Officials of the trainmen, with chair men of the various roads, began an other conference today, but nothing was given out as to what would be dis cussed. Charles P. Neill, United States commissioner of labor, was present at this meeting. He is acting as a me i iator between roads and men, and it i? possible that his presence at the con ference may bring about an end of the strike. Says Half of Stnkebreakers Quit.

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. BLUE RIDGE GIANT IS SIGHT FOR ATLANTANS Jesse Owenby came to Atlanta to see the sights and found himself the sight. Owenby is over seven feet tall. He came here to be a witness in a moon shining case. Tn Towns county, far up in the Blue Ridge, Owenby says that other men are about as tall as he and no one there looks at him as though he had just escaped from a menagerie. This is the first time he was ever any far ther from home than ("avion.

Another thing that sadly handicaps Jesse is the fact that sav« for the of ferings of devotetl friends h< <an get no real "mountain de«.” ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOB ER 12, 1912. 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.

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 ican—Flashy fielding by Shortstop Wagner, a former Giant player, beat New York. Testeau is no puzzle to the Sox. while Wood seems to have New York's number Ty Cobb—A fter yesterday’s game I am convinced the Red Sox will win the series “Smoky Joe" Wood 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.

Mur ray and Herzog are the only Giants playing up to form. 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.
