THE NEW YORK TDiES. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1003. BLUNDER COSTS GIANTS VICTORY Merkle Rushes Off Base Line Before Winning Run Is Scored, and Is Declared Out CONFUSION ON BALL HELD Chance Asserts That McCor-mick's Run Does Not Count Crowd Breaks Up Came.

UMPIRE DECLARES IT A TIE Singular Occurrence on Polo Ground Reported to President Pulllam, Who Will Decide Case. Censurable stupidity on the pert of player Merkle In yesterday's gam at the Polo Grounds between the Giants and Chlcagog placed the New York team's chances of winning the pennant In Jeoper-Ay. His unusaal conduct In the final Inning of a great game perhaps deprived New Tork of a victory that would have been unquestionable had he not committed a breach In baseball play that resulted In Umpire O'Day declaring the game a tie. With the score tied In the ninth inning at 1 to 1 and the New York's having a runner, McCormlck. on third base waiting for an opportunity to score and Merkle en first base looking for a similar chance, Bridwell hit Into centre field.

It was a fair hit ball and would have been sufficient to win the game had Merkle gone on his way down the base path while McCormlck was scoring the winning run. But Instead of Merkle going to second base to make sure that McCormlck had reached home with the run necessary to a victory, Merkle ran toward the clubhouse, evidently thinking that his share In the game was ended when Bridwell hit the ball into safe territory. Manager Chance of the Chicago Club quickly grasped the situation, and dlreot-ed that the ball be thrown to 'second base, which would force out. Merkle, who had not reached that corner. Manager Chance, who plays first base for the Chicago club, ran to second base and the ball was thrown there, but immediately Pitcher McGinnity Interfered in the play and a scramble of players ensued, in which, it is said, McGinnity obtained the ball and threw it into the crowd before Manager Chance could complete a foroe play on Merkle.

who was far away from the Das line. Merkle said that he had touched second base, and the Chicago players were equally positive that be had not done so. Manager Chance then appealed to Umpire O'Day, who was head umpire of the ame, for a decision in the matter. The crowd, thinking that the Giants had won the game, swarmed upon the playing field in such a confusion that none of the fans seemed able to grasp the situation, but finally their attitude toward Umpire O'Day became so offensive that the police ran into the crowd and protected the umpire, while arguments were being hurled pro and con on the point in question by Manager Chance and McGraw and the umpire. I'mpire O'Day finally decided that the run did not count, and that Inasmuch as the spectator had gained such large numbers on the field that the game 'could not be resumed O'Day declared the game a tie.

Although both Umpires O'Day and Emslle. It Is claimed, say that they did not tee the play at second base. Umpire O'Day's action In declaring that McOor-mick's run did not count was based upon the presumption or fact that a force play was made on Merkle at second base. The rule covering- such a point is as follows: Cne run shall te scored every time a base runner, after having- lee-ally touched the first three bases, shall lecaily touch, the home base before three men are put out. provided, how-ever, that If he reach home on or during a play in which the third man be forced out or be put out before reaching- first bane a run shall not count.

A forre-out can be made only when a base runner iesally loses the right to the bane he occupies and is thereby obliged to ad-vanre as the result of a fair hit ball not caught on the fly. The singular ending of the game aroused intense interest throughout the city, and ver-where it was the chief topic of discussion. Early in the evening a report was widely circulated that President Pul-I'am had decided the game was a tie and must be played again. When this rumor ROYAL WORCESTER CORSETS $1 to $3 per pair at BON TON $3 to $12 "DOTH these -corsets the Royal Worcester and the Bon Ton are made by the same excellent designer and endorsed by the Dressmakers' Protective Association of America as absolutely correct foundation for the new hipless figure gown.

