New York Leader Wants Drastic
Action on Fogel-Murphy
Statements

NEW YORK. Sept. 30.--Manager
John McGraw. OF the Giants. 10 angry
over the charges Of Fogel. Of Phila,
delphia, and Murphy. of Chicago. that
the Giants won the pennant through
favoritism shown by umpires.
Murphy and Fogel ought to be
made to prove their wild assertions
about the umpires, and failing to do
so they should be driven out Of or.
gained baseball" he said. 1T In
strange that they are the only club
owners who have cast reflection on
the honesty OF baseball. II there was
anything wrong why wouldn't some
other club owner make q kick too?"
President Ebbets OF the Brooklyn
club. sided with McGraw, saying that.
while there doubtless has been incom-
petence among the umpires, Fogel's
statement Is not correct.
The Philadelphia owner was rath-
er wild In stating that the Giants won
81 games through umpires," he said.

The new rules make officiating at
football games easier. according to
Frank Hurst, who was the referee OF
the CentralPort Huron game Satnr-
day at the ID. A. c. grounds.
The elimination OF the 20-yard zone
has taken away the greatest source
OF annoyance TO the officials. When
that zone had To be watched TO see
that onside kicks went no less than
20 yards from the line OF scrimmage
and that forward passes went less,
there was a lot more to worry about
than there is now. OF course. there
was an extra Official provided for
that. but nevertheless IL still bothered
the referee.
Central won easily from Port Huron
Saturday. So to 0.
There was hardly enough opposi-
ton put up by the Tunnel City boys
10 see just what effect the new rules
would have on the method OF play
Coach stockings men used the old
army game and the new forward
passes to tear of again after gain and

scored upon.

The sympathy OF the spectators at
an automobile race is always with the
small cars.
Yesterday In his match race with
Fitzpatrick and other drivers in big.
massive cars, Louis Disbrow In his
little Simplex Zip was always the
favorite.
When he gave Fitzpatrick, In his big
Hotchkiss, quartermile start and
beat him in two miles. the immense
crowd at the state fair track yester-
day afternoon went wild. o
Later In the afternoon, Disbrow
again received the reclamation Of the
throng when he broke the worlds 90
mile record, made In Syracuse by
Ralph DePalma.
After setting new three, four, 1--WE
and 1O-mile records at Cleveland re-
Gently, Disbrow yesterday succeeded
in adding the 50-mile mark to his list.

Sympathy of Crowd is With the
Small Car; DiSbrow Breaks Record

He did the distance in 20 minutes
and 32 seconds, two minutes less
than the mark made by DePalma. As
the meet was under the sanction OF
the contest board of the A. A. A, and
the timing was done with the cleo
trical devices, the record will be off,
cially recognized.
There were seven other events In
the afternoons program, including
match races and speed trials by Dis
brow, Fitzpatrick, Endicott, Nikrent
and utrecht.
Disbrow was overcome from ex-
haustion at the end OF his feat OF
smashing the worlds record. He had
been working steadily since 1880 In
the morning, but he was all right
later in the evening. He made two at
tempts at his record breaking. The
first time he had engine trouble and
was forced to stop after going 10
miles.

Waddell Was the Best
Twirler Fred Clarke
Ever Had to Face

Fred Clarke, the veteran man
ager OF the Pittsburg Pirates
and one OF the greatest batsmen
he game ever produced. says
RUDE waddell. the former Ath'
letic and ST. Louis southpaw,
was the greatest pitcher he ever
faced.
"The Rube had more speed
than any pitcher ! ever faced.
says Clarke. "That goes for EN-
eli. from Amos Rusis down. and
Big Amos was some pitcher
Contrary to the general impress
sion, Rusie was not q speed
merchant. ! know . dozen big
leaguers OF Rusie's day who had
more speed that Amos. The In
diana giants forte was his curve
ball. He had lots Of smoke, out
no such speed as wadden. I
think RUDE could shoot the ball
over the plate faster than any
man who ever stood In the box.
When Waddeil was fresh and
strong he had frightfal speed.
You couldn't follow the ball half
the time. Lucky Rube had fine
control or he would have made q
lot Of business for the under
takers.

WILSON NIGHT IN NEW YORK.
Democratic Nominee Speaker at Huge
Rally, Thursday.

New York, Oct. 31.-It was Wilson
night in New York City, the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Presidency ad-
dressing a big rally in the Bronx and
a tremendous outpouring of voters in
Madison Square Garden. He was
greeted demonstratively at both places,
the demonstration at the Garden con-
tinuing for an hour and three min
utes.
Gov. Wilson early took occasion to
reply to the talk of his opponents on
the prosperity of the country would
lie affected by his election. The Gov
ernor pointed to the betting odds in
Wall street, SO largely in favor of
Democratic success. frhis is what he
called his answer in nutshell, +.
showing, he declared, that there is
not the slightest prospect of any check
in the country's prosperity. The only
way the prosperity of the country
could be injured was by the deliberate
efforts of Wall street, he said,
THE gentlemen in Wall street don't
bet 5 to | on their own destruction,
was his way of putting it.
When Gov Wilson reached Mobiles
hall in the Bronx, where he made his
first czech of the evening, a big GROVE
was gathered He was given dem
onstration lasting 10 minutes
