SCORING BEGAN
EARLY FOR GAME
IN RED SOM
I ———
BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 12.—The Bos
ten Bed Sox are the champions of the
world in baseball by reason of .their
victory this afternoon over the Brook
lyn Trolley Dodgers by a score of 4 and
1- Boston won four games, and Brook
lyn only three that victory being on
Monday by a score of 4 and 3.
Cornered with three defeats and only
one victory, the Brooklyn Trolley
Dodgers made an aggressive stand on
the Braves’ field in Boston this after
noon. It was their last chance to
prevent the Red Sox from taking the
honors as champion of the world, for
their defeat the necessary four games
won would be marked up in the Boston
column.
The early air is crisp and cool but
the official forecaster at 9 o’clock this
morning thought the south winds pre
vailing then would temper the air by
t>'me the game begins. Many of the fans
who turned out early to secure bleach
er seats kept themselves warm by clus
tering about bon-fires built within the
park enclosure.
Undaunted by the weather, and their
three defeats the Trolley Dodgers were
high in spirits, and Manager Wilbur
F Robertson trusted that some of the
breaks would come his way. He
chose big Pfeffer to start the game for
Brooklyn, with Big Chief Meyers
catching.
Manager Carrigan was just as sure
that the Red Sox will clinch their title
as the world’s champs in this after
noon’s game, and with that desire he
sent Shore and Cady in as the Boston
battery to begin the game.
Shorten went in the outfield to take
Walker’s place for Boston, and Sten
gel was shoved into the game to take
Johnston’s position. Jake Daubert
returned to first base, displacing Mer
kle, for Brooklyn.
The line-up was:
BOSTON— , BROOKLYN—
Hooper, rs Meyers, cf
Janvrin, 2b Daubert, lb
Shorten, cf Stengel, rs
Lewis, If Cutshaw, 2b
Hoblitzel, cf Wheat, If
Gardner, 3b Mowrey, 3b
Scott, ss Olson, ss
Cady, c Meyers, c
Shore, p .... Pfeffer, p
(lame, Play by Play.
Brooklyn Myers fanned. Cady
threw out Daubert. Stengel was safe,
when Scott threw wild. Wheat fouled
cut to Hoby. No runs; no hits.
Boston —Cutshaw threw out Hooper.
Mowrey was out to Janvrin. Short
flied out to W’heat. No runs; no
bits.
Second Inning.
Brooklyn—Cutshaw walked, and
Mowrey sacrificed him to second.
Gardner threw Olson out, Cutshaw
moving up to third. Cutshaw scored
on a passed ball. Scott threw out Big
Chief Meyers, who returned behind the
platter for the game. ONE run; no
nits.
Boston —Pfeffer threw out Hoblitzel,
and again Hoby is short for Hoblitzel.
Lewis tripled, and scored when Gard
ner flied out to Wheat. Scott fouled
out to Myers. Score tied, one and one.

■IS THAT
OBEY 5 BOAT SUNK
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 12.
Rear Admiral Gleaves, commanding
the Atlantic destroyer flotilla reported
today his personal belief that no
steamer Kingston or Kingstonia had
been sunk by German submarines dur
ing the operations off Nantucket. Con
tinued search has failed to reveal evi
dence that such a ship was in the vi
cinity Sunday, and it is believed now
that the name Knudson was misunder
stood for Kingston. If this theory is
correct only five vessels were sunk
by the Germans.
Destroyers Patrol Coast.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. —Indications
that a naval patrol is on duty along
the North Atlantic coast today were
contained in the statement given by
Capt. Rockledge of the steamer Mun
amar, from Cuban ports, who reported
that American destroyers circled his
ship off the Jersey coast until he
showed his colors.
Officials Maintain Silence.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 12.
State and navy department officials
this afternoon continued to refuse to
comment on the report of Rear Ad
miral Knight at Newport, giving de
tails of the sinking of four steamers
during Sunday by submarines. Indi
cations are, however, that the whole
situation has been practically cleared
up already.
OTTO? oFbAVAHIA.
IS BEPOBTEB DEAD
LONDON, Oct 12—Former King Otto
of Bavaria, who has been insane dur
ing many years, died suddenly today,
according to a Copenhagen dispatch,
quoting a Berlin official announcement
of the king’s demise. “The Mad Mon
arch,” as he had been referred to
since being bereft of reason, had long
been confined in various castles with
in his kingdom, and his death will in
no wise affect the governmeftt of Ba
varia, one of the principal kingdoms

DANISH INDIES NOW
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 12.
Two-thirds of the native population of
the Danish West Indies are in dire

third need shelter, the result of hurri

AMERICUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. OCTOBER 12, 1916
DR. BURROWS WILL RE
AT FURLOW CHURCH
Rev. Lansing Burrows, D. D. t will
preach at Furlow Lawn Baptist church
a. 11 a. m. next Sunday. Dr. Burorws
is quite popular with this church, as
well as in the whole city, and he will
doubtless be heard by a large congre
gation.
Rev. Robt. L. Bivins will preach at
Pleasant Grove at 11 a. m. Sunday

