[By Telepraph to Th» Tribune.] " • -burg. Ausr. — A fourth straight victory was the portion of John McG raw's Giants here to .dar. w ' 011 psllantly in a ninth inning rally by a score of 4 to 3. and if Xew York does not capture die National League pennant after the clean sweep ■ of the Giants here it will be the biggest baseball •surprise, hi years. The game to-day was won by sheer gameness. and if ever a hopeless task seemed to lie before a Team it was to-day. . Young really pitched a better game than Taylor, although the sixth inning, in which all the Pirate runs were scored, was the Dummy's only bad one. But Young. a*Mkß he was hit harder than Taylor, rose to emer gencies in better style until the ninth inning, md It was a bitter, gruelling, uphill fight that the Gawts made and won. The fielding was remarkably good, nervousness : on the part of Seymour and Bridwell probably ac counting for the only errors of the game. Both trendies were on easy flies, but neither figured in tie scoring. To-day's pane was a fitting climax tor on» of the 'greatest series the me has ever seen. The Pirates lost It, as they did the others, because they hadn't the stuff in them that rises to emer g-eacies in the same manner as the Giants. With notable but occasional exceptions, their pitchers were hardly up to the mark, and in their batting they failed to show the determined ability to make mam* BOrt of a hit in a pinch that marked the stick «-- : of the Giant?. In fieidiner and in base run- Einp there waf= not the ea^rness of the Giants to take advantage of everything that looked like a chance. The Giants •were not foolhardy, but they % .-. \rillins to take a chance every time and I detailed analysis or the four games would undoubt edly show that it was just that quality that turned the scale. Taere was an idea that McGraw and Bresnahan might be suspended for the kicking that caused both la be put out of yesterday's game, but Pulllam kept his hands off. and O'Day laughed when he was asked if there was to be any suspension. As a matter as* fact, there has been very little kicking all through this series, when the importance of the games and the intense feeling between the teams are taken Into account. The Philadelphia team, which starts a three-game series here to-morrow, had sn off day. and reached town from Cincinnati in time to watch the game. The Quakers still think they will be the real con tenders for the pennant, although they expect the Giants la win out. They are not far behind the Pirates and the Cubs now, and expect to pull the Pirates down this week. As they expect the Giants to win the series with the Cubs that starts to-mor row in Chicago, it is easy to see why Billy Murray end his men are so confident 6f finishing no worse than second. The defeat to-day put PitUrburg altogether too close to the Cub? for comfort. The Pirates have a nominal lead of two points, but they enjoy it only because they have played two games less than the champions. The game began with excellent pitching, and for five innings, though men reached the bases oc casionally, it seemed impossible for either side to get a man home. ■aar York lost two men in the first 'nning before Bresnahan singled. Donlin tried for a hit. but could only lift the first ball pitched to him to ThornaF. out in centre field. Mike was in eclipse as far as his batting *oru until the ninth inning, aad ex-en struck out once. There was another chance fr.r a run in the. second session. Seymour was hit by a pitched ball, but Doniin forced him at second base. Barry died on a fly to Clarke, and 3ri<Jw«il made his pretty single useless by being caught napping at first base on Youngs quick thro*-. Taylor fanned in the third and Tenney singled. He mad- the third out, after Doyle had skied, on Bresnahan's force hit. Again in the fourth Inning '.he Giants started a rally with two out. It was Devlin's turn to hit. and Pittsburg fans looked ask- EEce at Young, for each inning had seen a Giant hit the ball safely. But the ex-Bostonian was ready, and Wagner gathered Barry's pop fly. Tie Pirates had threatened to seat* in the third Inning Erldwfcll began the session with a start- Mag stop and speedy throw of Wilsons smash at short. Gibson singled, but Taylor steadied and mad, Toung fan. an.] then coaxed Thomas into hit ting straight at Seymour. The Pit-«a>u^g half of the fourth was a variegate*! nZalr. Leach fanned, and Wagner and Gill, the latter a new first baseman, who should make good, mere easy outs, but Clarke mixed a single Into tfc« combination. No harm was done, however. Things really beran to happen in the fifth. BriU •rei; walked and Taylor sacrificed neatly. Tenney •as .ext up. and hit the first ball pitched to him •rarely, netting a single that scored Bridwell. Tfc* Pirates tried to come back in their half, and *ou!d probatly hay*» done so if Barry hadn't made » r-- eau-h of Gibson's fly. That put it up to Ten^g. but the Pirate pitcher fann»-d for the second thne Bre-nahan wa« left on third in the sixth. ther.k!