marched out to the pole and the band
played national airs. Then came Old
Glory rising TO the masthead. while moro

President was handed ball and with a
splendid windup he made a perfect
throw to Mogridge. who stepped out to
the plate and faced Miller. the first
Yankee.
The gathering Of more than 10000
was representative-nat and inter-
national too. All the Government de-
partments shut down for the afternoon.
All the foreign embassies sent represent
tatives TO the event which this year was
bigger than ever before on account OF
the feeling here that Washington at last
has a team which stands an excellent
chance to win the pcnnant II was a
coorfu. picturesque crowd in which
there were at least 10000 girls and
women in the bright raiment OF the cur
rent fashion.
New York's first turn at bat was
fruitless, but in their half the Senators
! got run. Judge. who was to get two
doubles later. started things going with
single. A passed ball sent him to
second. A two bagger by the pesly Rice
soon scored MIN.
The second was New Yorl's inning OF
great glory--a session which drew for
them a rosy picture OF victory, which.

The Washngtons scored two in the
third on double by Harris. Gharritys

double, which Fewster also should have
converted into an out. Chick mis-
judged the Judge hit and then overran
the ball. Doubles by Harris and Judge
gave Washington another in the fourth
and left IL only one run shy. Harris
should have been out but Fewster never
saw the fly until ii was too late.
Ruth did some or his best teeth grind
