TESREAU FAR FROM RIGHT
Giants' Star . Twirler Regrets In
. ability of Teammate to Make Bet
ter Showing Against Victorious
Athletics In 8-2 Game.
' BT CHRISTY MATHEWSON.
(Copyright. 1913. by the Wheeler Syndi
cate, -Inc.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 9. (Specials
There is no use talking: about the
"breaks" in that same today. The
Athletics just took the old wallop at
the ball and there was little inside
stuff or strategy tried.
The Athletics got the Jump on the
Giants and kept ahead nf us all the
way. "We have played maybe a dozen
games like It in this past season and
some of these were against St Louis.
We just could not hit, and any club
looks bad when it cannot hit.
The two men who beat us were Bush
and "Eddie" Collins. Collins has been
playing terrific ball In this series and
his great work has been largely re
. sponsible for the Athletics' victory.
Defeat by Bn.k Horta.
Our defeat by Bush was a great dis
appointment because we had figured
on beating him since he is a youngster
and was working away from home.
But be got a fine break In the first
inning when the Athletics put three
runs under him before he ever had to
show in the box. ' This gave him a lot
of needed confidence in himself and
even at that he was Inclined to be
nervous when he 'first went to work.
The "break" of the game in my mind,
ame on a little play that probably
many of the fans in the stands over
looked. It occurred in the first Inning
and resulted in two runs for the Ath
letics. Fletcher threw out Murphy to
begln-j the game, but Oldrlng got a
Bingle. when he smashed a. slow ball
that Tesreau fed him, over second base
for a lit. Collins followed him with
a single and Oldrlng reached third.
Shafer did not play the ball to the bag
to try to stop Oldring.
Baker; the next man, singled, scor
ing Oldring easily, but Collins was
held on second base. Then followed
a daring play and one which we did
not expect at that stage of the game.
Collins and Baker attempted the dou
ble steal and got away with it because
McLean fumbled' the ball momentarily
and could not make the throw.
Little Fumble Fatal.
The little fumble, gave the Athletics
the jump which they held clear through
to the finish. Tesreau steadied up and
struck out Mclnnes, but Strunk
jammed a tough one at Fletcher. He
stopped the ball, playing deep, but had
a hard throw to make to first base to
retire the side and prevent the scoring
of two runs. He also realized that a
fast man was running down to first
base. Strunk being one of the fleetest
of the Athletics, and he hurried the
play. The result was that the ball went
ever Merkle's head and to the stand.
Both runs scored. j
Now, if that double steal had not
been made there would have been a
man on first base and Fletcher would
not have had to make that long throw
but would have had a force play right
In front of him at second base. In that
event we would have retired the side
with only one run scored or it we had
stopped Collins at third on the double
steal they would have scored only one
run, because Mclnnes would have been
the last out. Therefore, on that little
fumble by McLean hinges the whole
game, I think.
Bush in the box there with a lead of
only one run would have probably been
nervous, as he is young and is going
through his first season in fast com
pany. We could have worked on him
then. As It was with a lead of three
runs he could afford to have some con
fidence In himself. The first inning
was the time we should have gotten
him before, he had i chance to settle
down.
Tesreau Kot Right.
Tesreau was not right and did not
work the Philadelphia batters well.
Let me say that they are a tough gang
to work any time and there Is not a
chance of passing a man on the team
because the next bird is generally as
hard to pitch to. Tesreau had a good
deal of speed and stuff, but he seemed
to get the ball over too good for the
Athletics. They did not have the trou
ble with hlra that I expected, and his
spit ball did not seem to fool them at
all. I was talking to Baker toward
the end of the game.
"Tesreau looked pretty good when
he started In there today," remarked
the producer of home runs.
"What would you fellows have done
to him If he had looked rotten?" I
asked him.
"Oh, well," -he said, "you must re
member we hare got a lot of good
batters on our club."
Bosk "Is Great Pitcher."
Little Bush deserves a lot of credit.

militant incendiaries that under' the
"cat and mouse" act they were assured
speedy "release from prison by hunger

NEW YORK, Oct. 9. The Athletics

as to his selection of a pitcher

"They all look good to me." he said.
"That was a great gams today," he
added. "I have high hopes of winning