But according to Umpire O'Day the game is a tie and will remain so until either the National League or the National Commission decides the matter. Lst night Umpire O'Day made an official report of the dispute to President Pulllam. Manager Chance declared that the ame waa a tie, and the management of be Giants ha recorded the game aa a 2 to 1 victory. The result of this game may prove to' be the deciding factor in the championship race, and Inasmuch aa it Is a serious matter to be dealt with President PuUlam may ask the league to act upon the question or go still further and place it in the nanus 01 me national commission supreme court of baseball. In any event there will be no double-header this afternoon, and it may be several days before the problem will be decided.

official reporter of the league York credits the Giants with a victory, but. of course, this Is subject to any action President Pulllam or me league may take in the matter. President Murphy of the Chicago Club last night entered formal claim to yes terday's Chicago-New York game in be- nau err CJblcago. President Murphy bases his claim on the ground that Merkle of the New York team, who waa at first when the ball was hit-safely to centre by Bridwell in the ninth inning, had failed to continue to second when his team mate araiestft th wlnnlnr nm fmm 1MM 1 President Murphy entered his claim In a letter to President Harry C. Pulllam of the National League, wherein Mr.

Mur- Shy cites in support of his contention the eclslon rendered in the game at Pittsburg, Sept. 4. between Pittsburg and Chicago. In which precisely the same contingency, he asserts, arose. The Chicago club protested the game, but the protest was not allowed, because the single umpire who officiated declared that he had not seen the play.

In yesterday's game the omission of Merkle to continue to second, Mr. Murphy declares, was noted by Umpire O'Day. CLASSY AND THRILLINQ BALL. Third Battle of Leading Teama Produces Sensational Sport. Well, anyway, it was a classy baseball game from the time In the first Inning when Roger Bresnahan makes an entrance, accompanied by a dresser, who does him and undoes him in his natty mattress and knee pads, till the end of the ninth, when Bridwell singles safely to centre, bringing in what looks like the winning run.

And. from a spectacular point of view, that mix-up at the finish was just the appropriate sensation to a bang-up. all-a-qulver game. They all know they have seen a mighty snappy game of ball; that New York has brought over one' more run than the enemy, whether the ran counts or not; that McGinnity in holding on to trie ball after the ninth-Inning run, has done io with the Idea that It belongs to the home team, and that good Master O'Day has said, aa he exits: "I didn't see the play on second the run doesn't count." Up to the cllmactlo ninth It was the' toss of a coin who would win. For here is our best-beloved Mathewson pitching aa only champions pitch, striking out the power and the glory of the Cubs, numbering among his slain Schulte in the first, Pfelster in the third.

Stelnfeldt In the fourth. Pfelster in the fifth. Haydon I and Bchulte in the sixth, Hayden in the eighth, and Evers and Schulte in the ninth these last in one-two order. Proper pitching, and for this and other things we embrace him. But there Pfeister is pitching good ball.

too. is ot so gooa as ine Many arucie. for this isn't to be expected, or desired. even. Pfelster doesn't strike anybody out, and Pfeister gives an occasional base on balls, and once he hits a batter, but aside from these irregularities Pfeister must be accounted in the king row of Wednesday matinee pitchers.

The gentleman who feels the weight of the delivery, and thereafter takes his base, is the plodsome McCormlck. It is In the second inning, and Pfelster whirls up a curve that doesn't break right. In fact, it breaks directly In McCormlck Sr tummy, and Pfeister is forced to figure that the joke's On him. After the heroic Dr. Creamer has emptied half a hydrant on the prostrate McCormlck the latter walks wanly to first, but he has to wait to walk home till the ninth inning.

Meantime, the ram has progressed swiftly, remarkable for excellent plays by a number of us on either side, and remarkable also for the in-and-out work of Evers at second for Chicago. It Is in the fifth that the Cubs, or one of them, find the slltary run that represents the day's work. Hofman has been thrown out at first by Bridwell, and then the admirable Tinker takes his bat In his hand and faces Matty with determination writ large on his expressive features. Mr. Tinker drives the ball away out to right centre for what would be a two-bagger if you or I had made it, gentle reader and this is no disparagement of the Tinker, for he.

is well seeming In our slfrht. As the bll approaches Master Don 1 in this man attempts to field it with his oot. It's a home run all right, when you ret down to scoring but if this Donlln boy was our boy we have sent him to bed -without his supper, and ye mind that, Mike. We found the stick all right in the sixth, and tied the score. Hersog and.

by the way, he led the batting list Vimterdav In the nbsence of Tenncy; that is, the playing absence, for Fred was among those fresent in the stand Herxog, then, belts oldly to Stelnfeldt. and it's a hit all right, but the throw that Stelnfeldt makes to first Is particularly and CORSETS per pair Corset WORCESTER RON TON $12, and and $5. Herry goes on to -second. Bresnahan yields up a sacrifice bunt, Donlln hits over second base, Hersog scores, and people go out of their minds. It is at this stage of the game that reputable prophets speak confidently of ten Innings, mayhap eleven, or so many thereof as may pulled off before day becomes night.

