DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 14.—"I want to
say for the Detroit club that they played
baseball; they played fast baseball; and
they played It like gentlemen and sports
men. I cannot say too much In praise
of their sportsmanship and courtesy.
Throughout the entire series there was
not even a small dispute between the
two teams, the friendliest feelings exist

team, but 1 think the Chicago team Is

Summary.
Two-base Hits—McIntyre, Evers.
Sacrifice Hits—Schulte, Stelnteldt, Over-
the Chicago team of the National
league retained Its title aa the cham
pion baseball tram of tho world. De
troit snatched one victory out of the flvo
games played.
The Chicago team, according to the
critics, showed superiority in every de
partment of the came In the senes ss a
whole, although this superiority was not
so apparent on the day that Detroit bat
ted a victory off Pfelster** curves. De
troit was handicapped by Schmidt's In
ability to cut down runners-at second
and by the.failure of her heavy hitting
outfield to hat when hits meant runs.
None of the Detroit pitchers seemed abls
<o consistently puzzle the Chicago bats
men. Throughout the series Chicago s
hitting was opportune. The occasions
were rare when with men on bases and
runs needed a Chicago batsman was not
thsrs tylth the needed hit. •
The ram4s were singularly free from
squabbling and on< only two or three
occasions W4re thh decisions of the um
pires questioned. The series created less

with $101,000 last year. The attendance
at the Anal game this afteraqon was

Of the money taken In the Play?** of
Chicago, the winning team got $27.6«9
fcnd the Detroit plavers 118.446. The
club owners got $19,881 apiece and the
rational commission $9,497.
When the last man on the Detroit aide
went out today the pendulum of victory
ceased its swing between the two
leagues. In 1903 the world’s champion
ship emblem went to Boston of the
Amsrlran league: in the succeeding se
ries New York brought It back to the
National league. In the following year
the Chicago "White Box" recaptured it
for the younger organization. Last year
the Chicago "Cubs" brought It back to
the National league by .defeating De

Text of Address.
Mr. Brown's address Is as follows:
To the People of Georgia: It Is my
pleasure, as It Is my duty, to express
my profound thanks for the exnltod
honor which you, by your suffrages,
conferred upon me, the democratic
nominee for governor, October 7.
well night supreme, when it Is borne
well night supremo, when It Is homo
In mind that democrats, populists and
republicans Joined In the voto which
spoke the mandate of our state. Hence,
to the citizens of all parties who voted
for me in the white primary? to those
who supported my distinguished oppo
nent In that primary, and who later,
obeyed the dictates of honor with tho
bohest of tho primary, and to all other
voters who cast their Initial ballots for
me In the election. I will say that in
tho administration of the high office to
which you have called me, I shall know
no faction, no party. And I -will add
that I shall not look with favor, nor
with prejudice, upon any class. "Equal
rights to all. special privileges to none,
special burdens upon none," shall bo
my guiding motto.
Will of People Rule of Action.
Recognizing that the will of tho peo
ple, as embodiod In tho statute law, Is
our rulo of action, I shall enforce that
will by the orderly methods it pre
scribes. Recognizing that reason welds
together. white denunciation drives
asunder, I shall pursuo that course
which my Judgment teaches me tends
to securing a united citizenry. And lot
me urge you, ' my fellow citizens, to
Join me In the resolution to put be
hind us the asperities of the past, to
remember that we are Georgians and
that In Georgia’s weal Is our common
Interest our common Joy.
The necessity for this course Is man
Jfest when we. hold In mind how great
a number of our fellow citizens aro out
of employment, hence unable to securo
for their families the plainest things
needed for sustaenanco and comfort. I
admit that the greatest burden upon
my heart Is the yearning desire to see
these worthy ones, allied to us by blood
and affection, again receiving good
wages. This money, In enabling them
to provide all the necessaries and a
reasonable portion of the pleasure#
for their loved ones, would ultlmatoly
reach the grocers, the clothiers, the
market gardeners, the farmers, etc..
and thus better the condition of all
classes In our state. Of courso. no
one man can effect this end; but by
concord and co-operation In tho line*
of justice and moderation we can as
sure capital and Improve the status.
Magnanimity Urged.
Let us then, I repeat, put behind us
the asperities of tha past campaign, let
us remember that Georgia’s welfare is
more to us than Is the gratification of
factional grudges or personal ambi
tions; that magnanimity Is the noblest
of virtues as revenge Is one of the
basest of vtees; that, as "a house di
vided against Itself shall fall," so a
state divided Into two hostile camps
will fall to attain the social and eco
nomic strength upon which enduring
prosperity must be based.
In conclusion allow me to repeat tho
following declaration found In my let
ter to the people, published April 10:
"Between the date of my choice In
the primary and the date of my Inau
guration It will be my endeavor to
visit aa many counttes as possible In
every quarter of our state, for the pur
pose of conferring with all classes of
our fellow citizens as to the best meth-
ods to be adopted for the rehabilita
tion of our Industries, the strengthen
ing of our farmlnr Interests and all
others In which our home people—our
own blood and bone—may again be
come partners In prosperity."
To Visit Ptoplt.
In accordance with this promise. *1
expect, within the next eight months
to visit as many aa I can of our peo
ple, In the rural districts aa well as In
the cities and towns, from the marshes
of the Okefenokce to the peaks of the
Blue Ridge, from the Savannah river
to the Chattahoochee. If by this
course I can do naught else. I can
at least shake hands and exchange
cordial greetings with the sterling men,
the golden-hearted women and the
bright-eyed boya and girls of Georgia,
and I can co-ordinately acquaint my
self with the varying characteristics
of the coastal plain, tha rolling hill
country and the craggy mountains of
our state, and hence with the needs
of the Inhabitants of each.
I feel sure that when these visits are
over I "hall be confirmed In my present
belief that a Georgian is a lovai Geor
gian wherever one finds hlfh; that
south Georgia la a* mat as north
Georgia and that middle Georgia is
as great as either of the other two.

ATLANTA, Go.. Oct. 14—J.
Lorraine the young white man who

government checkn to get money for
his honeymoon, pleaded guilty In the
United States court today, and was

to temptation.
Election Complications.
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 14—More com
plications have arisen over tho returns
from the recent state election and those
to be made for*the national election In
November.
It has developed that for the Utter
two separate returns will have to bo
mado. The law requires the vote for
congressmen and presidential electors
to be made known to the governor,
who supervises their consolidation.
However, for tho first time since the
present constitution was ndnptod, two
amendments to that document are to
bo submitted to the people nt the na
tional eleotion. It Is provided that tha
returns on amendments shall bo mads
to the secretory of state
The attorney-general lias held that
two different kinds of blanks mu.it te
sent nut—to he filled out and one re
turned to the governor and the other
to the secretary of state.
The two amendments provide for
service pensions for confederate vet
erans and their widows, and the other
will authorise count leu to levy taxes
for police and sanitary purposes.
It has not yet been decided when
Wyloy WUIIama, of Columbus, who
was elected prison commissioner nt
tho state election, may take office.
Borne say that ho may be sworn In ns
soon as the result Is announced by
the secretary of stats and the one
choson qualities, that Is after the ex
piration of Mr. Eason’s term of six
years.
Others say that Mr. Williams cannot
qualify until the legislature canvasses
tho returns and announces the result,
which will not bo before next Juno.
Custom appears to uphold this con
tentlon. Heretofore the legislature
has canvassed the returns for all
state offices as well as those for gov
ernor. This was done In Gen. Evans’
case two years ago. However, he has
boon re-elected to the commission
without opposition.