« partly to the fact that r»on!in struck out. The sixth was really all Pittsburgh inning, any- B*«- Luck and *:verythiTJS else was in the favor ■ the Pirates and this piled up what seemed to be core than a winninp lead as the game was going. Ttiorr>:<: w.is an easy nut in the eventful inning. But then L<»ach waited for a pass and got it. Clarke could only fly to m<>ur. Taylor was a little afraid of Wagner, and the ' Dummy passed hia on purpose. Then he cut loo?>e with a wild pitch letting sack reach third. Gill was as bad •« W.irner, however, and his single scored Leach. There was a strong dispute on this play. O'Day ttoucht GUl's hit hid touched I^each between aee •■* third and called Ijemch out. but the play be ■*sjwi to RigJer. who allowed Ix-ach to score. Every rriri on both teams got into the argument. ■« it was of no avail. Atbatlcchio scored Wagner ■M Gill with a single. The seventh ir.nrne brought about a situation that ■*'OaM have broken Dor.lin'* heart if the Giants had ■■* the game. Two wore cut when Tenney singled. . •"*>Tie follow*^ with another Finale and Bresnahan *siked. «?o the bases were full when Donlin went to sal He fouled off one ball, but was finally out on : 1 rood play by AMtalirrlsio.

The American Automobile Association gave out I yesterday this communication from Edwin Ross ' Thomas, president of the Thomas Motor Company, of Buffalo, to Frederick H. Elliott, secretary of the association: All the Thomas cars entered in the twenty-four j hour race to he h«od at Brighton Beach. September 17, have been withdrawn for the reason that the , E. R. Thomas Motor Company cannot permit any 1 of its cars over which i: has the slightest control to participate in a race which has not received the sanction of the American Automobile Association, , as it would disqualify our cars and our drivers from all events outside of the metropolitan district. We believe that racing must be controlled by an authoritative body, and as the American Automo bile Association has been controlling racing _ for I some years wr see no reason why the conditions should change. In assuming this position. I feel as if we voice the sentiment of the largest ma jority of manufacturers, without whose assistance I races- cannot be successfully run. Under instructions. H. S. Mount has withdrawn • his entries in the Brighton Beach race. j In apparent contradiction to this, it was an- I nounced last night by Moore & Mills, who repre sent the promoters of the race, that late yesterday afternoon the Houpt company had entered a car in the contest, and that it would be driven by Mon tague Roberts and Stanley A. Martin. Owing to an accident to Charles J. Swain, who was appointed one of the judges at the twenty four hour race, he will not be able to officiate, and ! General John T. Cutting, of the Oldsmobile com pany, has consented to take his place. The special officers who will patrol the course over which the Vanderbilt Cup race is to b» h°!d ; fire to wear white caps, white Jackets and white [ trousers, and are to pet J5 for their day's service. instead of J2 as in previous years. The Board of Supervisors of Nassau County, in the terms they impose for the race, are taking greater precautions for the safety of participants and onlookers than ever before. The supervisors have specified in the agreement i that at ell crossroads intersecting the count; : highways used for the races and on all curve? and I turns which do not permit of an u#ns»ructed : view for a distance of at least one hundred and ■ fifty yards a special officer, equipped with a red and white flag, shall be stationed. They shall be on duty from 5 a. m-. when the races begin, until ' 6 p. m- They are to wave the flags and warn al! persons standing up. walking along or travelling upon the highways that they do so at their own peril. In addition to these special officers there will be ! stationed at a distance not exceeding twenty-five yards apart flagmen on all curves in the highways sufficiently sharp to obstruct the view for one hun dred and fifty yards, to warn persons of the ap proach of the cars. At the turn In the Woodbury Road leading into the Jericho Turnpike five special officers, mounted on horses, are to be stationed; also at the turn of the Jericho Turnpike, at the residence of James , Malcolm, five: at the turn from the BtcfcSJvHle ' Jericho Road to the Jericho T.irnpike at Jericho Ho-el. six: at the turn from Jericho Turnpike to the continuation of the Old Wcatbmy Road, south erly, tea officers