A petition asking tho State Legisla-

Association at Hotel Ansley Wednes-

At noon the petition had been
signed by more than 1900 persons
and it is expected that before he

Of several thousand GeorgIans who
believe Georgia women should be al

The legislative committee Of the
State Association, of which Mrs W.

Georgia suffrag ists went on record
for the first time as officially indors-

voted unanimously to support the
candidates Of the State Federation Of
Labor for the Legislature and the
Board Of County Commissioners
The action was taken a the request
Of Mrs Karl karston, of the Women
Label League. Her suggestion that
the association give the candidates
lis support rrecipitated a warm de-
bate in which several objected, IN
the ground that the constitution Of
the organization prohibited such
step.
The obstacle was overcome by
motion asking unanimous consent to
uspend the constitution in order that
the Endorsement might be made. The
motion was made by Leonard Cross
man. attorney for the association.

Before the world series is decided
1t will probably be found that brains

teams in the country have better field

George Stallings is admittedly one Of
the sraartest men in baseball today,

equally as well known as a brainy ball

has taken a tail-end team and made il
the winner OF the National League per-

Evers is the captain of the Boston

much credit for the showing of the

profit of a swat, and the chances he
had blown made the Boston rooters
groan as they saw their scoring visions

at last-at last he rose, and he banged
one on the nose-and the second game

the need of one was great. and on
Manns unerring single he came sprint

inning that he scored the needed run,
and although the Mackmen struggled
they were finished. they were done.

Navy Officials Blamed
For Acute Situation

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Stubbornnes
on the part of those in control Of ath-
letic affairs at the Naval Academy is
blamed for the present acute situation
in athletic relations between the two
service schools of the United States, in
the opinion Of the members Of the Army
and Navy Club. A canvass Of the SEN
timents of the officers of both branches
of the service discloses the fact that
there would be keen disappointment
among the graduates If there came any
interruption to the annual football
struggle between the elevens of the ca
diets and the midshipmen.
Navy officers declare that the An
napoIis authorities should concede
point to the rather fair proposition Of
the Army council. which proposes a ten
year agreement with games alternating
between cities selected by the rival in
stitutions no further North than New
York and no further South than Wash

Two Sets of Brains
Scrapping Out Series

tain and acting manager Of the Ath-
letics. is Mack's first lieutenant. Davis
is one Of the smart men Of baseball.
and it Is a peculiar coincidence that
when he went to Cleveland as manager
there the Athletics had a slump. Davis
also proved a failure as manager of
Cleveland and went back with Mack,
where the combination has since proved
a winning one.
These two strategy boards are now
engaged in lighting for the worlds base
ball title. Stallings and Mack are on
the bench, but Evers and Davis are out
there in uniform. Evers is the scrappy
second baseman and field captain of the
Braves. Davis is the third base coacher
for the Mackmen. However this series
comes out. it is certain that these two
boards will have much to do with the re-
suit

CONF F|DENCE BESTS

Miracle Team of Boston Stops
Supposedly Irresistible At
tacks of Mackmen.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Oct. 11.-This
miracle team from Boston fought the
Athletics to standstill yesterday, stop
ped their supposedly irresistible attacks
by superb pitching and brilliant fielding,
and after they had broken the spirit and
the hopes of Philadelphia. they made
one run and won the game, TO 0.
There is no discounting the fact that
spirit and fire and sheer confidence tri-
umphed over the superior strength and
ability of the worlds champions. 1t iS
evident. too, that the Athletics, for
the first time in their victorious career
finding themselves forced and pressed
