UNITED PBESS LEASED WIRK.l Polo Grounds, N. Y. Oct. 23. Fighting desperately to the last min ute, the New York Giants today plucked victory from defeat, and pre vented the world's champion Athlet ics fro,m grabbing the title. The score was 4 to 3. The final run came In the last half of the tenth inning. Doyle, the Giants' second base man, was the hitting sensation of the day. After getting three hits in the earlier part of the game, he doubled when he was first man up In the tenth. Then Snodgrass, who had shown nothing in the series, bunted and Doyle took third. Murray then filed to to Murphy, but Doyle "was held so close to third that he could not score on the fly. Another fly by Merkle to Murphy was long enough, and Doyle raced over a winning run. Five pitchers in all were used in the game. Marquard, the Giants' prize beauty, lasted only three Innings. He got h!s when Oldrlng rapped out a home run scoring Lapp and Coombs. New York, Oct. 23.

ALOERTS DEFENDS THE CHARTER VD INCIDENTALLY ROASTS SOME FAULT FINDERS FOR NOT MAKING THEIR SUGGESTIONS Mil EN THEY MERE CALLED FOR. "Shall the present form or method of government in the city of Salem Oregon, be changed to what is com monly known as the commission form of city government? "Vote Yes or No. "100 Yes. "101 No." The above is the only ballot which you can vote at the charter election tomorrow. You must vote yes or no whether you will have the commis sion form of government. The provisions of the charter pro viding for the change are not open for amendment, for adoption or for rejection. This question was pending some three months before the committee ap pointed by the city council, the Board of Trade and the Business Men's League and after consulting with the citizens of Salem and inviting them to be present at their discus sions and to express their views upon the provisions of the charter they, to the best of their ability, prepared the charter to meet present require ments. All the present ordinances of the city are left in full force and effect excepting only those which may con flict with the provisions of the new charter. Only such changes have been made In the old charter as will adapt It to the new form of govern ment. Attempts are being made to befog the issue by criticism of the details of the new charter by those who did not take Interest enough in the mat ter when it was pending to present their views. The principal opposi tion of this character has come from a distinguished citizen who after having been guilty of laches every day of the months' during which the preparation of framing the charter was pending has stepped down from his high bench and Insists that the charter be amended so as to conform to his views in certain of It8 phases, rather than those of the committee of nine after consultation with tho peo ple and careful consideration by them. He knows of course that no amendment can now be made and the criticism Is made for the purpose of defeating the main question. The objections urged by him are mostly Immaterial and many of them frivo lous. However If he be in earnest In his desire to have the charter amend ed, he should prepare such amend ments and Introduce them by the Ini tiative under the provisions of Ordi nance No. 818 under which the pres ent charter Is introduced and let the people decide whether they want the amendments at the regular city elec tion in December, when if this char ter be adopted, the election of offi cers under it will be held, thus ac tion can be had upon these amend ments before the new charter goes into effect and the people will be en- ; abled to express their opinion as to the merits or tne amendments witn out Involving or imperiling the char ter. Let us not forget that the only ' question to be decided at this elec- "on is: I "Shall the present form or method or government in uie cny oi .-uiem, ! Orenon. be changed to what Is com monly known as the commission form of city government?" JOHN H. ALBERT. IVrerked His Aeroplane. . Icsitco k'icsa UASxa Spofford Tex., Oct. 25. Aviator C I P.

FIREMENS BENEFIT AT YE LIBERTY SCHEME TO RAISE MONEY TO IMPROVE FIREMAN'S QUARTERS Tomorrow (Thursday evening at "Ye Liberty" will occur a monster program, the proceeds of which will be used to Improve the living quar ters of the East Salem first station. These quarters at present are any thing but home like, and as the city Is expending large sums of money to better the (Ire lighting equipment, the city fathers do not feci that much money can be spent to better the men's quarters, though they have promised to have the wall pa pered. Hence it fulls on the boys to procure suitable coverings for the floors. An arrangement has been made with one of the local house furnishing companies to furnish the covering at cost, and the newspapers of the city donate all the advertising. So all the money above the actual cost will be applied toward the pur chase of the carpeting. The boys will appreciate your presence at Ye Liberty tomorrow evening.
