Columbia, Oct. 10?Everybody knows that Gov. Blease has been and is a Democrat, but there have been persistent rumors given circulation around the State that the governor looked with favor upon the "Bull Moose," and a Columbia dispatch publishe-d in a ? Spartanburg paper quoted a supporter of the governor in the recent primarj', nnn- nf thp "Bull V> ilU UV *? UV-V/4 v/vv,. J w Moose" organization in this State, to; the effect that the governor, if he had j not been declared the nominee for a j second term by the State executive committe, would have gone into the general election on the Roosevelt tick et. This, of course, is absurd on its * face, because the govecnor all along was contending that he was the nominee of the Democratic party. But re- i ports of various kinds will gain pub- i licity, and Gov. Blease was asked by a i representative of The Herald and | News here last night in regard to i these reports. Gov. Blease said he had had the re ?* - V.?c oHontinn * " fViRf purtg caiiuu w ui> Hkwuwuo, there was, as matter of fact, no foundation for them, and, if he considered it necessary, he would probably in the next few days issue a statement reiterating his well-known Democracy.

In discussing the matter, Gov. Blease said nothing of the race question. He simply stated there was no truth in any of the reports insinuating sympathy 4 on his part with the "Bull Moose" movement in South Carolina. ? * nr<v>A T?/ir?T*?>ccmTative r\f Thp Herald HflR JL 11U A t px vwv** <-%* v* ? v v? * ? - ? and News called at "Bull Moose" headHft quarters here last night. Lest this fact / be misconstrued, it might be well to ; state emphatically that The Herald Y . and News and this correspondent still belong to the Democratic party, and have no "Bull Moose" leanings. Mr. B. Sherwood Dunn, national commit-(| A ~ ~ ~ :" /-\f +>>?1 Rnpspvpl t leeuiau, iu tuai gc ui I headquarters, is a pleasant gentleman. He was asked about the situav% tion, and he dictated a statement bas- j ed on the New York Herald's straw balloting, t'ie statement by Mr. Dunn . glowing with confidence in The Colonel's chances. The Herald and News ! would like to print Mr. Dunn's state- j ment in full, but I learn that lack of | space will forbid. In regard to the ' situation in South Carolina, Mr. Dunn j stated that every mail since the organization of the party in this State - - last Friday has brought assurances j from every part of South Carolina of enthusiastic support, "and the fair and V tolerant attiude of the entire State - press towards this new party moveIW ment indicates that it is net only welcomed in the State, but that as soon as the pledges and commitments that have been made at the primary in the present election have been fulfilled, there will be a general turning of prominent leaders throughout the j . State to this new party.

P. Beard, of Abbeville, who gain? ..< ed considerable notoriety in the recent r campaign, who is secretary at the "Bull Moose" headquarters, was at his post of duty He emphatically denied that hp had authorized any statement _ * to th^ 'fTprt that Gov. Blease would j hav; rv?: o;> r?> R^o-'pvpI* rr-kM hod the Sfrt r-ni! nlt'p" no* I him e" Leanings Cole. L. Blease the story started was that he said that if it was necessary to go into a general election, Gov. Blease would not only have the support of Democrats, * A x "Ll Afrvrvrin" nannlo Dili mat tut; duu i\iuuot ^^would support him in preference to other candidates. However, the story started, Beard says there isn't any truth in it, and that he has written a denial to the Spartanburg Journal, the newspaper which published the Columbia dispatch in question. Mr. Beard said: '.'As my friends all over the State are asking why I accepted the position of State secretary for the Progressive, or as it is popularly called, the "Bull Moose" party, I take this opportunity to state my position on same. I could not afford to, nor would I accept a like position with the Republican party, because of their affiliation, past and present, with the negro, on equal terms. It is different with this new white party, which proposes to adapt itself to Southern conditions, and I can see 110 reason whatever why a white Southern Democrat, if he approves of the platform and principles of this new party which has sprung into being in response to the' crying needs- of the times, should not join it in perfect good faith and will. All who know me and the strenuous fight I have waged against radicalism and negroism, as editor of the Ne-ws-Scimiter and otherwise, and in the interest of organized labor, will take this state ment as a guarantee that there is absolutely no affiliation whatever with the. Republican party." j The advent of the party into South 'Carolina is feared not at all by the Democrats. The only noticeable defections in this State of which the new party has the benefit are from the Republican or Taft ranks. South Carolina is as solidly Democratic as she has been since 1876, and as she will be as long as present party organizations 'continue and bear the same relation to the negro question as now. The "Bull Moose" headquarters are i in Room 23 at the Columbia hotel. The number of the room has called forth a number of facetious remarks. But che object of this story was to say that Gov. Blease has no "Bull Moose" leanings, and that the state- j "ments and insinuations which are going the rounds are in the nature of pipe-dreams. The governor not only has no "Bull Moose" leanings now, but has had none. He has been and is, as everybody knows, a Democrat. J. K. A. nt 1. tllUITll *?1 l"?C JICUCT1H 111 * (Rev. Edw.

