MAY DIE OF INJURY.
Critical Condition of Young Woman
From Whipping.

Essie Carter, the young white girl
who was whipped at Dawson, Ga,
Sunday night by party of prominent
men, headed by W. S. Dozier, clerk of
the Superior Court, is at the point Of
death in hospital in Macon, Ga The
probability is that the men who whip
ped her eventually will be tried for
murder, as the physicians are almost
hopeless for her recovery. The girl
has high fever and there are symp-
toms of blood poisoning.
Miss Carter's body is so swollen that
she is in constant agony. There is
scarcely an inch of flesh from her
neck down that is not cut and discolor-
ed, and she cannot bear the touch Of
either clothing or bandages.
Two Macon attorneys have been en-
gagged to prosecute w. S. Dozier,
Clyde Dozier, and Pope McClung, who
are charged with doing the whipping
by the victim and her sister, Mary
Carter. The proceedings which have
begun also will implicate at least a
dozen other prominent men of Daw-
son.
Essie Carter was whipped because
w. S. Dozier's son was infatuated
with hes and she refused to swear
that she would never meet the young
man again.
She says: II loved Vogt Dozier,"
she said this afternoon, "and he loved
me. Because he would not give me
up, though l urged him to do SO to
please his father, the latter and his
friends whipped me almost to death.
Dozier and his friends carried me off
in an automobile Sunday night to a
grove near Dawson. When they got
me there they stripped me to the skin
and while four men held me Dozier
lashed me with buggy whip. A COL
ored chauffeur held the lantern so that
he could see where to hit me-"
When the man who did the flogging
stopped to rest, saying as he did that
he was not yet satisfied, the woman's
back was mass of bruises and she
was screaming with pain
Friends sent for Drs. Gardner
and Crumbley, and when they arrived
they found her nearer dead than alive
and almost choked from the gag which
had been made from her dress, when
she was stripped for the flogging. She
was sent to Macon next day for treat
ment.
The Carter girl alleges that jim
Dozier tried his best to stop his father
from welding the whip. In the mean
time, she says Vogt Dozier, the boy
for whom she was whipped, was held
a prisoner in the house of another
brother. She asserts that her fiance
was lured to the house and kept there
by force until she had been beaten.
D. S. Dozier admits whipping the
girl, but says he did it to save his son.
Young Dozier is so enraged over the
whipping of Miss Carter that he has
threatened to shoot his father and 9th
ers who took part in the affair.

of the moist ball who is second to
none. The Big Bear has been the
sensation of the National league
season Cool and confident. with
great speed, curve and a splitter
that darts away like a frightened
bird, he will be tough proposition
for the enemy to solve. One of
Tesreaus best points is that the
further he goes the better he gets.
His weakness is that he Is inclined
to be wild in the early stages of
the battle.
Mathewson scarcely needs COM
ment. A veteran of many hard
fought fields, and one Of the great
est money pitchers in the world, he
is absolutely sure to twirl a good
game, whether he wins or loses.
There is no assemblage large
enough to shake his nerve and no
batter skillful enough to conceal
from Blk Six" whatever batting
weakness he may have.
Joe Wood, Of the Red Sox. is
considered by many the most dan
gerous boxman in the big leagues
today. He has terrific speed and
breaks his fast ball close by the
batters chin, where it is hardest
to hit In addition to his smoke"
he has a low curve which darts
away from the batter at an in
credible angle. Wood is also pos
sessed of a great slow ball and the
brains to mix 'em up" as the
players say. He, like Tesreau, is a
little inclined to be wild.
Collins, who will probably be
Woods running mate in the series.
is a reliable left-hander with a
sweeping curve, a good crossfire
ball and fine control.
McGraw's third pitcher will be
RUDE Marquard. Early in the sea
son Marquard blazed like a comet
across the baseball sky, but later
fell into an almost unaccountable
slump, from which he appears TO
be just recovering The last game
the RUDE pitched showed promise
of his old-time form
For Boston, either Hall or
O'Brien will probably be third
choice. Hall is the more depend
able pitcher of the two and O'Brien
the more brilliant. Crandall will
certainly get into some of the
games, either as a pinch hitter or
relief pitcher. His great work in
the worlds series last year is still
remembered by the fans.
Ames, Wiltse and Bedient will
hardly appear, unless it is to fin
tsh out some of the battles.

