The Attorney General TO the KeS
cue Of ThaW.

Tho disarrcarance % Nr. Jerome from the
Thaw case has given satisfaction in just one
ogartcr-Tbaw and his friends. They are frank
Nv ela.ed. They feel that with the brains and eH-
Doricncc Of Sir. jerome rubtracted from the
states case the prisoners chances are vastly
improved. That is exactly the opinion Of the peo-
ole Of the state Mr Woodbury. has shown him
self the best friend the Thaw family has yet
gained. Short Of going over TO the Thaw side
and arguing the case for the defence the Attor-
nov General has done his best TO set Harry K
Thaw at liberty
Why should the Attorney General Of the State
~ New York desert his clients, the people, and
90 over 70 the enemy? We confess that we cannot
find much illumination in Mr.. Wood5ury's ex-
PLANTATION -that-doespt-expIain. 1t is to save
money. But if 1rr. Woodbury. should try TO save
money for "a private client i'm any such fool fash
ion he would quickly learn just what is economy
and what is not TO discharge a special counsel
who has Iaaarsl for years on case and brought
it IN 10 final issue just as that issue is about
TO be tried may save q few dollars in fees but it
is about tho most idotc waste Of years Of eK-
penditure that can be conceived.
When You add that the particular issue in hand
is nothing less than the honor of the state, the
question whether its system Of justice has price
which family of millions can pay, you arc talk
ing Of something even more serious than foolish

.FAVORITES PLAY TO
FORM AT tourney
W. M. Hall and George M. Church
Defeated in Tennis at Forest Hills.
Maurice Mclaughlin Wins.

Forest Hills, Long Island, Sept. L.
Maurice Evans Mclaughlin flashed the
best game he has displayed in the East
this year when he defeated Dean
Mathey, the former intercollegiate
champion and member of the team
which represented the East in the
inter-sectional team matches six weeks
ago at the Panama Pacific Exposition
in the second round of the National
championship tennis single here To-Day.
The conqueror of Anthony Wilding
and Norman Brookes failed to play
the smashing net game which brought
him the highest tennis honors, but as
a whole his form was encouraging to
his admirers. He won in straight sets.
6-1, GO, SIS.
With the exceptions of Wallace F.
Johnson's defeat by Walter Merrill
Hall. iormer Middle States champion
and Watson NJ. washburn's victory
over George N. Church, who won the
intercollegiate by defeating r. Morris
Williams last year after the latter had
beaten Mclaughlin for the national
title, the favorites all came through
with victories.
In the morning session Williams de-
feated Frederick c. Inman in straight
sets at rs, 81, 81. Williams was
repeatedly. His showing as a whole
was disappointing and unless he shows
considerable improvement he may be
forced to leave defeated at the hands
of the veteran Hall tomorrow.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 1.-Old Penn

Union Boat Club. as their rowing
coach. though they made him an Of
fer, because Harvard has secured his
services as an assistant coach to Jim
Wray.
The Red and Blue rowing commit
tee visited Haines and put a PROPOSE
ton to him. He was considering IL
when the Union Boat Club decided
that they did not want to lose him.
and they made him a double offer. one
to tutor the Union oarsmen and to be
affiliated with the Harvard rowing
system in the early spring Of every
year. Haines thought over the two
propositions. and he decided TO re-
main with the Union Boat Clob. A
letter notifying the Penn rowing
committee of Haines' decision Is ON
its way to Philadelphia
Vivian Nickalls recommeuded Haiaes
as his successor. It 10 thought here
that Jim iTen-Eyck. jr.. win now get
an offer from Penn. and from his
record as the coach OF the Duluth

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The Yanks wanted yesterdays battle
bad. Smiling Bill sending his best hurler
to the points and even went far enough
to get put Off the coaching lines. silk
sure can use his thumb.
Up to the eighth inning Gandil had
only four put-outs to his credit most OF
the balls going to the outfielders. Plenty
of flies, fans, but not the kind you swat
in the house
Hughie High was a target for the Griff-
men in the eighth inning, all three Of the
batters sending him on a chase for fly
balls. He got them all, too.
The lucky seventh failed to produce
anything for our boys. The best they
could do was to get the ball out of the
infeId, but not past the outfield. They
all Med out.
Doc Ayers pulled himself out of a nice
hole in the tenth inning, when the Yanks
had two men on the bases and none out.
But 1t takes a doctor to make things
right when they look sick.
Shanks went to the third-base pavilion
for Paddy Bauman's foul fly and made a
great catch. taking the ball over his
shoulder while on the run.
Daniel Boone was the fielding demon
OF the day, some of his stops and throws
being remarkable. He made some dan
dies and covered an acre Of ground.
Cube Acosta went to the plate five
times, but was only counted two times
at bat, being given two bases on balls
and he hit sacrifice fly. The other two
times he famed the air and popped to
Bauman.
Slim Caldwell busted the first ball
pitched to him by Ayers for two bases.
He scored. after being advanced to third.
on Bauman's hot one to Shanks.
They say the third base position is
the hot corner. Well. ask Howard
Shanks. Rather warm. rather warm.
Umpire Silk O'Loughlin had his
troubles. many close plays he had to
decide. High made a great string
catch. diving for a line drive Off Nc
Brides bat and coming up with the
ball, but Silk said he picked 1t out Of
the grass.
Boone and Hartzel came very near
doing the impossible. Daniel went back
OF second and scooped grounder up
and tossed to Hartzel with his back
turned. but not In time to get Mcbride
1t was too close to be comfortable.

Deal for Home-run Slugger
Will More Than Likely
Be Closed Today.
OTHER SPORTING GOSSIP
Harper or Johnson to Oppose Shaw
key in the Fourth Game
of Series.

Frank Baker, the Athletics' great
slugger who quit the game of his own
accord last winter. will probably be
sold today to the New York Yankees
and it would not be at all surprising
il he Joined the club at once.
News dispatches from Philadelphia
last nigi-t vouchsafed the informa ton
that Capt Houston, half owner of the
New York club, and President Ban
Johnson, of the American League,
were in conference yesterday with Of
ficials. representing the Philadelphia
club, and that terms had virtually
been agreed upon for the transfer of
Baker to New York for a large cash
considerable
Manager Bill Donovan, of the New
York team. was seen last night and
asked for verification of the report.
He stated that he had heard nothing
officially, but understood that a con-
ference was held in Philadelphia and
that the object of the meeting was to
get Baker for the Yankees.
That the deal will go through today
or in the near future there is little
doubt, for New York Is one of the
teams in the league that needs boil
stering up, and Owners Hueston and
Rupert have the money to spend for
players.
Give the Yankees a pennant con-
tender and every other American
League team will profit thereby inan-
cially. Frank Baker would be a big
drawing card in Gotham and the logi-
cal conclusion is that the Yankees
will get him.
Just where Baker will play IL he Is
bought from the Athletics is hard to say,
but there is a possibility that Maisel will
be placed in centerfeld and the home
run slugger used on third base.
Shelton who has been tried in the out
field does not look to be much Of q, hit
ter although he is a fine fielder and fast.
Bill Donovan yesterday was put off the
coaching lines for the first time this
season when Umpire O'Loughlin chased
him early In the game. Bills repartee
must have penetrated underneath
O'Loughlin's skin.
The Yanks and Nationals meet in the
fourth game of the series this afternoon
and Griffith announces that he will pitch
either Harry Harper of Walter johnson.
Bob Shawkey is slated to twirl for the
New Workers.
