like $4,000 wide-eyed and wild-eyed
fans in the Giants own ballyard yes
terday looking for adventure When
Washington forged ahead with a
patched-up team and sore-armed
pitcher on the mound $4,000 Of those
fans rose to their feet and howled
with ghoulish glee. For two innings
the crowd had sat silent. The Giants
had made an unearned run in the
first inning. They were off in a cloud
of dust and Washington once more
was the underdog. No cheers greeted
the Giant run. 1t was Washington all
over again.
Crowd Breaks Loose.
Then came the Goose's sma sh.
Silence reigned no more. From that
moment to the end of the game the
stands bubbled with excitement and
good humor. Ordinarily, in game
of this sort if the visiting firemen
tried to start anything the home
boys" would have squelched them.
But there We're not any home boys"
at the Polo Grounds. So far as root
ing and loyalty was concerned. the
game might have been played in the
Capital. 1t seemed as if some magic
carpet had picked up the Giants
playing field and set it down on
Georgia avenue in the District of Co
lumbia.
Maybe the mob psychology had
something to do with it. In any
event the Nationals, despite their
crutches, seemed like a different
team. Everybody understands now
why Mondays exhibition was so list
less and uninteresting. Washington
was losing that day.
Just what is back of the over
whelming pull" that is going up for
the Senators here in the home town

OF course. New York is divided city.
Perhaps the Yankees of the American
League are more popular than the
Giants of the National League at all
times. At the moment, the Giants are
just about as popular the itch.
They are playing wonderful ball.
They are displaying a fighting quail
ity which is equal to that of the
visitors. But they are standing out
there alone in their own backyard.
Some persons insist that the scandal
which swept over the Giants just be-
fore the series started has turned the
fans against them. That seems hard
ly true. for New Workers are not
known entirely for their virtues or
for their squeamishness in seizing a
means to an end.
New Workers were for Washington
before the scandal ever broke. They
were for Washington when the Ma

DAUBERT BADLY OFF
AFTER AN OPERATION

CINCINNATI, Ohio, October s.
Friends of Jacob f. Daubert first
baseman and captain of the Cincin-
natl Reds, were alarmed when word
came from the hospital that the
veteran infielder had failed to rally,
as was expected, from recent opera
tion he underwent for appendicitis,
and that his condition was serious.
DIR. H. II. Hines, club physician,
who operated on Daubert, said the
patients condition was due to his
being in poor physical condition for
several months before he entered the
hospital.
Daubert, while under the care of a
physician, left his home in Pennsyl-
vania to join the Reds in a barn
storming trip after the close of the
season. Arriving at Cincinnati he
was taken i'll and entered the hospital

Members of the party took to
batteau which was being towed and
were in imminent danger of perish
ing when sighted by the skipper of
a prawn boat which was making it's
way to port.
The launch Regal went to the bot
tom just as the last member of the
party reached the batteau.
The launch. Regal, was chartered
by Young Leeds during his stay on
Jekyl island. He announced that he
could handle the little craft without
difficulty. 1t was never thought,
however, that he would venture
This he did Saturday afternoon.
The trip to st. Simons was made
successfully, despite the wind, and
when the party was nearing Jekyl
creek, on the return, the little craft
filled with water in a rolling sea,
and the party rushed for life pre-
servers and made for the batteau.
Some Of the party went into the
water in their haste to reach the
smaller boat.

the party found it impossible to
handle the batteau in the heavy sea.
and While they were struggling with
it, the prawn boat made quick
run to the scene, rescued the party,

Young Leeds and his princess
wife had been on Jekyl island the
last two weeks as guests of Colonel
George Harvey. The entire party is
scheduled to leave for New York to-

Thought to have been murdered or

Instrumental in having the river
repeatedly dragged in an effort to re-
cover the body, left Douglasville
saturday night for West Palm
Beach to investigate the report that
his brother is living there.
According to dispatches to The
journal from its correspondent at
1Douglasville the belief that 2. r.
.Baggett may be alive arose when his
Mife, who resides in Douglasville, re-
Eeived a letter from her son, Duncan

Many citizens Of Douglasville, it
was reported, always have shared
the sheriff's belief that p. r. Bag

without reservations the report that
he had been located.
Disappeared In October
P. r. Baggett disappeared late on
the afternoon of October &c en-
route to Douglasville after a trip to
ATLANTA.
A day later his automobile truck
and hat were found on Mayson-
|Turner road at the bridge over the
IChattahoochee river. Near the
truck was a small pool of blood this
giving rise to the belief that the
missing man had been murdered.
An investigation was begun inn
media tely and for several days,
posses of citizens and police sought
near the river and dragged the
stream itself in an effort to locate
the body.
All efforts to find trace of the
missing man proved fruitless, and
after the river had been dragged as
| far south as Hamiltons ferry, the
search was abandoned.
Baggett's wife and seven ch''dren
