MACON, GA., MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1908 DAILY, $7.00 A YEAH, WHEN BILL DONOVAN WEAKENED THE CHICAGO CUBS HAMMERED OUT VERY BRILLIANT VICTORY Detroit’# Great Pitcher Was Invincible Until the Eighth TINKER’S NOME RUN RATTLED THE TIGERS pvmll TwfrM Maeterty Baft ThrsughotiV-Cub# Mad* Six Run* In Ona Inning—Ty Cobb's Single Soorad Datrolt’a Only Tally—Sev enteen Thousand Attended. CHICAGO, Oct. 1L—After eight In nings of clockwork baseball today "Wild Bill" Donovan, premier pitcher of the champions of the American League, weakened under the prq- of the present serlc* 6 to 1. Detroit’s hopes, which * were high after seven innings in which Chicago had made only one hit, were dashed In the eighth. In that sensational portion of the game Donovan was hit for a home run, a triple, a double and three sin gles . Incidentally he walked one man and allowed another to score on a wild pitch. Overall, on the contrary, was steady throughout the game, bolding the "Tigers” to four hits and one run. That run marked Detroit's despairing effort In their half of the ninth. Nothing could have exceeded the excellence of Donovan’s work up to that fatal eighth. He had speed, an assortment of curves which he mixed up In baffling stylo, and ho cut the corner’s with great precision and struck out the redoubtable Kllng. Not until the fifth did the world’s cham pions connect with his wizard curves. Then the distinction fell to Overall, who, conslderlnff^he high class of ball be pitched, did not need the added glory,. But he did It—poked a short fly just beyond*'Downs and thtf Chi cago enthusiasts cried loudly for a run.. It was th« first legitimate chance for rjddlng themselves of their excitement. Donovan, howover. only smiled and a moment later the side was retired on a slashing doublo plcy. Not a runner of oltner side reached first base until the third. Then Over all passed Downs nnd the -latter was This was further than Chicago wejit. Overall reach** first because Ross- man. who stopped his grounder. In stead of covering "The bag himself, waited for Donovan to do so and the latter dropped the throw. But. the Chicago pitcher got no further. Again in the sixth Overall reached the Ini tial brfg on his single, but with these two exceptions Chicago could do noth ing with Donovan’s delivery. Thnt was up to the eight Then It was different. Overall’s pitching wan masterly. He was found for only four scattered hits, no two of which cameNn the same inning, and ono of which has to be counted because Overall aM Kllng both went after pchaefer’a bunt and, each stopping for the other to field it, It went for a hit. Ho Issued passes twice. Craw ford and McIntyre, who hit above .800 all season, were unable to con nect safely with his delivery. That he was effective In holding down Crawford with the >lnd of ball he rltched was remarked by critics of the game. Crawford is known as one of the surest bittern of a high ball In olthcr league; yet Overall curved • them around his neck or shot thorn straight across without getting Into trouble. Each side was credited with nn error, but neither of them figured in the iwnre. • \ Up to the eighth the game was a pitcher’s battle, with both sides for the most part going out one, * two. three. It began to look as If the ex perience of last year’s championship scries when the same pitchers worked would be repeated, namely, a tie game. To Joe Tinker belongs the credit for breaking tho spell which Donovan had held over the Chlcagoftns for so long. Stctnfeldt had struck out, and Hoffman had reached first because Schaefer, after a beautiful one-handed pick up of his weak grounder, had thrown low. The crowd scarcely hoped for more than a single, and hardly expected that, when Tinker came to bat. Donovan sent a fast waJat-hlgh Inshoot over the , plate, that Is to say, partly over the plat*. It never got all the way, for th* stocky Chicago shortstop who had already popularised himself by fast, clean fielding, swung viciously. The ball soared high, ao high that ft seem ed certain It must drop Into Cobb’s bands, as that fielder was playing welt back as a result of previous experi ence with Tinker. But there was an unusual amount of energy back of the hit. and 1ft sAlled Into the stand in light field. Tinker, preceded by Hoff man. trotted around the circuit amid the first real cheering of the game. Manager Jennings sought to persuade Umpire Klem that the hit should go for only two base*, but Klem only amll«d. The ground rules provided that hits into th# overflow crowd should restrict the runner to two base*, but this cer tainly had nothing to do with that tre mendous wallop of Tinker’s. The ap plication of the rule was Illustrated by the next man at the bat, "Noisy" John Kllng. Kllng drove the first ball pitched Into the second base. This onslaught had affected Donovan, but he •till smiled and retired Overall on a weak grounder. He went to pieces, however, when ffheckard, the next bats- KICK ON HEAD KILLS PLAYER CANNONSDURG. Ps., Oct. 11.— man, singled over second and scored Kllng. The whole team. In fact, seem ed to be stunned by tho suddenness of it all. Schekard made a desperate steal and went to third on fiver’s safe bunt. Roisman in a moment of ab sent-mindedness brought about by the general oatastrophs that had happened to Detroit's aspirations, altewed fivers to flaah away from first and reach second standing up while the ball re mained In the first baseman’s hands. Bchulte trlppled to deep oenter, scor ing Sheckard and fivers. Then, to fin ish matters up, Donovan made h wild pitch, and Bchulte trotted across the plate with Chicago’s ninth and last ball on Detaoit’s sudden fall In for tune. but Stelnfeidt flow out, retir ing the side. Detroit substituted D. Jones for O’Leary for a final try lor victory and the substitute was given his base on balls. Ho went to second on Craw ford’s out and scored when Cobb sin gled to oenter. Rossmag, however, hit Into a deuble play, and the game was The attendance, duo largely to* tho chilly weather, was only 17,760 paid ad missions, according to the official fig ures made public after the game.

