Aside from the pop bottle barrage Of
Chicago, the hardest barrier put In the
path OF the raiding Giants was set by
the Chamber Of Commerce Of this place.
1t is the first time that the deadly reso-
luton was resorted to by civilized COM
munities In modern warfare of baseball.
While the pop bottles OF Chicago
glanced harmlessly from the armored
heads OF "Casey" Stengel and Irish

might falted when the Chamber OF Com
merce Of this city started to fire resolu-
tions into the thin blue lines of the
Giants. But the athletes, stuffing cotton
into their ears, advanced Into the reso-
lution-strewn diamond under the very
shadow Of the local Y. Nd. c. A. without
losing man.
They made the series just one game

gum Of their owner, and Mr.. Wrigley

"The National League champs chewed

But as the Giants picked the cut glass
Of the pop bottle from their anatomy
and set their faces further west the Cubs
were clicking their teeth on nothing.
They had swallowed the chewing gum or
their pride.
In Cincinnati the good burgomeister
August Hermann was drawing up the
menu for world series feast when the
Giants arrived, and Joseph Won Heintz-
man, the baron OF Fountain Square, was
drilling his free settlers OF Cincinnati to
sit through world series. When the
Giants left after taking both games the
burgomeister was mourning over the tat

Square was saying sadly: THE free
settlers will never sit again." One by one
the crucial series became less crucial.
and one can hear the Tapping Of another
pennant in the winds that blow near
Coogan's Bluff.
Instead of the conventional unor-
gsnized squawk and screech of the nor
NAL fan the people of st. Louis to-day
organized their cheering under tho direc-
tion of trained squawkers and scrcechers.
Large sectors of the stands in Sports
mans Park were occupied by the ranks
OF the Pennant Rooters League, all
pledged to root in unison for the Cards.
IL their lungs hold out they will per-
form the same service for the st. Louis
Browns.
Fans Of the so-called gentler sex have
been summoned to the colors and the
popuIace was presided over by the
Mayor, Henry w. Keil, who. by virtue
OF his office, added his voice to the
roofing. The sincere blending of the
squawk and screech spoke we'll for the
civic pride of ST. Louis. Never have the
ears of your correspondent been smitten
by healthier vocal expression of civic
spirit. but somehow. 1t sounded like
the last squawk as far the Cards were
concerned. The real squawk will ring
down the Mississippi River when the
Browns return and 1t may be the last
squawk of a stricken city.
The score:
