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 ing during these five days of Intense riv alry.

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 Interest in the two cities thkn that of .last year. If the attendance -nay be taken m a guide. The paid admissions were only *2.232 for the five games nnd the receipts totaled but 194,97* as compared with $101,000 last year. The attendance at the Anal game this afteraqon was but *.210 with gross rece/pts of I9.877.S0. 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 troit. But this year with tho National league team the flag remains In Chi- Thsre Is gloom In Detroit tonight.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—The Chicago team expects to add a material Its earnings by two exhibition gamos to be played on the Chicago grounds next Saturday and Sunday with De troit. President Murphy has an nounced that all the receipts will bo distributed among the players.

Jennings was not besten today until Schmidt's foul In the ninth bad found secure and flnalloaament in KUng's capacious mitt. Through the fierce uphill battle this afternoon ho stood on the coaching line off first base, coaching the runnera on every move* and spurring the batsmen on to make their best efforts.

There waa pever a falling note In hi* MY of "Wee- »h" and any slight advantage act him to executing his peculiar war dance.

Oct. 14.-‘-Deaths from heart dlseaso increased last week, due, the New York health department physi cians- say, to tho acute baseball situa tion. Last week the deaths were 164. as com- compared with 68. showing In the 1 opinion of physicians that the interest In the game had spread throughout tho city, whereas for the week ended Octo ber 3. before a final decision regarding the disputed game with Chicago had been made and when hope of ultimate victory was still high, tho deaths were 121. as compared with 123 a wear ago- For the week ended September 26 tho deaths were 112, to 139 a year ago. It Is believed that hut for the baseball situa tion a derllno would have been shown lost week. mmm TRAIN DE LUXE TO BRING WALL STREETERS TO RAGES SAVANNAH, Oct. 14—Announce ment la made that a "Wall Street Special" U to run from New York to Savannah in twenty-one hours and bring to the automobile races those whose business demands they hurry here and hurry back to New York without, waiting for the slower i Ing steamships. It was stated last night that train Is to be mado up of nine com partment cars, with diners, etc., every thing to be arranged to make the trip os excellent as possible. The name attached to the long train Is significant with regard to the class of passengers It will carry The mortal of low estate will have no place in the elegant stretch of cars. The train will be run over the At lantic Coast Line and will be park ed within easy walking distance of tho grand stand on the automobile course. The passengers may eat and sleep while In Savannah on the cars, and their coming will In no wise tax fur ther the accommodations that the hotel committee of the auto executive com mittee can provide for visitors to the races. The "Wall Street Special" will vie with the special train to run from Chicago to Savannah. Because It Is to be made up and run on nuch fast time, with the accommodations It will afTord. It will probably bring to 8a vannah a number of desirable visitors steal a hsse on him for the first time I during the series. He handled two hunts In clean fashion, retiring his men at first, and he broke up an attempted a masterly game. Only three hits were made off him and one or tnese would have been an easy out had tho bell not taken a bed bound. He was wild at times, giving four bases on balls, but hi* strlke-out* numbered ten. One of these strike-cuts, however, occurred when Bossmaa made his third *wlng * wild pitch, enabling him to reach first safely. Donovan, on the other hand, met with a very vigorous reception in the first In ning. when three consecutive hits sent Evers' double gave Chicago another run. ef the game. With the exception of the fifth Inning, when a tea© on tells and Sever*’ double gave Chicago another run, Donovan managed to keep the hits fet tered. It is probable, however;ttet Chi cago would nave run Op alanrtr score had I* not been for the brilliant work of the Detroit Infield. O'Leary* spectacu lar catch of Tinker’s "Texas leaguer*’ far back of second base was a feature of the game. Evers scored Chicago« first run In the first. He elnried to center, took second on Schulte's hit to left and rare-? home on Chance's safe drive to canter. A hare on bella wae^primarily HAWKINSV1LLE GIN IS DESTROYED BY FIRE HAWKINSVILLE, Ga..

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, 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. CIVIL SERVICE EXTENDED Ident signed last Friday and ’odsy.
