Red Sox Capture 1
5 . |
Championship, 3 to 2
Boston, Mass., Oct. 16.--The
Red Sox pennant winners are
the world’s base ball champions
of 1912. Defeating the New York
National League team today byi
a score of 3 to 2 in teninnings of
a bitterly fought struggle, they
captured their fourth victory and
carried off the premier honors.
The Giants won three games
of the series—one was a time
game. More thana quarter of a
million people saw the eight
games at the ball parks in this
city and New York. Millions of
other people throughout the
world watched the progress of
the games from the bulletin
boards. The series was a tie
‘when the two teams met today,
" The total receipts for the eight
} games amounted to $490,833, and
each Ked Sox player received
$4,024, while the Giant players
each came in for $2,566.
Today’s was a game of excite
ment. Seventeen thousand per
isons—real fans, these—went out
to Fenway park, braved the bit
‘ ter cold weather to see the teams
Dbattle in what proved to be the
lfinal struggle for supremacy.
Most of these 17,000 fans had
seen every game played at Fen
way park in this city. and many
of them also had seen the games
played in New York.
Never was a ball game more
hotly contested, and it was not
until the tenth inning that Yerkes
‘wearing the Red Sox, flashed
‘over the plate with . the winning
run.

“Jedge Briles” Hears
. 1)
From Old “Friend.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 17.—“‘Jedge
Briles’’ was awakened early this
morning to receive a telegram
from Macon. It was signed Hub
Talley, and it said:
“How do you like your new
boss?’’ ,
The recorder had a hearty
laugh at his own expense, and
later showed the wire to his
friends. ‘“‘Hub’’ Talley, as will
be recalled, was at one time the
‘ worst police court offender in At
lanta. He was sent to.the chain
-Igansz on an average of once a
month, and when he escaped or
was released he straightway
committed some other deviltry
that put him back again. He
was a boot-legging blind tiger, a
petty thief, a penny-pilferer, a
drunkard and a bum. With all
those disadvantages Hub had a
certain personality of his own,
and the police were always kind
to him. Aside from cheating
them out of their eye-teeth, Hub
never harmed a man, woman or
child in his life. He was more
dishonest than vicious. The re
corder saw his smiling face time
after time at the bar of justice
until the two became familiar ac
quaintances if not friends. Finally
Hub was'adjudged érazy and sent
off to Milledgeville, much to the.
disappointment of the recorder’s
court reporters. That was the
last heard of him until the receiv
ing of his characteristically witty
and impertinent telegram from
Macon. How he got out of the
asylum, or how he got meney
enough to send a telegram are
mysteries which the local detec
tives cannot solve.
The wire referred, of course,l
to the election of Jim Woodward.
Ball Flattened On Roose
y @
velt's Rib, X-Ray Shows
Doctors Say He Had Remarkable Strength to
Speak --Not Permitted to Talk--Mrs. Roose
velt Closely Guarding the Patient--Will
Not be Permitted to Do Camaigning
--Wants to Make One Address
. In Madison Square Garden,
Chicago, Oct. 16.—The first X-ray examination print showing
the bullet in Colonel Roasevelt’s chest was developed late this after
noon. The bullet is shown partly embedded in the fracture in the
fourth rib, about four inches from the sternum. The bullet flat
tened and spread out of shape, is crusned into the ribs. Several
pieces of bone projects near it.
The radiograph shows an extraordinary spread and arch to
the uninjured ribs indicating the unusual size of the Colonel’s lungs
and development of his chest. .
The position of the bullet is at the lower corner of the right
angled triangle, the apex of which is the middle of the sternum
perpendicularly opposite the missle and the other corner of which
is the suprasternal notch. Wires laid on Colonel Roosevelt’s chest
to form a guiding line on the plate show the exact location of the
bullet with the ribs and sternum.
The surgeons in charge of the case from the first have re
fused to state in any manner whether the flesh was lacerated in
the passage of the bullet. No information on this point ean be ob
tained from the skiagraph.
Dr. Terrell says its course probably was affected in the flesh
through which it passed. The radiograph does not clearly show
its present position.
Present day sportsmen hunt grizzly bears with weapons of
less caliber than the 33 revolver with which the heavy lead bullet
was fired into the colonel. The usual caliber for big game is 36 and
the colonel has killed lions in Africa with smal'er bullets than that
in his chest. That he could stand up and make a speech with a3B
caliber bullet flattened against one of his ribs is admitted by the
surgeons to be remarkable.
~ As soon as Mrs. Roosevelt arrived she took charge of the
colonel’s affairs.
Mrs. Roosevelt installed herself in a room adjoining that of
her husband and daring the day seldom left his bedside. Mrs.
Roosevelt decreed that the colonel must see no visitors except the
family. Once or twice during the day, however, she made excep
tions.
The colonel was ‘‘feeling fine’’ and ready to receive the visi
tors, but Mrs. Roosevelt gave him no opportunity to pass upon her
ruling. She received the cards and messages for her husband and
sent back her replies with the result that the colonel himself did
not know who called to see him. _
It was learned today that the X-ray photo which was taken
in Milwaukee a few hours after Col. Roosevelt was shot. did not
show accurately the location of the bullet, and another photo was
taken this evening. It is probable after the plate is developed, if
good results are obtained, a decision will be reached as to whether
the bullet will be removed.
. The fracture of the rib explained the pain which Col. Roose
velt suffered in breathing deeply.
The impression grew today that Jol. Roosevelt would be able
to do little or nothing more in the campaign. Although he ex
pressed the hope of leaving for Oyster Bav on Sunday, it is prob
able he will be compelled to remain here a week or more longer and
that after his arrival home he will not ibe permitted to campaign
again.
It is Col. Roosevelt’s desire to make at least one more speech
before election day. If he can do nothing else he hopes to speak
in Madison Square Garden.
Eugene Debs’ Comment
On Roosevelt Shooting
Atlanta, Oct. 16.—Eugene V.
Debs, presidential nominee of
the socialist party last night
made the following comment on
the attempted assassination of
Col. Roosevelt in a speech at a
local auditorium:
““It was with the deepest re
gret that I learned of the insane
attack on Col. Roosevelt’s life.
Every good citizen sympathizes
with him and with his family.
While we differ with him in poli
itics we must deprecate this at
ta 'k on the part of amad manand
I am exceedingly glad to see that
reports from Col. Roosevelt show
that his condition is favorable.
With all my heart I pray that he
may recover from this attempt to
strke him down and take his life.
I only wish that every one could
realize that nothing ever can be
gained by violence.”’

