INJUNCTION
TO PROTECT
TRAINS IS
ISSUED
Val Fitzpatrick Calls on Presi
dent Wickersham, But No
Decision Is Reached.
TERMINALS DISPUTE IS
ONLY ISSUE UNSETTLED
Governor Asked to Intercede by
Union Men—Tie-Up of Road
Remains Complete.
AUGUSTA, GA.. Oct. B.—General
Manager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia
railroad, announced at 2:30 o’clock this
afternoon that Federal Judge Grubb,
acting in the place of Judge- Emory
Speer, had. granted the road an injunc
tion to protect mail trains from being
molested.
Mr. Scott would make no further
statement, and when asked when mail
trains would be started he said he did
not know.
It has been reported for twq days
that the Georgia railroad officials have
been seeking the aid of the Federal
courts to secure protection for their
mail trains. It. is expected an attempt
will be made to operate mail trains at
once, although none will be operated
probably before tomorrow morning.
Assistant Grand Chief F. W. Bur
gess, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, had no statement to make
in regard to the injunction. The en
gineers were not ordered on strike by
Mr. Burgess, arid they can go out any
time nt their own risk. Mr. Burgess
has merely insisted on adequate pro
tection for the engineers and he con
sidered the violence of last week dan
gerous for the men.
Val Fitzpatrick, one of the national
officers of th” Brotherhood of Hailway
Trainmen, came to Atlanta today and
paid a call on Charles A. Wickersham,
president of the Atlanta ami West Point
railway, who is also chairman of the
joint terminals. Mr. Fitzpatrick's com
ing is believed to mean an early settle
ment. for he/is noted for his ability to
smooth out .troubles among trainmen.
He is a familiar figure in Atlanta, hav
ing been here frequently when labor
troubles were brewing.
No direct results followed Mr. Fitz
patrick's visit to President Wicker
sham. according to his assistants. They
say Fitzpatrick had no engagement
with the chief, but merely call -ri in
formally and chatted over affairs for a
time. President Wickersham had noth
ing to give out.
Whether or not the striking em
ployees of the joint terminals are :■■■-
employed depends upon the action of
the board of control,, composed of
Chairman Wickersham and represen
tatives of the other roads in the termi
nal organization. They take the posi
tion that their employees were not con
cerned in the Georgia strike and should
not have gone out.
Governor Brown
Asked to Intercede.
Governor Brown lias been approached
by a representative of the unions with
the request that he take up the matter
with Superintendent Brand at Augusta
and urge him to recognize the joint
terminal employees as a component
part of the trainmen's organization and
restore them to their places with the
rest of the men. He was not requested
to act in an official capacity, but merely
to use his friendly offices in showing
Mr. Brand that a mere technical point
should not be permitted to prevent traf
fic on the Georgia road and cause in
convenience and even suffering to citi
zens along the line.
No attempt was made to operate
trains today. Officials of the road de
cided not to try any further move
ments until the settlement of the strike
or the end of negotiations between
unions and operators. Not a train has
left Atlanta since Saturday night, and
only one, that of Sunday afternoon
has arrived.
Suffering invalids have been forced t<>
go without ice except in the one or
two towns which have factories of

WOOD AND TESREAU
PITCH OPENING DUEL
Nearly 40,000 Baseball-
Mad Fans See Giants
Clash With Boston in
First (Tame of Series.
By “Billy” Smith
NEW YORK. Oct. B.—The Bos
ton Red Sox today defeated the
New York Giants in the first game
of the post-season series between
the pennant-winners of the Na
tional and American leagues.
Thirty-eight thousand fans wit
nessed the game start, with Tes
reau and Meyers as the Giants'
battery and Wood and Cady work
ing for the Red Sox.
Here is how the game was
played :
First Inning.
There is a silence that makes your
hair tingle as Hooper walks to the box.
swinging the conventional pair of bats.
When he drops one and settles his feet
for the first time of the series In front
of the Polo ground- plate you can all
but hear him breathe. The silence does
not last. One strike on him. Two
strikes. Then the Giant fans let out a
roar. Tesreau is striking him out! But
no—a ball, another, th>oe. four, and he
walks. Ami as Hooper canters smiling
toward first tile thousands and thou
sands of Boston fans let out a roar
that shakes the stands a'nd echoes
again and again against Coogan’s his
toric bluff.
