work of the university he said:

Albany. \. Y, Oct. S.-The Sulzer
Impeachment trial came to an end
abruptly today. after the defense had

not take the stand in his own defense
Up to the last rumors fitted over
the impeachment chambers that Sui
Ter would stride into the reom and,
making a clean breast of his mis-
takes. attempt to impress the court
that he had no wrong intent. But he
remained in seclusion in the eXecu.
tive chamber.
Tonight an insistent report has Il
that the governor, convinced that his
lawyers have failed to purge him OF
the charges Of high crimes and mis-.
demeanors, is to resign. At the exc
cutive mansion no word came from
the governor
The summing UP will begin tomor-
row morning. Five hours are to be
allotted each side Attorney Marshall

Alton B. Parker will reply for the i'm

On Friday D. Cady Herrick will
close for $he defense, while ex-Sena-
tor Edgar T. Bracket will wind up
for the prosecution.
After that adjournment will be
taken in all likelihood until Tuesday
when the court will assemble to reach
it's verdict.
The general impression here tonight
is that Sulzer is doomed His fail
ure to testify is taken as an indica-
ton of innate conviction in his own

The Impeachment courts vote, it is

Philadelphia, Oct. S.-"I've got to
take my time. I'm an old man nearly
forty cant pick up that ball and

9Th was the remark made by Ed
die Plank today and we fellows
thought there We're tears in his eyes.
The Athletic infield were trying to
hurry him along. Plank simply
could not go the pace with Christy
Mathewson, who is without doubt
the greatest pitcher that ever lived.
Matty outsuessed both Collins and
Baker all the way through.
None of us care to express ourt
opinion openly about Plank, though
we, everyone, felt that he was not all
in until Larry Mclean made his
second hit
"Why, this old boy isn't strong
enough to shave himself" said Larrys
and you ought to have heard Wilbert
Robinson roar.
"Say, kids" put in Wilbert, plank
is an old man and they are trying to
hand us something when they FORE
told that he would be there. Every
body take a little swing for the old
boy is a goner and he won't figure
in this series any MORE"
Just as l predicted yesterday.

Giants are absolutely confident.

in every department. Matty had

Eight innings of a Titanic pitch

Eddie Plank-and something must be
said here and now for Plaak-de-
feated, but great in his defeat.
Thirteen years in the harness and
nearing his fortieth birthday, an
age when most ball stars have pass
ed and been forgotten, the "Gettys-
burg gatling" fought a wonderful
fight.
The oldest pitcher in point of SER
vice in his league, just as Mathewson
is the oldest in the National League,
Plank pitched with all the craft that
has made him one Of the greatest
eft-handers that ever wore created
shoe, but gradually the terrific strain
told on him and gradually the cum
ming faded from his hands. Towards
the close it was patent that Plank
was done.
In the last half of the momentous
ninth, Amos Strunk hit the second
ball MathewsOn pitched to him for a
single across second, and a groan
rose from the Gotham rooters scat
tered through the stand. They feared
that this was the beginning o. the
end and that fear was augmented
when "Black jack Barry, the great
short fielder of the Mack men. bunt
ed at Mathewson, and the big Train
missed a lunge at the ball. Doyle
ran up and recovered the ball and
chucked it over to Wiltse at first

throw was wild.