START TICK WORK
FOR mini NOW
WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 12.—The
interests shown by the people of Flor
ida in tick-eradication work has led
the U. S. Department of Agriculture to
establish a branch headquarters foi
that state at Jacksonville, Fla. The
work in Florida heretofore was di
rected from the Atlanta, Ga., office.
Dr. E. M. Nighbert, heretofore in
charge at Atlanta, will be assigned
with a corps of veterinarians to Jack
sonville and will pay special at
tention to encouraging the building of
vats and supervising the building of
vats in Florida.
The Atlanta office will be maintain
ed and Dr. W. M. MacKellar, who di
rected the forces which were success
ful in eliminating cattle ticks from the
entire state of California, will direct
the work in Georgia. The Federal au
thorities believe that ticks will be
eradicated from Georgia in a short
time and that the opening of the
Jacksonville headquarters will be fol
lowed by marked progress in freeing
areas in Florida from quarantine.
The people of Texas also are taking
a great interest in tick eradication,
not only in the 18 western counties
where work has been proceeding but
also in a large group’ of counties in
the southeastern corner of the state.
To enable the people of this section
to inaugurate work at once to free
their territory from ticks, the Bureau
of Animal Industry has opened a
special branch headquarters in Hous
ton and will assign a veterinary force
to work in these counties. The peoplel
ir this southeastern section are par-|
ticularly anxious to free their terri
tory from ticks because of the likeli
hood that the adjoining counties in
ouisiana, following the passage of a
compulsory tick-eradication law in
that state, shortly will be freed.
NO HERO RAGE FOB
TOM WATSON NOW
Tom Watson will not run for the
presidency on the Progressive ticket,
or any other kind of ticket —and that’s
what Tom says. It will be greeted with
mingled surprise and regret in Geor
gia.
In his weekly paper this week he
says:
“Had I been offered the place which
Mr. Roosevelt declined, soon after he
declined it, my acceptance would have
been as prompt as his declination. But
it is now too late.
“I can not accept the place, nor
can I allow the use of my name on
the ticket.
“This decision has been reached af
ter careful consideration and after
consultation with friends whose judg
ment is not influenced by any partisan
bias. THOS E. WATSON.
"Oct. 9, 1916.”
Mr. Daniel, it is stated, will move into
his new quarters in a few days. He
lost his former business seevral weeks
ago by fire.

IMS. EVEBELT DIES
IT MIDNIGHT AFTER
LONG ILLNESS HERE
Mrs. Charlie Hitt Everett, the wife
cf Edward B. Everett, passed away at
midnight, following an illness of some
months, which for a greater portion of
the lime had necessitated her confine
ment at home. Although many friends
knew of her condition, they had bright
hopes that she would soon recover, but
the Grim Reaper unscathed his scythe
and deprived Americus of one of her
most honored and lovable women.
Mrs. Everett was born forty years
ago in Americus, and had lived here
during all of her life. For several
years she was president of the Asso
ciated Charities, and in this grateful
work of a magnanimous heart she
won the endearing friendship of many
who appreciated her service for man
kind and humanity. She was a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church, and
in assisting in the noble work which
has marked her life, she passes with
the bowed head of many bereaved
friends and relatives.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Everett is
survived by two daughters, Misses
Claire and Marguerite Everett; two
sons, Edward, Jr., and Charles Ever
ett; three sister. Mrs. A. N. Houston
and Misses Daisy and Marion Hitt, all
of Atlanta.

I. N. 5. IN ENGLAND
LONDON, Oct. 12.—The British offi
cial press bureau has issued the fol
lowing:
“The following statement is placed
at the disposal of the press for publi
cation: In the house of commons on
June 27 last, the secretary of state for
the home department stated that at
tention had been drawn to an alleged
telegram rlating to the Jutland battle
which appeared in cerain American
newspapers as having been sent from
ondon by the correspondent of the In
ternational News Service. No such
message was included in any telegram
sent from this country.
“The home secretary referred on
the same occasion to previous cases in
which messages which purported to
be from the London correspondent of
the International News Service bore
no likeness to the cablegram actually
. dispatched.
“On the first occasion referred to
the manager of the International News
Service in New York gave categorical
assurance that such an incident should
not happen again. On the second oc
casion he made like promises, stating
that orders had been given that ex
traneous statements should not be in
serted in cable dispatches.
“On the third of September cable
grame were published in the United
States, purporting to have come from
ondon “by International News Ser
vice,’’ giving various false statements
about the air raid of the previous
night. None of the statements in ques

cablegram dispatched by the London
correspondent of the International
News service.
“In view of this continued garbling
of messages and breach of faith on
the part of the International News
Service, the secretary of state has di
rected that no representative of the
International News Service shall be
permitted to use the official press bu -
reau and that the agency shall be de
barred from the use of all other facil
ities for the transmission of news until
further notice.’ ' *

BELIEVER IN WILSON
ATLANTA Ga., Oct. 12—That the
democratic state executive committee
cf Georgia do not regard indorsement
cf Woodrow Wilson and the demo
cratic administration of national af
fairs as “an insult” to men who par
ticipated in the recent democratic state
primary, was conclusively and strik
ingly demonstrated yesterday when
members of the committee greeted the
mention of the presidnt’s nam with
spontaneous applause.
John D. Walker, of Sparta, chair
nan of th£ democratic campaign com
mittee in Georgia, went before the
;iate executive committee to call their
attention to the raising of campaign
funds in this state, and to ask the
members of the committee to push
along subscriptions to the Wilson fund
in their respective counties.
At the first mention of President
Wilson’s name by Mr. Walker, the

Mexico today. The report, made to su

American troops would go after Villa
with the masked purpose of seizing
anw annexing the country.
