HAVE SURMOUNTED GREAT HANDICAP AND HAVE ECU AL CHANGE WITH AMERICAN RIVALS
By IRWIN NJ. HOWE.

Boston, October 15.-(S pecial.)-Overcom- ing handicap that has been surnounted only once before in championship contests between American and National leagues teams. the New York Giants stand today at evens with their Boston rivals
 ' Smoky Joe Wood undertook the task of cIinching the championship for the Red sox but before a hand was out in the first inning it was apparent that he was not equal to the occasion. Whether 1t was the biting blast from the north, or the rhysical and mental strain that he has un- dergone in the last week that caused his downfall will not be determined until to- day. But whatever the reason the scrappy Giants had the game won at the end of the first inning
 sWretched weather conditions were as bad for Tesreau as for Wood, but there was no occasion to test the nerve of the Ozark Giant as the game was won before he threw a ball. It was by far the most poorly played game of the series on both sides. The gale which ragged across the Fens. freezing the combatants and blind Ing them with dust was accountable for the fumbles and misjudged flies.

GREENER THANKED
 BY H. B. HOWARD
Alleged That He Was Denied Oppor- tunity by City to Make
 Bond

Monday II. B. Howard, d well dressed young man. was arrested by the city po- lice on a charge of issuing a bank check without having sufficient funds to cover the amount. Later the case was trans ferred to the court of common pleas on warrant issued by Judge Abernethy. The check was made good by the young man and on the recommendation of the so- licitor the case was nolle pressed. yester- day afternoon, Attorney John Mcqueen representing MT. Howard.
 !, Addressing the court Mir Mcqueen said: Your honor, would like to say few brief words in regard to this case and the way in which Mir. Howard. my clent, has been treated. In the first place, I want to openly thank Jack Greener, the baliff of this court, for the courtesy he extended MT. Howard in giving him an opportunity to communicate with his friends, a courtesy that was denied him by the city authorities. He is a. young man of good family and well able to make any good bond that the city might have required had he been given the oppor- tunity.
 Tn contradiction to this unwarranted treatment on the part of the city officials MT. Howard was treated with much con- sideration by MT Greener and on his behalf I desire to thank him again. No man by reason of having friends is due any more consideration than any other unfortunate that might get into the clutches of the police court. but every man, no matter what his station of life, Is entitled to be treated fairly, and if he can make bond surely the opportunity should be given him to do so. This was denied MT. Howard. but thanks to the consideration shown by your bailiff the matter was easily adjusted, and as your honor understands without discredit to this young man. I again thank you"
 Judge Abernethy entered the order of dismissal and as the young man was leaving the court he went up to Jack Greener and gave him a hearty hand shake

ELECT WOODWARD MAYOR 0F ATLANTA Defeats Aldine Chambers by Majority of 717
 Votes

Atlanta, October 15.-James G. wood- ward today defeated Aldne Chambers by majority of TT votes in Atlantas sec ond mayoralty primary. which is equiva- lent to an election.
 Woodward boiled 52s1 votes against 4564 for Chambers. In the first primary held two weeks ago today's contestants boiled the highest vote.
 Interest in today's primary centered chiefly in the attitude shown by the can- didates in regard to the vice crusade re- gently inaugura ted by Chief of Police Beavers. Chief Beavers issued orders for the closing of every house in the restricted district and every disorderly place in the city.
 Chambers announced that he would sup port Beavers in the crusade if nominated. Woodward was non-committal. Many preachers in the city urged that votes be cast for Chambers at services held last Sunday. s-sz-sss-ias tsss.

ATLANTIC FLEET STEAMS OUT ID SEA Column Fifteen Miles Long
 Passes Before Taft MOBILIZATION IS OVER Hundreds of Thousands of New York; CTS View Spectacle From Shore.
 One Accident Marks Review,
 But Damage Is Slight
MOBILIZATION IS OVER

New York October 15.-The Atlantic fleet steamed out to sea-ths afternoon From the uper-dreadnaughts Arkansas and wyoming, to the tiniest submarine the 12s war vessels passed in review be- fore President Taft. The column was 15 miles long and was nearly two hours In passing.
 The Presidents watch Mayfiower dropped anchor half a mile to the north of the Statue of Liberty. Beside the Mayfiower anchored the gunboats Dol phln and Nashville, the former with Sec retary of the Navy Meyer aboard, the latter bearing newspaper men. MT. Meyer put off at once to the Mayhower and stood with the President on the bridge, while the long line moved majesticaily past.
 Flying the flag of Rear Admiral Os- terhaus, the fleet commander, the Con- necticut led the way with the Arkansas following. The Wyoming came 500 yards behind the Arkansas, and with the same space between them came the remainder of the 32 battleships and the division of cruisers When abreast the Mayfiower the Connecticut fired a six pounder. It was the first gun of the long presiden- tial salute.
 Tens of thousands of3persons blackened the shore lines of the Hudson as the fleet steamed out. Another army viewed the pageant from downtown skyscrapers. Still other thousands were aboard a fleet of ex- cursion steamers. For three hours the Hudson was cleared of traffic, and with one notable exception, not so much as tugboat stirred from her dock. The ex- ception was the North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm IT. She reached quarantine as the first of the battleships passed the Mayfower, and because she had aboard the mails she was permitted to go to her dock.
 One accident marked the review when the torpedo boat Craven bumped against lighter. She appeared at first to be badly injured, but an examination proved she had been damaged but Slightly. She went unassisted to the Brooklyn navy yard for repairs.
 After the last of the destroyers had passed, Secretary Meyer returned to the Dolphin, the Mayf1ower Dolphin and Nashville weighed anchor and started up- stream, and the greatest fleet ever as- sembled in the western world had sailed away.

NEW YORK GIANTS STAND ON EVEN FOOTING WITH RED SOX

The breaks of the game were all in fa- vor of New York. as they were also in the first game which the Giants lost and in the sixth which they won on Monday.
 Good fortune however, does not of it. self account for the New York victory Boston risked everything on Wood and when he failed the entire team broke and played bad ball The Giants style of at tack is exactly suited to get the most out of the favors luck may bring. For ex- ample, momentary tumble by Wagner Of a scratch hit by Devore put the little fel- low on first in the first inning. Had Lewis been running he could have been caught three steps on the same play Wood then passed Doyle and while he vas winding up to deliver the ball to Snodgrass, Devore and Doyle worked a double steal. There are no atwos playesr in the regular Boston lineup who are capable of pulling that kind of play un- der like circumstances
 Remember, there were two out 1t was the first inning, they were facing man who had beaten them twice and strong armed, alert catcher behind the bat. The Boston system would have been to wait for a hit, and then another hit. Too ire duently in this series, from a Boston view point, the second and third hits of the round have not been forthcoming.
 Critics are now discussing the manner in which the Red Sox twirlers have been rotated I cannot agree with those who think Stahl used conspicuously poor judg- bent If he erred at all it was in not removing Collins earlier in the second game. That game was lost, however, by poor coaching and worse base running.
 Today before the opening gun of .ne last battle has been fired, the fans have the privilege. as they had ten days ago, of picking the winner It Is too tough I problem for us