on horseback: at the turn from the continuation of the Old Westbury Road to th» county road known as the Merrick Road or Whale Neck avenue, thence to the Motor Parkway. f:x of- j fleers on horseback. The duty of these special of ficers will be to warn persons standing on the turns and endeavor to prevent them from crossing the highways at these points At a meeting of the sanction committee of the racing board of the American Automobile Associa tion applications for sanction were granted to six organizations affiliated with the American Auto mobile Association, as follows. Automobile Club of Minneapolis, hill climb. Automobile Club of Mir.ne n\<n]',s and Automobile Club of St. Paul, race meet. San Antonio Automobile <^lub. twelve-hour endur ance contest; Wild wood (X. J.) Motor Club, speed trials; Sonoma County Automobile Club. Santa Rosa. Cal.. race meet, and Richmond Automobile Club, race meet. F t-servatlon dates were also requested for sanc tioned contests to be held in the near future at Poughkeepsie, X. T-. Baltimore, Washington and Hot Springs. Ark. Toung threw Tenney out or. an easy tap. Doyle followed and two strikes were called on him. Then he hit sharply to right. Young hit Bresnahan. and with two men on the bases Mike Donlin made his first hit of the day. scoring Doyle. Doolin never made a home run that was half as useful, and it was another proof of the spirit that animates the Giants now. Seymour was next up. He got two strikes against him and began fouling. Finally, however, one of the hits flew on a line to right field, and though Witson held the ball, there was plenty of time for Bresnahan to score the winning run on the throw. I>»ever went in with the game lost and stopped the scoring, Devlin flying out to l>each. McGraw was taking no chances on what was loft of the gam*, an.l Msllmwaim went In to n*e that the Pirates mad« no ninth Inning finish. Kane batted for Gibson, and Doyle threw him out.

Exceptional feats have been recorded by the leading professional and amateur golfers practis ing at Myopia for the national open championship, which begins there this morning. Most extraor dinary was the making of the second hole in two yesterday by H. H. Wilder, the Vesper amateur. This hole is 455 yards. The 270-yard sixth hole was also made in 2. The best practice score to date was a 76 yes terday by Jock Hutchinson, the St. Andrews pro fessional, while old David Brown reeled off a 79 and a M. H. W. Bev<?rldge, the English amateur, placed a -9 to his credit. The Garden City entrants. Walter J. Travis, amateur, and H. H. Barker, professional, have been going we]!. In a four-ball match this pair defeated John G. Anderson, the former Massachu setts amateur champion, and Alec Smith, recently signed by the Wykagyl Country Club, by 7 up and 6 to play. Travis had a s . Alec Campbell, the Eastern Professional Golfers' Association title holder, returned rounds of 78 and 82, the latter being marred by an eight. Will Anderson and Fred McLeod, the Western favorites, have not accomplished anything remark able as yet. Anderson, however, is always at his best when the real teat comes. It i.« not generally figured by the experts gathered at Myopia that the winner will succeed In returning four rounds under SO. When Anderson won there In 1305 he had a score of 314. Although the course is one of the most difficult in the country, the composite score for the holes since the cracks have been practising at Hamilton is extremely low, as can be en by the following table: Firm 24» - Alps •#•»' ,i Lookout OS 2 : Road . . . ... 320 -' Punch Bowl 2.V; 1 ; Valley . 41.'. 3 Miles River 360 3;Pon<l 320 3 l>on» Tree 410 2 TlM*' ... 330 3 Prook 'J7<i 2 I/ins 820 3 Myopia 405 3.

HROOKLVX LOSES AGAIN. Cuba Take Fifth Straight Game and Almost Overhaul Pirates. Chicago. Aug. 26.— The. desperate fight with the Pirates last week evidently took all the starch out | of the Superbas, for they dropped a fifth straight ! game to the Cubs to-day by a score of 6 to 4, after ■ getting what looked like a safe lead. The victory, with the fourth straight defeat of Pittsburg by the Giants, has put the Cabs practically on even terms i with the Pirates, and all Ciiicago is baseball mad ' to-night, feeling that the champions have a chance to win the pennant ugain. The Giants will be here to-morrow and record breaking crowds are ex- ' pected. The fans think the Giants will be easy picking after the strain ot the Pittsburg series. and expect to get revenge lor the many defeats McGraw's men have handed ih« Cubs this year. Hard hitting gave the Si perbaa a lead of three runs In the first two innings. The Cubs went ahead in the third by good hittii.g. and Brooklyn errors helped the champions to get enough runs to win. j The score follows.

