McCombs inquired of the committee whether contributions made prior to 1912. but aiding in the Wilson pre-con vention fight, were to be considered. "Undoubtedly anything relating to the candidacy of Mr. Wilson is important," replied Senator Clapp. The witness then stated that during the early part of the Wilson campaign lie had expended much money himself, citing one instance wherein lie had contributed SIO,OOO.

Odds Are Now 3 to 1 Against McGraw’s Team—Small Crowd on Hand Today. •F NEW YORK. net. 14.—Crow-tfe xvbfcb had hitherto besieged the Polo grounds to get good seats for the games thj»re between the Giants and Red Sox in the world’s championship baseball games were! aching today. Less than twenty persons were-in line outside the park at daybreak. This was partly due to tbe raw weather which prevailed, but more gen erally to the belief that Che Giants were out of the running and would not fig ure in this afternoon's contest. Although the weather was hazy, there was no sign of rain. It was cool. The field was In good condition, and there was no doubt as to the games being played. , Boston fans offered 8 to I on the outcome of the series, and 10 to 8 on this afternoon’s game As the Sox needed only one more game, while the Giants needed three consecutive victories, the local rooters were cautious about taking betting risks. The pitching probabilities forth» sixth game of the series were Ray Col lins or O’Brien, for Boston, and Mar quard or Crandall, for New York. Although Marquard’s arm was a lit tle lame, he pleaded that Manager Johr J. McGraw of the Giants send him in against the Red Sox, to see If he couldn’t stem the tide of disaster which had overwhelmed the New Yorks. Manager Jake Stahl of the Sox heli "Smoky Joe" Wood tn reserve. Al- * though the Sox had won three of the four games necessary to insure the ehampionship of the world. Stahl was cautious and refused to make any pre dictions. "Os course, we expect to win th* world's championship." he said. Manager McGraw, for fear of causing further discouragement to an already downcast team, talked optimistically when asked what he thought of the chances. "While, we have to win three straight games, I believe the boys are equal to the occasion," said he. "It is a big fight, but we are fighting to the last ditch The club has been playing far below its form. ’ Players Sore Over Criticism. Trouble has broken out among the Giants because of criticism of the play ers. Center Fielder Snodgrass is angry because of criticism poured upon hii head by McGraw - Saturday for mishan dling Yerkes' long fly, which allowed the runner to take three bases, whereas the Giant manager thought tiiat the hit should have been only a single. Dissension has been caused by criti cism of the players who are writing expert criticism of the games for New York newspapers. Mathewson, who pitched Saturday’s game, attributed his defeat to Snod grass' play. Some <sf the players are not mt speaking terms wit It each other as a result v>f newspaper reports. There was a possibility that tomor row s game, if it was necessary, would be played in New York. Members of the national commission announced that if the Giants woji today they would flip a coin to choose the scene of Tuesday's struggle. Both teams felt better physically to day. Crowd Is Slim.
