ball game which takes place at Ponce
de Leon field this afternoon between
the University of Georgia and Georgia
Tech.
A week ago the odds were decidedly
In favor of Georgia, but local senti
ment has changed. It is believed here
that they are more evenly matched
than any big teams which stand a
prospect of meeting each other in the
south this season.
It is estimated that fully 10,000 peo
ple will witness the contest. Both
teams are the best that their respec

for several years past, and both are
admittedly well coached.
Auburn-Texas Game.
Austin, Texaa, Nov. 18.—Ideal foot^

Labor Leaders
Busy in Atlanta
By Associated Press.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18.—An appeal
was made today by the socialists to
the American federation of labor, in
convention here to help them in their
fight to elect Job Herriman mayor of
Los Angeles.
The following letter from the na
tional executive committee of the so
cialists was read to the convention by
President Gompers:
“The national executive committee
of' the socialists party on motion of
Victor Li Berger has adopted the fol-
i lowing motion: ‘That a request be
made'to the American federation of
I labor through President Gompers and
' Secretary Morrison that the federation
' assist financially in the Los Angeles
i campaign and thus prove the solidarity
of ’ labor.’
“As you know, the enemies of labor
• are making a determined effort to
. break the spirit of the workers in
i Los Angeles. They have chosen that
city as the battle ground where they
hope to crush labor so completely that
it will not lift its head in self respect
! and struggle for Its rights again. They
are making this attempt both on the
economic and political field. Just at
present the fiercest part of the strug
gle Is on the political field. If the en
emy should succeed it would have a
disheartening effect upon the labor
movement everywhere.
Qn the other hand. In the language
of Jolm Spra^o, a member of our ex
ecutlve committee, ‘No man doubts
that the election of Herriman would be
a great gain for the McNamaras and
the cause of labor unions.’. The clr-
cuMstances are wholly exceptional. I
am safe in saying that our national
comipittee thoroughly understands the
non-political character of your iKjdy.
We are not asking you for any gen
eral endorsement of the socialist par
ty or Its principles or politics. Any
action you may take In this matter
will be so considered.”
Mr. Gompers, who Is chairman of
the committee on labor representation,
to which the letter was referred, said
later that the socialists could rest as
sured that the federation would do all
In Its power to assist in tbe election
of the socialist candidate.
TIm convention was in session but a
short time today, adjourning early
again to permit the various commit
tees to continue with their work.
It Is understood that the resolu
tions committee has practically de
cided to report adversely on th« reso
lution requesting President Gompers
and other labor leaders to severe
their co^hepttoo with tbe national civ
ic fed(»wtlioni ^l»o 09 the. respl^on

expected to oppose the adoption of the
report.
Little hope Is held out for an agree
ment being reached in the dispute be
tween the carpenters and the build
ing trades department. The carpenters
insist upon dictating the terms In the
event they are re-instated by the de
partment and the adjustment commit
tee, which is holding daily hearings
on the controversy, is not inclined to
recommend their re-lnstatement un
less they will agree to abide by the

Shanghai, China, Nov. 18.—It was
expected here this morning that the
revolutionaries and the imperial troops
would come to a clash before nightfall
somewhere in the district between
Chin Kiang and Nanking. If revolution
ary forecasts are correct, this will be
the beginning of the decisive battle of
the war.
Attack. Carefully Planned.
Therevolutionary strategists have
planned their attack carefully. During
the past three days a large body of
rebel troops with guns, provisions, am
munition and horses has been dis
patched from Shanghai for Chin Kiang
by rail. Thence they are advancing
today on Nanking. 46 miles distant,
j Simultaneously other bodies of troops
are converging on the imperial out-
1 posts via the Yang Tse river and a
small tributary stream from the Inte
rior with the object of delivering at
tacks from three sides.
Rebel Equipment.
The equipment of the revolutiona
ries is excellent and they are well offi
cered, many of the leaders had foreign
(military training. The enthusiasm of
' the troops is amazink. Many have dead
relatives to avenge and all are wrought
up ao the highest pitch by accounts
of the atrocities perpetrated at Nan*
king by General Chang’s troops.
Estimates of the strength of the Im-
jperial forces vary widely. The back
bone of Chang’s army appears to con

Lond(m, Nov. 18.—The Venezuelan
consul here received cable advices'
today from Caracas informing him
that ex-Presldent Castro, at the head
of a considerable body of revolution
ists, has met with a disastrous defeat
near San Cristobal.
Castro’s whereabouts have been a
matter of considerable uncertainty for
several months. The Venezuelan cen
sors have allowed little Hews of him
or of the present revolutionary move
ment to shift through. Dispatches from
neighboring countries have made it
evident that a revolutiph'of some se
riousness was either brewing or al
ready launched but most advices have
carefully insist^ that Castro had no
part Ih the proposed uprising.
The most reient news on the sub
ject came from' Wlllemstead, Curacao,
on Thursday last. This was that Cas
tro . was residing on his estate at
Cucuta, Columbia, on the Venezuelan
frontier. Cucuta is less than fifty miles
from San Cristobal, where Castro’s
defeat Is reported.
The moment that Castro crossed the
frontier he would find himself face
to face with serious opposition. Pres
ident Gomez had had 3,000 men mob
ilized near the border ready to fall on
tunmunltion and poorly equipped with
artillery.
