WATSON AND HARDWIcK

Tom Watson was nominated for
United Stotes Senator from Georgia
in the primary held this week, Sc.
curing clean majority over both his
competitors, Senator Hoke Smith and
Gov. Dorsey.
For Governor, Ex-senator Hardwick
is the leading candidate, securing 100
delegates to the state convention out
of o total of 1888, or only five less than
majority. A runoff primary will be
necessary in the race for governor.
The result in Georgia is remarkable
in that Watson and Hardwick were
both accused of treason or near-trea-
son during the war and both are OPP
posed to the United States entering
the League of Nations.

Most Fans Who SGW Game
Probably Still Think
Indians ScdLped YGnks
However, Way Ppp's Home Run in Ninth, With One On anC
One Out, Turned What Looked Like Sure Defeat Into
Victory.

With one out In the ninth inning
and the score three to two IN favor of
iris Speakers indians. Wally Pipp
hooked a swift straight ball that Bag
by had grooved for him, sending 1t
deep into right centre field against
the signboard for home run. The hit
scored Fewster. who ran for Lewis
from second, and turned gloomy de-
feat into victory after half Of the
$4,000 spectators had made their way
out Of the grounds.
A more thrilling finish has never
been witnessed at the Polo Grounds
than the second game OF the eventful
Cleveland Yankee series.
Pratt, the first man to face Bagby
in the ninth, was retired on an infield
hit. Lewis shot single down the
left foul line, Fewster being sent in to
run for him. Pipp, who had not been
hitting the Cleveland pitcher to any
great extent during the afternoon,
drove the ball straight against the
signboard and raced across the rub
Der with the winning run while the
opposing players looked on in amaze
ment.
Throughout the game the Indians
were outplaying the home team. The
inability of the heavy artillery Of the
Hugmen to solve the effective pitch
ing Of Bagby, while the League lead
ers touched Quinn freely for base hits,
served to put the Indians in the lead
in the fifth inning. which they held
until the thrilling ninth.
The Yanks got of to flying start
in the first inning. Aaron Ward sent
a long fly to Graney for an easy out.
Peckinpaugh singled through second
and short. Bagby walked Babe Ruth
Intentionally to get Pratt, who fiyed
out to centre field. Duffy Lewis
singled. sending Peck" home. Pipp
lined out TO Gardner.
A single by Wambsganss In the
fourth, a sacrifice and double by
Larry Gardner Melted the Cleveland
crowd a run.
A single by Bagby in the fifth and
a triple by Wambsganss gave the
visitors another tally,
In the Nth inning Smith, the Glove
land right fielder, drove one OF
Ouinn's offerings into the right field
bleachers for homer, putting an end
10 the scoring OF the Indians for the
afternoon.
Murderer's Row came to life in the
