(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 8 Before a
cheering, shouting, laughing crowd
of approximately 40,000 fans, the De
troit Tigewf went down in defeat to
day before the Pittsburg Pirates in
the first game for the world's cham
pionship between the winners of the
American and National League pen
nants respectively. The score was
4 to 1. It was a Pittsburg crowd
through and through. The Detroit
fans were outnumbered 7to 1. All
the betting was with the Smoky City
team favorite and that the wager
layers were bested is shown by the
result, the three-time world title
contenders falling down hard and
making four errors.
Manager Clarke, of the Pirates,
was the hero of the day, for it was
his home run clout in the fourth in
ning that tied the score which up to
that time had stood 1 to 0 in favor
Detroit scored in the first half ol
the first inning, Cobb getting the
run after he had walked. Then
Crawford hit to Adams, who threw
wild to third, forcing D. Jones. Del
ehanty, on the third pitch, singled
to left and scored Cobb.
Not till the second half of the
fourth did the Pittsburgers even up
that single tally mark. Then Clarke
made the home run that brought
everyone of the immense crowd of
spectators to his feet. He gave the
sphere a swat that sent it out into
the right Held crowd, and they were
still hunting for it when he touched
home.
Forbes Field, Pittsburg, Pa., Oct.
8 They're at it the Tigers and Pi
rates began battling this afternoon
in the first game of the world's cham
pionship series at Forbes field.
Easily 40,000 ball-mad, crazy fans
within the park sent up a throaty
bedlam of praise, encouragement,
curses and "eeb-yahs" at the hopes
of two cities as the game started.
Without the gates thousands of
would-be rooters were stacked as in a
pandemonium of disappointment
fighting and pleading by turn.
Never before in the history of the
game had there been such propitious
weather. Physically nothing more
could be asked.
The thousands who in the morning
were prepared to shed tears, gnashed
their teeth, sounded paeans of joy
when the sun dispelled the cold,
murky fog and left clear, cool, snap
py weather, calculated to invigorate
the players and put them upon their
mettle.
Towering policemen were striving
to hold the horde In check but the
crowd was determined not to be de
nied, despite the fact that within hu
manity was packed, crushed into
every seat, occupied everi aisle, every
nook and every corner (hat would
hold all or a part of human body.
Inside the fans seemed to .have lost
all reason. Banked tier upon tier in
the grandstand they - were shouting
themselves hoarse.
In the bleachers, untrammelled by
convention, the hundreds of the "late
luck" ones acted like a delegation
from an insane asylum, while In the
field, behind the low green fence,
AND EVERYTHING
tranquility was a thing unknown
The teams lined up as follows:
Pittsburg: Byrne, lib.; Leach, cf.:
Clark, l.f. ; Wagner, s.s.; Miller, 2D

Cheer after cheer greeted the "big

MILLARD IS NOT
CRANE'S AVUISER
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Oct. 8 Assistant Sec
retary of State Adee today laughed
at the report published in New York
paper this morning asserting: that
Thomas Millard, a reporter employed
by a New York publication, who was
in China for a short time has con
stituted himself the "personal confi
dential advertiser" of the United States
Minister Crane, who is on his wav to
Washington to confer with Secretary
of State Knox, having been recalled
when on the point of sailing from San
Francisco for his post at Pekin.
'The sugestion that Millard is in
any way connecteu wun me govern
ment or is diseusisng political matters
in China with Minister Crane with the
assent of the state department is too
ridiculously absurd to merit denial.
The department has never heard of the
reporter, Millard, who seemingly as
sumes that because he nas visueu
China for a few weeks he is qualified
tn net as1 'confidential advertiser to
the United States minister to that
empire. Millard is apparently anxious
to convey such an Impression, accord
ing to reports so that he may assume
an air of importance. He has no con
nection with this government in any
manner whatsoever."
Mr. Adee also denied the report pub
lished here' that Colonel James Ham
ilton Lewis, a Chicago lawyer, who
recently made a trip to China, and
who is said to be on his way from
Chicago to the capital is coming here
at the request of the state department
to make a report as to the result of
his visit.
Minister Crane is expected here
Sunday.