Wfl LARKS HOLD SWAY BROTHER JOXATHAX JVIXS Runs Fine Race Against Moquette in Melrose Stakes. Brother Jonathan, the three-year-old son of Yankee— Sister Mary, beat Moquette a head in a hard mile and a half ra--e for the Melroae Stakes, carrying $2,000 added money, at Empire City yes ♦erday afternoon. The track was a sea of mud. and the horses passed under the wire so bespattered that it was almost impossible to distinguish the colors of the little riders, who could hardly breath» or see. as their noses, mouths and eyes were filled with the mud tossed by the flying hoofs of the racers. It was about the worst day of the season, and yet fully four thousand persons journeyed to the Tankers track. They were the "dyed-ln-the svool" regulars. Seven were named to start in the MelitM* StakM, the longest race of the meeting:, but I^aliy. Ead News and Kllliecrankie w?re scratched, the first to run in the next race. T. W. Coulter sent both Brother Jonathan and Trash to the post. George Wood thought Moquette had a fine chance on the muddy track, and so did many others. He engaged E. Dugan to ride Moquette. Old Honesty was the only other starter. Moquette was played so heavily that the best that could be found against him at post time was 1 t»> 2. Brother Jonathan and Trash ruled at 7 to 5. and Old Honesty found few sup porters even at 7 to 1. Dugan lost no time in taking the lead with Mo quette. Old Honesty racing alongside cf him. The Coulter horses lay behind the pace, getting all the mud from the flying heels of the leader, but run ning easily. Moquette went down the backstretch four lengths in front. At the mile Old Honesty had had enough and his place was taken by Brother Jonathan. Trash also moving up. Moquette still raced on in front, and as they began^h final dash the colt held a length advantage. G. Burns slashed his whip across the flank of Brother Jonathan and the gelding began to draw closer to Moquette. AI! through the last furlong I>ugan worked with hand and heel on Moquette. but the early pace had been too much for the colt and Brother Jonathan passed him at the east end of the grandstand, coming on to win by a head at the wire. Trash was third, six lengths back, with Old Honesty beaten off many lengths. The time was 2:37— exceptionally good, as the record for the track is 2:35 3-5.' m Two favorites came home in front. Goldproof in the first race and Golden Shore in the last. The programme was made up of four distance races and two for sprinters. J. Butler kept up his good work, riding- two of the winners. A close watch was kept on the "memory brokers" right from the start, und several of them were warned before the racing began that they were under surveillance. James Peter Gangley, of No. 240 West E«th street, was arrested, charged with accepting a bet from Samuel H. Klein, of No. 10S West 161 st street. Gangley was taken to the Tonkers police court. where he gave $500 cash bail, and was released. C. E. Hamilton's chestnut gelding Gold Proof galloped away with the first race at six furlongs. a Belling affair for three-year-olds and upward. He was a 1 to 2 favorite, and the "memory brok ers" were hard hit by his victory, for the other three horses were practically neglected. The going was just to Gold Proofs liking, and Notter sim ply had to sit still. Gold Proof got off in front and made every pole a winning one. Sir Toddlng ton chased after the leader, but never had a chance to catch him. Biskra was an easy third. Ihe time was 1:15 2 5. Aster dOr, running in the colors of the Chelsea Stable, found a soft spot in the second race at a mile, for three-year-olds and upward, and won as he pleased. Colonel White, the favorite, getting the Place, with DArkle third. After Grimaldi tired at the half-mile post Aster dOr went to the front and was never headed thereafter. He was only galloping in the stretch. Colonel White, which was quoted at 4 to 5. didn't like the mud which was thrown in his face, and Gilbert took him wide at the far turn, where the going was better, but he never had a chance to catch Aster d'Or. DArkle closed a little ground in the streach. and was third, eight lengths back of Colonel White. Okenite. a Hastings horse, owned by E. W. Heffner. galloped away with the fifth race, at a mile and a sixteenth. Dainty Dame getting the place and Lally Just finishing in the money. The Wrestler, owned by the Chelsea Stable, was made a hot favorite, but he went to pieces after racing his legs off with Dainty Dame. J. Butler rode a good race on the winner, being satisfied to wait until the stretch before he made his final effort. Then two-year-olds sprawled through the mud in the five and a half furlong dash, and P. J. Dwyer's Sir John, with a good price against him. came home alone. liable, *vhich seemed to have a chance to win as they swung into the stretch, swerved all over the track in the last sixteenth, but under hard punishment managed to hold off Star Thistle, the favorite, for the place. Short Cut led the way to the far turn, but there he stopped, ami finished In the ruck. K. F. Carman's Golden Shore liked the muddy track and splashed the mud in the faces of his op ponents ail the way, corr.'ng home in front, in the last race, under a clever ride by J. Butler. He was one of the two favorites to take first money. Mono . la ran a fair race, and was second. Castlewoocl being third. Lord Stanhope, which won easily in the mud on Saturday, was never prominent yester day, though the time for the mile and a sixteenth was only a fifth of a second faster. A PREDICTION THAT WENT WRONG.

N. T-. Aug. 25.— Special County J-j<?»s Royce to-day granted the application of Charles C. Chappell for the release of Ferdinand Pln=e? Earle. under bonds on th» charge of beatlns; h.i second wif». formerly Miss Julia Kuttner. Hla bail was fixed at {I.OCO, and to-morrow --—.-* il 13 expected that his brother. Victor M. Earle. ol New York, will qualify as one of the bondsmen. Earle himself will qualify as the other boodsma-v pledgtns his home in Monroe as surety far HI ap pearance before the *ran«l jury in October. It was the intention of Sheriff Decker to have Earle examined to-day by two physicians for tin purpose of determining hi* sanity. The impression prevails that Earle is insane, and it is said that ha has been pronounced a paranoiac by a distinguish*} alienist of New York City. The examination waj to have been made in the Jai! to-day by Dr. D. T. Condlct. the jail physician, and Dr. Charles Smith, of Chester, the physician who attended Mrs. Earl« at the birth of her child and who was famtliftt with many of Earle'3 peculiarities. Dr. Smith was; unable to come to Goshen to-day, and In the mean time the application for ball was made. If Earle Is released to-morrow, as expected, no examination will be mad« by the authorities. M ball is not furnished he will probably be e&iiiilllW*! . Bacon & Merritt. attorneys for the relatives of Mrs. Earle. will not oppose the release of Earl« under bonds. Tie sole object of his arrest was to afford the wife an opportunity to get away. It was expected that he would be ink— sj under bonds. Mr. Bacon stated to-day that he was certain ti.it the published statement that Mrs. £arl» had re turned to Monroe was erroneous, and that, In spita of what the servants said, she was not thers. It was her intention to disappear entirely and not re turn to her husband under any circumstances. Earle has been meek of demean^- sfaice his to carceration. He sen-Is for the Sheriff every ■•• and then and asks, many questions in a lackadaisi cal fashion. He writes many Ion? telegrams and letters, but tears up the majority of them. He is confident of his release to-morrow. Earle broke down in his cell to-night and wept bitterly when he read the accounts of his arras*) and the charges against him. He broke his vo» of reticence and said that all the trouble in his household was ' caused by his mother-in-law, who. persistently interfered in the affairs of his home, refused to allow food to be cooked and served aa he desired, protested against his management of his estate and persecuted him In many petty way« * Before the birth of his son he engaged a naraa from New Tork, but she was not allowed to re*, main, but was supplanted by Mrs. Berry, aunt «| his wife. V On the day the baby wa3 born the mother and aunt made so much noise by loud talking and laughter that he was driven frantic and asked the former to desist. She told him to mind hi* own business. Owing- to the actions of his mother in-law he became so extremely nervous that soon after the baby's birth he found It necessary to tan away, and remained five days, visiting his brother. Upon his return he found that hla mother-in-law had given away a valuable Great Dane pup. which he highly prized. This drove him nearly distracted, and his wife, who realized his condition, was very kind and loving, and kept him with her as much as possible. He spent the greater part of each morning in her room, reading to her while she nursed the baby. He was astonished at his arrest. That morning he had been trimming trees on his estate and saw the automobile with the officers approaching. He thought it was the doctor and entered the house to advise his wife. He went to her room, kissed her and the baby and started for his studio to paint, but stopped at the door to admit the doctor. It turned out to be the Sheriff with the warrant. He said .hat he worshipped his wife, and that sha loved him. but tnat happiness was impossible be cause of the family. He hopes for a reconcilia tion. FUNERAL OF F. A. WILCOX.
