Fl Portal. Cal. Oct. 9.-President
Taft's rest In Yosemite Park is over.
and Tomorrow morning he will re-
sumo his speechmaking tour
He viii stop at Merced In the morning
long enough to attend service at the
Presbyterian church, and in the after
noon he viii speak before the United
Church Congregations Of Fresno.
He win reach Los Angeles early Mon
day morning and after two days stay
there viii turn East
The President left the park this aft
ernoon burned by the sun Of three days
OF staging and feeling fit to face the
most enthusiastic local committees that
ever arranged a banquet.
The President also came out singing the
beauties Of the Yosemite like other tour
lists and determined TO do everything in
his power 10 preserve them and make
them more accessible to the public
John Muir at His Side.
With the President when he left the
park was John Muir the naturalist. who
had been close at his side for three days.
TO him the President rendered his sin
cere thanks for having unfolded many Of
the beauties OF the park that otherwise
would have passed unnoticed.
President Taft's announcement that he
VIII visit the Philippines In 1911 is likely
to stir up discussion through the country
and when the bill approprlating $4,000
for his travelling expenses during the
year comes up for passage In Congress,
the subject may be thrashed out in even
warmer language.
II do not believe trat the President
ought TO leave the country for any such
length Of time as a trip 20 the Philip
pines would require" said one or the
California statesmen who accompanied
Taft into the Yosemite. But Of course
it s all right for him TO make a trip like
the present one. which does not take him
out OF the country or even to go to Pana-
ma. which hardly puts him out OF sight
OF our shores; but the Philippines are a
long way from home and the people at
large. L think. cling TO the old-fashiOned
belief that the President ought to
stick pretty close TO home"
Those who are urging the President 20
make the Trip contend ne VIII never be
out Of communication with Washington.
either by wireless or by cable. even when
he is I'm the middle OF the Pacific: that he
can thus direct the affairs OF state from
shipboard or from land at every stop on
his journey and he would only touch at
our ports.
CuIminatfOn OF Tour.
The elimination Of the Presidents s
sightseeing tour Of the park came prop
erly enough on his last day there. when
he descended on foot the steep. winding
trail from Glacier Point 70 the foot Of
the Yosemite Valley. 1t took the Presi-
dent three hours TO make the descent, and
almost every step opened up a glorious
panorama,
1t was four-mile walk FOR the Presi-
dent over rocks and through sand ankle
deep in places. but Mr.. Taft stood Il bet
ter than other members OF his party.
Representatives McKinlay and Needham
native Californians, both gave out and
had 10 call for horses that were being

Pittsburg, Oct. 9.-Pittsburg to-
day went down to defeat before the
Detroits in one Of the fastest games
that was ever played in Pittsburg.
The speed of the American
League champions was bewilder-
ing, not only to the Pittsburg play
ers, but to the $1,000 spectators as
well. The final score was 7 to ?.
While the majority of fans at
Pittsburg were wondering last
night how the Detroit team which
played here yesterday ever won
the American League pennant, the
same fans are wondering ,-rioht
how Pittsburg got away
game yesterday.
ODDS SHIFT TO TIC
So favorably impressel ERE
Pittsburg sports tonight -
showing of Detroit that the odds
have been shifted to Detroit's side
of the case, since the next two
games are to be played in Detroit.
A startling example Of the diff
ference in speed of the two teams
was given in the third inning, when
Ty Cobb stole home from third
while Willis held the ball
The Tigers played gingery, snap
py ball all the way, and not for a
moment did the Pittsburgers have
a look-in after the first inning. The
Tigers made plenty Of hits, and
made them when they counted.
Wild Bill Donovan, after the in
itial round, kept the few hits he
gave SO well scattered that the Pi-
rates looked like a bunch of school
boys.
Pitched MnsterfuI Game.
Donovan pitched masterfuI game. He
wabbled a little in the opening inning.
( but after that worked like piece OF we'll
oiled machinery. Two hits were made by
I Clarke's warriors in the first round. one
I in the third inning. one in the fourth. and
a scratch single by Wagner in the ninth.
I Only three Pirates reached first base IN
the last five innings. and two Of them got
there on errors.
/ In the other worlds series. Donovan
was a consistent loser because ne de-.
I pended mainly upon his great speed. The,
/ Cubs waited him out in all the games
and generally lambasted him in the con-
Guiding innings. Donovan had almost per-.
( feet control Of a fine curve ball to-day,
and besides. mixed in a bunch OF fast and
slow ones that bewiIdered Clarke's men.
/ He worked every angle known 20 the
1 expert pitcher and the Pirates were so
( astonished at the change in his manner
OF pitching that they were fooled COM
pletely time after time, seven OF them
falling victims TO Donovan's wide ones
/ for strike-outs.
Jennings team did not look anything
like the club that faced the National
/ League champions on the opening day
( They stung the ball, played beautiful
/ fielding game. and ran bases with in-
telligence as well as speed. ''Ty" Cobb,
was the only Tiger TO steal base, but,
