Oct. 16.—After the most des perately contested struggle for baseball's premiership in the "ame s history, the Boston Red Sox were today made cham pions of the world. The final game was a battle between the \oiithful Bedient and Christy Matthewson. the veteran star of the Giants. The game was played as follows: FIRST INNING.

MOST EXCITING CONTEST EVER, SITS SMITH By•• Billy" Smith. KENWAY BALL PARK. BOSTON, Oct 16.—I’ve seen some ball playing in my day, but for hard-boiled excite ment and for desperate playing and especially for agonizing excitement. I have never before seen the equal of tiiis contest today that ended in tin defeat of the Giants and which gav' the Red Sox the championship of t i world. You can figure out how it was woi and lost in a thousand different way- It was a bush league game technical!. Rut the final squizzle came vvhe, Snodg.ass dropped Engle's liner in th last half of the tenth. Up to that lim it was anybody's game. From tha time on it was a slaughter, Christ;. Mathewson, who has been the hero of a thousand hard-fought fields, lost that marvelous nerve, weakened and win beaten. The Giants took an early lead, bu were tied in the seventh. Then th< game went to the tenth inning with out another score. The National leaguers then made another, but th- Red Sox came right back and. aids by errors, sco'ed two runs and cap tured the title. Christy Mathewson had been twii > defeated and was sent in by McGra to oppose the Sox and pitched the en tire game. Giants Score First. The first tally was scored in the third, when the Giants scored one run. Devore started with a base on Vails. Doyle sacrificed, sending Devore to sec ond. Snodgrass sacrificed, sending Devore to third. Murray doubled, scoring Devote. Boston tied the score in the seventh inning Gardner, the first man up in the Red Sox line-up that inning, flied out. Stahl singled and went to second when Wagner walked. Cady flied out and Hendrickson, a pinch hitter, was sent in to bat for Bedient. He smashed out a two-bagger, scoring Stahl. Hooper went out. retiring the side. In the eighth inning Smoky Joe Wood replaced Bedient in the box. At the end. of the ninth the teams were tied one to one. In the first half of the tenth the Giants forged ahead when they scored one run after Snodgrass went out on a grounder, Murray lifted a double and scored on Merkle's single. The next two were easy’ outs. The excitement was at fever heat. The New York fans were screaming and throwing their hats into the air. Finally in the last half of the tenth came the climax. Engle batted for Wood and flied to Snodgrass, who dropped the ball, the runner taking second. Hooper flied out. Yerkes walked. Speaker singled, scoring En gle and tying the score. Pandemo nium reigned in the stands. The Bos ton fans had their inning there. Yerkes went to third on the play. Then Lewis walked, filling the bases. It was a try ing moment. Matty had begun to weaken. Gardner came to the bat and lashed out a sacrifice to Devore, scor ing Yerkes. This was the winning run and gave the game to Boston; score, tw o to three. 25,000 Fans Go Wild. The spectators. 2b,000 strong, went wild as Yerkes dashed over the plate. Immediately after Gardner’s fly had scored Yerkes with the winning run at least 10,000 Red Sox -rooters rushed into the field toward the Boston bench and. yelling like wild men, made a grab for tile players. Some of them broke through the crowd and escaped to the club house while the rest were hemmed in their little niche near first base and given a demonstration, the like of which has seldom been accorded a ball team. The players were finally’ per mitted to go to the club house after being hugged by the frenzied mob which stayed on the ball field, singing and yelling, dancing like Indians, em b.aclng each other and smashing one another's hats. The Giants were broken hearted by their defeat after the brilliant rally they had made. The New York rooters rushed upon the field to try to cheer up the McGraw crowd, but there was no response.

