Base ball in the National Capital no
longer is a national game. 1t is a
disease, a flaming epidemic. a wild,
raVing mania, and il something
doesn't happen soon to ease the strain
on the faithful fans half the popula-
be dead of heart failure.
No army fighting in foreign lands
ever had the support that the old
home town is giving to the Nationals
in their dazzling fight for the Ameri-
can League pennant out there in the
West, where men are men, where base
hits are q blessing and errors the
saddest words Of tongue or pen.
Entire Population Involved.
From the White House to the hum
blest alley dwelling, Washington
hangs daily upon the base ball scores.
1t is no longer a question of waiting
for the final results. The games by
half innings are flashed to the far
corners of the city. They are posted
in the office buildings; they are
chalked upon the windows of the cor
ner groceries; they are passed by
word of mouth along the street; the
trolley conductors and motormen
carry tidings, good or bad 1t is bad
enough for the fans to have to fol-
low their own team in such minute
Yanks in the self same manner.
1t is no exaggeration, no mere fig
ure of speech, to say that Washing
ton is base ball crazy; base ball
hungry, and it is an irony of fate
that the first time the Senators have
had a real chance for the old gon-
falon, the team had to go away from
home for all of its crucial series.
Craze Is Widespread.
But the craze is bad enough as it
Is. If the team were playing here,
business probably would be sus-
pended all day instead of merely dur
ing the base ball hours in the West
ern cities. Washington can't keep
its mind on the job while the scores
are coming in and makes no attempt
to. Wherever you see group of
substantial business or professional
men talking together, it is all about
base ball. In the Government de-
partments Uncle Sam is losing thou
sands of dollars a day through the
utter helplessness of his employees.
They've got the base ball palsy.
The psychology of the situation
here is interesting. The great bulk of
the population believes it would be
too good to be true for Washington
to win. They never have won, so it is
psychology of precedent, a complex
of pessimism.
Refuse to Express Doubt.
But the "defeatists" won't admit
their feelings even to themselves.
They are out at the scoreboards every
day roofing for all they are worth,
and each day the shade of the game is
the mood of the Nations Capital.
Thursday, when Cleveland was four
runs ahead up to the fourth inning
you could cut the gloom in Washing
ton with scythe. There was no need

Pyramid Of Cheops Is
Still in Good Condition

Save for one surviving pyramid, the
seven wonders of the ancient world
have passed on. Not only have they
disappeared, but their memory is most
ly confined to the pages of old books.
Strangely enough, the one surviving
wonder is the Oldest. It dates back
almost 1000 years before Christ, and
1t is still in good condition. 1t is the
pyramid Of Cheops at Ghizeh, in.

the pyramid was the care taken to
protect it from grave robbers. All the
entrances were sealed. There were
