snrance of Herzog, as Giants,
Facing Defeat, Make Valiant
and Triumphant Stand.
BT CHRISTY MATHEWSON.
(Copyright. 1013. by the Wheeler Syndi
cate, Inc.)
PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Oct. 8. (Spe
cial.) That game today wa the
toughest and most satisfactory that I
have ever been through. The Giants
fought their way to a victory after
the other team was so sure It had won
that the players began to pick up
their sweaters and pack up the bats.
The whole thing was changed In the
wink of an eye. The contest revolved
around the decision at the plate on
Strunk. Connolly made it. Connolly Is
an American League umpire and it
was a great boost for the honesty of
umpires. " He did It In the face of a
home crowd- which was rooting Its
throat sore for the Athletics.
Clubs Going Desperately.
The ninth was the termination of a
terrific battle. Plank and I had been
fighting to get the edge, and both
clubs had been going gamely and des
perately behind us.' Time and time
again I was saved by the dazzling sup
port of my fielders.
Plank and I had been putting every
thing we had on the ball in the open
ing Innings. As the game went along
without a score, these efforts began
to tell and we did not have so much
stuff, either one of us. Bverybody
knew that the scoring of one run in
the latter Innings would mean the
"break." and, the game. The Giants
failed to cross the plate In their share
of the ninth.
Two Men On, None Out.
Our chances looked bad in the ninth
after Strunk had led off with a single
and Barry's bunt got away from me.
When Wiltse lost the throw on this
ball and It rolled to the stand, there
were men on second and third bases
and no one out. We were In desperate
straits. A momentary fumble, any
thing of the nature of a slip, would
send the winning run across the plate,
and we would be two games down on
the series.
Not a man on the New Tork club lost
heart. They were all fighting, Her-
zog, Fletcher, Doyle and Wiltse gather
ing around me in the box.
"We'll cut them off yet. Matty." said
Herzog. who had been fighting all
through the game with plenty of pep
per.
"Pitch your arm off," urged George
Wiltse, who was playing first base
for the first time In his life In an im
portant game.
Repntaitlon and Game at Stake.
Lapp was at the bat and a dangerous
hitter. The hush which had hung over
the stands all the afternoon, was not
perceptible now. The crowd seemed to
be talking and buzzing and preparing
to leave as if It was all over. I was
pitching for my reputation and that
game. The boys were fighting behind
me to give New Tork and McGraw a
world's championship. The loss of
that game would reduce .our chances
to the merest shadow.
Lapp hit one at Wiltse, a mean
bounder. I gulped, but George got
the ball and shot It back to the plate
to nail Strunk. a fast man, coming in.
Derision Close, Vital.
It was the only play. Strunk made
his slide and McLean dabbed at him
with the ball, tagging him. From
where I was in the pitchers' box, I
could not tell whether Strunk had
slid across the plate ahead of the ball.
It looked like a toss-up decision, one
that could be called either way with
only one man, McLean, knowing
whether it had been called right. It
was up to an American League umpire
and safe meant an American League
victory. I gulped again and thought
It was all over.
"You're out," declared Connolly.
Even then, I thought he had missed it.
It seemed to me as If Strunk had got
ten over the plate. From that minute
I thought we would win the game. I
bad been working so long In world's
series contests without any of the
"breaks" that I figured my luck would
change, and it did.
Wiltse Cats Off Barry.
That play decided the game. Wiltse
cut off Barry at the plate for the
next out and I threw out Murphy at
first for the last. As I walked to the
bench, "Stuffy" Mclnnes passed me.
"That looked like a bad one Con
nolly pulled," said Mclnnes.
"I was not sure myself for a minute,"
I replied.
But Connolly had- called the play
honestly as he saw It and right. I
asked McLean about it as soon as I got
to the bench. He was over It and
would know.
"Did you have him, Larry?" said I.
Decision Right," Says McLean.
"He was blocked off two or three

Secretary's Adventure in Burning
Sun on Florida Acres Told by
Friend Who AVas There.
NEW TORK, Oct. 8. (Special.) Dr.
H. A. Lawton. who is a neighbor of
Secretary Bryan when the Secretary is
Wintering on the Florida coast, ar
rived here with a tale of how Colonel
Bryan set out to clear up hts Florida
estate last Winter.
"Tou see," said Dr. Lawton, the
Colonel's land adjoins that of the Pros
ecuting Attorney of Dade County, Mr.
Billlngslea. A lot of that ground down
there is covered with what is about the
same as a jungle. One day Colonel
Bryan announced he was going to
clear his land himself and bought a
brand new ax and hatchet to do the
job with. Mr. Billlngslea and I called
for him with my car one morning)
"We found him dressed for the work
in a checkered gingham suit no collar
and a straw hat, and we set him down
where he wanted to get out.
"When we called for him In the
evening the Colonel stood waiting for
us. Not only from the condition of
his shirt was It apparent that he had
been working on that broiling hot day.
but a respectable mass of forest had
disappeared. It astonished me to think
a man could cut down so many tough
trees in one day, even with a new ax."
"Billlngslea looked about in a sort
of amazed fashion. 'You have done
well, Colonel,' he said, 'and I thank
you, sir. for beginning on my land.'
" Why, what do you meanT demand
ed Mr. Bryan.
Tou haven't reached your land
yet, explained Billlngslea. 'You have
been working all day on mine.' "