But darkness never stops this Wednesday game at the v. Poio Grounds, it goes the limit without interference br the dimming skies. We fancy ourselves mightily la the ninth, after uevun Das made a clean single to centre). To he sure, Seymour has just gone out at first on a throw by Evers. but we have a chance.

Devlin is on first, and the start Is splendid. But here is McCormlck. with a drive over to Evers, who throws out Devlin at second, and we're not very far advanced and two are down and out. Merkle. who failed us the day before in an emergency Is at bat.

and we gray of him that he mend his ways. If will only single we will ignore any errors he may make in the rest of his natural life. On this condition, Merkle singles. McCormlck advances to third, and everybody In the inclosure slaps everybody else and nobody minds. Perfect Indies are screaming like a batch of Coney barkers on the Mardt Gras occasion, and the elderly banker behind us is beating our hat to a pulp with his gold-handled cane.

And nobody minds. Aided by these indication of the popular sentiment. Master Bridwell hits safely to centre, McCormlck trots home, the reporter boys prepare to make an asterisk under the box score of the game with the line" Two out when winning run waa scored the merry villagers flock on the field to worship the hollow where the Mathewson feet have Sressed, and all of a sudden there is a oings around second base. McGinnity, walking off the field with the ball, as is the custom of some member of the winning team, is held up by Tinker and Evers. who Insist that the run does not count, as Merkle has not touched second.

And then begins the argument which will keep us in talk for the rest of the season, and then some. Certainly the Cubs have furnished us sport. W. W. AULICK.

TALK OF SCANDAL IN CASE Dead Woman's Father Denies That Mannes Knew Anything Against His Victim Grand Jury Inquiry. It waa reported in Brooklyn yesterday that Samuel Maanea. who is wanted fot the murder of Francos Rosentbal-MoCabe.

wag a patient In the Kings County Hospital, and that la remorse for his "brims he bad tried to commit suicide. When a number of detectives swooped down upon the hespital, the Superintend ent. Dr. Thomas Fltxgerald. detailed a number of internee to aid in a search of the warda for the alleged patient.

It waa thought that. If he were In the institution, he might have given a fictitious name. No patient who bad attempted suicide, tallying with Mannes's description, had been received within eeveral days. The search revealed that Mannes was not in the institution, though the report that he waa there came from, three different sources. One report bad It that the patient had a cut on his head, and accordingly patients with cut beads were scanned closely.

The most startling development In the case, however, was the declaration by Lawyer Frederick Mllligan. who had appeared as counsel for Mannes and whose place had been taken by Abraham Felnsteln. another attorney, that he, Mllligan, had been retained in behalf of Mannes by a sister of Warren William McCabe, husband of the victim of Mannes. The sister, Mr. Mllligan said, is a resident of the Bronx, where the McCabe residence is at 826 Hewett Place.

Lawyer Mllligan said he waa bunkoed by Influ ences he had known nothing about and that he had bean unaware of Mannes's release from Raymond Street Jail until he read of it In the newspapers. It wss reported from different sources that the members of ths McCabe family Interested themselves In Mannes's behalf in order that stories that promised to be of an embarrassing nature to the McCabe family might not be told in court. The report that the McCabes had been concerned in getting Mannes out of Jail brought an indignant protest and denial from the parents of Mrs. McCabe, Dr. and Mrs.

Isldor Rosenthal. It is absurd to "Jart a rumor that Mannes knew anything that would put the McCabe family to said Dr. Rosenthal. He could do no barm to the memory of my daughter or to her husband, or to any of his or our family. Mannes is simply a brute, who sought to disgrace my daughter, who waa a thoroughly good woman, and when he failed he murdered her in cold blood.

