LET'S CHEER BRAVES
So Says Berton Braley in Poetic
Lines Today.
Ru RERTAM RRA1EY
BY BERToN BRALEY

BOSTON, Oct. 1i.-It's over now, the
games are done, the Braves are victors in
the fray We'll see no more of hit or run
until spring comes again this way; so
let us cheer that Brave array whose
triumph is so nobly writ, the bunch that
never knew dismay. the team that simply
wouldn't quit!
You'll read statistics by the ton, you'll
read descriptions by the dray, of Just ex-
actly how they won and all the detail of
the play, but back of all the experts say
of how the Bostons ran or hit, this fact
stands out as plain as day-They are the
team that wouldn't quit
Since baseball annals have begun no
harder bunch has dared the fray no
blows Of adverse fate could stun the
courage Of such men as they, for when
the outlook's bleak and gray and hope
seems lost, their teeth they grit and turn
and fight and win the day-The team that
simply would not quit!
The lessons bigger than the game It
comes TO every mortal-straight-that II
your heart Is all afame with courage you
can conquer fate that he who fights
though thick and thin with all his
strength and skill and wit, is certain at
the last to win, just like the team that
wouldn't quit!
There's not much more poet can write
this final game was quiet beside the fever
and the fight of Mondays thrilling riot;
Dick Rudolph's pitching seemed to daze
the Mackian aggregation. they famed or
popped in various ways which caused no
celebration. Shawkey and Pennock faced
the Braves-not many hits they ceded 'em,
but Bostons hitters swung their slaves
and got hits when they needed 'em. And
when It comes to fielding stuff-well, they
were there, and that's enough.
Rudolph and Tyler and James, Evers,
whitted and Mann, Gowdy and Connolly,
Gather and Deal Schmidt and Maranville,
Moran these were the stars of the series,
these were the best in the fight; but that
is the list of the whole Boston team
brother, I reckon you're right
The games are done and ended no
lingering doubts can lurk. the curtain has
descended
Let's all go back TO work!

FANS AGAIN IN TICKET LINE;
TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK
sca1pers Again on the Job, Offering
to Discount the Pasteboards.

to Discount the Pasteboards.
! Philadelphia baseball fans once more
assembled at Gimbers today, standing
patiently in line which led to the ticket
window, but they were not the jubilant
throng that appeared there last week;
there was typical funeral gloom on
every ones face and there was notice.
able silence all along the line. There was
no laughter, no good-natured criticism of
the Braves"
There were scalpers there, too, buying
tickets, not selling them. The selling was
being done by those who stood In line
impatient to receive their share of the
$4,639 refunded for seats purchased In
anticipation of third game in this city.
Behind the ticket window sat Uncle"
John Shlbe. He did not look cheerful as
he doled out money to the impatient fans,
nor were they cheerful as they took It,
They were just plain "peeved' and there
was a good deal of i'll nature shown in
the jostling line. The scalpers we're the
only light-hearted people to be seen in
the neighborhood. They politely offered
TO relieve newcomers of the tiresome
standing in line by buying their tickets
of course at little discount, just per
cent.-but then. said they, think of the
trouble saved. The only thing lacking to
make the scene complete was a band to
play the funeral march.
Tickets are being redeemed in Gmbels
store until O'clock this afternoon, but
from tomorrow on they must be taken
to Shibe Park. There was no time limit
on the cashing of the tickets, for they
will be as good year from now as they
are today. Only last Thursday several
tickets unused last year were redeemed
while another fan who had such tickets
remarked that he did not want to redeem
them, but had them framed. for the series
had convinced him that baseball was "on
the square"
