Shibe Park. Philadelphia, Oct. 24.
With J. Franklin Baker once more
starring as chief trouble-maker for
the New York Giants, Connie Mack's
Athletics today made It three to one
In the world's championship series
over the National lea'gue leaders.
The score was 4 to 2. The Athletics
batted Mathewson all over the lot.
He was yanked In the eighth, and
Wiltz went In as a forlorne hope. It
proved forlorne. With two runs In
the first inning, following a triple by
Doyle, it looked dark for the Mac
men until the fourth. Then Baker
started the woe for New York. A
hot double from his bat to left was
followed by a double from Murphy,
and Troublesome Baker came home.
Then Davis doubled, and Murphy
romped in, and the 'Old Man" nosed
over the plate on a sacrifice fly by
Thomas, and the Giants never again
had a real chance.
Just to make It good, Baker stung
the ball again for two sacks In the
last half of the sixth, scoring Col
lins, who had led off with a single.
In the Giant's half of the sixth
Doyle pulled off the prize bonehead
play of the series. Barry fooled him
by pretending to catch a grounder,
which went to Baker, and Doyle was
caught 30 feet off first. Throughout
the whole game the once invincible
Matty was In trouble. He had sever
al narrow squeaks. In the eighth his
string was played out, and Becker
went in to bat for him. He failed to
deliver. Then Wlltz went on the
mound for the Giants, and kept the
score from gettin g any larger, al
though the play against him was the
most ragged of the game. Bender,
after his first disastrous inning,
pitched steady ball throughout.
Philadelphia, Oct. 24. With the
sun beating down on a still soggy
outfield but with the infield In fair
condition, the fourth struggle be
tween the Athletics and Giants
opened here today. It was long past
1 o'clock before the bleachers were
filled. Frank Baker received an ova
tion when he appeared. He respond
ed by stepping to the plate during
batting practice and knocking the
first ball pitched over the right field
fence.
The Giants seemed cocksure of
victory. Indications were that the
attendance would be 20,000.

CASE DRAGS
TEDIOUSLY
Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Oct.
24. The confession of Ortie E. Mc
Manigal, implicating James B. Mc
Namara in the evxplosion that de
stroyed the building of the Los An
geles Times on October 1, '1910, and
the report of the experts appointed
by Mayor Alexander, who found that
the' Times was destroyed by dynamite
went into the record in the McNa
mara murder trial today.
Newspaper copies used by th e de
fense In interrogating veniremen for
the purpose of determining McNa
mara's guilt or innocence were Intro
duced by Clarence Darrow, chief
counsel for the defense, and ordered
copied Into the record. They will be
used hereafter In interrogating ve
niremen regarding how they formed
their opinions and their strength.
District Attorney Fredericks said
he had no objection, but was not pre
pared to admit that th e McManigai
affair was an "authentic confession"
and therefore referred to it as a pur
Ported confession.
The morning session was devoid of
sensation, two veniremen being quick
ly eliminated and the third exam
ined, F. J. Mullln, being challenged
for cause by the defense, after he had
stated that he beloved McNamara
guilty, but would, If chosen as a
Juror, set aside that opinion. He had
also admitted believing General Otis
deserved great credit for keeping
down unionism In Los Angeles. The
state resisted the challenge, however,
and a wearisome discussion followed.
Judge Bordwell finally personal! In
terrogated Mullln. Mullln was still
under examination when luncheon
recess was ordered.

Famous Court May Go.
Denver, Oct. 2. The fate
of Judge Ben B. Lindsey's
famed Juvenile court is still In
doubt, as a result of the United
States Bupreme court's refusal
to take jurisdiction in the case
Involving the city and county
of Denver, and endless lltlga-
tlon is predicted.
Judge Lindsey said today
that the juvenile court is a state.
not a county office, and that It
cannot be abolished save by
action of the legislature. The
county authorities, however,
contend it Is a county office, and
is affected by the decision of
the Colorado supreme court up-
holding the consolidation, which
resulted In the abolition of many
county offices.

GOVERNOR
REFUSED TO
INTERFERE
Accepting the interpretation of the
law as advanced by Frank S. Grant,
city attorney of Portland, and at the
same time advising him that his de
cision would take a weight from his
shoulders, Governor West today sent
a letter to Municipal Judge Tazewell,
of Portland, advising him that In the
future, save In ' extraordinary cases,
he would not Interfere In the way of
pardons.
John Dick, of Portland, had been
sentenced by municipal court of Port
land to serve a sentence on the rock
pile. Rev,. H. JIopp appealed In his
behalf and It was this that prompted
the governor to write the letter.
Tire governor says:
"I acknowledge receipt of yours of
October 20th, enclosing letter from
Reverend John H. Hopp In behalf of
John Dick, now serving a sentence on
the city rock pile.
"I have had my attention called to
an opinion rendered by the city at
torney of Portland, Mr. Frank S.
Grant, In which it Is held by Mr.
Grant that the governor of Oregon
has no authority under the law In
terfere with the sentence of the
municipal court- In other words, as
I understand It, the opinion of Mr.
Grant contends that where any man
or woman Is convicted of the viola
tion of a municipal ordinance and
pursuant to that conviction is sen-
jtenced by the municipal court to pny
a nne or serve in the county Jail,
that the pardoning power, If such
there he, resides In the city council
or In the mayor or other officer who
may be designated by the charter of
that city to exercise the pardoning
power. As a consequence of this
contention Mr. Grant holds thnt the
city council or mnyor of Portland
possess the power to pardon munici
pal offenders, and thnt the governor
of Oregon has no Jurisdiction.
"It Is not my desire to Interfere In
any way with the administration of
Portland's affairs, and I therefore,
without venturing an opinion as to
the soundness of Mr. Grant's conten
tion, have decided to nccept his In
terpretation of tho law Insofar as I
may deem consistent with my duties
as governor. The appeals for execu
t'.e clemency which In the past have
been filed In this office from the city
of Portland have required much time
and Investigation, and is a labor
which I am pleased to pass Into oth
er hands better qualified by place and
rircunistanre to give each individual
case careful consideration. Accord
ingly I have decided to leave this
question In the hands of the muni
cipal authorities of Portland, unless
some extraordinary case Is submit
ted to me for my action.
"Therefore, I would suggest that
you take up the question of the John
Dick pardon with City Attorney
Grant, or such authorities. In Port
land as you deem proper. In order
that the matter may be handled in
accordance with Mr. Grant's Inter
pretatlon of the law."
.lust Exceptional dixex.
It will be observed from the letter
that hereafter the governor does not
Intend to exercise the pardoning
power in crlmlnfi cases In the iniinl
iial court of Portland, save in ex
traordinary cases. F.ver since nn
iti irilnir the office of governor, he has
een burdened with appeals for nur
dons In caes arising In the mimlcl
oal court of the City of Rncs.
Grant's Interpretation of the law re
lieves 1,1m from the duty, and the
governor without a moment's lieidta
tlon. accepted It.
