BOSTON, Oct. 15.—The New York

In the flrat Inning. The Ked Box
never recovered from that first in-
ning, and. though they peppered away
fitfully ut Teareau'* moist ball, they
never came within threatening dla-
tance of the Gianta. Manager Mc-
Graw, In the coacher'a box down ofl
third base, directed the attack on
Wood. He gave ordera to hit th»
flrat ball pitched and with few ex
captions all of the nine men who
batted in the first inning rapped the
first ball Bent up. This ahower of
hits, combined with a double ateal.
paved the way to New York'* alx
runs. Thereafter Wood was a broken
reed and Charlie Hall. Boston's relief
pitcher, wan aent Into the box.
Jo* Wood was given a hearty re-
ception upon his stepping Into the
pitcher's box. His Atat offering t"
Devore waa called a ball and the next
ball pitched was hit toward Wagner
The shortatop could not field It In
time and Devore waa aafe. Doyle rip-
ped a single to center and Devore ad-
vanced to second. On the first ball
pitched Devore and Doyle caught the
lted Sox pitcher napping as they
pulled off a doublt steal. Snodgrass
here came to time with a rattling
two-base hit to right field and Ds-
vore and Doyle came across with New
York's first runs. Murray sacrlflqgm'
Stahl making the out unassisted.
Snodgrass taking third. Merkle then
played a fly to left field, but the
stiff wind carried It toward ih& In-
field and the ball fell aafe ror a
tingle. Snodgrass scored on this play
and Merkle took second on the throw
In. Herzog chopped a grounder <o
Wood and Merkle was run down b;-
tween second and third base, Wag-
ner getting an assist and Oardner the
put out Herzog took second on the
play. "Chief" Meyers singled to left
field and Herxog scored New York'3
fourth run. Fletcher cracked a sin-
Kle to right and Hooper made a per-
fect throw to third to head off Mey-
ers. but Gardner muffed the ball,
Meyers was safe and the New York
shortstop took second on the throw
In. "Big Jeff" Tesreau, the ninth
New Yorker to go to the plate In the
Inning, singled past Wood and Mey-
ers cam* home with the fifth run:
Fletcher and Tesreau then attempted
a double steal, but Tesreau was
caught between the bags, btat not be-
fore Fletcher slid across the plate
with New York's sixth run.
Some of the Giants seemed to
thlnd Wood had broken under the
strain of his two earlier games. His
curve ball had little break to It and
the Giants had no trouble hitting his
fast ones.
The Red Sox have Hugh Bedient
ready to go on the firing line for the
deciding game tomorrow, with Wood
prepared to go to his assistance,
while the Giants will depend on
Mathewson with Marquard held In re-
serve.
Tesreau held the whlphand through-
out today's game. His moist ball
broke sharply over the plate and the
Red Sox were unable to fathom his
delivery wtoen hits would have scored
runs. Twelve redlegged players were
left anchored on the bases.
Although New York had a com-
manding lead throughout the game,
McOraw kept Mathewson warmed up
to relieve Tesreau in case he weak-
ened.
After making six runs In the first
innlner, the Giants scored another tal-
ly la the second, two more In the
sixth, one In the seventh and one 'n
the ninth Inning. The Red Sox got
their first run in the second Inning
when Oardner shot a screaming home
run Into the right field seats, the
first circuit drive of the series. Two
more runs were scored In the seventh
and another In the eighth by tjie
home club. Captain Doyle of New

plenipotentiaries signed the protocol
of a peace treaty which ends the war

The precise terms will not be avaii-

well known. The treaty will provide
for absolute sovereignty of Italy in
l.ybla without formal recognition

Khalif; Turkey to withdraw her regu-
lar troops from Lybla; Italy to pay an

Turkey, with guarantees for the
Christian people; no Indemnity pay-
able by either side toward the cost