I cannot believe that a sister of Mr. McCabe or any of the family retained counsel for Mannes for any purpose, much less to aid him in getting away, for McCabe loved bis wife dearly, and she waa dearly liked by all his family. McCabe is a Gentile. My daughter was a Jewess. but religious differences made no difference with them.

They were too deeply in love. Several floral pieces came from Mr. McCabe and members of the family. Comment was caused by the act that Mr. of the yictlm of Mannes's bullets, was not present at the funeral yesterday or the burial In Mount Zlon Cemetery.

Mr. McCabe was not at the funeral only because he was so prostrated by his' wife's death that he. could not attend." said Mrs. Rose De Rose, daughter of Dr. Rosenthal.

His grief Is such that he is under the care of a physician In Manhattan, a friend of our family, in whose home he The Kings County Grand Jury has taken hold of the and among witnesses subpoenaed to appear before it are Abrahani Felnsteln of 44 Court Street.

AUTO CASE HELD OVER. OHBMMSaaaM Racing toard Falla to Act en Dlsquall-. fl cation of Driver. For more than threw boors the Racing Board of the American Automobile Association wrestled with the recalcitrant Motor Racing Association yesterday afternoon without coming to any decision in reference to the disqualification of the entrants 'and participants In recent unsanctioned twenty-four-hour race at Brighton Beach which the Motor Racing Association promoted.

O. Wyckoff, President of tbe Motor Racing Association, and Harry B. Houpt. Treasurer of the association, appeared before the board Informally, and discussed situation. Wbiio the meeting was harmonious, the subject was handled on both sides without gloves, but tbe atmosphere was probably slightly cleared try the plain Speak ing.

Because of the unofficial character of the visit of the Motor Racing Association officials, the whole matter was laid over until next Saturday, when It win probably be taken up by tbe Racing Board for final settlement. The action of tbe board taken at yesterday's meeting concerned tbe Vander-bllt Cup race details. Arrangements were mad with the owners of property at tbe Junction of Jericho Turnpike and Wood bury Road, where tbe Flatlron turn occurs, so that the embankment can be rased to make the turn safe and several trees removed. It waa also arranged that a three quarter-mile stretcB of the Jericho Pike should bo resurfaced, while all tbe State and gjpunty road will bo treated with oil, beginning Oct. L.

There will be 2,200 gallon of oil spread under pressure to Insure a dustless course. The ouildlng of a mile toad eighteen feet wide baa been oegun, joining in uia country ltoad and the beginning of the Parkway. It will be completed Oct. 1. Work waa started by 2U0 men yesterday.

A clutnge was made in the rules for tbe Vanderblit Cup race whereby the clause declaring that a car in each and ovary one of fts parts and equipment must be entirely constructed in the country whtoh It represents shall nofXbe considered to Include tires. America iV cars may use foreign tires, er vice versa. The members of th board present were Chairman Thompson and Messrs. Pard-ington. Graves, Bud long.

LATEST CUSTOMS RULINGS. French Wine May Not Be Entered aa a Product of Germany. Th attempt of P. H. Petry a custom broker and forwarders of this city, to bring Into the United State wine known as St.

Julian, a French wine, under, the plea that it la av product of Germany, met defeat yesterday when the Board, of United State General Appraiser banded down a decision unfavorable to (be importer. According to the official decision written by Judge SomervUle, the Importers claimed the benefit of the reduction in duty accruing under the provision of th reciprocity treaty between this country and Germany, on the ground that the wine In question is a product of Germany. The testimony of officials In tbe local Appraiser's office differed considerably from tbe claims of th Importers. In overruling the contention of Petry 4k Judg 8omervllle says in part: "At the bearing it was shown by th Government examiner at th Port of New York that, while tbe wine was shipped from Germany the bottles are labeled SU and that, in fact, the wine In question la a well-known French brand, ths tasto of which la easily distinguishable from any Qerman win. Apart from tbe claim made in tho protest, no testimony ha been introduced or offered by the importers to overcome th return of the local Appraiser or the avldenc of th Government examiner."