When victory perched on the banners of the Red Sox post, the Boston delegation inarched across the field and Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, who was a guest of Mayor Gaynor, led in the cheers for the players of both teams. Gov. Foss, of Massachusetts, and Gov. Tener, of Pennsylvania, saw the I contest. A Dramatic Finish. Rarely, if ever, has any world's < series game provided such a dramatic finish. Two runs behind in the ninth, | 'the Giant supporters had given up! hope. Hundreds were leaving the j stands when Merkle sent a single | whistling to the outfield, after one man was out. Even then the chance 'of tying the score seemed remote, but a Texas league;- by Herzog, followed quickly by a hit by Myers which sent Merkle home, put the stands in a flamq of excitement. With Giants on second and third, "thousands stood in their seats and yelled. Fletcher swung his bat nervously at the plate, while Joe Wood, white of face, seemed anxious. Tne Red Sox twirler patted the grass, hitched his belt, rubbed the ball, and adjusted his cap. This delay seemed "to unsettle Fletcher and he swung 'futilelv at Wood's fast breaking shoots three times and went back to the bench. Craudall, a strong man in the 'pinches, came up. Wood put over two strikes and then three balls. The Red Sox twirler then shct over a high fast shoot. Craudall missed and the game was over. Patfle of Wits. It was a battle of .managerial wits in the selection of pitchers. Manager McGraw pinned his faith in Tesreau, md th Ozaik bear hunter held the Red Sox hit less until the sixth inning, when Speaker's long triple broke the ice. Tesreau weakened in the seventh inning, and before the fusilade of Boston hits was over three scores were made and the Red Sox had a lead of two runs.

Boston, Oct. 9.?The second contest of the world's series between the Boston Americans and the New York Nationals today went eleven innings to a tie score of 6 to 6. when darkness put an end to the battle that kept 30( > 1 n t tci's cii the r(ise hi" !: w?:i -s' r The contest will be plaved over to- i morrow at Fenway Park here. < With one victory registered for the 1 Red Sox, Manager McGraw sent out his star twirler, Mathewson, to cap- 1 ture the second game for the Giants. Mathewson had been rested for about \ two weeks to win the first game he 1 ; twirled, but tonight the Red Sox still j < were happy because of their one vie-! < i tory and no game lost with the dread- j 1 ed Mathewson worn out with a hard-1 I pitched eleven-inning tie game. j J Tris Speaker, the Red Sox centrefielder, furnished the dramatic climax in the contest, where fortune played tickle favor with first one and then ^ the other team. i [ The ninth inning found the Red Sox \ | anu the Giants locked in a tie score : I of 5 to 5. The Red Sox left-hander.' Collins, had been driven from the box 1 in the eighth inning by a shower of 1 hits and Hall had been sent to relieve ! j him. Merkle smashed out a three-bag i ger in the tenth inning and the home club post was in gloom when he scored ' i . i on a sacrifice hit. ! In the fading light it was difficult | 1 for th? Red Sox to follow.the course of 1 Mathewson's big drop and Xew York ' felt confident. Yerkes had been turned ( back and the big crowd looked to j > Speaker. The trio of Giant outer-gar-1 deners moved far afield. Mathewson j < wound up and turned loose a faiit in- j 1 shcot. Speaker gave a wicked swing;* and the ball was sailing far over j 1 Becker's head in centre. Speaker 1 rounded first, then second, and raced < to third. The ball caromed to Shafer, who momentarily juggled it. Speaker < hesitated .at third, then sped for the plate and slid under Catcher Wilson, < who fumbled Shafer's relay k throw, j < That tied the score and the crowd went j < wild. To make sure that he had touch-1 ed the plate Speaker returned and j j touched the plate a second time before j j Wilson recovered the ball. j i Hit JTathewson Hard. j <t i The Bostons took the lead in the' < i i first inning and scored three runs by i < | hitting Mathewson hard, but the j i Giants, by peppering away at Collins's 11 delivery, picked up a run in the second i 1 and another in the fourth inning. Bos- i I ton tallied another score in the fifth : inning, but when Duffy Lewis dropped 1 Snodgrass's fly opening the eighth in- 1 ning New York started a batting rally 1 that caused Manager Stahl to hurry ; Hall to Collins's relief. Three runs al- 1 ready were over the plate on an error, i a single and two doubles. This gave j 1 New York a lead of one run. ! 1 J The Giants held their lead but a ' i , moment, however, for the Red Sox at-. ' tacked Mathewson's drop curves sav- ^ agely, and aided by an error by j Fletcher, the tieing run was sent over j 1 the plate. Then came the exciting, * tenth with Merkle's hit and Speaker's 1 mighty smash. Fletcher was broken-heartened to-1 * night over his poor game at short stop I I 1 for New York. Two of his three glar-! J .ing errors aided materially in making * 'runs by the Red Sox. ( Watrner Stars. Wagner starred at short stop for 11 Bc?ton, accepting ten chances and ex-i ^ editing a brilliant play in the ninth in- j ^ ni -g when on the dead run he speared j ^ TTMotr-hpr'c; <?roundpr with his sloved I A *VVV?V . ^ O- ~ -- ^ hand, turned and with a rifle-shot i throw that Stahl also took with one j hand, nailed Fletcher at first base. ! ^ There was an unusual lot of base j 6 stealing in the game for a world's se-! ? ries contest, five bases being pilfered. I Of these Hooper stole two and Stahl ( one for the Red Sox, while Snodgrass i s and Herzog each beat Carrigan's j throws. Hooper for the Red Sox knocked out ^ three hits, stole two bases, scored once and gathered in three flies in the out- F field. Murray and Herzog were the 1 heaw hitters for the Giants. Murray n hammered out a single, a double and J F a triple. Herzog also got a single, a v two-baggfr, and a three-bagger, and sent up a sacrifice fly opportunely, c Mathewson did not issue a base on balls and fanned four nun.