VICE WAR CONTINUES IF . MASON SUPPORTS CHIEF Despite Election of Woodward, Chambers Men Hold Control of Police Board. The nomination of James G. Wood ward for mayor of Atlanta will have no effect on Police Chief Beavers' war 'on the tenderloin and the vice crusade will continue—ls Carlos Mason, chairman of the police board, gives it his support. The executive committee of the Men and Religion Forward Movement and leaders of the Chambers campaign gave the impression before the primary that the nomination of Woodward would mean the end of Beavers, as chief of police. Carlos H. Mason, chairman of the po lice commission and who will continue to control a good majority of the com mission despite Woodward’s election, said today that he was going to do all he could to give Chief Beavers a fair show. He said that Chief Beavers is sued the order against the “houses in our midst" upon his own initiative, but that the police commission would con tinue to support him unless his plan proved a failure. Will Give Him Sufficient Time. "Chief Beavers is going to have suf ficient time to show what he can do toward eliminating the social evil,” said Chairman Mason. “For my part, 1 want to do what is best for Atlanta. 1 am not seeking any political fight and don’t expect one. If Chief Beavers’ plan proves to be an improvement, we will stand by it. We are going to support him unless his plan proves a failure.”' Mayor-elect Woodward has practi cally declared war against Chairman Mason but he ha* neve mentioned Chief Beavers. But Chairman Mason, with his supporters, will continue to control the police force after Wood ward takes his office on January 1. Os the commission of twelve mem bers which has absolute control of the police department, the mayor has one membership and the appointment of another, the chairman of the police committee of council. Os the present membership of the police commission ten are openly Ma son men. Two, W. G. Humphrey, are appointees of the mayor as chairman of the police committee, and Robert C. Clarke are independents. When Chief Beavers, through the influence of Chairman Mason, was elevated to his present position, only Commissioners Humphrey and Clarke rtoted against him. They voted for Assistant Chief Jett. Key Seems To Be In Mason’s Hands. There are one or two lukewarm Ma son men on the board, but at most, from the present attitude of the mem bers. Woodward could not possibly get more than five votes against Chairman Mason. As long as Chairman Mason chooses. Chief Beavers will continue to be chief and continue his vice crusade. Chief Beavers said today the war on vice will be continued. Although Mayor-elect Woodward de clared for strict segregation at the opening of the campaign, he has re fused to comment on Chief Beavers’ order closing the "houses in our midst.” In a heated argument with Chairman Mason at the Third ward polling place yesterday Woodward practically an nounced his fight on Chairman Mason. They have been bitter political enemies for years The city council was practically unanimous in Its opposition to Wood ward and the members are bewildered Continued on Page Two. J INAL * * ROOSEVRT, STRONGER, BEAD ID SEE BIS FAMILY *) Colonel Keeps Squad of Eminent Sur geons Waiting in Ante-Room of His Hospital Ward While He Greets Wife, Son and Two Daughters. Dr. Bevan announced this afternoon that one of Colonel Roosevelt’s ribs had been fractured when he was shot. Physicians' bulletins today showed that the condition of Col onel Roosevelt is practically normal. One of the doctors said that if the condition continued good he would be entirely out of danger by tonight. Mrs. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and his daughter, Miss Ethel, arrived in Chicago today from New York, and imme diately visited Colonel Roosevelt at the hospital, adding to the patient’s good cheer. Many messages were received by the colonel today, among them sympathies from King George of England, Emperor Wil liam of Germany, King Alfonso of Spain, King Victor Emanuel of Italy, and President Fallieres of France. The report of Professor E. W. Semmes, of Marquette uni versity, Milwaukee, showed that the bullet which was fired into Colonel Roosevelt’s breast was not poisoned. Ex-Senator Beveridge took up the colonel's campaign itiner ary today. The physicians decided not to probe today for the bullet. Will Not Probe for Bullet Today CHICAGO. Oct. 16.