SULZER MORALLY
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 10. "Mor
ally and mentally unfit to bold of
fice," was JudRO Alton Brooks Pork
er's characterization of Governor
William Sulzcr In bis speech for tho
prosecution before tho impeachment
court hero today.
Though tho governor did not tako
tho stand because ha did not wish to
involvo his wlfo's name in tho case.
Judgo Parker denounced him for
having given the impression that it
was sho and not ho who used the
contributions to his gubernatorial
fund in stock market speculation,
fnlrly flaying him for "hiding bo
hlnd a woman's skirts."
Attorney D. Cady Herrlck, In Snl
zer's derenso, was qulto as forcible
as Parker. He know, ho said, that
tho court was unfriendly to tho gov
ernor but ho demanded that Its mem
bors respect their oaths and decido
tho case on its merits.
As for the Justices of tho court ot
appeals, who, with the stato sena
tors, mako up tho impeachment court,
Herrlck declared that they them
solves wero on trial beforo tho peo
plo, and Intimated that a verdict u-n
friendly to Sulzcr would hasten tho
recall of the judiciary and ot judl
cial decisions.
Attornoy Brackett, of tho prosecu
tion, spoko along lines similar to
thoso Judgo Parker followed.
A verdict was looked for Monday.

Oct. 10. Connlo Mack's Athlotlca
put another clincher on their hop
for the 1913 world's championship
todajr. They won their third victory
from the Giants by a score of 0 to 5.
At a result, tho Giants will be forced
to take two In a row in order to tie
up the series, and must do the scorn
ingly Imposslblo stunt by landing
three in a row if they take the cham
pionship. McGraw was unablo to duplicate
Mack's stunt of yesterday by making
good with a young twirler. Demaree,
sent to the mound by McGraw, was
aa, easy victim of tho Athletic wil
low wlelders and was chased from
the mound at tho end ot the fourth

up for seven hits, good for four
runs. Marquard who succeeded him
was also a victim ot the Athletic on

Ending tho seventh Inning with
but two lono singles to their credit
against tho slab work of Bonder, tho
Giants solved tho Indian's delivory.
Aftor Burns and Murray had landed
on tho sacks via the single route,
Merkle, the hoodoo Giant flrstsacker,
slammed a long hit Into deep left,
which bounded into the bleachers for
a homerun, tho Giants' first round up
slam of tho series.
In the eight, with their confidence
rostorcd and knowledge that Bender
was weakening, the top of tho Giant
batting order went after tho Chip
pewa. Herzog connected for a stnglo
his first safo hit ot tho series. Bon
der steadied and Doylo forced Her
