' (By Fred G. Warde.)
The Atlanta meeting It seems from
my observation was In every particu
lar as successful as could possibly
have been hoped for.
The Tuesday meeting before the At
lanta Rotary Club, attended by ap
proximately 150 Rotarlans, was an
Ideal initial meeting, giving the Bruns
wick delegation a splendid opporturfi
ty to place before this great body of
business men, the purpose of their
visit to Atlanta and give considerable
publicity to the meeting that was to
be held before the Chamber of Com
merce the following day. Tom Law.
the president of the Atlanta Rotary
Club, had the situation well in hand
and appealed to every Rotarian pres
ent not to fail to attend the big meet
ing that was to be held Wednesday a'
12:80 o’clock.
In the forenoon of Tuesday, the At
lanta delegation composed of Geo. H
Hmlth. Millard Reese. A. I* Church

a half’s talk on the plan that the

one of the Georgia ports. The inter
view seemed to be favorable to Bruns
wick. *
On Wednesday at 12:30, the entire
delegation was the guests at luncheon
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
and In two remurkably well-prepared
and well delivered papers, Geo. H.
Smith and Millard Reese, of Bruns
wick, explained In a very forceful,
but nevertheless, conservative man
ner, the method that these gentlemen
conceived would be the most, effective
in establishing Brunswick as a ren'
port. Both speeches were well recelv
ed and highly complimented.
Vice President Newell, of the At
lanta Chambef of Commerce, acting

who was away from the city. In hts in

New York, Oct 6.—New York
Americans made world series history
today by shutting out the Giants, three
to nothing in the second game, the
struggle leaving the Nationals runless
after egihteen innings played in the
first two games. The Yankees did this
lively work on bases and the best pos
sible use of their hits, supported
throughout by brilliant twirling with
their young right handed star.
Hoyt allowed only, two measley sin
gles. Nehf, for the Giants, pitched a
three-hit game, but his own error was
one of the breaks in the Giants' de
fense.
+ The first run came in the fourth iu*
ning when Wrd. seemingly trying ,to

!Nally's grounder and threw wild to
second. Shank walked and Ward
scored while Rawlings was throwing

Ruth tallied while Rawlings was
throwing out Pipp at first, Meusel

Nally’s feat of yesterday.
Ruth walked up the other three
times and stole second and third in
the fifth, while the crowd of thfrtv
four thousand, nine hundred and thir
ty-nine fans, roared. Nehf seemed to
be pitching to Ruth but trying to cut
corner, resulted in bases on balls.
