MARRIED 24 YEARS, HE SEEKS DIVORCE; AFRAID OF HIS WIFE C. N. Brown, who has been married to Roxana Brown for twenty-four years, asked superior .court for a divorce today because, he said, he is afraid of his wife. Extreme jealousy he assigned as the cause for numerous attempts his wife made upon his life. Once. Brown said, a certain young woman asked him to play a selection on the organ for her and he did so. His wife, he declared, flew into a great rage and demolished the instrument with a hammer. Here are other things he says she tried to do. In 1906 she threatened to poison him. In 1907 she hit him over the head with the same hammer she had used to demolish the organ. In 1908. she shot at him sev eral times, and in 1909 his grown chil dren advised him to leave the house be cause his life really was in danger.

FENWAY BALL PARK. BOS TON. Oct. 15.—The law of av erage g O t in its dirty work here today. They sent in Joe Wood just once too often in a short se ries. He couldn’t face Tesreau day after day and beat him. Joe was badly off form. I don't think he «as unnerved or cold-footed (as some of his team mates surely were at first), but he just wasn’t in condi tion. I suspect from the way he han dled himself that that old whip was lame and stiff. The fact that the day was very blight handicapped him. He couldn’t put anything at all on the ball, and the steam, especially, was lacking. And when Joe Wood doesn't get the smoke he gets the gate There is no other answer. Tomorrow’s game will be something to dream about. I look for all of New York over here tonight and tomorrow and the largest crowd that was ever packed in a small space in the history of the world. Pitchers Problem For Tomorrow. ’ Both managers are going to be wor ried over the pitching question. Stahl will have to choose between sending Wood back, a doubtful experiment, considering what happened today, and of using Bedient. The trouble about Bedebnt is that he is tremendously young and inexperienced. But then, t o was Babe Adams —and his world’s ca ries record is history. If I had it to do I’d send in Bedient But then the Bos. ton folks have been worshiping Wood so long it's hard for them to think of anybody else in a pinch. McGraw is tight up against it now for a pitcher. He worked Tesreau to day with no thought of the morrow. But the morrow is on its way here fast now -and I’ll bet John J. is thinking two thinks at a clip. If 1 had his job I’d line up every pitcher who is eligible tomorrow afternoon, warm them all up If I had to hire some extra catch ers and then stick in the man who seems to be going best. The chances are he'll warm up Mathewson and Mar quard and shove in the one who wants to work Today’s win for the Giants ties up the series, with three games to each side. FIRST INNING. The opening of today’s game finds Evans behind the bat, Klein on bases, and O'Loughlln and Rlgler on the foul lines. McGraw makes one change in his line-up just before the opening gun Is fired. He sends Devore to right field and Murray to left. The managers met with the umpires before the game and agreed that a hit into the temporary bleachers should be good for two bases only. With Umpire Evans In place and ready to call "Plaj’ ball!” several hun dred Boston rooters break onto the field, cArrying a huge banner inscribed “Boston’s Royal Rooters.” This act is nuts for the mounted police, and they sweep down on the fans and send them back on the rim. Before the police can get the field cleared, a 30-foot section of the railing around left field collapses and a hun dred men and boys are spilled into the field. When they are run back by po lice, active hostilities begin. Devore smashes the second ball sent him by Joe Wood to Wagner, and when that worthy errors, he is safe at first. Doyle singles over second on the firs’ ball pitched. With tSnodgrass up. De vore and Doyle work a double steal, the first of the series. Snodgrass whacks at one of the “smoky" ones and knocks a double, on which Devore and Doyle score, Murray bunts to Stahl and is out, while Snodgrass takes third. It is a sacrifice. Merkle .smashes out a double and Snodgrass scores. The Giants now have W< od on the run. as they had O’Brien yesterday. McGraw and Wilbert Robinson are careening and chortling up and down in the coach ers’ boxes and the Giant subs and ex tras are whooping and raising sand. Herzog grounds to Wood and Merkle is run down, between Wagner and Gard ner. Herzog gets to second on the play. Meyers singles and Herzog tal lies. ELetcher dittoes and takes second when Hooper throws to third in a fu ’ile attempt to catch Meyers. At this point it is a stampede, a rout, a slaugh ter. Tesreau singles, scoring Meyers. With Devore up, Cady throws to Yerkes in an effort to catch Tesreau. ind Fletcher scores. Tesreau is finally run down. Stahl to Yerkes. Six runs, six hits, one error. Hooper, after acquiring a couple ot strikes and three balls, fans. Yerkes gets four balls in a row and walks. Speaker flies to Murray. I.ewis grounds to Herzog and is out to Merkle. No runs, no hits, no errors. SECOND INNING. Hall takes Wood’s place in the box for the Red Sox and makes a poor start —for Devore walks Devore steals sec ond. Then Doyle walks. Again the Red Sox pitcher is flurried and skid ding and again McGraw and his hench men put up an awful demonstration. With Snodgrass up. Devore is eaught off second by a snap throw from Hall to Wagner. This looks like sleepy base running by the Giants. Snodgrass sin gles and Doyle advances to the key stone. Hall then tries the trick he worked on Devore, but instead of mak ing the throw to Wagner it sails over his head and to deep center. Doyle scores on this. Murray pops to Wag ner. Merkle out, Wagner tc Stahl. One run, one hit, one error. Gardner is up now. One strike. Two strikes. Then he meets one. It sails Continued On Page Thirteen. Heavy Vote Cast Surprises Political Prophets—-Result Is Close in Many Wards and Outcome in Doubt Until Voting Ended—Odds On Woodward Fell During Day. James G. Woodward was nominated for mayor of Atlanta today after two exciting races. He led the ticket in the first primary, and today defeated his opponent in the run-off, Aldine Chambers. He won despite the combined opposition of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, the most of the ministers of Atlanta, and a formidable ar ray of business men who espoused the cause of his opponent. His third term as mayor of Atlanta will begin in January. The total vote was: Woodward, 5,770; Chambers, 4,890. Woodward’s majority was 880. The race was one of the most exciting in Atlanta’s history and marked by extreme bitterness. In little Capitol View, the first pre cinct to report and the newest terri tory to be annexed to the city. Wood ward polled 56 votes and Chambers 35, giving Woodward a majority of 21. Chambers Loses Own Precinct. The Ninth ward, precinct A. gave Chambers 400 to Woodward’s 251. The total of the ward was: Chambers 436, Woodward 399. a Chambers majority of 97 In the Ninth ward, preeinct B. Wood ward won by 88 to 36. aTead of 52 votes in a total of 124. This is Chambers’ own prfeciuct. and. went against him by 92 votes, an in creased majority over tfec first primary for Woodward. The Fifth ward gave Woodward 483 and Chambers 183, a majority of an even 300 for Woodward. This showed a marked gain for Woodward over the first primary. Ward sixth, precinct B. gave Wood ward 235 votes, chambers 136, a Wood ward lead of 199. The Seventh Ward A. West End. gave Chambers 457, Woodward 291, a Cham bers’ lead of 206 in the entire Seventh ward. The Eighth ward, precinct A, gave Chambers 613, Woodward 255, a Cham bers majority of 358.

