PAST HISTORY IS
INJECTED INTO
MAYOR RAGE
Line of Attack Has Shifted
From Personalities to Late
Municipal Affairs.
The mayoralty contest reached such
a degree of intensity today as to be
virtually a probe of city affairs for
several years back. All the faults and
all the virtues of the city government
of more than passing interest are being
ailed through newspaper advertise
ments.
This line of attack, together with the
efforts of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, has in a measure
switched the issue of the campaign
from the personalities of the two can
didates, James G. Woodward and Aldine
Chambers, about whom the fight has
raged up to the present.
Mr. Woodward has gone deeper with
his charge that a “ring" is in control of
the city government, and has brought
forth what he terms evidences of mis
management. He has charged that much
of the $3 000,000 of bond money has
been wasted.
Mr. Chambers emphatically denies
that any “ring" exists, and, with a
number of his prominent supporters,
has offered proof that the bond money
has been rightly spent. He declared
that all the faults of the city govern
ment could not be saddled on his shoul
ders, because he has had nothing to do
with a great deal of the work.
Prayer meetings were held in a num
ber of churches yesterday afternoon by
women, responding to a call of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement.
The call declared that Atlanta faces a
crisis and that the issue purely was a
moral one.
The leaders of this movement have
gone farther in their fight against
Woodw’ard today, and requested the
ministers of the city to preach on the
mayoralty issue from their pulpits to
morrow.

TODAY’S GAME CRUCIAL,
BASEBALL JURY AGREES
NEW YORK. Oct. 12.—That the game
between the Red Sox and Giants at
Boston this afternoon is the critical one
in the world's championship series was
the opinion today of more than one
member of the jury of experts covering
day by day the contests jjetween the
two nines.
The following extracts are taken from
their arti< les published here today:
John J. McGraw—Stahl has shot
his bolt with the pitching of Wood.
I believe this afternoon's game is
the turning point.
Jake Stahl—That game yester
day looks like the series. If we
win Saturday's game, the world
pennant is ours for certain. We
must redeem bur defeat on the
home grounds.
Jeff Tesreau —I lost rhe game
for us. I was so overanxious I got
nervous and wild. A hot drive tore
the nail off the middle finger of my
pitching hand in the first inning,
but I am making no excuses.
Damon Runyon. New York Amer

YOUTH, WORRIED BY
RESPONSIBILITY OF
NEW JOB, KILLS SELF
Worry over the responsibilities of his
new position as chief clerk of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail
road and his own youth led Hugh H.
Mansell to shoot himself in the breast
more than a week ago. He died yes
terday.
He was but twenty years old, and
the place he was appointed to fill was
one heretofore held only by men of
much greater experience. He was wor
ried about it and talked of it constant
ly. Early in the morning of October 3
he shot himself at the home of his
brother-in-law, Charles R. Harris, with
whom he lived at 21 Longley avenue.
The funeral arrangements will be an
nounced later.

Hugh Jennings—The weather
man and Joe Wood beat the
Giants. Dark (lays are best for
Wood because of his terrific speed
and wide curves. The balls get to
the batter before he sees them.
“Bill” Carrigan, Catcher for the
Red Sox —Our boys now have their
stride. Today's game ought to de
cide the series. Our fielding and
batting are better than New York's.
Christy Mathewson, Pitcher for
New York—Wood beat us. He is
the coolest pitcher I ever saw. You
can't rattle him.
John Meyers—Hats off to Boston.
We were unfortunate in hitting
yesterday and all the breaks went
to Boston, but we will take the
series. The grounds were too slow,
too.
Rube Marquard The pitching of
Wood, backed up by the fielding of
Yerkes and Wagner, put us out for
the count yesterday, but we are
coming back today. The field was
so slow that it hurt our chances.
Boston did not feel it so much, de
pending on cut and dried baseball
rather than speed. Our base run
ners were handicapped.
BAPTISTS TO EXPEL
CHURCH MEMBERS IN
ROMELOCKER CLUBS
ROME, GA., Oct. 12.—That every
church member who is also a member
of a locker club should be expelled
from the church is the opinion of the
Floyd County Baptist association,
which passed resolutions to that ef
fect.
The association in its resolution calls
on the churches of the city to drive out
the locker club members. One church
has approved the resolution and all
members who drink liquor must get
out.
Every club Is shut down. It is be
lieved all the blind tigers have taken to
their heels, frightened by the chain
gang sentences imposed by Judge Mad
dox on convicted liquor sellers.

AS STH GAME STARTS
Threatening Weather in
Boston Today, But Fore

Not Prevent Battle—Mc-
Graw Silent as to His
Pitching Choice.
By BILLY SMITH.
BOSTON’. Oct. 12.—A cloudy sky
was the weather man’s contribution
today for the fifth game between the
Red Sox and the Giants for the
world's baseball championship.

issued the following forecastlt will
remain eoludy and muggy most of the

have a strangle-hold on the champion
ship.
The Boston team arrived home late
last night and the players all went to
their homes where they enjoyed a good
rest.
The Giants arrived about midnight
and went to a hotel where they also had
a good rest.
The Red Sox’s victory yesterday
marked in the minds of the betting fra
ternity a turning point in the series.
Red Sox Are Now
Top Heavy Favorites.
Two to one on the series was freely
offered by Sox rooters about Boston
hotels this morning. And even at that
price there were few takers. Odds on
today's game favored the Sox at a price
of ten to eight or ten to nine.
Frank Sullivan and Meyer Sullivan,
brothers, 14 and 25 years old. came all
the way from Cincinnati to get at the
head of the line waiting for the opening
of the Fenway park gates today.
They had to get there at 9 o’clock
last night to seize the coveted post. But
they did ft, made a bed out of two boxes
and took turns through the night in
catching cat naps. James Sunderland
and Peter Lynch, of Lowell, came next
at 11 o’clock and were followed by
seven messenger boys.
Fires Built to
Keep Crowd Warm.
There were 300 in line at fi o'clock,
an hour before the box office was sched.
tiled to open. Those who wore waiting
built bonfires to keep warm and dry.
They took turns, going to an open hall
across the street to catch a nap in
doors. Those in the line at 8 o'clock
represented many states. Two had < omi
from Schenectady, N. Y„ and two others
from Nashua. N. H.
A record-breaking crowd was expect
