today McGraw sent in Mathewson to
grapple again with Plank. But even
Matty, the miracle man, had no magic
and no wizardry which might cope
with the power OF the foe on one side
and the weakness OF his pals upon
the others. And while the mighty
Mathewson was struggling between
two such fires in vain, Plank, one of
the grandest of pitching veterans,
worked his last and greatest game.
The southpaw for the first time in
his league career whipped Mathswson
and the count was 3 to !. He held
the young and virile Giants in the
hollow of his 40 year old paw. He
choketr them down with two hits and
but twenty-eight foemen faced him at
the plate. But for his own muff OF an
easy pop fly from Murray's bat in the
fifth round, he would have shut the
Giants out with one base hit and
only the regulation twenty. seven men
would have faced him from the firing
zone He has announced hts retire
ment and if this statement carries,
the remarkable southpaw can sit back
through the years beyond and nurse
the greatest dream come true that
might befall any contender of the
tribe-that the final ball game that he
ever worked marked by all odds the
greatest he had ever pitched
The Fadeless Trio.
They say that youth will be served
but in the closing summing up. kindly
, remember this-eight years ago. the
Giants and Athletics met and OF the
Ave games won, four we're gathered
in by Mathewson and Bender, with
Plank in the thick OF the fight Since
that date youngsters have come and
passed stars have risen and faded
under the drive OF the game. But OF
this present series, out of FIVE games
won four were gathered In by Math
ewson, Bender and Plank. This face
less trio had seen the service of big
league war before most OF those en-
gagged had taken two jumps from the
cradle. And yet, when the ultimate
test arrived, 1t was not youth that
was to be served but three who might
be called old in game where time
beckena early with GESTURE not 81 be
denied.
Mathewson fought losing fyh,
from the start in the battle which
gave Mack his third world champion
ship and McGraw his third straigh,
defeat. For the beating the Giants
HANDED their rivals eight years ago
the present Mackian machine haE
more than furnished vengeance. But
not through Mathewson's failure. The
first run scored from him came
through high peg to the plate b,
Burns, that should have retired the
side. The next two came in the third
when Doyle fumbled and Merkle, with
a runner trapped between third ant
home. lost his bearings and blew ths
works with fatal delay. Then Math
ewson, remembering his Giant supper
from 1912 took the game from the
! hands of his pals and worked 1t alone
! OF the next eighteen Mackmen wnt
i faced him, but two reached first base
and anyone who has seen this drivins
mauling line up hit ball can appre
( ciate what this means.

Murphy Promises Reply
as Soon as All Sulzer
Charges Are Completed

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-When
asked to reply to the charges made
against him by William Sulzer,
Charles r Murphy last night caused
the following statement to be is
sued:
at have reliable information that
the fusion campaign managers, for
political effect, have arranged for the
publication of a series of Sulzer
statements When the series is COM
plete I shall give the press my an
swer."
Mr.. Murphy did not reach his desk
in Tammany Hall until after 3
o'clock.
"Win you make any comment on
MIR. suffers statements?" he was
asked.
It haven't read them yet he re-
piled. 81 won't have anything to
say about this until 1 have read the
whole statement. Then I will make
statement In reply. 1t will be
given to you tonight"
The brief statement that Mr.. Muir
phy gave out was dictated by
Thomas r. Smith, secretary of Tam
many Hall. Mr.. Smith, on his own
account, denied the assertion in the
Sulzer Interview that he had asked
Mr.. Sulzer what he had said to Pres
ident Wilson Immediately following
his call at the White House.
TT is true" Mr.. Smith said. that
I met Mr.. Sulzer by chance outside
the White House the day after Pres
ident Wilson'S Inauguration. He in
PRODUCED me to his brother John, and
then remarked jokingly that 1 sup
posed he was walking about the
White House grounds to familiarize
himself with them, in view of the
years to come. That was all there
was to 1t.
Il deny that I ever asked Mr..
Sulzer to be present at a conference
of the New York State leaders at the
Shoreham Hotel"
Senator James J. Frawley, chair
man of the committee which collect
ed the evidence on which Mr.. Sulzer
was impeached, said:
IT don't see that 1t answers any of
the charges on which Mr.. Sulzer was
convicted"
Mr.. Frawley characterized the
SuIzer statements about appoint
ments having been solicited for John
F. Calvin, ''The" McManus and
James Gaffney as Ties"
Concerning the question of SEN
ator's salary of $500 being Chicken
feed" Mr.. Frawley said: "Of course
senator can't live on that alone. II
is expected that he will have some
other business"