Woodward 197, a Woodward majority of 48. The Fourth ward went for Chambers by 50a to 427. Woodward losing the ward by 78 votes. In the first primary Chambers carried the ward by 83 votes. The First ward went for Woodward by 150 majority. Chambers polled 212 votes. Woodward 362. The Sixth ward, precinct A, gave Chambers 532, Woodward 548. a Wood ward lead of 16 votes. When the noils closed In the various wards at 7 o'clock tonight the result of the mayoralty race was still In doubt, with supporters of Woodward and Chambers both claiming victory, though most of them conceded the winner would have but a small margin to his credit. The general aspect of the race had changed greatly since the forenoon and the unusually large num ber of votes cast seemed to give the Chambers supporters ground for be lief tha’ their candidate would win. They pointed out that Woodward usu ally polled a certain strength which never wavered, and that at least three fourths of the additional vote over ihat of the first primary would be cast for Aldine Chambers. On the other hand, the Woodward supporters pointed to the fact that ’ Uncle Jim” had always won his races in the last hour of the day, between 6 and 7 o'clock, when the working men came by to vote on their way from work They hooted at the boasts of the Chambers men and stuck by their claims of Woodward victory to the last. J. R. Smith, campaign manager for Mr. Chambers, gave out a statement this afternoon that Woodward men who had bet heavily at two to one were “hedging,” or trying to place bets on Chambers to get even. Chambers said this afternoon that he believed he would carry every ward. Mr. Smith claimed that Chambers would carry the Fourth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth wards by large ma jorities. He conceded that Woodward had a "look-in" in his old strongholds. EXTRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P M A O Y RE NC the Third and Fifth. He thought Chambers would carry the First, Sec ond and Tenth by safe margins. An unexpectedly heavy vote in the mayoralty primary today forced the. betting from _odds on Woodward to even money. The men who are view ing the contest from a purely commer cial viewpoint estimated that there would be a light vote and based their bets on such a vote. When the vote exceeded 6,000 by 2:3f. o’clock, almost a record for Atlanta the bettors declared that there were nc odds on James G. Woodward or Aldine Chambers. Both Sides Claim To See Advantage. Both siiles claim an advantage. Tht f.HSTttbers men Mwrted that their "call for an early vote Tiad been met with a ready response and that they had won the election at noon. The Woodward men claimed that they would pile up a big majority by the late vote, and that the heavy vote is merely an indication of widespread public interest. As a matter of fact, the Increased tote Is evident in both Chambers and Woodward wards. Alorfi workers are around the polls han are usually seen, and there was much excited Interest. James G Woodward and Carlos H. Mason, ehair.' man of the police board and a Cham bers supporter, had a clash of words “Oda? Th?' Wa n TOtln< pla< * ear, y today. The partisans of both sides lined up behind their chiefs, but it amounted to nothing more than words pol,ce c <”™lssloner worker d Ward “ nd a Cambers worker was enthusiastically urging votes for Chambers In front of th„ voting place at 5 Fraser street He was pushed back by a number of Woodward supporters and told by a to stand aside. Chairman Mason came up and told him to take his place again. Woodward came upon ‘he .-cene at that moment and protest ed that Chairman Mason had nothing to do with the conduct of the election A few more words passed and then the two men separated. How Vote Compares With First Primary. Early this afternoon the vote by wards compared as follows with the vote of the first primary: First Second Primary. Primary, r * rs ‘ 208 282 Second 500 g4 j Fourth 358 518 Fifth 242 337 Sixth 547 796 Seventh 337 456 Eighth 370 495 Ninth 394 4 12 • Tenth 163 2 63 All agreed today, as great numbers of workers for both factions gathered around the polls, that the winner would not have a wide margin. The Woodward supporters base their most optimistic claims on the 599 plurality obtained by Woodward In the first pri mary. They declare Woodward will lose none of the support he got on the first ballot. Woodward declared the issue was constant, the Chambers ring. On the other hand, the Chamber fac tion declared today that the moral. Issue injected into the campaign by the Men and Religion Forward Movement and the churches would bring out most of the 4,000 voters that stayed away from the polls on the first ballot. On this vote Chambers based confident hope of being nominated. The workers have divided themselves Into squads and are swarming around Continued on Page Three. •