(Queen Victoria’s Bible
Shows a Devout Mind
~ London, Oct. 14.-—Some inter
lesting Bibles are to be seen in
‘their royal pew at Crathie church
‘where the king andj queen
of England and their fam
ilies worship each Sunday while
at Balmoral. Those of the late
Queen Virgia and prince consort
‘remain in the same position they
}occupied half a century ago.
~ Her late majesty’s Bible is
lined in places, and has marginal
remarks in pencil in her own
handwriting, singularly clear in
parts. King Edward’s Bible,
printed for him in large, clear
type he liked, is also in its niche,
beautifully bound in dark purple
leather, with the -crown and
cipher in gold. ,
Another Bible of interest is the
one used by the late Empress
Frederick as a girl, which has her
pet name, ‘‘Wicky,” and the
date, 1840. inscribed on it in her
mother’s handwriting. °

“To Live Long--Marry”
M. Jacques Bertillion, of
Paris, Backs it Up With
Statistics--Less Crime
Also, He Says.
“To live long, get married.”’
This is the advice of M. Jac
ques Bertillion, chief of the bu
reau of municipal statistics of
Paris and brother of M. Alphonse
Bertillon, establisher of the Ber
tillon system of criminal indenti
fication, says the Baltimore Sun.
M. Jacques spoke at Johns
Hopkins University on ‘‘Statisti
cal Demonstration of the physical
and Moral Advantages of Mar
riage and Family.”’
‘‘Not only is marriage conduc
tive to long life, but it lessens
criminal and suicidal inclina
tions,”’ M. Bertillon continued,
and he demonstrated it by charts
showing statistics, taken in
France and Switzerland. He said
the same was true of all coun
tries. ;
‘‘Statistics show,’’ he declared,
“that mortality among married
persons is much less than that of
unmarried persons of both sexes.
Marriage, tends to long life. My
statement is unbiased on figures
—what the reasons may beis an
other subject. Perhapsthe most
obvious explanation is that mar
ried people lead a more steady
and a more even life. Men look
after their health for the sake
of their wives and children. Com
paratively few married men are
drunkards and few are criminals.
They ave airaid tobe, for it wou l
bring shame on their families,
and any reasonable and right
thinking man naturally seeks to
spare his family from shame and
worry.
““The moral affect of marriage
is also evident. Our statistics
show that criminal women for the
most part are unmarried. Most
evil-doing men are unmarried.
These are facts. which prove
that married people keep their
mental equilibrium. In other
words, married people are better
morally
*““The influence of a family and
of a home isalways good for man
and woman, This perhaps is not
evident to any marked degree,
but statistics demonstrate that
crime and suicide are less preva
lent among our married folk.
“Young ladies and young gen
tlemen, if you wish to live long,
get married. ,
M. Bertillon speaks little Eng
lish and he delivered his lecture
in French.
He is staying at the Baltimore
Club, and will visit the copper
smelting industries near the city,
leaving later for New York. He
is on a lecture tour of the United
States and intends to remain on
this side for several weeks.
