BASE BALL |NVADES
CIVIC CLUB SESSION
Federation of Citizens AS
sociations Pauses in Work
to Commend Griffmen.

The grip in which King Base Ball
held Washington las might extended
even into the board room of the Dis
trict Building, where the Federation
of Citizens Associations had gathered
for the first time this Fall to discuss
civic problems.
The delegates discussed one-man
street cars, the need for larger APP
preparations for shade trees along
the streets and other municipal mat
ters but finally the subject turned 10
the inevitable-base ball
1t came up when Delegate j. w.
Murphy of Kalorama Citizens Asso-
citation proposed that the federation
congratulate Clark Griffith and STAN
ley Harris upon their achievement IN
bringing Washington it's first Ameri-
can League pennant. The resolution,
which was adopted. carried an ex-
preston of hope that the team would
win the world series despite the tenn
porary setback yesterday. -.
Urges Fight Continuance.
Under the heading of utility af
fairs William Nick Clayton reminded
the delegates that another public
utility hearing is to be held by the
Public Utilities Commission to con-
slider the one-man car question on
the morning of October Is, and he
outlined some of the reasons why the
federation should continue to oppose
the use of such cars.
Mr.. Clayton declared that the
term ne-horSe-town" was applied
in the old days to a small city that
had only one-horse cars. The effort
here is. he said. to make Washing
ton d one-man car town.
T.. b. Henderson. chairman of the
~ n M tnn Sra
ton, commended the police depart
ment for it's record of arrests during
the last fiscal year.
To Renew Suffrage Fight,
Charles A. Baker. president of the
federation. told the delegates that
the citizens joint committee on Dis
trict suffrage is preparing to renew
It's efforts this winter in support Of
the joint resolution to amend the
Constitution so as to empower Con-
greSS to grant the District representa-
ton in the Senate, the House and the
electoral college. MIR. Baker said the
citizens associations should prepare
to take part in the undertaking.
Jesse {. Suter. chairman of the
federation committee on fiscal rela
tions. said his committee was making
progress in the preparation of re-

Leland T. Atherton submitted his

tion OF officers in November. Jesse

PRIZE VETERANS GIFT.

One gift which the Washington club
prizes most highly of all that it re-
ceived before the initial battle with
the Giants is a silver urn, presented
by Maj. r. E. Scott, U. S. A, on be-
half of the personnel of the Walter
Reed Hospital. The fund with which
the cup was purchased was made up
of contributions from the wounded
veterans at the hospital as well as
officers detailed on duty there. The
silver urn is an exact copy of the
famous Paul Revere urn now in the
Boston museum.

Yesterday noon, after a morning
marked by several business con-
ferences, the President dedicated
the memorial to the 1st Division
of the American Expeditionary
Forces. At the conclusion of the
exercises Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge
reviewed the veterans.
1t was l o'clock before the cere-
monies were over and the base
ball game was scheduled to start
at 2 o'clock. Hurrying back to
the White House, the President
changed his formal clothes, ate
lunch and with Mrs. Coolidge
started for the base ball park,
arriving in time to take part in
the opening ceremonies and per-
init the game to start on time for
the impatient crowd.

President then tossed out the bali.
Bucky Harris ran out onto the
heid, followed by his teammates, and
the crowd did what most people
thought it simply could not do. 1t
hoWled. screamed and yelled louder
than ever, But still it had not
reached the height of it's noise-mak-
ing power. That came a second later
when Walter johnson strolled out to
his familiar old place in the pitchers
box.
Moment EpOchal.
That was an epochal moment for
Washington, and Washington fandom
made the most of it. For more than
two terrible decades Washington had
waited and longed for a pennant. and
next to that its best wish was to see
the Old Master hurl the opening game.
IL was a day of dreams come true; a
supreme hour when either tears or
cheers would have seemed equally ap-
propriate.
Slowly that big fellow swung that
famous right arm over his head twice
ana the second time there flew from
his hand the first ball of the 1924
world series. Straight at the plate it
whistled but broke slightly off. and
Umpire Connolly called it a ball. But
the next minute Walter shot in a fast

batter to face him, couldn't see at all

Crowd Gets Balls.
AS matter of fact, Goose Goslin
had the ball in his hands each time
early enough to have stopped the run
ners at second, but under the rules
the "allops went for circuits and the
Goose quite gallantly tossed the bal
back to the fans, who were yelling
themselves into another frenzy for
possession of il. Each time there was
momcntary free-for-all before the
httest survived and stuffed the sphere
away in his pocket
1t seemed that the fans cup of jov

McNeely scored it in the sixth. after
a clean double. Then the ninth in

favor of the Giants. But there was
no hopeless move toward the exits
on the part of the loyal fans. They
seemed to feel that game was not
gone by a long shot. and they were
not to be disappointed.

had gone through their PAGES and

convinced the pulsating fans they
were in for some merry entertain
ment
Just about the time the Mats were
completing their turn at practice, the
United States Army Band, accompa-
MED by company of Marines and a
company of doughboys, marched into
the stadium and circled the field,
coming to a halt around the home
plate. AS though by prearranged
signal. with a crashing honking of
klaxons. two automobiles swept
through the gates and followed in
the wake of the soldiers.

AS they were brought to a graceful
stop just in front of the band. Walter
Johnson and Roger Peckinpaugh
were called out. To the Old Master

gift of the grateful citizens of Wash
ington. Roger, apparently most sur
prised. was presented a Peerless tour
ing car by his fellow townsmen out
in Cleveland. and the Governor OF
Ohio came all the way from Column
bus to make the presentation in real
style.
Just at that moment the band
sounded off with Hail to the CHER
and President Coolidge entered his
box, accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge.
For about the thousandth time the
throng howled in delight and arose
to its feet. While every one stood
at attention the band played the
national anthem while the flag was

one was presented to Walter John

Up to the sixth inning these two
cars were all the Washington team
had to show for the game. Then
they got run, getting another in
the ninth. tying the score and max
ing an overtime contest of a base
ball game that gave Washington
more excitement than any event since
the news of Lees surrender to Grant.
From a dishonesty standpoint the
game was a distinct disappointment.
There had been so much emphasis
put on dishonesty in base ball the
past few days that there were cash
customers here who felt positively
cheated. Not a single bid was made
for a shortstop during the entire II
innings.
Nobody offered anybody else a sin
gle thing on the playing field. and
much the same caution had spread
to the grandstand and bleachers. One
fan offered another cigarette lust
before the game opening, the latter
shouting, i am an honest man. sir"
and demanding immediate impeach-
ment proce edings
Still there was one outstanding in
stance of gross dishonesty. Walter
Johnson was the victim and Fate was
the guilty party. If Fate managed
things strictly on the level she would
have fixed it so Johnson would have
won. johnson has been Is years on
the Washington team, and he holds
the world record for patience in wait
ing for his chance in a world series.
Simple justice demanded that he get
the breaks in the first game. But
Fate was reached" by an intangible
Cozy Dolan.
At the next session of Congress a
bill will be introduced and passed
putting the left field bleachers in the
Washington base ball park back a
few hundred feet. And it will be one
bill President Coolidge can be de-
pended upon not to veto.
In fact, there were walls from the
throats of Washington fans because
the home team didn't even seem sure
just where the right field bleachers
were located. Twice in the hectic
tenth, with two men on bases, two
Nationals, Goslin and then Judge,
drove what looked to be screaming
three-baggers and possible homers
along the right field line, only to have
them twist foul by inches.
