Every time that somebody suggests
to Psekey Mcfarland to 60 out after
the welTerweight championship the
Chicago boys seems sOrely peeved. But
We don't see him making anything like

Cyclone" Johnny Thompson. who
has taken parts in fights since 1902,
has finally announced his retirement

stars in the middleweight GLASS in

that he was getting too old 10 fight

engaged in the active entsrprise of
foiling him.
The uncertainty coiled itself around
those ebullient sports who are wont to
rage around looking for bets.
After the upheaval of fiscal enthu-
siasm over the Athletics yesterday
the betting went back to mild man
nered, even money to-day, and not
lot of that.
In all of this uncertainty there are
few facts that can be put forth with
out fear of libel or a subpoena duces
tecum. One is that grand old Chief
Meyers is out OF this here series for
keeps. He was practicing yesterday
with one finger in swaddling clothes,
and in his natural desire to protect
himself he interposed the life of his
thumb in the way of a throw from
Herzog the resnlt of which feat is
one of the worst thumbs in the annals
of the big league.
We are now thrown back into the
realm of uncertainty once more No
body can definitely say, for instance
or, if they can, they won't-who will
play first base for the Giants. Mer-
kle's ankle may head him off, and
Snodgrass went lame yesterday.
1t is possible that George Waltse
will once more grant us the favor of
Witnessing his feats OF arms and
hands and legs around first base, and
if so, we want a ringside seat.
Mr.. Hooks" Wiltse is hereby nomi-
mated for the All-American first base
man.

"The Old Master" 0utpitches
Veteran Plank in Great Bat
tie of BOxmen.
By Damon Runyon.

FEW YORK, Oct. 9-One name
N tells the story and the name is
Christy Mathewson.
1t is becoming an old tale, this tale
of how the mo . they have termed
how we'll the aave termed-"THE
OLD MASTASS-rose to a great
emergency in the affairs of the
Giants, but it must be retold, for it
was yesterday that the big blond fell
low swept to the supreme height of
his long baseball career.
Backed by a makeshift line up that
seemed pitifully inefficient when com
pared to the formidable fighting front
Of the Philadelphia Athletics, Math-
ewson pitched the Giants to a ten
inning victory over the Mackmen in
the second game of the Worlds
Series.
With three Giant regulars out Of
the game, fourth half crippled, and
with a pitcher playing first base be-
hind htm-but playing it in a way
that will be talked about for many
day to come-"Big Six shut out the
smuggling champions of the American
League by a score of 3 to 0.
More-it was Mathewson himsalf
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.
In the babble over the deeds of
Matty the Mighty, no one forgets-
for no one can ever forget-the per-
Torrance of his rival, the wonderful
Eddie Plank.
1t was a meeting of two masters of
the pitching craft; of two veterans
who are among the few survivors of
that great class between the same
teams for the first worlds champion
ship title of modern day baseball
eight years ago.
And in talking of this last bitter
struggle between the old rivals no one
forgets the part played in it by such
men as Wiltse, Burns and Larry Nc
Lean, who saved the dav for Mettv

The official report of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson is an extremely able and
interesting document. Lest The Herald
be accused of undue partialitv toward
the Department and toward govern
ment officials generally it ventures to
suggest that the report be read and
pudged Oh its own merits. We nov ven
ture to call attention to one or more
points which are Of peculiar interest.
Most of rs remember how, from year
to year, through 4 long series Of years,
as a sample Of the signal ability with
which government business was being
conducted. il was proudly announced
that the postal department could now
show receipts far in excess of eXpendi
lures. Then there were later wears in
which the department ran steadily be
hind. In 1911. however, we are told of
a surplus to the credit of this depart
ment, of $%219,llS.l2.
In his late report the Postmaster
General shows concluSivcly that in
stead of a surplus there was in reality
a deficit of Il rather formidable amount
at that time. The actual deficit arose
from the fact that the auditors report
for each year, showing money actually
received and expended during that wear
was taken as showing the actual fin
ancial condition for that year. Yet
these reports took no account Of money
due on outstanding debts, and hence rs
a means of showing the actual financial
condition Of the department were un-
reliable. Mr.. BurIeSon makes the rAth-
er startling announcement that the de
partment. during the last thirty years.
has never had an actual surplus above
its liabilities. To make this matter clear
it is proper to quote the exact words
of the current report.
"PoStmaStcrS General in recent wears
have stated the pcrSi>tchtly rclrrIn@
postal dticiIS Ia terms ot the excess If
aJuitCi expenditures over audited row
tnucs uAU have published as lie hrAn
cial statement Of the department the
report Of The auditor Of the post &c
flee department: without taking INTO
account the outstanding obligations Of
the year on which The obligations were
made"
Mr.. BurlcSon docs not intimate u
intentional dishonesty or any deliberate
plan to deludc the public on the part
of the men who adopted this faulty me
thod Of accounting. The fact that ii
was adopted annot well be denied; and
the fact that it is misleading is indiS-
putab.c.
The postmaster grnct Ill appears to
include both The actual and the est
mated expenditures in his report of this
years business. From that report il y
clear that the income has exceeded the
expenses by 4 comfortable margin.
Attention il called to the fact that
revenues derived from the parcrl post
has added heavily 10 the department
receipts
The report contains many items Of in
terest to all patrons of the post Office
and deserves to be read for the yalU
able information if contains.