owed 1t, and other personal ques-
titons.
He repeated his offer of money,
saying that 1t was for the good OF
the party; that the organization did
not want me to be hampered finan-
cially, and he (Murphy) would allow
me whatever I needed above my sal
airy for my living expenses while l
was at the executive mansion.
But again I refused and then he
said:
"If you need money at any time
let me know and you can have what
you want. We cleaned UP q lot OF
money on your campaign. I can at
ford to let you have what you want
and never miss it.
Now, the next time / saw Mr..
Murphy was at Justice Edward E.
McCalls house in New York city on
the night of the "a of February. l
talked from Albany with Mr.. Mccall
over the telephone about the Public
Service Commissionership.
I'VE made an appointment to meet
at his house that night.
Mccall as Compromise.
IT urged the appointment of Henry
Morgenthau or George Foster
Peabody or Colonel John Temple
Graves Mr.. Murphy would not hear
to these men. He talked long and
earnestly in behalf of Mr.. Calvin.
Finally I suggested as a compro-
mise Judge Mccall Mccall himself
said that he would accept provided it
was agreeable to Mr.. Murphy.
MIR. Murphy was agreeable to the
appointment of Justice Mccall, and it
was understood that the justice
should send me his resignation by
messenger Monday afternoon.
"At this meeting and subsequently
Mr.. Murphy demanded from me
pledges regarding legislation. and
especially concerning appointments to
the public service commissions, the
health department, the labor depart
ment, the State hospital commission,
the department of State prisons and
the department of highways. He in
sisted that George M. Palmer should
be appointed chairman and Patrick
Z. McCabe a member of the public
service commission of the second
district. This is the 'PaclSy' McCabe
who Is Murphy's political lieutenant
in Albany.
Murphy Declares War.
"Mr. Murphy added that if I wished
a new commissioner of highways Jim
Gaffney was the best all-arounc man
for the job. Subsequently he de-
manded the appointment of Gaffney.
and still later a prominent New
Yorker came TO me in the executive
mansion, bringing the message from
Mr., Murphy that it was 'Gaffney or
war l declined TO appoint Gaffney.
Zone of the agents through whom
Mr.. Murphy most frequently commu-
nicated with me was Justice Mccall.
Justice Mccall usually spoke of Mr..
Murphy as the Chief and would say
to me that the Chief wished such
and such thing done Or demanded
that l follow such and such a course
of action.
81 was impeached, not because of
any misdoings, 1T because I declined
to recognize Mr.. Murphy III the
Chief'-the invisible and all-powerful
chief in the government of this
State; because I would not obey the

emissaries at this end Of the line

M'CALL DENIES
SULzER CHARGES
Democratic Candidate for May
orally of New York Brands
Statements False.

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-Edward E.
Mccall. Democratic nominee for
mayor, last night gave out a long
statement explaining his version of
the part he played in the Sulzer-
Murphy quarrel. IN the first para
graph of the statement he said he had
no desire ito add an atom to his
great troubles" but that he could not
permit Mr.. Suffers statements to go
unchallenged.
Mr.. Mccall said he had been pres
ent at two of the interviews Mr.. Sui
ger had with Charles It. Murphy in
this city. The first of them was In
the Mccall residence just before Mr..
McCalrs appointment as chairman of
the Public Service Commission. The
second was in Mr.. Murphy's house in
the early morning Of April 10. On
the first occasion, the Democratic
nominee said, the only subject dis
cussed was the commission chair
manship, and Mr.. Murphy, he as
serted, opposed the naming of Mr..
Mccall and even went so far as to
say that he was disposed to advocate
that I be not confirmed" On the sec
ond, he continued, Mr. Sulzer did
most of the talking and 1t related
entirely to the direct primaries
measure.
No Threats Made.
mo threats of any kind were
made" Mr.. Mccall stated. mo dis
cussion was had regarding officers OF
any kind. Both gentlemen parted in
the most amicable frame OF mind"
Mr.. Mccall further denied that he
ever had acted as q messenger for
Mr.. Murphy, that he ever had re-
ferred to the Tammany leader as
1.-The chief" or that he had heard the
name of THE McManus" mentioned
for any office by any one Except the
governor himself"
Objected TO Wilcox.
Mr.. Sulzer, the Mccall statement
continued, objected to Mr.. Wilcox on
the ground he was Republican, and
then mentioned the names of several
men, declaring that he would not ap-
point them. OF Henry Morgenthau,
Mr. Mccall remarked, the governor
said that he probably would be APP
pointed secretary of the treasury, but
when Mr. Mccall advocated his ap-
pointment 10 the Craftsmanship Mr..
Sulzer said he had concluded not to
name him. =
"He then turned to me and said,
There is just one man that could re-
lieve me of this anxiety that is bear
ing down upon me- and he said, You
are the man." Mr.. McCalPs state
ment read, MY reply to that was,
Governor, you are crazy. I do not
want to enter into any discussion of
this matter at all, so that you cannot
possibly indulge the hope that I will
take the place I want you to put 1t
out of your mind left the executive
mansion somewhere around midnight,
believing that 1 had made myself
to the governor and
hoping that he would accept 1t in the
proper spirit"
