Emery denied the truth of Mulhalls let

Doesn't it strike you as odd that Null

Mr.. Emery was not surprised.
Mr.. Emery testified he had never re-

that he hoped to have the bill referred

its constitutionality.

Mr.. Emery swore he knew nothing Of
Mulhall paying Isaac McMichael, the
House chief page, regular salary. Mr..
Emery said he disapproved Of Mulhall

JOHNNY KlLBANE
DEFEATS JULIAN
The Champion Fails to Show
Knockout Punch But Out
classes Opponent.

Kid Julian, the Syracuse feather
weight, is a stanch believer in the
adage that he who gets hit and runs
away will live to run another day.
The Kid certainly did some running
last night in his ten-round bout with
Johnny Knbane, the featherWeight
champion, in the ST. Nicholas A. c.,
New York. The title holder thorough
Iy outclassed his opponent and gave
him severe trouncing, but Julian's
defensive tactics enabled him to last
the limit. The Kid found it rather
stormy going all the way, and was on
the verge of a knockout on at least
five occasions.
When Julian was not running he
was holding, and when he wasn't do
ing either he was on the receiving end
of a man-size fusillade of about ey-
erything that Kilbane carries as his
pugilistic stock in trade. Five times
Julian went to the canvas, but five
times he arose, only once taking his
full count of nine.
Ki1bane tried with might and main
to put the sturdy Italian away, and
in the closing rounds fought with al
most frenzied fury. The son of sunny
Italy only ran and laughed. Julian
was certainly a hard man to hit, but
there were many who thought that a
boxer who measured up to the cham
pionsilip caIibre fully should have
stopped the Kid inside the ten rounds.

BENDER HAS MADE
FINE RECORD IN GAME

Charles Albert Bender is q Chip

ard, Mimi, May s. 1888. He is feet
inch tall and weighs about 40
pounds When Is yeanS of ago he
played first base for. the Carlisle In

1902 he pitched for Dickinson college

was signed by the Athletics. He did
good work part Of 1904 but was hand
icapped by poor health. An operation
for appendicitis put him in shape for
better work in 1905, but in mid-season
he was laid UP with kidney trouble
Later he recovered, did brilliant work
and won the deciding game Of the
American league championship race
from Washington in the last week Of
the season.
He was the Athletics pitching star
in the memorable 1905 worlds cham
pionship. series and won the only
game credited to the Athletics, shut
ting out the New Workers.. In the Sc
ries in 1911 Bender was again the Ath-
1etics' pitching hero.
He opened with q defeat, but came
back stronger than ever in the fourth
game of the SERIES which he won. He
then amazed and delighted the Ath-
letics' partizans by pitching and win
ming the sixth game with only one
days rest, and at that showing even
better form than in his other two
games.

WHITE SOX DOWN
JOHN EvERS' CUBS
Leaguers Hit Ball
Harder in Opening Game Of
Series.

Chicago, Oct 9GThe White Sox
series with the Cubs yesterday when
they downed the tribe of Evers by
to a. The Sox hit the ball harder and
knocked out Cheney, the Cubs best
twirler. Reb Russell of the Sox also
fell by the wayside but Scott, who
succeeded him, was master of the
Cubs.
The game was virtually lost in the
first inning by Cheney. Weaver and
Lord were easy out, and the Cub
pitcher had two strikes on Chase. The
White Sox's first baseman then wait
ed for four balls, and Bodie also
walked. Collins then drove. a liner to-
left, which Schultz failed to judge
accurately and the hit went for a
triple, Chase and Bodie scoring. Evers
and SAFER got Chappel. The Cubs
made an uphill fight, but despite
home runs by Goode and Safer, could
not win.
The Nationals in the eighth made
a desperate attempt to win. Safer
slammed the first ball against the
score-board and trotted around the
bases Goode was out on a, close play,
but Weavers tumble and Archer's
double put men on second and third,
with one out.
Evers then sent Phelan to the plate
in Cheney's place, but at sight of the
pinch hitter, Callahan withdrew Rus
sell and substituted Scott. In place of
Phe1an, Evers then put Williams, a
left-hander, in as pinch hitter and
Scott struck him out. Leach, with
three hits already to his credit, could
not make the fourth, sending
grounder to Berger, and Scott had
saved the game.

~HOME RUM BAKER AND
FAMOUS PAST WALLOPS

John Franklin Baker, or Home
Run Baker. as he is now commonly
called, was born in Trappe, Md,
weighs about IT'S pounds His first
professional engagemen was with the
Reading (Pa-) Tri-State league team
in 1908. Connie Mack secured him in
the fall of 1908. He made good with
the Athletics from the jump in 1909
and was the first player to knock a
ball over the wall of the new Shibe
ed. In the worlds series between the
Athletics and Giants in 1911 Baker
poIed out two home runs that broke
up two games on the Giants. His first
ur-bagger was made in the sixth
inning of the second game played in
Philadelphia, when the score was tied
with a run to the credit of each team.
Vanguard was on the mound for New
York and two were out when Collins
came up and doubled. With a ball
and a strike on him, Baker stepped
into a low fast ball and drove it far
and high over the right field wall,
sending Collins home ahead of him,
these two runs winning for Philadel-
phia. In the third game of the series
played in New York the following day
Baker came to bat in the ninth in
ming with one out, a run needed to tie

hit during his previous time at bat
With two balls and one strike on him
Baker caught a slow curve on the in
side and sent it crashing into the
right field stand for a home run,
which put the Athletics on earth
again with tied score and doomed
Christy Mathewson to defeat in the
18th inning.