It looks bad for the Giants right here.
Mi G aw’s whole safety depends on
Tesrqau’s being steady. And he Isn't
But things cheered up right away for
New York. Yerkes smacks one down
to Doyle and is neatly thrown out to
Merkle. There is some class to this
Doyle. He shows it all the time.
Os course Hooper goes on to second
on the play and is in scoring territory,
with Te’rible Tris Speaker up With a
strike and a ball on him. the Texan
grounds to Doyle ami is out at first.
Hooper goes on to third on this play,
which constitutes a sacrifice, though It
was not so Intend"ri And then Hooper
dies, for Ixwvls hoists to Snodgrass. No
runs, no hits, no error#,
Devore Fans First.
When Wood walks to bis place on the
F'olo grounds slab there is more cheer
ing from the Boston section, led vigor
ously by Mayor Fitzgerald. The Boston
star is smilingly confident. He knows
he is right and he holds tile Giants
lightly. It will be a cinch. And it is a
cinch to get Deyore. Strike follows
strike, until the fatal three are acquired
and Josh retires, throwing his bat at
the unoffending bat boy.
Doyle is easy with a grounder to
Wagner, who throws him out to Stahl
On Snodgrass the whole thing depends,
and he seems to know it He scowls
and bites ills lips as he walks to the
plate With two balls on him he meets
one fair and It goes to center for a
single, thf- first hit of the world’s se
ries! There is a 30,000-lung demon
stration at tills and the air fairly trem
bles with the noise.
Then up conies Murray, the boob of
Inst year's world's series. He has a
chance to redeem his laurels and In a
measure he does It, by waiting out
Wood for four balls. It is nice work
for a couple of them are close. This
puts Hje responsibility up to .Merkle,
ami theYiltuation is tense. Two strikes
are piled up and two balls. Tjien there
is a crack of the bat ami a weak fly is
raised to Wagner, who grabs it and
’■nils a sensational inning It has been
a fine chance for both teams to score.
No runs, one hit, no errors.
SECOND INNING.
Gardner is the first man who gets a
chance at Tesreau's wet ones in the
second and he makes the most of it.
The first two of Tesreau's offerings are
balls. Then comes a strike. Then the
third ball, then the second strike. In
the supreme batting pinch Gardner
dumps a grounder tn Fletcher's direc
tion. It is an easy out, but the Giant
shortstop Is nervous. He tries to take
it carefully, but messes it up instead
and in a flash Gardner iss afe on the
error.
Then comes Stahl's opportunity, but
he doesn’t do much with it. His bunt
is neatly executed, zut it rolls too
swiftly and Tesreau picks it up and
with a quick whirl and snap nails
Gardner at second, Fletcher taking the
throw. Stahl tries then to make
amends for his poor but by stealing
second, but in this also he fails
Meyers has his first chance and he

improves it. With a gigantic heave, he
whirls the ball to second ahead of the
Rod Sox manager and he is out to
Fletcher. Wagner then shows his
coolness and eye by getting four balls,
after two strikes are pitched to him.
Tesreau's speed is terrific, but he is
suffering from his old failing and Is a
shade too wild for Giant comfort. Cady
then meets the ball with a tremendous
wallop and It flies to right field. It
looks mightily like a hit, but Murray
makes a grand run and catch and Cady
Is out, and the side also.
No runs, no hits, one error.
Wood Fans Two Men.
Right in the beginning of the second
half occurs an incident that shows how
determined the Giants are. Herzog de
liberately walks into one of Wood's
fastest balls. In an effort to get free
transportation to first. He Is clearly
hit and It Is no slow bail, but Umpire
Klem refuses to let him go to first,
claiming that he tried to get bit- Os
course. Herzog and the Giants protest
like good ones over this, but it gets
them nothing.
Herzog then files out to Stahl, on a
high pop. W r hen Meyers comes up the
Red Sox fans have an awful sigh and
it is evident that the usually intrepid
Wood is a trifle awed by the Indian’s
terrific slugging. His fears are wasted,
though. The Giant catcher makes three
mighty lunges at the ball and sits down.
The New York fans mingle their cheers
with those of the Boston rooters at this
feat. Fletcher ends the inning with a
strike-out. No runs, no hits, no errors.
THIRD INNING.