MARSHALL ACCUSES FOES
Prosecution Holds Evidence Shows
Unfitness Defense Pleads No
Law Was Violated Busi
ness Ability Poor.
ALBANY, Oct 9. Fifty thousand
words of legal argument scathing de
nunciation of Governor Sulxer on the
one side and of his accusers on the
other delivered today by opposing
counsel, brought a verdict in the trial
of the impeached Executive one day
nearer.
Another day will be occupied sim
ilarly tomorrow, at the end of which
time the high court will go Into execu
tive session, it Is expected, to deter
mine procedure in deciding the guilt
or Innocence of the accused Governor.
The court probably will adjourn then
until Tuesday. There Is some talk to
night, however, of taking a vote Satur
day. Marshall and Parker Talk.
Louis Marshall for the defense, and
Alton B. Parker for the Assembly man
agers occupied the session of the court
today, Marshall impeaching the mo
tives of those who brought the charges
against the Governor as based on "pas
sion and caprice," and Parker denounc
ing the Governor as one "whom the
uncontradicted proofs which have been
spread upon this record" showed was
no longer fit to be the Chief Executive
of the state and for whom it was "ab
solutely Impossible ever to regain the
confidence of the people."
The Governor knew, 'Judge Parker
said, that when he signed the state
ment of campaign contributions placed
before him by his secretary, Louis A.
Sarecky, "that the statement was un
true." "The man who read that list and ex
amined it," said the attorney, "knew it
was not true. It does not help htm
for the boy, Sarecky. to say be did
the best he could. His master, William
Sulzer, knew it was a lie."
. Peck's Story Denounced.
Louis Marshall devoted several
scathing pages of his address to tho
testimony of Duncan W. Peck, super
intendent of public schools, who swore
that Governor Sulzer had asked him
to deny under oath that he had given
him a $500 contribution. Marshall de
clared that his story was a "brazen
counterfeit," and accused Peck of
having a strong motive for so testi
fying because John A. Honnessy, the
Governor's special Investigator, had
unearthed "irregularities of a serious
nature" in Peck's department. He said
that Peck's testimony would "enable
him to aid In the destruction of the
man who had sot in motion the inves
tigation which threatened not only the
office he held but his very liberty."
This evoked a statement from Peck
tonight In which he characterized
Marshall's attack upon him as a "lie
told for pay."
Judge Parker did not finish his ad
dress today.
Campaign Cost Reviewed.
That the Governor swore falsely to
a campaign statement there was no
doubt, the attorney said. In sp;aking
of article 1 of the Impeachment. He
read Into the record the first complete
statement of Sulzer's financial trans
actions during the campaign. It fol-
we: Contributions not reported, $40,-
400; cash paid to brokers, $40,362.50;
contributions delivered to SuUcr, $2!'.-
300; cash deposited by Sulzer in bank,
$14,400; checks Indorsed by Sulzer,
$3200.
In discussing article 6. the "larceny
charge. Judge Parker reviewed the his
tory of all the concealed contributions
and sought to show that their donors
contributed in the belief that they
were aiding Sulzer, the candidate.
Fraud was committed in obtaining
money under false pretenses, arguud
the Judge, and that constituted larceny.
Most of Mr. Marsnall's address cen
tered about the "money articles" In the
lmDeachment charges charging larceny.
Of the different charges Mr. Marshall
said:
The corrupt practices act does not
make necessary the publication of cam
paign funds received, but only those
expended. Therefore the Governor in
failing to note all of his receipts vio
lated no law.
Perjury Charge Denied.
"No perjury was committed by him In
swearing to the inaccurate campaign
expense statement bocause the corrupt
practices act does not require an affi
davit. The action of the Governor was
voluntary.
"Richard Croker, Jr.. Henry L. Mor
genthau. Jacob Schiff, Daniel M. Brady,
Dr. John W. Cox and others placed no
limitations on the use of their con
tributions. There was a hopo, expec
tation or desire among the donors that
the moneys be used In connection with
the campaign, but none had the re
motest idea that ho ever would get a
dollar back.". .
