NEW YORK. Oct. 7.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) That same powerful attack
which earned them an American league
pennant enabled the Philadelphia Ath
letics to triumph over New York's
Giants today In the opening game of the
world's championship series of 1913 by
a score of 6 to 4, before a crowd which
was below the Polo grounds records, but
would hare passed It if the officials had
not been overcautious in closing the
gates.
Only a little over 56,000 persons were
admitted to the arena to watch the bit
ter battle which resulted from the clash
of tho season's champion teams, and
that was 2,000 shy of the high water
mark of 1911. But more than 16,000 dis
appointed fans, shut out of the battle
field, surrounded It and listened all aft
ernoon to the cheering, and such scraps
of Information as their luckier brethren
would impart to them over the concrete
walls,
Dad Day for Pitcher.
Chief Bender, gaunt, bronze skinned
hero of many a post-season contest,
proved resourceful enough in spite of his
great age to cope with the Giants all the
way. He had no easy time of It, for the
men of McGraw fought the gamest kind
of a battle, relying for a successful as
sault after they apparently had been
beaten off and fighting for victory right
down to the last man out. Three pltchors
were used by Manager McGraw in an
effort to stop the potent rushes of the
Athletics, and only one of them proved
successful.. Hube Marquard a son.
GIbear, of much renown In the National
lSagutnW'y'ear, was AfcGraw's choice ai
the start,, and for three Innings he looked
all over the winner. IJut in .the. fourth
and fifth periods ihe Maokmen massed,
their hits' on him and won the game. Old
Doc Crandall, prescrlber for many a sick
combat during his years of service, was
asked to check the Athletics after the
Giant almost caught them in the fifth.
He Was good for a pair of Innings, than
was driven to cover and Tesreau came on
too late to. save the day.
Ilittinfr Shows Difference.
The Giants made as many hits off
Bender as the Athletics did off the trio
of Giant slabmen, but could not combine
them as well, and there was far less
power behind their safe drives. Of the
eleven safeties made off the "veteran
Indian, only one was for extra bases,
and he would have quelled even their
most successful attack without trouble If
Barry had played up to his usaul stand
ard. The Athletics drovo some of their
eleven hits much farther away than the
Giants could. Two doubles, a pair of
triples and one home run were included
In the Philadelphia swats.
Thero is no need to tell you who made
the 'home run. It was the lad you all
expected would do it, none other than
Prank Baker, and It was Just as effoctlve
as the historic swats he made in the
world's battle of 1911. It came with two
out and Collins on second In the fifth in
ning and accounted for the two runs by
which the Mackmen were victorious and
compelled McGraw to withdraw Mar
fluard. Eddie Collins, who was the owat-

In corference with the officials of the
reclamation service over the question of
grates for the new line of road between
Guernsey and Wendover, Wyo., left for
Nebraska today, having reached an agree
ment with the government authorities
whereby the work of building tunnels
through Iron mountain may' go on.
In order not to Interfere-with the plans
ot the reclamation service, which con
templates the building of a dam between
Wendover and Guernsey, the establish
ment of a grade was essentially neces
sary before the railroad company could
begin the running of its levels; Mr.
Westervelt presented the difficulties con
fronting his company as to grades and
the necessity of expeditious action In
order that the projected line from Laurel
In Montana to Guernsey, Wyo., through
Casper and Douglas, might be begun In
ths early spring.
After muoh consultation It was decided
to fix the levels ut 4.415 feet above the
sea, lih will necessitate the Burling
ton running three tunnels through Iron
mountain at a cost of 31,500,000 In order
to reach the new country opened up by
the North Platte project, and this new

