University. Mayor James G. Woodward’s attack on the new charter and the city officials who are supporting it at the meeting of the South Side Im provement Association, In the Pryor Street School Thursday night, has resulted in a movement to get up a bigger meeting to hear a second speech and put more ginger In the election fight. The fact that there were less than 100 persons present caused Mayor Woodward to declare that the crowd was not big enough for him to go fully Into Atlanta’s political situation, but if they .would get up a real meet ing he w'ould give them some “red- hot” 8tuff. Leaders in the organization have taken him at his word, and in an ticipation of a stirring campaign be tween now and the election on the new charter on September 24, are planning to give Mayor Woodward an opportunity to spread himself. Charges “Ring” Runs Boards. Judging by his attacks Thursday night, which were so hot that Dr. J. G. Bradfield, chairman of the meet ing, left during the talk and later resigned his chairmanship, the next speech is expected to be a “hum dinger.” He amplified some of his statements in an interview Friday morning, and here are the ideas he wants impressed: “That a ‘ring’ is In control of a majority of every board n the city, and that Dr. J. H. Bradfield is a member of th. t ‘ring.’ “That the object of the new char ter is to perpetuate his ‘ring’ of bossism. “It abolishes the Police Commis sion and creates a Board of Public Safety. Under the present charter the chairman of the Police Commission is prevented from succeeding hlmse f on the commission ut the expiration of his term next March. Charter Framet by “Gang.” “The object of the adoptlpn of the new charter is to get him elected on the new board and turn over the fire department to the same old crowd that has been running the police de partment. "The new charter was framed In a back room of private offices by i gang of men who would tell you, the people, to go to h—, if you’ll pardon the phrase, if it served their pur pose.” Turning to the more personal phases of the meeting Thursday night, Mayor Woodward said that ho had nothing but good will in hl» heart for ex-Mayor Courtland S. Winn, and that he was going to call him up and explain his attitude to day. He recalled the exact words Which Dr. Bradfield Interpreted \a an attack on his brother-in-law. ex- Mavor Winn, and left the meeting. “I asked them why they had not gotten Improvements on the South Side,” said Mayor Woodward. “I told them they had had the Mayo/ and a majority of the Council from their section. Denies Mentioning Winn. “Later I said if the city govern ment had continued to be run as it was the last six months of last year, the city’s income would not be suffi cient to pay the installments on il legal moral obligations, to say noth ing of the fixed expenses of running the city. “I never mentioned Mayor Winn’s name. “If Dr. Bradfield is so averse to as sociating with me, he might resign from the Board of Health.

Two games, the first one called at 1:30 o'clock, will be played by the At lanta and Mobile clubs this afternoon at Ponce DeLeon. On those two games—on either of them—depends the fate of the pen nant race of 1913. As the two clubs take the field for the first battle Atlanta will be one game back of Mobile. Winning that first game, the season's count will be aH, square, and It will be up to the second game. Losing the first encounter—all chance for the pennant virtually van ish e#i. One Wild Hope Would Remain. Only one wdld hope would remain— that the Crackers might win the sec ond game and beat Chattanooga to morrow', w'hlle Charley Frank’s Peli cans trounced the Gulls in their two meetings to-morrow and Sunday. And that 1s. Indeed, a wild hope. Also, it looks like rain. Mr. VonHerrmann w-ag as non committal as possible at 9 o'clock this morning, but he hoped it would be dry this afternoon. That makes It unanimous, so far as the hope goes—unless Mique Finn has a fancy to balk the issue and let the games go by default. But it must be said for the genial Mique that he never has showed him self to be that kind of a ffport. He’s a good kind. Miquo Is, and we’re for him. In everything except this 1913 pennant business. Record Crowd Certain. Needless to sny, the games to-day will be for blood. The Crackers are fighting mad at the chance that slipped yesterday. The Gulls, encour aged by their lucky turn in the ninth, are full of pep and vim. » There will be a whale of a crowd. Many of the business houses aro clos ing for the afternoon, allowing both chiefs and employees to go to the game. A brass band is in prospect— and there will be a chance to con tribute to tho “Cracker Fund,” which it now appears is to go to the plucky Atlanta ball players, win, lose or draw. Last call for the pennant of 19131 Even Cigar Stores Close for Game. One pretty good example of busi ness patriotism to the cause of the Crackers is shown by the cigar stores of Atlanta—a class of business that stays open all the time, Sundays, hol idays and every day. Headed by the Harbour Smoke House, a majority of the stands will be closed all afterno^a, and the em ployees will go out .to root for the Crackers. This will be the first day the Smoke House has been closed in seven years, for any event, holiday ec reckon, / » A /
