HE'S AN OLD MA N
"NOt Strong Enough to Shave
HIMSELF" Said Larry Mclean.
Speaking of Plank, Who Held
Giants ScOreIess 8 Innings.
(By RUDE Marquard.)

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-'I've got tic
take my time; I'm an old man, nearly
40 years of age. I can't pick up that
ball and throw it the next second"
This was the remark made by Eddie
Plank and we fellows thought
there were tears in his eyes. The
Athletic infield were trying to hurry
go the pace with Christy Mathewson
who is without doubt the greatest
that ever lived. Matty outguessed
both Collins and Baker all the way
through.
None of us cared to express our
opinion openly about Plank, though
we everyone felt that he was not all
in until Larry Mclean made his sec
ond hit.
why, this old boy isn't strong
enough to shave himself" said Larry,
and you ought to have heard Wilbert
Robinson roar.
'Say. kids" put in Wilbert, plank
is an old man and they were trying to
that he would be there. Everybody
take little swing, for the old boy is
a goner and he won't figure in this
series any more"
Just as I predicted Tuesday, even
though lost my game, the Giants are
absolutely confident. They showed
this in the second battle, for they out
gained the Athletics in every depart
the moment he started to pitch. 1t
was fight, fight on our bench. Nc
Graw and Robinson and Matty him
self kept shouting to the boys, Flight
them out, they'll quit
L don't call the Athletics cutters
but say we had the gamer team and
will win my battle on Friday. Tes-
reau will pitch tomorrow and feel
pretty sure McGraw will put me in the
next day. Tesreau will be up against
youngster, probably Shawkey, and
he'll beat him.
L figure that the pennant is as good
as won now. True, we are hurt by
the absence of Meyers and Merkle,
good hitters, but look what Wiltse did.
And don't forget Mclean. Larry came
from tail end club and worked Just
as though he had been accustomed to
playing worlds series games every
day He called the turn on Plank and
he had more nerve than anybody on
the club, not excluding McGraw.
MatheWson pitched this, the great
est game of his life. without making
a mistake of judgment. He had these
hitters down so fine it was pie
to outgueSs them.
The joke of it was that the Athletics
said they could tell what Matty was
going to pitch by the way he held his
hands. Matty was onto this and en-
tirely changed his style, covering up
every ball he threw. Collins kept
looking for Matty's fast ones and the
old boy slipped Eddie a curve, striking
him out twice. He crossed Baker the
same way.

IT WAS WILTSE
Pitcher Playing First Helped
Matty Most to Win.
His Fielding in Ninth Saved
Day for Giants.
(By Damon Runyon.)

| Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-One name
tells the story and the name is Christy
Mathewson. 1t is becoming an olu
tale, this tale of how the man they
| have termed the Old Master rose to
| the emergency in the affairs of the
| New York Giants, but it must be re-
| told today, for it was the day that the
| big blonde fellow swept to the helght
| of his long baseball career.
Backed by a makeShift lineup that
seemed pitifully inefficient when com
| pared to the formidable fighting front
| of the Philadelphia Athletics, Mathew
son pitched the Giants to a ten inning
victory over the Mack men in the sec
ond game of the worlds series.
With three Giant regulars out of the
game and a fourth half crippled and
with a pitcher playing first base be-
hind him-but playing it in way that
will be talked about for many day
to come-"Big Six shut out the slug
ging champions of the American
League by a score of to 0. More,
it was Mathewson himself who drove
in the first of the Giants runs during
that mad melee in the tenth inning,
practically winning his own game, as
they say.
It was in that tenth inning-the
moment Of actual victory-that Ma
thewson showed at his best. however
1t, as always, was the moment when
it seemed certain he would be dragged
down to defeat, that was the moment
of his greatest glory, and the moment
when 10000 persons-Philadelp
and New Workers alike-leaped up in
mighty demonstration as he shut
fled from the pitching mound, then
fell back in their seats gasping from
excitement.
ming, the critical point of the whole
game, when a play revolving, oddly
enough, about the willowy farm of
George Wiltse. veteran pitcher of the
Giants, who was stationed on first
base in Fred Merkles place, turned
the tide in favor of the Giants. 1t
was, oddly enough, too, the very fact
that Wiltse and not Merkle was On
first base that made the play possible
BECAUSE Wiltse is a left handler and no
right handed first baSeman could have
made that play.
It goes to show the queer quirks
and turns of baseball fortune, for the
a bSence of Merkle was regarded as a
finishing blow to the hopes of the
Giants. The big SlaShing first base
man of the Gotham club sprained his
ankle in the final inning of the game
Tuesday afternoon when Johnny Bak-
er knocked the Giant galley west
Fred Snodgrass, the only other man
in the McGraw band who can play
first base, was already lame and Nc
Graw probably spent many a sleep
less hour that night trying to decide
who he would start at that station.
There was talk of Otis Crandall,
the smuggling but heavy footed pitcher,
and there was talk of Arthur Wilson,
the block catcher, but finally McGraw
started Snodgrass. Always he had
Wiltse in mind. however. In practice
and exhibition games the slender
southpaw has frequently played the
bag but probably never with any seri-
Gus intention of becoming a first base
man-certainly not in a game of such

Cavalry Maneuyers Are Con-
Quoted Before President
Without Bugle Call or Shouted
Words of Command.
PARADE OF 1000 TROOPERS
To Illustrate the Advance Made
in the Service.
Strongest Mounted Force Seen
Since the War.

