Several of the victorious Washing

day decided not to stage formal
celebration over the winning of the
world series at this time.
In making this announcement Com
missioner cuno II. Rudolph, chairman

rousing welcome for Bucky Harris
and his champions next Spring for
the opening of the season.
Following the close of yesterday
game several suggestions were made
to the Commis oners for a mammoth
celebration of some sort in which
every man, woman and child in the
city could take part in giving vent
to their joy.

FANS DRINK OF JOY;
MANY OTHERS Off,

Most of Washington's fans were
drunk with JOY last night and few
were drunk with something slightly
more substantial. These latter land
ed in cells at police stations while
the merriment went on without
them.
The stern face OF justice relaxed
perceptibly today when the celebrants
were brought before the bar. In
fact, Judge Mattingly launched into
"reminiscences of yesterdays game
before melting out justice, so far for
getting himself as to cry:
Long life to Walter Johnson,
Bucky Harris and all the boys on the
Washington team that won the great
base ball glory for the old home town,
May they repeat 1t next year"
Then that judicial sternness came
back as he shooed the dozen or so
prisoners out to freedom on their
personal bonds. Several drunks who
had annoyed women and acted other
wise disorderly were given small
fines, however.
