THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, "RIDAY OCTOBER 18, 1912 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. Tax Collectors Notice.

C. . 9 “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.”’ Farm Loans.

(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. ° Public Sale The Southern Express Company will sell for charges, at public out cry, to the highest bidder. for cash, in the City of Fitzgerald, Ga.

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.
