sealed orders to the world
series, allowing mo obstacle to over
come his two guests with ennm or
kindred ailments.
The two fortunate fans. whose
names will be revealed in the noon
edition Of next Saturdays Times
will. in a sense, represent the
Washington fandom after a very
consolidated manner.
As over eight thousand have tried
Tor those two. coveted trips, and as
the contest was open to any and
everybody, there being no restric-
lions Of any kind, 1t can truly be
aaid that the two who go are really
delegates of the big family Of local
baseball bugs.
But that is still over a month
ahead.
What Skillet" wants to impress
on the readers who are anxious TO
know whether or not they won-is
that they must get a. copy OF next
Saturdays noon edition to see
where they finished in the race.
II they are among the first
fifteen, they must hustle right
into "Skiiiet's" office on the roof
garden Of the Munsey building
and grab their free ticket to that
afternoons game between the
Yankees and Griffs.
The party will occupy the box
Immediately behind the home team s
dugout usually occupied by dis
tinguished guests at all functions OF
Importance at the ball park.
Immediately before the game
starts, everybody will move to the
home plate and be introduced to
Babe Ruth, who In turn will award
the sprizes.
Yes Clark Griffith will be there
too as will Nick Altrock and all or
the eelebNties of both the New
York and Washington ball teams.
