advanced to arcond on Kunkle' out at
first. Kern rapped a single Into left t hat
put Landreth on third. Kahl came through
with a three-bagger, which scored Lan
dieth and Kearns. In the sixth, Kahl again
came to the fore after Kunkle had fanned-
and lined out double. Johnson struck

light. Pennell flew o,ut to Schlpke. Dan
drrth singled and advanced Thomason a
bake. Kunkle hit a long on to deep cen
ter which hit the fence and scored Thoma

went out at second when Hollenbeck hit
an easy one to second. Corrldon lined
uut a two bagger. Welch walked and
achlpk wa hit. (Jraham went In to bat

Cadman was sent in In Melter's place to
continue the rally, but was only able to
knock a slow one In front of the plate
and wa thrown out at that by Kerns.
Melter HeKctes Patton.
Patton started the game for Omaha, but
wa taken out In the second after he
bowed he was not liable to win. Melter

PHILADELPHIA. May 12-"Chlef"
Bender of the Philadelphia club today per
formed the greatest pitching feat nf the
season, when he not only shut out Cleve
land, 4 to 0, but also prevented his op
ponents from getting a hit. Only one
Cleveland player reached first base, this
belrg Turner, who received a base on balls
In the fourth inning and was thrown out
trying to steal cund.
So remarkably effective was Bender that
only three hard chances were offered by
Clevelard balsmen. Oldi-ln and Hartz I
etch making a fine running catch, and
Murphy In tho sixth Inning peiting a foul
by Lord on the full run and leaping over
a cement coping and running up the
bleaohers before he could check himself.
The victory for Philadelphia was the
eighth straight and made a new major
league record for this i. wison. The homo
team batted Ltneke a curves at the right

Norris O'Neill
Full of Smiles
President of the Western League
Sees Prosperous Year
Ahead.
"I never was so happy in my life. If I
was any happier I would surely explode."
This is the way Norris O'Neill, president
of the Western league, expressed himself
Thursday morning, when he arrived to
look over the base ball situation In
Omaha.
"The way tump of these towns are draw
ing Is a caution and it Indicates a most
prosperous year for our league. We surely
did the right thing when we took In St.
Joseph. They have been without base ball
Just long enough to allow some of the cob
webs to be wiped off. There seems to be
no knocker in the town and all me out
boosting for the. team. Interest in the
sport Is indicated by the record breaking
crowd which are attending every day."
Mr. O'Neill Is much pleased with the
getaway of the 1910 season. He says that
conditions in tha organization could not
be better and predict one of the most
successful season the league has ever e
peritneed.
"The attendance at the opening games
this year was way beyond our expecta
tions," said O'Nell. "Never In the history
of the league have the people turned uut
to witness the openers, like they did this
yiar.
"I cannot predict anything but a suc
cessful season for the Western and I am
going to do all In my power to keep the
conditions as they are."
After witnessing the game between To
peka and Omaha, President O'Neill will
continue on his trip around the circuit.

eral Wickersham admits that his summary
of the tilavls chaiaes which he prepared
for the president and on which the latter
wa supposed to have based his letter ex
onerating Secretary Balllnger and dismiss
ing Q lu vis, was prepared after the date it
bore. '
In a letter dated May 10. addressed to
Chairman Parker of the hoi ) Judiciary
corrrrnlttee, which had the Harrison reaolti
tlon calling on the attorney general r.r
all Information bearing on the tumme
Mr. Wickersham wrote as follows:
"Thl summary necessarily wa made i ;i
afterward and properly bore the date mi
which the matter It contained was consid
ered by the president. There is no m
tery about this matter and nothing which
may not be freely stated, but due regaid
for the constitutional authority for th'
executive forbids that the action of the
president and his advisers shall be cal.B'
Into question by the co-ordinate branch .
the government In this manner."
Secretary Balllnger read the letter from
the stand during the Balllnger-Plnchot
investigation this afternoon, Just after At

Mr. Lawlor wrote the committee that h
had prepared such a memorandum at the
presidinl's reipiest, but had turned It over
to the attorney general ami had not thuuiV'
It proper to retain a copy of It. '
After reading the letter Mr.- Brandeis
said he believed his reouist to the attor
neey general for all documents In his po- -session
bearing on the Olavls charge."
covered that memorandum, hut that It had
not bern furnished.
Mr. Brandeis hoped to show by tne
memorandum that the president's action
had been based on Mr. Lawlor's review
of the case and not on a careful weighing
of the fa.s hy Other himself or by the
attorney general.
Secretary Itallin, r tnteri upted the at
torney to state that he knew of his owr
knowledge that Mr. Lawlor had mil Mr.
Wickersham in New York a few days pri.it
to the preparation of the president s It tier.