That Tesreau is dangerously wild is
shown right at the start when he walks
Wood. And it is an especially bad look
ing piece of work, for he has two
strikes on the Boston pitcher before he
lets the fourth ball across. Before
Hooper starts for the plate he looks In
quiringly at Stahl and the order must
be for a sacrifice, for Hooper bunts to
Tesreau and is out to Merkle, while
Wood advances to second.
Yerkes then gets his second chance
but can't Improve it. He lets one go
by, a ball. He hits at the next and
misses. Then lie grounds to Doyle, who
is having a busy afternoon, and is out
at first, but Wood advances again, this
time to third. Then Speaker seems like
ly to get his second chance. But things
lack a lot of being what they seem.
Tesreau takes no chances and pitches
four in succession that are a mile wide.
This is good business, too, for Lewis
is jollied into lifting an easy fly to
Fletcher, and another thrilling inning
is over.
No hits, no runs, no error*.
Murr«y’« Hit Scores Two.
Tesreau performs to the usiml pitch
er's stunt of fanning. Then Devore does
something for his country by walking.
Doyle then demonstrates that his claims
on the pinch hitting title aren't bogus
2 CENTS EVERYWHERE
by' smacking a single. It is a longS
one and the throw is made to the pJatV
to prevent scoring.
On this throw Doyle makeslit to see-f
ond. Then Wood tightens up andi
heaves some real ball. Snodgrass Is th»,
victim, with a strike out to his dis-i
credit. This put it up to Murray andj
Red demonstrates quickly that he isn’tl
a chronic World's Series boob by|
smashing a single to right that scores
Devore and Doyle. Murray tries to
stretch it, and is out, from Speaker tai
Wagner.
Two runs, two hits, no errors,
FOURTH INISHNG.
Gardner hoists a foul to Herzn<,
Stahl is victimized by Tesreau and sits I
down, over ihe S. O. route. Wagner
fouls to Merkle. It is Tesreau’s best
Inning.
You can fairly see Wood tighten up
for this inning. He fans Merkle. Her
zog pulls a single to center. Meyers
grounds to Wood and is thrown out to
Stahl. Fletcher fans. The pitching Is
getting better every minute.
No runs, one hit, no errors.
FIFTH INNING.
With the south end of the Rod Bme
batting order up the Hub fans do not
look for much in this inning, and they
are not disappointed. Cady smacks an
other down to Doyle, his fourth chanca
thus far, and goes out to Merkle. Wood
has no better luck, for Merkle eats up
his grounder. Hooper ends the inning'
by fanning.
No hits, no runs, no errors.
Wood opens right up with a lot of
smoke, and Tesreau can’t find the ball
at all, with the usual result. Devora
shoots for the sky and Is out to Lewis.
Doyle rips off a single, out overesti
mates it and is out trying to make sec
ond, Gardner to Wagner. Wood’s strika
out of Tesreau is his eighth this game.
No runs, one hit, no errors.
, SIXTH INNING.
Steve Yerkes opens with a fly-out
to Snodgrass. Speaker is up. and this
time Tesreau buckles down and pitch
es to him. Then came a ball and a
strike. And then Tris tripled to left,
an awful wallop. Lewis about half
way rises to ills opportunity with a
grounder to Doyle and is out at first,
but Speaker slips across with a run*
Gardner fans. This hit Speaker made
is the flret off Tesreau, and the run is
Boston’s first. One run, one hit, on®
error.
Snodgrass Is safe when Wagner*
fumbles his short hit. A double play'
results when Murray tries to sacrifice,
Stahl to Wood. No runs, no hits, an® '
error.

ROOSEVELT TAKES
NEW TACK IN FIGHT
TO DEFEAT WILSON
DETROIT. MICH., Oct. B.—Colonel
Roosevelt opened his invasion of the
Middle West here today when he spoke
to 8.000 persons in the armory. He was
greeted with frenzied applause.
The ex-president launched into an
attack on Governor Wilson in his
speech, taking an entirely different tack
from any of his previous assnilts. He
spoke of Governor Wilson having. In a
message to the New Jersey legislature
last spring, commended both the Re
publican and Democratic party plat
form of his state, saying they indicated
a similarity of thought tn both parties.
The governor considered, he said, in his
address, that the political trend of ths
two parties was along the same line*,