NEW YORK PATROLMEN WORK FOR HUGHES’ DEFEAT NEW YORK, Oct. 11—The police of New York state have been urged to accomplish the defeat of Governor Hughes because he vetoed the three platoon bill passed by the last legis lature. John W. Griffin, president of the New York State Patrolmen’* Asso- elation, has sent letters to every mem ber of hi* organisation calling up>n them to support the- democratic can didate. In his letter President Griffin reviews the history of the fight for the three platoon bill and says that It received much secret opposition, which was di rected by Senator Horace White, now republican candidate for - lieutenant governor.

Brown, d- uvu ratlo candidate for governor, a total vote of 113,665, and that of his opponent. William Yancy Carter, 12.41L*. making Mr. Brown’s majority, 101,143, the greatest ever given a candlate for gov ernor of Georgia. A curious co-ln- cidenco Is that Mr. Brown received within a fow thousands the same vote in the general, election as ho got In the primary. Judge Lindsey Eleoted Safely. It Is not improbable that tho official returns to the secretary of state will disclose a larger vote than tho un official figures give to Mr. Brown. Until they are received the ox.iot vole polled for disfranchisement nnd pen sion commissioner will not be known, though It Is certain that tho amend ment was approved by a big majority and that Judge J. W. Lindsey, present incumbent, won the latter, place by a safe vote. With a half dozen counties missing, the vote for disfranchisement was 70.968, and against 37,001, With about the same number of counties yet to be heard from, Judge Lindsey re ceived a vote of 55,093 for pension commissioner; Capt. A. J. McBride getting 19,608, and all the others re ceiving only 21,991. This Insures a safe majority to Lindsey who will re main in office. Gqvernor- Elect to Resume Tour.

Fournier is remembered a* being the first driver who did a mile under a minute In America, when he won the Coney Is land boulovard mile event In 61 4-6 seconds In Novomber, 1967.

