nies Claim of Chicago.
XEW YORK, Oet. 2. President Full
tam. of to National League, tonight
announced hi decision on the New
York-Chicago game of September 24.
declaring It a tie.
Mr. Pullman rules that the Chicago
club bad no claim in equity for a for
feited game on September 24. when
Chicago holds that the tie game of the
day previous should have been played
off. The whole dispute comes down
to a question of whether the umpires
should be upheld or not. Mr. Pulliam
declares. In conclusion, he says:
"The playing rules saying the de
cision of the umpire on a question of
fact is final. this whole controversy
hinges on simple question: Was
Merkle forced out at second base?" Urn-plre-ln-Chief
O'Day says he was.
O'Day is no novice and there Is no rea
son to doubt his accuracy in this de
cision. "I rule that this game ended in a
tie score and that for reasons stated
above the Chicago club has no claim
in equity for a forfeited game.
"This ruling Is subject to appeal to
the board of directors, and In that
event a meeting of the board will be
called for Monday, October 5. the hour
and place to be determined later."

SIIERMAX COMPARES XEBRAS
KAX WITH MARTYR.
Says Commoner Would Destroy
Work Done by First Republi
can President for Union.
ROCK ISLAND. 111., Oct. 2. James S.
Sherman, Republican nominee for the
Vice-Presidency, delivered an address
here today. Sir. Sherman said In part:
"I shall not abuse my privilege by im
posing upon your patience or claiming
your attention for more than a brief
period. I am advised that it is permis
sible to speak as a partisan. I am told
that this is Republican day, and my
theme shall be something of a compari
son of the early leader of Republican
thought and action with the present dic
tator of so-called Democratic declara
tions and professed intentions.
"In so far as he has a party behind
him. Mr. Bryan Is the candidate of
those who maligned and ridiculed the
first and greatest President tbet Repub
lican party has given to the Nation. Mr.
Bryan relies for support on the forces
which at every step opposed Lincoln,
which obstructed the measures of war
and peace of that savior of the Union,
and pronounced the proclamation of
emancipation a monstrous crime.
"In his earlier campaigns he counted
most of the states which elected Lin
coln the enemy's country.' He has
never accepted the principles and policies
which .glorified the administration of
that martyred patriot. What proofs can
he offer that he Is a disciple of the
President who struck down slavery, who
signed the Morrill tariff, who stood
steadfastly for protection and made pos
sible the present grandeur of the United
Republic?
"In l'.iOO the states which elected Lin
coln cast all their influence against the
candidate who now reaches for the
strength of that hallowed name.
"Why should any citizen who admires
Lincoln. believes in his teachings,
wishes bis principles and policies per
petuated, tolerate for a moment the
preposterous claims of this self-assertive
candidate? Could two men be more
different than are these"

It with him. He sent -his manager, G.
