New York, Oct 9.--Leslie Bush
climbed into the baseball hall of
fame here this afternoon when he
defeated the Giants In the third
game of the Worlds Series His
teammates aided materially but the
majority of the glory was due the
youngster who startled the diamond
veterans with his speed and control
Bush was so effective that three OF
the Giatns' hit were scratches and
but three Of the Athletics put outs
were made out of the inield. For
innings at a time no ball left the
infield and his teammates tore into
Tesreau with O fusilade of raps in
the first two innings that netted
five runs and relieved the strain on
young Bush.
Bush did not pitch great ball hut
had enough speed and breaks to puz-
zle the Giants. He was wild but the
wonderful work Of the Philadelphia
nelders saved him. Bush's admir-
ers predict a great career for him.
Tesreau Fails Miserably.
When Marquard was beaten in
the first game, 1t was thought that
Tcsreau would bear the brunt OF the
work but he failed miserably today.
Ills spitter was working but he
lacked control and the Athletic
swatters drove the pill to all parts
Of the field. So hard did they drive
the ball that the defeat would have
been complete rout but for the
sensational work Of the Giants in
field. IIerzog, Doyle aud Fletcher
worked wonderfully in the critical
stages. boyle's work in the second
and seventh innings was of the sort
that made Honus Wagner famous
he world over
Nearly thirty-seven thousand
fans saw young Bush carve his name
in the hall of fame and it was
bigger crowd than that which saw
the FIRST game.
First Starts Sc0r ng.
The scoring started with a rush,
Oldrinc and Collins singing in the
first inning with two strikes on

Athletic run. Collins and Baker

TALK ON LINCOLN AND WAR
Telegraph Operator to Help

week will be celebrated here on the even
ing of July in the Young Peoples
Temple by an illustrated lecture on Lin
coin in the Telegraph Office" by David
Homer Bates, one Of the survivors OF the
War Department telegraph staff during
the Civil War.
Mr. Bates. who is believed to be the
only biographer of Abraham Lincoln who
met him daily during the war, was man
ager and cipher operator in the War De-
partment telegraph office from 1851 10 IoVo.
Two of Mr.. Bates's associates in the War
Department. Charles A. Tinker and AL
bert B. Chandler. are still living in
Brooklyn.
The translation by Mr.. Bates and his
associates Of two ciphers written by a
Confederate emissary in New York In
December, 1853. caused Charles A. Dana,
Assistant Secretary of War, to rush TO
New York TO lay the information before
General John A. Dix, commanding. With
in forty-eight hours the conspirators were
arrested, and the seizure Of two ocean
steamers by Confederate agents on
Christmas Day prevented. A facsimile
of the cipher dispatch will be shown and
the key by which 1t was translated ex-
planned by Mr.. Bates.

terrific attack that the whole rebel

At 6 the cannonade grew fiercer than
ever. and the storm Of death swept over
the field from then till darkness ended
the conflict. In the main or strength
ened columns held the line; at points
they were forced back little; few
prisoners were lost. on the whole the
rebels were unsuccessful but we had
not quite held our own.
Some caissons had been blown up on
either side barn on the Emmitsburs
Road was fired by the rebel shells. and
its light gave their sharpshooters
little longer time at that point to work.
Both sides lay on their arms ex-
hausted. but insatiate, 10 wait for the
dawning.
Results and Doubtful Issue.
The Third and Second Corps were
badly shattered. The Eleventh had mol
been quite so much engaged-its ar
tillery had kept the rebels at greater
distance-but 1t had behaved well.

miles away from Gettysburg while the
battle here was raging. arrived in camp
to-day. He brought with him Con-

sion. He will return il to Governor
William Hodges Mann Of Virginia,
distant relative, tomorrow afternoon,

Every bit of the spare equipment
Of the United States Army is in use
now in the Gettysburg camp, and
there seems urgent need OF more.
Between o'clock last night and
o'clock this morning fifty-nine special
trains fairly bursting with. veterans
came into camp at short Intervals
until the old battlefield groaned under
$1,000 veterans. The army authori-
ties had been told by the Pennsyl-
vania commissioners that they need
expect no more than 10000 at the
height of the celebration, and so some
, thing like $500 old men found them
selves unprovided for.
The principal lack was of cots, there
being practically enough blankets TO
go around. Some Of the unfortunate
veterans were quartered in the big
reunion tent with straw bedding, and
others were stuffed into tents already
containing their full quota and made
as comfortable as possible on piles
of straw They are not much better
off tonight. A train load OF Confed-
crates brought the story that the
Baltimore Union Station resembled
lodging house last night. so thick were
the sleeping veterans from the South
on the floors Of the waiting rooms
and on the benches, all of them on
their way here.