DES MOINES, Oot. ll T Iowa gave President Roosevelt In 1904* a plurality of 158,766 votes. It would seem In credible that the democrat* should be solemnly talking about having pros pects of carrying the sfote, and that the republicans should have tho slfaht cst doubt about the electoral vote of Iowa bdng given to Taft by aji «*nor mous figure. And y<»t on careful Hi qulry here at the capital of the stuto and tho center of its politics one finds plenty of republicans who are saying there will bo a heavy slump on the!* 1 sldo of the fence, and that the situa tion U fat* from being us satisfactory es they could delsre. Most republicans who know any thing of conditions In tho state de clare that Taft ivli: carry Iowa, but that for this state the plurality will ho low. From 80,007 to 40,000 is the pre vailing estimate of Tsft’s plurality among well advised republic ins. This would be the lowest republican plu rality In Iowa sine** the 1892 election. In 1896 Bryan loet the state by over 65,000, and In 1000 by ovor 98,000. In 1892 the republican plurality was up word or 28,000. Few republicans who have an understanding of Iowa ven ture to put Mr. Taft's plurality at over 60.000. This would mean that Bryan had made distinct gains In th« Hawk- eye State and that he has made such gains Is pretty generally admitted. Mr. Bryan’s repeated visit* to Iowa In thfa campaign point to the f#et ho has hopes of carrying the state. It u true some of the more timid repub licans are shaking their heads and say ing they don’t Uke the looks of thltiga, but on the whole there Is little In the situation to warrant the belief that there is any need for republican appre hension, save to the »l*e of the plu rality. As ths situation stands today It looka as If it would be tmposglble for tho republicans to prevent Bryan getting a larger vote In tho state than ever before, with a corresponding de cline for the republican candidate. What’s the Csuss? Whst are the causes that will ope rate to cut down the republican voti in this region of rock-ribbed republl cans, as It has usually been consider ed? This question has been put to a Henry Wliitu Fires on Thoms Allen and Wife—Lynch ing Results EMPIRE, G«„ Oct. 11—Literally riddled with bullets, tho dead body of Henry White, colored.- was feund by Sheriff Taylor, of Dodge county, thlo morning In a piece of woods about one mile from Yunker, a small stalton oast of this place on tho Wrlghtsvllle & Tennllle railway. Tho negro White brio yesterday aft ernoon went to the home of Thomas Allen, a respected citizen, and fired at Mr. and Mrs. Alien, It Is stated. The negro.

They say that In the Unit place the democrats are united this year, that whatever democratic vote Roosevelt got will this year be cast for Bryan. Further than thla, they pretty generally admit the great bulk of organized labor In Iowa, and It Is a large vote, will this year go to Bryan. It wo* cast for Roose velt In 1904. and has been for tho moet part republican. A furthor factor In the situation Is the nomination of Representative Jas. H. Bherman on the ticket with Judge Taft. Mqny Iowa republicans wore anxious to have a western man put on the ticket with Tuft. They would have been ploased at the nomination of Sen ator Dolllver or Governor Cummins. Then, If one turns to the ranks of tho standpatters and searches their ranks for some of the r *J**ea of re publican weakness, he will find that the more ardent of them look upon Taft as too genulnp a tariff revisionist to most their approval.

Interest on the Atlanta-Birmtngham first 4s, was due September 1 and re mains unpaid. In the mortgage secur ing the Issue, three months' grnc#» Is allowed before bondholdwra can begin foreclosure procor ‘ngs. If the Sea board Air Line receivers do not pny the overdue Interest on Atlanta-BImi- lngham first 4s before' December 1, then n majority of tin* hmidholrler* may decide to foroclos* nnU operate khe company 6ndepcnderstly # of th* Seaboard Air Line.

I* Valuable Property. .While the Atlanta-Blrmlngham di vision Is bondod for 15,760,000 the co#t largely oxoeeds that amount. Thla Is demount rated by tho Meahosrd Air I.tne balance sheet for th* year ended Juno 30, 1907, whpro advances to the Atlanta-'HIrmlngham dlvjalon of almost $4,960,000 nre whown. Furthermore, railroad experts of prominence have lately Inspected th* latter line, und they report that a sum equal to all the outstanding first 4s, plus $2,900,- 000, would not suffice to duplicate the Atlanta-Rlrmlnghsm. The line Is well constructed, and although the country traversed Is mountainous, yet grads* average less than 1 Per cent. A few wooden trestles require filling In, but otherwlso th* line needs no large ex penditures for some ywtre to come.

In stead of 25 per cent. It Is generally recognized that the Seaboard Air Line Is not In good Dhy- slcal condition and will require largo outlays (Wr 'rebuilding, florrm rail road authorities say that the Atlanda- Hlrmlngham Is the only portion of tne former aystom In thoroughly good or der. This bolng tho cue* and con sidering the value to the Seaboard of an entrance to Birmingham, uie re ceivers may decide to pay the overdue coupons on Atlanta-Blrmlngham first 4s, and grant the latt*r uompany a larger proportion of revenue received from business Interchanged.
