New York, Oct. G. Tho victory
of tho Giants today, In taking tho
second game from Hoston, has set
tho fans hero wild. Thoy nro confl
dont that) Now York will repent tho
porformnnco tomorrow, and then win
tho plny-off from tho Cuba nnd cap
turo tho ponnnnt. Baseball froncy
hns novor run ao high horo In tho his
tory of tho gnmo.
If it should rnlu tomorrow or
wonthor condition make It Impos
sible to piny, tho namo wo-ild bo lost
I to tho Qlnnts, nnd thoro Is littlo
! rfniiif Hint Hin wnnHm. tiimt wnnlrl
bo mobbed.
Even If tho Giants loso two and
beats tho Cubs in tho plny-off, the
triple tie botweon Chicago, Now York
and Pittsburg will result, and thoro
nro somo fan who lovo tho sport
well enough to- hope that tho great
ntne-gnmo sorles botweon tho threo
teams will have to bo played.
Cincinnati, O., Oct G. Tho board
of directors of tho National Loague
today decided that tho disputed Now
York-Ch'cago game was n tie, and
uphold tho decisions of tho umpires.
This in on in that tho gumo must bo
played over on the Now York
grounds, If tho New Yorks so desire.
1IAIIY HORN
DURING OAMB
Ch'cngo, III. Oct. G. The young
est baseball fan on record attended
tho closing game of tho senon be
tween the Cubs nnd the Pittsburg
Pirates Sunday. Ho wns born In tho
grandstand at the crucial momont of
tho gamo, and hh faint yell Joined
that of other thousands ns Pitcher
Mordecal Brown made the hit that
brought In tho winning run for Chi
cago. Tho mother vnnd child wore taken
from the stand during tho excite
ment of the game, nnd tho mannger
of the Cubs Is seeking tho Infant for
a mascot.
Cincinnati, O., Oct. G. Tho de
cision of the board of directors of
the National Lenguo that the disput
ed New York-Chicago game was a
tlo, today makes It postlble for New
York to lose one of the present series
with Boston, nnd still win tho pen
nant. If the Giants win all tho game--with
Boston, they will be tied with
the Cubs.
New York will be called on to play
off the tie came If the Giants lose
ono game to Boston, and then beat
the Culr In playing off the tip. New
York. Chicago and Pltteburg will be
tied for first place.
In the event of a triple tie a nine
game series between the thre tarns
probably w'll b held to deterislae the
winner of the peasaat.

Snn Francisco, Oct. G. "Go out

This Is tho messngo Hint President

dny to tho Trnns-Mlsslssippl Coni
morclnl Congross horo. Mr. Whoolur
nrrlved this morning ns tho personal
ropro8ontnt!vo of tho President. 1
Ho will plco tho nttltudo of thj)
President squaroly before tho tlclcj
gates, who nro confronted with the
fact Hint stockmen of tho West nrb
nggrloved nt tho curtllmont of grac
ing lands and nro claiming that the
fnco ruin through discrimination In
fvor of ngrlculturlsts.
Thosn complaints hnVo reached
Roosovolt, and his personal ropro)
aentutlvo has boon Instructed In nd
doubtful tonus to Inform tho dolo
mitna flint lintll ulilni limsf hnvn mn!
Bldoratlou. '
Explnlnlng tho Pronlilont's nttl
iuuo, tvnuaiur luuuy sniu:
"Mr. Roosovelt's Idea, ns In fact
tho Idcn of nil tho dclogatca to tho
j congress, Is tht ono of two propoil-
iioiia must bo nccoptcd ns best for
tho good of tho ciiuso. Speakors will
vto with ono another In hurling tho
mosj. aweotly scontod bouquets oc
olso thoro mny Uo forums In which
ovory man may speak his mind with
porfoct froedom whethor It bo hoavy
with roal or fancied troublos, or trnn
qull nnd content with tho adminis
tration ns It stands. (11
"And this by no means must bo
understood as holng nn Intlmntton
thnt tho President nbsumes that tho
P'toitnnti nro In tho right. It Is
Hlmply tho old prlnclplo of fair play.
Lot tho fight bo mndo nnd tho deserv
ing wlp. That Is Mr. Roosovolt's
Idea.
"In a congross so catholic as thla
thero can bo but littlo question that
tho majority will bo right In ovory
enso. And It makos no who Is 1irt
by tho rolling. This Idon that tho o
purely non-partisan organizations
must rofraln from doing nny work
thnt amounts to anything because the
corns of tho ndmlnlstratlon may be
stepned on In the evolution of tho
good work Is puerllo.
"It would bo n snd commentary on
tho spirit which Imhuos tho bends of
all tho dopartmonts of tho govorn
rtiont today to admit for n momont
thnt It Is anything loss thnn a spirit
urging those chiefs to do the most
good for tho groatest number all tho
t'mo, If mistakes have been mndo,
f tho protests of any section or any
Sioup of Individuals aro well found
ad, I nm empowered, both by tho
President nnd my knowledge of the
fncts to say that no one wants to
know It more quickly than tho ad
ministration. The matter of Irriga
tion and forostry Is too entirely a
thing apart from politics to allow the
nrocodurn Indulpfd In bo often whore
other matters are Involved to be fol
lowed for moment
"Let no consideration weigh
against n full, fair hearing of tho
nrote3ts that may be made. That Id
what Mr. Roosevelt desires That Is
what every falr-mlndPd delegate moil
wishes, on which over side of tho
fonro ho is on whatever qMestlon."
