Fully nine feet high and expressing the
towns wish that Washington would
seize the pennant, the crowd was de-
lighted beyond measure to see the gift.
1t had been thought of in the Chamber
of Commerce and the present was from
Washington business men.
OF course, If you were there you saw
all the way from one to fifteen thousand
people, with each of whom you are per-
sonally acquainted Probably every one
of them experienced varying degrees of
heart failure during the game. Probably
every one of them had a different view
as to why the umpires took SO long to
decide about that play. when Dutch
Schaefer kicked on a blocked ball and
finally won a run by his kicking. The
grandstands were bowling with excite
ment at that time. 1t was a terrific
racket and the band couldn't be heard at
all, although it was playing lullaby of
some sort, trying to quiet the nerves of
the mob
The one predominant feature of that
squabble was the jaw work of Collins of
the Athletics No one but the umpire
and the players knows what he said, but
his jaws were performing a marvellous
feat They were going UP and down-all
the time. The Athletics trotted back and
forth between home and first. with the
umpires trying to get word In edge
wise, and Mr.. Collins was talking like a
ia pid-flre gun The crowd wanted that
run. They craved the run. They prayed
for the run.
And the crowd tore its clothes with ex-
element when Washington finally was
allowed the run.
Thrills at the Finish.
And then the finish. Two out and luck

Very often we are asked to write for
these columns something quite often

would like to satisfy every one, yet we
feel it our duty not to make more Bit
ter an already strained feeling. but to
promote and perfect condition of
universal brotherhood. We must bear
in mind that quality and cooper:
alton is the power, life and progress Of
a people. Ii we were not to consider
this priceless spirit, then we would
probably attempt to use these columns
largely for the purpose of airing our
own i'll feeling towards others. In
that case our letter would cease to be
news letter but instead medium of

to work for the general interest of all

must aim for honesty, fidelity and the