—The general condition of Colonel Roose velt was so good today that the physicians attending him said that unless he took a turn for the worse today he would be prac tically out of danger by tonight. They decided not to probe for the bullet in his breast today. The colonel spent a good night, and was feeling “fine." he said, today. He was further cheered by the arrival of Mrs. Roosevelt and son and daughter from New York. At 1 :30 p, ni. the following bulletin on Roosevelt’s condition was issued: Pulse 90. tempera ture 98.6 throughout entire morn ing; breathing easier. General condition ecellent. (Signed) .JOHN B. MURPHY ARTHUR DEAN BEVAN. CURRY L. TERRELL. The following bulletin was issued by the same physicians earlier: "The records show that Colonel Roosevelt passed a very good night. His temperature and pulse normal; his highest pulse since 9 o’clock last night was 80; temperature. 98.8, and his pulse at 6 o’clock this morning was 74: his temperature, 98.6. and respiration. 20. He is having less irritation of his pleura from the injured rib than he did ves terday, and he did not have an anodyne for the pain. General condition excel lent." Physician Waited On Family Gathering, While Chicago's most famous sur geons waited in an ante-room, com pelled to delay examination and con sultation over their distinguished pa tient. Theodore Roosevelt greeted Mrs. Roosevelt today. Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Ethel Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Dong worth arrived at Mercy hospital short ly after 9 o’clock, and were at once shown into the colonel’s room. The former president could hardly express his joy at seeing them. From the time that he heard they had entered the city the colonel’s hap piness bubbled over. "Were are they now?” he asked Wife Enters Ward First Alone. No time was lost In escorting Mrs. Roosevelt to her husnand's room. Word had been flashed to the hospital of the coming of the Roosevelt party. Dr. Scurry Terrell was waiting at the elevator and when Mrs. Roosevelt alighted she was led at once to her husband. "I am Dr. Terrell,” he said byway of introduction “The colonel Is waiting for you Jusi step down the hall with me ” Dr. Terrell led the way down the hal>. Mrs. Roosevelt walked by his side Miss Ethel and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., followed. At the door Mrs Roosevelt halted and glanced back at her chlldten Dr 2 cents Everywhere Terrell opened the door and Mrs Roosevelt stepped in alone and the dooi was closed. The others waited in th« corridor. The rest of the party then went intc the second room of the colonel’s suite and a few minutes later greeted their father. The colonel became slightly impa tient before the arrival of the members of his family and summoned John Mc- Grath, his secretary, who took a big sheaf of telegrams Into the sick room The colonel opened them and begar reading them at once. Just before Mrs. Roosevelt arrived the physicians who had examined the reports of the nurse during the nigh' and had talked with the internes and the colonel for a few moments issued the first formal bulletin of the morn ing The bulletin was exceedingly hopeful. It showed that the tempera ture was nearly normal and that the pulse this morning was slower than it was last night. Irritation from the wound was decreasing and conditions approximated normal. May Be Out Os Danger Today. The doctors were of the opinion that if no symptoms indicating infection arose during the day the colonel could be pronounced entirely out of danger. The colonel was in high spirits "I'm feeling bully,” was his greeting of Dr. Terrell, when the physician came to the hospital before the other physi cians attending him. Dr. Terrell tried to enforce the injunction against talk ing. but the colonel would talk. "Nonsense,” he said, when Dr Ter rell warned him. “I’m all right.” Miss Margaret Fitzgerald, the night nurse, pronounced Colonel Roosevelt an ideal patient after she went off duty this morning. “It is a duty of a nurse to forget her patient as soon as she leaves him,” said Miss Fitzgerald, “but I can not help remembering and feeling impressed by Colonel Roosevelt. His every move showed consideration for and under standing of those around him. His condition is pretty good. I am not a surgeon, of course, and do not under stand thoroughly the real bad features of a bullet wound and so can not ven ture an opinion on his future dangers "The colonel’s experience as a soldier has fitted him to know what is proper for him. He will not disobey the doc tor’s orders, but will help those In charge carry them out." Dr. Lambert was admitted to the colonel s room after a consultation with Dr. Terrell was finished. His stay in