TRODT SEEKING HEAR THE BIG CITY'S EDGE A Midnight Expedition of Two Lovers of the Wild Whom Summer Chained in Town. TRAIL FINDING IN THE DARK And th Perils Thereof An Open-Air Breakfast That Atoned for Flsh-' less and Painful Quest. Two sport-loving New Yorkers who are fond of outdoor life saw little prospect of their usual Summer trip to th wilds this year. A th Summer waned, on of them, grown desperate with longing for a rest in th lap of nature, bad aa Inspiration. Tbr are hundred of small streams within a two hour, run of New Tork which must bold trout.

On day waa all the fishermen could allow themselves for outing, so, to sav tlrno, they decided to leave town at midnight, and reach the fishing ground at sun-up, when th fish might be Th man who conceived th Journey had hit on a valley lying- back of Haverstraw Mountain as th moat likely spot for sport.

He bad visited the place one be fore and felt sure of tbe trail up th hllL ven In th dark. They reached Haverstraw at 1:30 o'clock in th morning of on of th sultriest days of th July hot spell. Th fat man of th party was almoat don for after tan min ute walk along the villa main street. Brae up," bla companion aald la an swer to bis complaints.

The night was pitch dark and silent with th stillness which come nour or two before dawn. At a break in the fence of a cornfield about a mil out of town the leader paused. Her are," he said.

At least, think so." They, floundered through the cornfield to the thick, underbrush at the -foot of th mountain. You hav to stoop here," th leader said. Th underbrush forms a tunnel over th trail, ail th way to the top of the mountain. Stooping almost double they started up tne nni. xne ascent was gradual at first.

out soon became rteeper. The fat began to draw his breath in sobs. When does It begin to get cool? be panted at last, Keep your pluck up. it isn't SO responded his companion. They resumed the climb, the fat man amusing himself by shifting his body so as to change the course of tbe streams of perspiration down bis back.

Presently tne leader paused. "We're off tbe trail." he said. Tve thought for some time we weren't going In the rishtdlrection." The fst man sank down on -the point ot one of the many rocks he had been stumbling over at every step, and swore to himself. Oh, dear, why did I ever come on such a trip as this? or word to that effect flashed through his mind. What he said Let's go back a little way and start ver.

This they did. end after finding what eemed to no a trail regan tneir upward climb again. Presently tbe ascent became terrific. Great boulders blocked the path, and the fat man found himself suddenly hanging on with finger and toe to a sheer cliff. If you can hold out for a little and reach this stump where I am, you can aret a rest." the man In front canted.

Hardly had the words left nis mouth when a boulder released by bis foot cam crashing down the hillside. The fat man could bear coming, but he couldn't see it, and he did not dare to move out of his gUh for fesr of going over a predpto. ut the boulder passed on one side of htm, and. after a pause, an awed whisper cam Irom above: "Did it hit yon? the leader asked. Hit nohtlna-" the fat man called back.

I almost wish It had." Summoning all his resolution, the fst man scrambled up to where hi companion; lay grasping a pins stump. Th two panted in unison for few minutes and then resumed their climb. In a few minutes they reached the top. and tearing off tneir coits. soaiceu tnrougn witn per spiratlon.

flung themselves on their backs on the moss in a little glade of trees. By and by, as the cool dew soaked through his shirt, the fat man gasped with delight, If I only had a drink. could die happy." he said. As soon as th sun was up they sned down the other side of the mountain to the valley. The stream was there, with the overhanging willows and all the other accessories of a perfect trout stream except the trout.

They fished and fished and fished, but nothing came of it Finally hunger asserted itself, and they made their camp fire. Here the leader justified himself. He had en aluminium camp outfit and the skill of a born woods man In kitchen craft. The fat man never expects to taste sgaln such bacon and eggs and corree. Then came a pipe and snooze.

The trip up the mountain again from the valley wss easy, and when they reached the top they both stopped in ma rem en t. Thev had left the trail the night before Just where it skirted a pred- pice or eignty or a nunarea reel, now 'they had escaped mortal fall neither could imagine when th-y came to see their Dth In davllsrht.
