World’s Championship Games
In Detail In The Georgian
The Georgian will'give f ull detailed reports of the series of games between the Detroit
Americans and the Chicago Nationals for the Baseball Championship of the World, beginning next
Tuesday.
The games will be played in Chicago and Detroit. The Georgian will, have direct leased tel
egraph wires to the ball parks in the two cities, and the games will be reported for this newspaper
by well-known baseball experts.
Paul H. Bruske, sporting editor of The Detroit Times, will cover the series while the teams
play in Detroit. When they play in Chicago, James Krusenberry, The Chicago American’s expert,
will report the contest.
More prompt and complete service is not to be furnished by any newspaper in the country,
and it can be duplicated by few.
The series of games will be the national sporting event of the year and will be witnessed by
as many thousands as the ball grounds will bold. Millions will wait for the reports of the games to
be furnished by daily newspapers everywhere.
In Atlanta the exciting finish in the American League has been followed with close Interest,
divided between Detroit, where Ty Cobb, a Georgia boy, has been playing the greatest individual
ball of the year and contributing largely to the final victory of his team, and Cleveland, because the
latter team for several seasons had its spring practice in Atlanta, and many of the Naps, including
the great Lajoie himself, are well known to Atlanta fans. That Detroit won out has given popular
satisfaction, and Tyros Cobb, right fielder and premier swatsman, just now shines the brightest star
in the baseball firmament.
It will be necessary for one of the teams to win four games to decide the championship. The
opening game will be played in Chicago Tuesday; the next-two in Detroit, Wednesday and Thurs
day, with Friday open in case of a tie or rain; the next two in Chicago Saturday and Sunday, and
if the series is unsettled by that time, the sixth game will be played in Detroit Monday. In case of
a tie after six games, the deciding contest will be played in Chicago Tuesday, October 15.
Each game will be given in detail, with full box score, in The Georgian’s OKEEN BASE

10-CENT CAR FARE
STOPPED BUILDING
ON THERIVER LINE
Company Asked For Reduc
tion Last May by In
tending Investors.
No answer has been made by Presi
dent Arkwright to an Inquiry as to
whether the fare on the river car line
would be cut from 10 to 5 cents, and
Mr. Arkwright la still considering the
matter.
That a former refusal by the com
pany to reduce the fare Is responsible
for the lots of a large amount of new
building at Riverside, a little town on
the line, Is stated by W. M. Scott, a
well-known real estate man.
“Last May," said Mr. Scott, "It was
proposed to erect between thirty and
forty new home* at Riverside and the
deal had been about closed. George B.
Sickles and George C. Osborn, well-
known Investors, were preparing to
erect these homes and had built three
or four.
Then It wa* learned that the street
car fare was 10 rent* An effort wa*
made through T. K. Glenn, of the street
car company, t» secure a reduction In
fares, but the only answer was that the
matter would be considered, and nnth-
further came of IL The building
was stopped.
“Riverside Is only a quarter of a mil*
beyond Hollywood, the present B-cent
limit, and It la the station where hun
dreds of working people from the Whit
tier Mills and the Chattahoochee brick
yards get on and off. A petition from
these people, numbering more than 150,
was presented to the company, but no
reduction followed. All that was asked
was a B-cent fare, without a transfer
privilege."
