When Indians Held the Crowd.

Real limitations of the Sioux war
cry came from pro-Giant rooters in
the seventh when the Indian Myers
slammed one of the Indian Bender's
curves for a double, and the proponents
of the American League champs"
talked whole bales of good advice to
the score board, just as if they were
shouting encouragement to real play
ers on a real diamond.

yuh t pass Devore, SO yuh'd have play
at all three corners, and didn't he do
what said n make a hit, n now yuh
lose. Yer bone, solid ivory, all tn way

Similar specimens of the wisdom of fan
dom were sprinkled throughout the con-
test, gems of advice from the mouths of
the real dyed-in-the-wool brigade, which
always knows more, in their own minds,
about the fine points of the great Amer
lean game than do the men who draw
the highest of salaries because of their
ability to win the victories Of the dia-
mond.

Thousands of Fans See Great
Game, Play by Play.
ELECTRIC BOARD IS USED
Flashing Bulbs Depict Momentous
Struggle at Polo Grounds.
EXTRA SOON ON THE STREET
Scarcely Had Contest Ended, When
Presses Began to Grind and News
boys Sold Story of the Game.

. Watching the worlds championship
game between the Athletics and the
Giants yesterday, with grand stand
standingroom to be had for the asking,
several thousand enthusiastic fans crowd
ed every available foot of 18th street
from Pennsylvania avenue northward,
half way TO E street, all eyes being fixed
all the time upon the Stars big electric
score board. Flashing electric bulbs on
the board depicted the plays as rapidly
as they were made IN the momentous
struggle at the Polo Grounds In New
York, and what the crowd missed in not
actually seeing the players in acton, 1t
more than made up in its appreciation
of the fidelity of the board in portraying
the rapid-fire moves in the greatest base
ball battle of the year.
Because Washington is an American
League city. naturally, a great major
ity of the fans were partisans or the
Athletics, and loud were the shouts or
pleasure in the second inning when
Harry Davis accomplished the unex-
pected by biting a bingle which sent
Baker home with the first run of the
game. The groans were equally voclf-
erous in the fourth inning when Snod-
grass stopped one of Bender's shoots
with his ribs, took second on sacri-
fee and came home with New Yorks
first run when Collins booted an Offer
ing from Herzogs bat.

Rooters Greatly Pleased.

But, taken all in ALL the 18th street
fans had the time of their lives. The
weather was all that could be asked by
an out-of- doors crowd, the electric bulbs
ranged round a diamond on the score
board made it look like real base ball
game, and even though the final result
did not please the great majority, the
rooters had their moneys worth. since
they saw the first game Of the. worlds
championship and they didn't have to
bargain with ticket scalpers either, be-
cause admission was ree-gratfs-for-
nothing"
Scarcely had the score board shown
that Harry Davis, last man up the ninth,
had gone out on a grounder, Fletcher to
Merkle, when the big machine In The
Star press room began to grind and the
newsboys were on the street with The
Stars base ball extra in time to catch the
whole army of fans on the Avenue. And
the printed story of the game, play by
play, was devoured just as eagerly as had
been the pictorial story of the contest
on the score board

opinion prevailed

Electricity supplied by the power sta

bolt Of lightning struck the house. This
was at 1000 and service was not resumed
until 2:3O this morning.
The storm with its terrific gale and vivid
flashes OF forked lightning. gave the entire
county scare. Over 100 persons were
marooned at Longport resort at the
lower end Of the island and were forced
to pay taxicab drivers big prices or camp
out on wharves until the cars started to
safely ashore by daring work and shippers
risked wrecking their craft to put their
passengers back on land without injury.
A third rail train which left Camden
at o'clock was stalled at Mays Landing.
Passengers remained aboard until after
2 O'clock. whom a steam engine was de-
spatched to rescue the train. Another
due here at l2:4O did not reach the resort
until O'Clock. Considerable damage
was done to shipping in the outskirts
OF the city, but the town proper escaped
serious harm.
The storm, which suddenly appeared
out of the west, circled clear around the
compass and ragged for half an hour. then
lessened to stiff breeze and finally dis

OF DIR. Doty which was conceded, but the
question was whether he had been derelict