" MERCY HOSPITAL, Chicago, 111.,
Oct. 16.—Former President Roosevelt
was resting fairly easy tonight and his
physicians said, after a day of nervous
strain, they were pleased with his
condition. The clinical record show-
ed. however, that his condition was
hardly as favorable as when he en-
tered the hospital this morning on
his arrival from Milwaukee. His
pulse at 10 o'clock was 86, or 14
counts above normal and two counts
above the record two heurs after he
was shot. His temperature was 99.2,
or three-fifths of a degree above nor-
mal. It was believed ttie night would
indicate whether the pistol wound In-
flicted on him last night by John
Schrank In Milwaukee, would heal
normally.
Dr. John B. Murphy, who Is In
charge of the case, left the hospital
before 10 o'clock for the night.
"Colonel Roosevelt la resting quiet-
ly," he said. "He had dinner. There
was less distress in his breathing:.
His general condition Is exceptionally
good and he should have a good
night."
All of the attending physicians left
the hospital for the night except Dr.
Scurry Terrell, who remained In a
room next to that of the patient. It
was said no further examination of
the patient would be made until 8
eclock when there would be a con-
sultation.
Tetanus anti toxin was Injected Into
the colonel's abdomen a short time
before he went to sleep. A. rise in
temperature followed, together with
slight local irritation. Otherwise the
colonel exhibited no symptom from
the anti toxin, although the surgeons
were prepared for the slight nausea
and disxine8s which sometimes comes
after treatment. The three-fifths of
a degree In temperature, it was said,
was not caused by the wound as up
to the time of the Injection the pa-
tient's temprt-ature was practically
normal. The Increase In the rate of
his pulse Is not accounted for.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15. — Theodore
Roosevelt was not merely superficial-
ly wounded by the bullet fired into
his breast yesterday in Milwaukee by
John Schrank, It was determined to-
night by surgeons after all day exam-
inations and consultations; and the
colonel must not see or to speak to
anyone for several days without per-
mission of the doctors.
The wound was definitely describ-
ed as a serious wound in the chest,
and "not mere flesh wound." The
late bulletin which prohibited com-
munication between the colonel and
others than his attendants, declared
that "quietude Is absolutely essen-
tial."
The surgeons asserted, however,
that It waa not necessary to probe for
the bullet "and the patient probably
his nature will allow him for a few
days.
The patient slept well at intervals
during the day. ate ravenously of
articles customarily making up his
bill of fare, read lengthy extracts
from Macauley and hinted to his phy-
sician that he would not object to a
ride in the fresh air.
Finally learning that the corre-
spondent* accompanying him on his
speaking tour, who had left him after
the assault in Milwaukee to file thalr
articles, had rejoined his entourage
at the hospital, Colonel Roosevelt In-
sisted that the<edtct of his physicians
against communication with him tie
ignored for the time.
He received the newspaper men
with an apology for not arising, jested
with, them about his condition and
told them "I'M hurry up and get out
of here so I can keep you busy
again."
In opening the door to his room
to admit the correspondents, the
heavy odor of heaps of flowers bank-
ed high In the ante room flooded the
colonel's apartment and he Inhaled
deeply several times. The extra ef-
fort caused a little pain, however,
and when the doors were shut again
he Instructed his nurse to present
part of the flowers to other patients
In the hospital. This was done.
His doctors, however, did not feel
inclined today to allow him to leave
inside of ten days, so that they mignt
have no break in their minute by
> minute watch for possible infection
from the bullet
Unofficially it was made known
today that the physicians do not con-
sider it necessary to probe for or
operate to remove the bullet. It lies,
as shown by the X-ray photographs
broaght from Milwaukee by Dr. J. O
Janssen and corroborated by others
taken in Mercy hosuital, not far from
the breast bone, on the right side and
probably five Inches below the collar-
bone. The missile did not get inside
the ribs, but ploughed upward and in-
• ward for a distance of some five
inches from where it entered.
The flesh along the course of the
bullet showed no discoloration today
and there appeared no cause for con-
cern.
Colonel Roosevelt, anxious that his
friends and particularly member* of
his family who were enroute to Chi-
cago. should not be unduly appre-
hensive at his condition, protested
against the edict barring callers from
his room, but acceded when all the
consulting physicians endorsed the
plan.
He was anxious to greet members
of his family: The first to see him
was his daughter, Mrs. Alice Lon*-
worth, whose train arrived from Cln-

