SAM CRANE DISCOVERS
WASHINCTON'S RANDOM

Sam Crane. the New York Journals
veteran baseball authority, was in the
Capital with the Yankees over July 4.
When the series had ended with that
awful slaughter by the lanks, IL
to 0, Sam sat himself down and wrote
the following piece for his paper:
Washington's baseball populace
have the idea firmly impressed on
their minds that the Yankees are the
only team that the Senators will have
to beat out to win the pennant. Con-
sequently they rode" the New York
players constantly throughout the
four-games. The victories of the
home team in the first three games
resulted in such cockiness and gloat-
ing that the fans became extremely
grouchy over the 1I-to-0 defeat ad-
ministered to their pets yesterday.
They took especial delight in Babe
Ruth's failures to hit the ball out OF
the lot. When Babe famed he was
given the razzberry.
Yes, the heretofore modest and re-
firing Washingtonians have become
the most rabid partisan fans II is Il
good thing for the game there at
that. They have at last awakened
TO the fact that Washington is some
pumpkins on the baseball map.
The way they turned out to the
Yankee series just finished is evidence
OF that and | sympathized with them
wee bit at seeing the Sanks rub II
in to their pets so hard.

HE MEETS .'TIM". JORDAN
1t was while pitting his American
leaguers against an army team at
Camp Meade that Clark Griffith met
Tim Jordan, then lieutenant in a
machine gun company made up OF
District boys. They started a friend
ship that promises to be lasting.
Jordan went overseas. fought in
many of the larger as well as the
minor engagements. and returned a
captain. He never forgot Clark Grif-
nth, sending him direct from the
front lines German helmet, which
now hangs in the office of the ball
club on Georgia avenue.
What more natural than that Clark
Griffith, finding himself in control Of
the Washington club, should obtain
Tim" Jordan as an assistant in put
ting it over. So he did. And Tim"
is working his head, arms and legs
off to make his job a success.
Tim" having been overseas him
self, experiencing everything save
wounds. naturally has tender heart
regarding the boys at Walter Reed.
He has ever been ready to please and
power Tim" is certain to cherish
the medal he receives today.
GET THEM AT PLATE.
Following the first game OF today's
double header with the Gle 1eland In
lans, a delegation from Walter Reed
will call President Clark Griffith and
Capt. L. w. Jordan to the plate, where
they will be presented with their med
ais with becoming addresses.
During the ceremonies folks may
think of president Griffith" and
Cant. T.. W. Jordan" but the boys
out at Walter Reed know that they're
simply Griff and Tim Jordan, with
out a touch or suggestion OF diSre-
spect, either.
Owing to the medal presentations,
the Washington club has decided to
make it a sort of holiday at the park
today and a band will be on the job,
though it may get cold dogs before
the second game ends.
Six games are to be played here in
four days. A double-header is book