LITTLE OF STORY CORROBORATED
ChlcaKo Police Kind Kfldencc that
lie Mny Have Murdered Mrs.
Armnlirl Wight Last
December.
CHICAGO, 00..7.-A. speedy trial for
tht' murder o'f Mrs. .Mildred Allison-Rex-,
roat -on ' BspUmber1 'SS'VrKs'today promised
Henry Spenceri whose confessions of
twonty. 'murders woven by ah opium
cloUd6d (bfilh' dUnifourided the police,
the authorities will continue to Investi
gate Msfahtesllo stdries In the hope-ot
establishing- further facts.
His admission of tho It ex r oat crime Is
substantiated. lie Is known to have com
mitted many of the large number of bur
glaries he has confessed, and there Ib a
possibility that he rntty have slain Mrs.
Annabel Wight last December. This wo
man was beaten to death and robbed by
a man Who had rented a room.
While the Investigation of. his so-called
admissions where alleged victims were
ChlCagoans w(ll go on, Spencer wll .be
detained at the detective bureau only as
long as persons can be found who might
Identify him for crimes. In a few days
he will be turned, over to the authorities
of Dupage county, where Mrs. Rexroat
was killed.
Spencer spent a sleepless night and this
morning was extremely nervous. Tho
fact that he has been without opium for
at least two days and tho many hours of
questioning to which he had been sub
jected are believed to be responsible for
his condition.
Spencer asked his guard 'or a cigar
and after nervously puffing at It for some
time said he felt better. The prisoner
ate a light breakfast and read the news
papers preparatory to again being ques
tioned by Captain Halpln and State's
Attorney Hoyne.
When Spencer was shown telegrams
from Delevan, Wis., and Paw Paw Lake,
Mich., stating no such murders as he
described were ever committed there the
prisoner smiled and said:
"I killed those women Just as I have
told you. I don't care what those coun
try sheriffs say. I am not full of 'hop'
either, and know what I am talking
about."

his Impeachment and in return therefor
aaWJne"Va willing to do whfteVef was
right," acdording to (he testimony of
Allah A. nfyn a thi trial toddy. t
Ths tmltnony was. given after tli
enhrt by a secret vote of 41 to II, de
cided' to admit on the record Ityari's
testimony of yqsterday. This was that
Governor sulzer' had usked him to see
Beliator Hoot and request him to induce
Slato Chairman William Barnes to In
fluence the republican vtes ot the mem
bers bt the court to declare the Impeach
ment proceedings Illegal because they
Wcro broilght during nn extraordinary
session of the legislation.
The admission of this testimony stricken
from the record opened the doors to
Ityan's story of tho governor's alleged
attempt to. make peace with Tammany
hull on the event of his impeachment.
Asked II to Hen lyicoll.
Ityan said that Sulzer asked him to see
Dolancey Klcoll, his father's attorney,
and request him to see Murphy.
"He wanted me." the witness said,
"to havo Mr. Nlcoll sway Mr. Murphy to
call off this Inquiry by getting his follow
ing to vote that the assembly had no
right to Impeach him. Ho said Mr. Nlcoll
could be the go-between and that he
(Sulzer) was ready to do whatever was
right."
What did you do In regard to securing
Delancey Nlcoll?" asked Attbrney Stanch
field of counsel for tho Impeachment
managers.
"I told the governor," replied the wit
ness, "that 1 would see what I could do,
and went out Into the country and forgot
It."
Previous to this, Ityan said, In response
to the governor's request that ho got
Senator Boot to see Barnes, he had
promised to sound the "republican senti
ment" In the court of Impeachment him
self and with that purpose In view, ho
saw a "friend" whose name he did not
disclose. This friend, according to Byan,
dictated a statement to him on the situa
tion, which ho said ho showed to Gover
nor Sulzer.
The statement placed ln evidence said
In part:
"The republican organization as such
will do nothing", It will give no advlco,
no order, and will leave every repub
lican senator to do as he sees fit. The
chairman says distinctly he will not per
mit unyone, high or low, to speak to him
on the subject."
Byan was not cross-examined.
The defense then opened its case, cull
ing Samuel A. Beardsley of Uttca. Judge
Herrlck said he proposed to show by the
witness that Beardsley offered to con
tribute 13.000 "for a client" to Sulzer
and that the contribution was declined.
The court by a voto ot 29 to 21, then
voted not to receive any testimony tend
ing to show contributions were refused.
Beardsley is said to have ben an at
torney for the late Anthony N .Brady.
Herbert 11. Lehman of New York, treas
urer of Governor Sulzer's campaign fund,
testified ho gave Oulter $5,000 In cash on
September 25, 1512, without any reserva
tion. The governor's attorneys declared
they proposed to show that this was
PHrt of the money the governor used In
Wall street.
