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.

Woodward, candidate for mayor, on the city government. He looked very serious and replied: “There is lots of truth in some of the things Jim Woodward has said. There are some things in connection with the city government that are Inexcusable." Aldine Chambers and Mr. Woodward, the two candidates for mayor, both gave out opUmistlc statements of the progress of their campaigns today.

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 RED SOXOOO 001 300—4 GIANTS 002 000 001—3 RED SOX— A» R. H. PO A. C.

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.