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-Forty-
~ five thousand rabid baseball
fans will have damned their
way into the massive stands at the
Polo Grounds by o'clock this after
noon when the umpire in chief will
send the Giants and Red Sox off
on their Journey for the worlds til
tie.
At noon there were over $4,000
persons within the walls and the
early rush has the police so busy
that for the nonce they complete
ly forgot the Becker Rosenthal
case.
When the gates were thown
open at 8 o'clock. 10000 perfectly
sane persons who had suffered a
long cold night from encampment
around the park made a wild rush
for the ticket sellers windows. The
police soon whipped them back into
line-a line one mile long of grim
ly tenacious but weary fans.
AS soon as the purchasers sep
arated themselves from the prop
err price Of their ducat. they filed
into the stands. They came well
supplied with overcoats, blankets
and eats. Two hundred women
were in the line when the tin-can
studded side Of Coogan's Bluff was
first outlined in the grey Of a chilly
October morn.
Both teams enter into the strug-
gle today confident OF being re-
turned the winner. The Red Sox,
resting and waiting the gong in
Breton Hall hotel. well outside the
bug belt, announce that they are
in good shape.

-McGraw. Stahl, with Wagner

proved an able leader. He has
shown fine discrimination i'm the
use of his pitchers and has led his
team to a championship over such
rivals as the Athletics. who, before

Johnson Predicts
Long Series, With
Red Sox VictorS
BY BYRON BANCROFT JOHNSON

president of the American Leasue.)
The American league will main
tain it's supremacy in organized
baseball. have no doubt about
this. Boston is the greatest bunch of
champions that over won the pen
nant in my circuit. The team which
Jake StahI commands is capable,
game and consistent. No team ever
showed such marked consistency
during full campaign.
! do not underestimate the strength
of the National league champions.
New York has a fine team, but |
do not think it is any stronger than
year ago. On the other hand, I
think that Boston today is the equal
of the Athletics of 1911.
In a short series pitching usu-
ally cuts a great figure and no bet
ter pitching staff can be found any

; corps commanded by Mr.. StahI. Joe

would not be at all surprised
to see long series, but as | said
in my opening sentence, have no
doubt that the American league will
maintain its supremacy in organized
baseball
first to their strength on the mound.
Before going into any comparisons
of the Giants and Red Sox's pitch
ers, let US look over the twirlers
who have already beaten Boston
this year
Stahl's men have lost At games
during the season. OF these Wash
ington won 10 Philadelphia Z, Chi
cago 6, Cleveland H. Detroit 6, ST
Louis 3 and New York 2.
For the Senators, johnson has
beaten the Red Sox three times,
Groom three times, Hughes twice
and Cashion and Akers once apiece.
Johnson presented them with one
of their few shutouts and he and
Hughes on separate occasions held
them to three hits. Plank, of the
Athletics. has Won four games from
Stahls men. Coombs is another
man who allowed the warriors from
the Hub but three hits in one bat
tie.
As far as the Chicago White Sox
are concerned, Walsh has been the
bette noire of the men from Boston.
The big spit baller has defeated
them on five occasions. Once he
shut them out, to 0, allowing them
but two safeties On another occa-
sion, he gave them three hits. Benz
won the other game for the White
Sox.
Almost all the Cleveland pitchers
have given the Red Sox trouble.
Gregg won from them four times,
Kahler, Baskette and Banding each
twice and Steen once. on Septem-
Der Il, Blanding gave them but
two hits and on September Is,
Baskette beat them to 0.
Dubuc won three games for the
Tigers, Willett two and Lake one
against Boston Lake was the man
who broke Joe Woods great win
ming streak
For St. Louis Baumgardner beat
the men from the Hub twice. and
Hamilton, Allison and Howell each
handed them one defeat
Ford and Mcconnell are the only
Highlanders who were able to take
game from the Champions
In summing up this list It is
fairly evident that the best left
handlers and spit ballers have given
the Red Sox trouble For instance.