Washington, Oct 9.-Trotting down
from the Virginia hills overlooking
Washington. 1000 khaki clad caval-
rymen invaded Washington today to
pass in review before President Will
son and the military attaches of the
foreign embassy and legations. The
review was planned to illustrate the
great advance made in cavalry tao
tics. The men fresh from their camp
in Fort Meyer, constituted the strong
est regular mounted force of the army
that has passed before a president
since the close of the Civil war.
The center of the maneuvers, which
were arranged to follow the march
in review was a stand in Potomac
park, especially constructed for the
president. Invited to share it with the
chief executive were Secretary Gar
rison and other members of the cab
met, Major General Wood, chief of
staff of the army, the heads of the
various bureaus of the war depart
ment and the members of the senate
and house military affairs committees.
The foreign military attaches wearing
the brilliant uniforms of their respec-
tive ranks and mounted, were on the
scene to lend a setting of color to the
picture.
Early today great crowds thronged
the river front, seeking points of van
tage from which to view the maneu-
vers.
The brigade. which will be disband-
ed tomorrow and sent to the different
posts from which it was assembled,
consisted of the Tenth from Fort
Ethan Allen, Vermont; the Eleventh
from Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and
two squadrons of the Fifteenth, one
of them from Fort Sheridan, Ill, and
the other from Fort Myer, Va. Every
thing about the maneuVerS empha-
sized the contrast of today's organiza-
tions and maneuvers with those of the
far away days when the marching
hosts passed through the national cap
ital at the close of the civil war.
Today's review and t. intricate
drills set imme diately to follow show
ed the latest skill and horsemanship
resulting from practice since midsum-
mer in the Shenandoah valley of g.

of Uncle Sans defense. The brigade
was commanded by Colonel c. H.
Murray.
With the review over, the maneuv-
ers Immediately followed. The tests
were made in troop squadron, regi-

feature of the new cavalry system was
the drills without bugle calls or shout

the horses feet absolute silence pre-
vailed.
With the minor formation maneuv-
ers executed, came the climax in the

Uncle Sam Will Not Permit Revolu-

Santo Domingo, Oct. 9.-The Amer

public, James NJ. Sullivan, has in
duced the warning factions in this
country to sign a peace pact and the
revolution headed by General Horatio
Vasquez against the government of

The American minister's action is
the first successful application of the
United States governments Latin
American policy, with regard to the
Dominican republic which is to the
effect that arms can never again set
tie any question in this country.
Mr.. Sullivan has made it known
that the last civil war in this republic
has been fought. In the future any
uprising, he says, will be stamped out
as criminal without a conference be-
ing held between the opposing fac
tions. the United States government

ity against force. regardless of the
merits of the issue. The people of
Santo Domingo are being instructed
that the remedy for future grievances
lies in the free ballot at a future cleo

The American policy as announced
by Mr. Sullivan, has been accepted by
all parties regardless of political af-
filiationS.
The American minister arrived at
Santo Domingo city from the United
States on September II and immedi-
ately brought about an armistice be-
tween the rebels and the government
troops fighting in the north depart
ment. Since then negotiations have
been in progress continuously with the

Clay County Attorney Wins - Grim

Clay Center, Kan, Oct. 9.-W. T.
Roche, county attorney of Clay coun-
ty, no doubt has the most unique rec
ord of any prosecuting attorney in the
state of Kansas. Clay county has a
population of about 10000, and Mr..

In that time he has had twenty-seven
criminal cases and only lost one. 1t

hours to arrive at a verdict. The
county commissioners have only paid
in costs during his administration for
criminal prosecutions $3.50 while he
has paid into the county treasury

any other public officer, should fall
into any one of that category of dere-
| lotions, it would be a pleasure and an
| honor to prosecute him.
But most of the discussion which
| has centered around the fish and
game warden and the fish hatchery
is question of public policy and the
wisdom of the acts of the legislature,
or the lack of wisdom, whereby the
! law devoted the entire funds of that
department to the construction of thai
hatchery; but since the law author
lied it and directed that it be done by
the warden under the direction of the
board of regents and the governor,
the state fish and game warden could
have been ousted from office if he
had failed and neglected to cause
this enormous fish hatchery to be
erected; but he certainly cannot be
ousted from office because he did
do it.
Like Panama Canal.
LAS to the hatchery itself, it is
good deal like the Panama canal. A
critic of the Panama canal could say
that the authorities in charge had
been down there for nine years and
had spent four hundred millions of
dollars in a canal and that not one
ton of freight had been floated
through the canal yet at the end of
nine years The wisdom of the canal
can only be indicated by the future,
and the wisdom of the fish hatchery,
or lack of it, can only be indicated
by the future.
Il have only found two opinions con-
corning Prof. Dyche. One is that he
is faker and a humbug and knows
no more about fish than a fish knows
about quadratic equations. The other
opinion is that he is the most learned
scientific fish expert of the age; that
he has Izaak Walton and Louis Agas-
siz beaten to a standStill. If 1 am COM
PEELED to adopt either of these views, it
shall be the latter.
Newspaper Interviews.
Touching Prof. Dyche's many in
teresting newspaper interviews and
the many alleged inconsistencies there
in the professor says that if he is to
be inundated on their account that he
might as well give up at once There
is nothing in the custer law. 1 am glad
to say. that will warrant the removal
of public officer on account of his
newspaper interviews even if they are
apparently inconsistent.

has a right to break into print, if he

government report would be bearish tend
ed today to ease the wheat market. There
was also an estimate that the Italian crop
was the largest on record. Active buying,
however, on the part of leading house
here steadied prices. The opening was

prices again sagged below last nights

CORN-Unsettled weather helped give
corn an upturn but until somewhat ag-