MEXICO CITY, Oct 8. Private dis

there was a slaughter of 175 Spaniards
In the city. The dispatches came from
Madecla, midway between Montello and
Saltillo. ,
Reports tonight say the slaughter
would approach the horror of the mas
sacre of Chinese in the same city In
the Madero revolution of 1910.
Refugees who have communicated
with the rebels in that district declare
that it had been a common boast that
they would slaughter the- Spaniards if
they succeeded in capturing the town.
The Spanish Minister to Mexico, Senor

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGiO,
Corvallis, Oct. 8. (Special.) Breaking
the world's egg-laying record hen No.
C543, of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege poultry department was yester
day given the title of "the greatest
hen in the world." The fowl today laid
her 284th egg within a year. This is
two better than the former world's
record and three better- than the United
States' record.
The world's record w?.s made by a
hen at the Ontario Agricultural Col
lege In 1911 and the record for the
United States was made by Lady Show
Me, of the Missouri State Poultry Sta
tion, several months ago.
The local bird has six days to go yet
before her year will be up and may
bring her record to 290. She was
hatched on April 29, 1912. and began
laying five and one-half months later.
Her dam was a cross-bred Barred
Plymouth Rock and White Leghorn
and her sire was a sen of her dam and
a White Leghorn.
Professor Dryden, who is In charge
of the department ascribes the record
to the breeding of the hen, the consti
tutional vigor, which he said undoubt
edly came from crossing, and to good
feeding and housing.

THE DALLES, Or.. Oct S (Spe
cial.) The Dalles was dressed up In
her best Wild West and Sunday clothes
to welcome the guests who came to at
tend the opening of the Fair and
Rodeo, which will continue for the next
three days. There were also a couple
of bands to lend hilarity to the occa
sion, while the side Btreets and alloys
are covered with tents, in which one
can witness almost any sort of per
formance usually to be seen on carni
val occasions.
There also Is tho fat boy. the bearded
lady and Bedouin fortune tellers with
Irish accent as well as tho Ferris
wheels, merry-go-rounds and the
colored citizen who dodges the balls
thrown at him. with all sorts of simi
lar catch-penny but amusing entertain
ments and entertainers.
Paraders In Cowboy Attire.
There was a parade this morning
which was led by President Kelly, of
the fair association, and Judd Fish,
the secretary. They were dressed in
full cowboy attire, mounted on real
horses and rode like professionals to
the special delight of the small boys
and the women.
More than 100 near-cowboys and
cowgirls were In line. They were
headed by John Spain, who Is really
In charge of the visiting professionals;
those who will show us how broncho-
busting, steer-roping and Duuaoggins
is done at its best A band, automo
biles, buggies, etc.. followed. In all
It was rather an Imposing parade.
Shortly after noon everybody who
could get away went out to the fair
grounds. Like myself, the most of them
passed some time in looking over the
agricultural and school exhibits in the
pavilion, particularly at the fruits, of
which there were enough of fine Qual
ity to make a splendid exhibit In any
country.
Corn Display Impresses.
What attracted the most attention
was the splendid showing made of
field corn. Indeed, any corn country
in the Mississippi Valley might well
feel proud of the corn display made
here at this time. It must be remem
bered that the corn industry Is new
here. It was a hard task for the O.-W.
R. & N. officials to make the people
of this and other sections along the
lines of the road believe that this Is a
corn country. I think the officials of
that road gave away 10.000 small sacks
of seed corn before people would be
lieve they were In earnest
R. B. Miller Is one to whom we espe
cially owe much for what the company
has done. He was the general freight
agent at that time, I think, and is now
the traffic manager. Mr. O'Brien was
also greatly Interested In the move
ment, as was Mr. McMurray, the pas
senger agent and then Farmer Smith
was secured to sort of clinch the argu
ment and sum up the case.
Corn Prospect Is Promising.
Now at fairs llko this, and the State
Fair, we can seo whut the O.-W. R. at
N. officials havo accomplished for us
and we are Just st the beginning of
the corn era, but the prospect Is glori
ous and brightening every duy.
' As to the Ilodeo, the weather was
Inauspicious and the attendnnco poor.
On the other hand, the sport was good,
exceedingly good. The races and buck
ing contests were good, both the riders
and tho ridden acting their parts well,
and tho grounds are well adapted to
the performances. All that Is needed
for The Dalles to have three days of
splendid amusement Is good weather.
Tonight every Indication is for fine
weather. If that turns out to be the
case The Dalles Rodeo will go down
In history as a success, even In attend
ance. The officials do not expect
crowds of 20,000 or 30,000, but they do
expect a fourth of these figures and
will have that number In attendance If
J. Pluvlus treats us square.
Time From Portland Short.
Remember, It Is a splendid ride over
the C-W. It & N. along the river to
The Dalles. It Is only a little more
than two hours from Portland here, the
train service Is superior, the fare a
mere trifle.
Nearly 100 of tho best talent in the
Wild West line are here, headed by
John Spain, who has no peer among
riders in the West. So If you wish to
see a show worth while, come along
to the last ono of the season, which
will be one of the best
