Inauguration Day Will Be a Busy
One for Her, as She Will Celebrate
the Occasion by Working Hard
Moving Her Household Effects

Mrs. John NJ. slaton will become
the first lady of Georgia quietly and
simply-and naturally-when her
husband is inaugurated Governor next
Saturday and when the Stations move
into the Executive Mansion at Peach
tree and Cain Streets. There will be
no fuss or feathers to mark the event,
not even the conventional reception
to the General Assembly, until several
days or a week after the inaugural
day.
The reception to the Legislature is
always the official housewarming for
the new jewellers in the Governors
Mansion. and Mrs. slaton is eager to
work out plans for that event. But
being the wife of a very busy Gov
ernor-e elect is not without Its trials.
IT have not yet been able to get the
ear Of Governor SIaton for a little
chat about home matters" she said
yesterday with little laugh that was
half merged in a sincere sigh. Then
she enlisted the reporter to help her.
Il wish you would find out from
him about the best day for the recep-
ton" she requested "and let his wife
know. But never mind, I'll buttonhole
him this evening at dinner and put in
a claim for a few minutes of his time,
anyhow"
Will Make Mansion Home.
Mrs. Slaton is accepting her duties
of state and Of official position as
nonchalantly as those who know her
would expect. To make a home Of
the Executive Mansion is the one am
bition that she has expressed.
81 want to live as simply as I have
tried to live always" she said. "Of
course, there will be new responsible
ties for me, as for my husband, but
with the Governors Mansion a home
as I want to make 1t, these responsi-
bilities are not frightful."
The Slaton home at the corner of
Peachtree and Pine Streets is one of
the most beautiful Of a city full Of
beautiful homes, and the Slaton coun-
try home on Peachtree Street is as
deIectable. The odds are easily in ia
vor of her success in memaking
venture at the Governors house.
The beautiful home on Peachtree
and Pine Street virtually will be closed
for two years, now that the Stations
will move into the official residence,
1t has been closed, however, for more
than a month already. the members Of
the family having betaken themselves
to the country house at the first ap-
proach of the warm days.
Governor and Mrs. Slaton probably
will resume their stay in the Peach
tree Road place at the close Of the
session Of the Legislature, during all
of which 80 days they will be at home
officially, intimately, Hospitality, in
the mansion at the corner of Cain
Street
Life Program Unchanged.
Living in the Governors Mansion
shouldn't necessitate so radical a,
change in a persons program of life
Mrs. Slaton said yesterday. It was
plain that the Governors Mansion
under the Stations will be the same
CHEEKY, wholesome home as the place
at the Pine Street corner and the
place on Peachtree Road Her next
words provd it.
There must always be extra places
at the table. and always an open
house"

no undesirable task for her

The Greatest Baseball Fan Picks
Athletics to Win the Worlds Series

To begin with, | want TO say that
I don't consider myself the best little
dopester that ever spotted cinch

Two years ago | picked the Cardi-

know how they've done it-and
that's enough.
When I'm not busy at being fan
and IL ladmit I'm the most rabid
bug that ever bit at an umpire

II where | live. and I've kept pretty
close tab on the situation.
I like the Athletics in this night
for a number of reasons. First, be-
cause they can everlastingly smear

Second, because they have couple

Third, because they have the field
ers to back up this pitching and pro-
tect II.
Fourth. because they're smart

And. NTH. because they oan play
baseball-and play 1t up, down. around
and through the middle. all Is ways
and back again, without break.
But mainly like EN- because they
can hit. I've watched that batting
order come up In q tight game. and
I've watched the other pitcher. For
three or four innings he might pitch
his head OF and get by" But the
strain would get him. and around the
nfth inning | could see him weaken,
his curve ball straighten out and his
smoke fade. The Job Of facing six or
seven 800 hitters In q row had got
ten in its work.
When he started to ease up there
would BIZ . sound like q barrel OF
crockery rolling down cellar stair
way.
That's what the Giants have got to
90 up against. McGraw has some
grand pitching flesh, but q bat Is big
ger than q ball.
Look at what Mathewson or Mar
guard must tackle. First, there's Ed
die Murphy, q 800 hitter; then RUDE
Oldring, another; II these two are
nailed there are Collins, Baker. Nc
Innis and Strunk still waiting.
II he gets By one. the next Is still
harder. What's the good in tanning
Collins to get at Baker? Any one
Of these guys Is liable to break up

Youngsters viii Get q

With Mack This Season

In former years when Aack's
team was In the worlds series he
depended entirely on his veteran
pitchers to stop the opposition.
II In not likely. however. that he

shine In the big games.
On the face Of these prospects
there IL no getting away from the
fact that the Athletics appear
handicapped. and yet It has hap
pened before that some mediocre
players may shine In the worlds
series. George Robe. for instance.
won the series for the Sox over
the Cubs In 1906. Robe was .
rather ordinary player and was
sent TO the minors the following
year. yet II was his hitting which
defeated the Cubs.
Pittsburgh's star when the Pr
rates defeated the Tigers was
Babe Adams. Adams was not
taken seriously before those
games. He was an inexperienced
twirler. and yet he won three Of
the games for the Pirates, though
he has been but an ordinary Per
former since.
So It may be that Brown, Bush
or Houck, Mack's youthful twirl-
ers, may have q chance to shine.

Charlie White was for several sea-
sons a good jabber. but did not do
any effective hitting until about
eighteen months ago, when he broke
Kid Julian's jaw.
Since then he has hit harder In
each consecutive go, and at present
he Ia regarded as one of the hardest
swatters Of his weight In the business.
He and Mccoy were sallow looking
lads until they began to develop