Years,
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, Oct. 8 National
claims that have arisen over the own
ership of the North Pole and the re
gion surrounding it for the discovery
by Dr. Cook and Commander Peary,
recall an Interesting suggestion in a
resolution adopted at a meeting of
the American Philosophical Society,
held in Philadelphia last May. Rear
Admiral George W. Melville, U. S
N., presented the resolution. It wan
directed principally at the claims ol
certain members of the British navy
and the Royal Geographical Society,
that "Wilkes Land," in the Antarc
tic, does not exist and should be
erased from charts of that section of
the globe.
British scientists and navy officers
evidently are not Informed on the ex
ploits of Lieutenant Wilkes, for his
claims to have discovered Wilkes
Land are well founded.
The Wilkes expedition, command
ed fey Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, U.
S. N.. which left Norfolk, Va., In
1SS8, was the first voyage of discov
ery undertaken by an officer of the
(inlted .States navy. It. was the in
tention of the leader of the expedi
tion to ceach, ifposst'jl, tit ftonttt
Pole. It was gone for four years,
many thousands of miles in the Ant
arctic were covered. The expedition
comprised the sloops-of-war Vin
cinnes and Peacock, the hrlg Por
poise, the ship Relief and the tenders
Sea Gull and Flying Fish.
Thousands of specimens of Antarc
tic animals, birds, reptiles, insects,
shells, minerals, and an immense
amount of scientific data were gath
ered by the expedition. Many of the
natural history and minerological
specimens then obtained are now in
the Smithsonian Institution in this
city.
When Lieutenant Wilkes returned
to the United States he announced
the discovery of the new land In lite
Antarctic and it was marked on all
succeeding maps as "Wilkes Land."
The expedition brought back plenty
of proofs of the discovery of the new
land, and its existence heretofore has
not been questioned by geographers
and scientists. Wilkes Land has not
been visited again by any expedition
since Lieutenant Wilkes discovered it
in 1840. Many of the succeeding dis
coveries made in the Antarctic were
by American sealing captains
Swain, Palmer, Pendleton, Morrill
Smiley and others. All their discov
eries have been verified and enlarged
by explorers of other nationalities,
and the members of the American
Philosohpical Society ate apprehen
sive that the same thing will happen
to Wilkes l,and.
The resoltuions of the society at
the Philadelphia meeting recom
mends a co-operation of American
scientists and explorers to urge the
lifting up of an expedition to verify
and amplify the Wilkes discoveries.
It is recommended -that the govern
ment equip a naval vessel to thor
oughly explore and survey the coast
of Wilkes Land and at the same time
investigate other parts of the Ant
arctic. Wilkes land is believed to be
a continent.
Members of the National Geo
graphical Society and the American
Philosophical Society will Boon make
an effort. It is reported here, to in
duce the federal government to in
augurate or at least to aid a private
expedition to Wilkes Land. If such
an expedition starts it is not improb
able that it might make an effort to
reach the South Pole ahead of the
Scott British expedition, which it uy
reported will try to reach the South
Pole, sailing from London early in
1910.

Nashville. Tenn.. Od. s -The gro
cer v store owned by .1. A. I hiiss, at
Klfihth avenue and North, and Jeffer

morning and, four persons perished in
the building and one subsequently in
the city hospital.
The fire is supposed lo have been
of incendiary origin. Jim Ilutler and
George Harrison, negroes, have been
arrested and are held on suspicion.
Mose Fishman with his wife and
their relatives, were asleep over the
store, and none of them escaped.
Fishman himself got. out of the burn

shortly after being carried there.
The other dead are his wife, Mrs.
Dora Fishman, Miss Rose Fishman.
his sister; Mrs. Rose A Fishman.
step-mother, and Mrs. Rachel Mark
son, his sister-in-law. 1
It appears that the building' was in
full blaze before any of the Fishnuni
family awoke and the destruction of
the stairway cut off their escape. In
dications are that the fire originated
under the stairway. The smoke
filled the upper-floor and three of the
victims died of suffocation.

characterized by (lurry Ilerrman,
chairman of the National Baseball
Commission, as the most important
in lite history of the national game.
Many thousands of visitors arrived
during the past 21 hours on regular
and special trains from all points of
the compass to witness the opening
ga tue and the tremendous interest
aroused throughout the country is
evidenced by the fact that over :UI(I
(.pert baseball writers, representing
leading papers from coast to coast
and from the gulf to the lakes, were
on the scene, prepared to keep their
readers as thoroughly in touch with
the jiame as were the -1 0,000 occu
pants of Forbes' Held, the most niag
nificeiif, baseball ground in the world.
President Hejdler, of the National
League; President Ban Johnson, of
i iif .American laague, and many other
prominent baseball men from all over
the country, were on the ground
early. With the exception of the
Knights Templar Conclave and the
(i. A. R. Kncampruv.it the hotels of
i.he city has never in their history
been so crowded and cots were placed
in hallways, dic.iiig-roonis and other

One oc oniric individual slept on a
col in front of the main entrance to
i he hall park, hut lie has a mania for
being the first purchaser of tickets
and will accompany the teams to De
troit and repeat his stunt.
All night long a line of several
hundred stood in front of the gates
of the park patiently wailing for the
opening day. Fires were lighted,
sandwiches and coffee passed around
and the wait was made as comfort
able as possible. All the reserved
seats were sold by mail several days
ago and only general admission tick
ets could be purchased at the box of
fice when they opened at .10 o'clock
this morning.
Standing room for about 10,000
has been prepared and preparations
made to handle 45.000.
The police arrangements wet its
perfect as the ingenuity of th de
partment, working hand in hand With
the park management, could make
them. New entrances were opened
on Bouquet and Louisa streets to the
park. Each ticket was sold with a
coupon telling the holder which ent
rance to be used and the police were
instructed to rigidly enforce the regu
lations. Vehicle traffic was so diverted as
to avoid any blocking in the vicinity
of the grounds. All automobiles and
other vehicles were parked and
guarded promptly after their occu
pants arrived. Two hundred and
fifty policemen in uniform and an
army of detectives in plain clothes
were on hand early and all the re
serves were held at their barracks
ready for instant service.
The Detroit .team arrived yester
day in two sections. The team prac
