tie. There was no jubilation, but the
players seemed to feel exactly as
"Bucky" Harris said, that tomorrow
was another day" and that they
would prove to their loyal friends
that they were better base ball
club than the Giants.
In the Giant clubhouse the spirit of
the winning team, mostly young men,
bubbled into expression; McGraw was
cool and undisturbed, taking the vic
tory as though he considered it a
matter of course.
But when they went outside to
await their taxicabs the National
League champions dropped back into
the same shell of reserve which has
protected them from public question
ing since the story of attempted
bribery of Heine Sand placed three
of the stars under a suspicion which
the absolution of Judge Lands has
not wholly washed away.
The Giants are moral unit and take
without reply the silent treatment"
which they received from the specta
tors, whose open -mindedness on the
subject of the bribery was apparently
reflected by refraining from express
sion of any sort. The Giants1 were
not "booed," but neither were they
cheered.

idols have covered themselves with
glory in the midst of defeat.
Thirty-six thousand throbSing fans.
roaring in moment of hysterical
frenzy. saw those fighting Nationals
come from behind in a staggering
ninth-inning rally to carry the first
game of the world series into three
extra innings. and when the smoke
of battle had lifted there seemed
but one thought in the minds of
the throng:
Wen lick 'em tomorrow"
Washington was sorry last night
that Walter Johnson had lost his
first chance in a world series. But
seated conviction everywhere, on
street corners, in hotel lobbies and
around dinner tables, that Washing
ton can and will send the Giants
down to defeat and bring the world
championship home to this topsy
turvy old National Capital.
Never before in base ball history
has a team gone into world series
supported by more loyal crowd
after Goose Goslin had been tagged
at first for the final out in that fatal
twelfth inning. and perspiring Hank
Gowdy, elongated Giant catcher, had
hurled his mask and glove into the
air in a private little celebration of
his own. those leatherlunged thou
sands stood in their seats and howled
encoura cement to their game heroes.
Three Hours of Agony.
1t was a scene the like of which
has seldom. if ever, been equaled in
base ball park. For more than
three anguishing hours, hours just
crammed full of moments that liter
ally wrung ones. stomach inside out
with nervous excitement, the thou
sands-men and women, boys and
girls-literally clung to the edges of
their seats while the gruelling contest
ragged on the diamond in front of
them.
1t was perhaps the most distin-
guished crowd that ever attended a
world series. But that $4,000, from
President Coolidge down, left reserves
back home in official places, and no
plebian in the bleechers ever howled
longer or louder than did the men
and women of national prominence
who were scattered by the hundreds
through the grandstands that were
packed solid from field boxes to rear
railings.

he reached the park when he was

a restful hour or two Of relaxation,
the President lighted a cigar and