Roosevelt Scorned Ordinary
Precautions Against Danger
will be kept as calm as possible as
$>ab
IIS
CHICAGO, Oct. 15—Although ha
realized fully the danger of the attem-
pted aaaassination to which he waa
exposed, Colonel Rooeevelt never gave
much heed to hi* personal aafety, and
seldom had the protection of a body-
guard after he left the White House.
He relied almost entirely upon his
own strength and agility to defend
himself. .
Colonel Roosevelt was asked recent-
ly whether he took any precautions to
protect himself. He replied that he
never worried about his own safety.
'When a man I do not know comes
up," he said. "I take one quick look
at his hands. If both hands are In
sight and empty, I think no more
about It. If a man attemptetd to draw
a weapon, well, I'm pretty quick my-
self."
Colonel Roosevelt has a philosophy
of his own. which has in it a tinge
of fatalism.
"When I was in the Spanish war,"
he said, "If there waa a charge to be
made, or a fort to be taken, I never
stopped to think of danger to myself.
After the charge had been made, or
the fort taken, I might have stopped
to think that I had had a close call,
but that was all."
It was the same way, explained he,
in his other affairs. He often gave
a hint of his views In his speeches,
saying that a leader In publlo life
should serve to spend and be spent,
and that whatever fate befel him he
should not complain If he were "bro-
ken and cast aside." He cared "not
a rap", he said, what fate befell him.
Colonel Roosevellt's expertness In
defending himself was demonstrated
by the manner In which he disposed of
a man who rushed at him through a
crowd in Fargo, N. D., two years ago.
As the man lunged at him, Colonel
Roosevelt shot out both hands and
grasped the man's right arm with a
vice-like grip, making it impossible
for him to draw a weapon. In a
flash he whirled the man about and
pushed him back off the platform.
"That was a trick I learned in the
cow country." he said.
The ex-president also knows some-
thing of jljitxu, and considers him-
self well able to handle an adversa-
ry who got within reach. He re-
alized, however, that his ability In
this direction waa no protetctlon from
the attack of a man in a crowd.
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt were
constantly in fear of some such hap-
pening as that of last night, especial-
ly during the heat of a political cam-
paign, but the Colonel himself laugh-
ed at their fears. He would have no
guards with him on his trips and, al-
though in the larger towns and cities
detachments of police were usually
assigned for his protection, at other
times on his journeys no such precau-
tion were taken. On his private car
during his present trip, aaide from
his secretaries and Dr. Terrell his
physician, were Colonel Cecil Lyon
of Texas and Philip Roosevelt, a
young cousin, one or both of whom
always accompanied the ex-president
on the watch for any sign of danger.
During Colonel Roosevelt's primary
campaign in the spring he took with
him Regis H. Post, former governor
of Porto Rico, and Travers D. Car-
men of New York, former football
player, who always rode on a run-
ning board of the Colonel's automo-
bile or cleared the way for him
through a crowd when they were
walking, but during the present cam-
paign Colonel Roosevelt dispensed
with this form of protection.
At home Colonel Roosevelt roams
through the woods about Sagamore
Hill, frequently walking 10 or 15
miles unattended. Not once at Saga-
more HUI has an attack on his life
been made, although during his term
as president a report was circulated
to the effect that he had been shot
at. When he is at home, Colonel
Roosevelt spends two hours each
morning on horseback and In the
afternoon to play tennis, row, chop
down trees or In the summer to go
Into the hay field. Colonel Roosevelt
has never used tobacco, seldom takes
alcoholic drinks and always insists
upon having eight hours sleep each
night. His mode of life .the physi-
cians believe, will play a large part
In helping In the present emergency.
Assassin Schrank Confessed
His Motives for the Shooting
(By Associated
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 15.—The police
tonight completed the work of tran-
scribing the confession of John
Schrank, given to Chief of Police
Janssen last night. , The detailed
confession is as follows:
Q.—What object did you have In
following around and trying to meet
Theodore Roosevelt?
A.—Well, because I have been read-
ing history and following up history,
and I have seen that this man Roose-
velt is trying to break one of the old
time customs of ths country, calling
it a third term, which he has no right
to. He can create a third party and
create all the offices, but to nominate
himself, and I think that it Is abso-
lutsly necessary to establish now and
have the third term tradition to exist
and not be violated by anybody.
Q.—Well, what did you havs in
mind to do when you went around in
these different places T
A.—I had In mind to meet him and
he esoaped Me every time. H* **
caped me in Atlanta and Chatta-
nooga.
Q.—He escaped what?
A—He has not come the way I ex-
pected, he did not come out the way
I expected. If he goes in a hall to-
day and speaks in a hall and he comes
in this way or that way, he goes out
a different way and ths man got
away.
Q—What did he escape from?
A—From the places I wanted to
meet him.
Q—Why did you want to meet him?
A—Because I wanted to put him
out of the way; a man that wants a
third term has no right to live.
Q—That Is you wanted to kill Mm?
A—I did.
Q—Have you any other reason In
wanting to kill him?
A—I have.
Q—What Is that?
A—I had a dream several years ago
in which Mr. McKlnley appeared to

CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 15 —The
porte ignores the Greek ultimatum re-
garding the Greek vessels which have
been seised, and baaed the recall of
the Turkish minister from Athens on
the admission by Greece of Cretan
deputies to the Greek parliament.
The ministers at Sofia and Belgrade
are recalled because of the peremp-
tory tone of the note sent by the Balk-
an states demanding the execution of
reforms in Macedonia.
Technically the action of the Turk-
ish government does not amount to
a declaration of war. because Turkey
has not given passports to the minis-
ters of those nations affected, and
thus put* the onus of a declaration of
war upon her opponent*.
The government announces it will
release the seised Greek vessels which
carry foreign owned cargoes.
Italy Now Neutral.
(By Associated Press)
Paris, Oct. IE.--Elation is general
In the chanoellorles of Europe tonight
on the success of their efforts to In
duce Turkey to conclude peace with
Italy. Pressure has been applied at
Constantinople by all the great powers
except Italy, for It was realised that
the end of the conflict would greatly
improve the chac.ces of localising war
in the Balkans. It eliminates com-
plications which were almost certain
to arise had Italy carried the war
Into Europe.
With Italy once more neutral, the
European concert Is again Intact with
Increased power to deal with the final
settlement of near east queatlona. It
is unlveraally conceded that the poal
tlon of the Ottoman empire haa been
enormously strengthened against the
Balkan coalition. It la also felt, how
ever, that Bulgaria has gone too far
to retreat and that the fortunes of
Servia and Greece are so bound up In
hers that the quarrels must be fought
out.
France is sounding the powers rela-
tive to calling an international con-
ference to settle the Balkan diffi-
culty.

Berlin. Oct. 15.—The German sec-
retary for foreign affairs. Herr Von
Kldderlln-Waechter, speaking at the
banquet of the Senior Merchants'
guild to the International conference
on exhibitions tonight said:
"We have firm and well grounded
confidence that none of the states
here represented will become directly
Involved In the events now'occurring
In the southeast of Europe. We
Wers forced some time ago to reckon
with the poaslblllty of a breach of the
peace. The powera therefore had
time to reach an understanding and
localize hostilities. We succeeded In
this and with good will on all sides,
will further succeed In preventing the
conflagration from leaping to neigh-
boring states and will peacefully car-
ry out whatever plans may become
necessary to restore proper balance.
This hope Is strengthened by the
peace protocol signed this evening be-
tween Italy and Turkey."
Turkey Did Not Reply.
(By Associated Press.
London. Oct. 15.—Turkey's refusal
to reply to the note of the Balkan
states will In all probability Impel
those states to address an actual ulti-
matum to the porte tomorrow before
commencing hostilities. The minis-
ters of Bulgaria, Servia and Greece are
still waiting In Constantinople, al-
though diplomatic relations are vir-
tually ended because of the recall of
the Turkish ministers from Sofia, Bel-
