"MERKLE" game. BEST
BROWN EVER PITCHED
PLAYERS MOBBED AFTER CLASH

St. Louis, Jan. T.-In a tanning bee
Mordecai Brown was asked to tell the
best game that he ever pitched.
There is one game which stands out
in nv mind above all others. That was
in 1905, when We beat the New York
Giants in the play-off for the National
League pennant. You will remember that
Pfeister started that game and filled the
bases in the first inning. Chance mo-
toned me to go in, and l got out of the
hole with but one run scored against US.
In the third inning We made four runs
off Mathewson. In the seventh inning
the Giants started a rally and made one
run. The game ended with the score
to ..
THE strain Of that game was never
equaled by me. Upon it hinged league
championship and the right and honor
of play in the worlds series. In addition
to this, the feeling in New York was at
such an extreme pitch that We had re-
ceived 'rblack hand letters, which
threatened US with our several lives If
we took the pennant from New York.
.I don't believe / ever was so alarmed
on a diamond as at the conclusion Of
that game, when the crowd at the Polo
Grounds practically mobbed us. Chance
was hit in the neck and could not speak
for several days. Other players were
similarly treated. Luckily / escaped
.I have had other games spoken of as
the best I pitched. but down in my heart
/ know there was only one best and that
was the New York Chicago game in 1908.
which decided the pennant."

LANKFORD FUNERAL
HALTED BY CORONER
New Evidence Failing to Materialize,
Cortege Is Allowed to Proceed
After Two Hours Delay.

New York, Jan. 17.-Coroner Wagner, of
Kings County, at noon today halted the
funeral party that was about to convey
the body of Richard D. Lankford, the
railroad official, who died under mysteri-
GUS circumstances in his apartments, TO
u special train which was waiting TO carry
it to Maryland for burial.
Police Capt. Samuel McElroy refused to
allow the body TO be put upon a special
train, which was waiting at the Long
Island Railroad station, saying that Coo
ner Wagner desired to make further in
VestigatiOn. 1t was learned that a mys-
terious telephone message was received
at the coroners office saying that num-
ber Of letters which might throw light
upon the manner and cause of Mr.. Lank-
ford's death had disappeared from his
Brooklyn apartments.
After delay of a couple of hours
during which Coroner Wagner was prom
ised possession of a letter left by Lank-
ford for Miss Patterson, the cortege was
allowed to proceed and the remains were
placed upon the special funeral train,
which started at once for Maryland.
The coroner got a shock when he
opened Miss Patterson's letter. Instead
of containing anything to throw light
upon the tragedy, the envelope held
only lease for an apartment in which
Mr. Landlord expected to live with his
bride after their marriage. The wedding
ring was found with the envelope. Cor
oner Wagner announced, however that
he would continue his investigation.

President WILL read
HIS MESSAGE TUESDAY
To Appear Before Joint Session Of
Senate and House at l2:O
in Afternoon.
WORK ON DRAFT NOT FINISHED

After comforting with House and
Senate leaders yesterday President
Wilson announced that he would read
his message to a joint session Tuesday
afternoon. at 1890. The President has
not yet closed his mind upon certain
passages in the tentative draft of the
message. which he brought with him
from Pass Christian, Miss, and II
is possible that the document VIII
not be sent to the Government Print
ing Once for printing until Monday.
Members of the Cabinet and other
officials TO whom the President has
read the message believe IT will be ac-
cepted as the ablest Official communi-
cation prepared by him thus far. The
President. it is known, has given much
thought to the choice of words with
which to express his ideas, having in
mind his keen desire that the cumu-
lative effect of every sentence should
be one of moderate firmness.
As has been the case with all OF his
previous messages to Congress, Mr. VII
son regards this as an address 10 ire
country as much as to Congress lie pc
lisyes the sentiment of the public at this
time is decidedly in favor OF the enact
ments, such as the prohibition OF inter-
locking directorates, which he Will rec
cmmend. He intends through this ao-
aress to cement this sentiment, so that
there can be no doubt on the part OF
members of Congress or OF the business
world as to its character.
1t will be his purpose. although IN tenn
of reasspring moderation, TO conVipc3
The business world that the Forthcoming
legislation is demanded by the public and
as such is inevitable, but at the same
time to inspire the belief that the enact
ment of this legislation will remove the
last unsettling element from the business
world and make possible fuller and
fretr development

temerity to count against the Blue.

for the auditor Of the District Supreme
Court, Louis A. Dent, for the four years

year.
The inquiry into Mr.. Dents fees was
made by Examiner T. NJ. McNish. The
report was transmitted by the Solicitor
General, as a result Of a recent request
by the Senate, following q resolution
introduced BY Senator MARITIME. Auditor
Dent himself submitted a report which
stated his income at about 5000 less than

It Is the general opinion that the eight
anchor spaces Of inches each. with the

the game entirely too hard. A player
has not only got to drive the ball out Of
