Big Parade Features To. days Observance-AIlo of 3O,OOO Reserved Seats for Saturday and Sunday Games Are sold7,-Only 5000 for Bleacherites-- Good Weather Assured.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Sophisticat- ed old Washington cast of its dig nity today to welcome home in sand lot fashion its American league pen nant winning baseball club. for about the first time in history the city had a chance to stage its own parade. cheer its own heroes, and forget that 1t was the sedate capital of the nation.
 High officials of the government sighted their state duties to turn out for the general scramble for points of vantage along Pennsyl- vania avenue and shout and yell . greeting to the team that has given the city its first pennant in the an- nals of baseball. President Coolidge a week ago had carefully reserved an hour from the demands of his official duties to take a leading. part in the home coming celebration, every detail of which had received the official stamp of approval of committee appointed by the district commis- sioners.
 The reception committee arrang- ed to meet the players at the Amer ican league baseball park in auto mobiles and whisk them to peace monument, the starting point of the parade, in order to enable the team to take snappy workout before the celebration.
 Because pretty much the entire city seemed to want to march in- stead of look on, the committee lim- ited the participants in the process sion to a few representative bodies. A squadron of mounted police form ed the van of the colorful marchers. Other units included the United States cavalry band from Fort Myer, the Washington Riding and Hunt club attired in scarlet hunting coats: ten of the city's most beautiful young girls, dressed in white and mounted on white horses. and a train of automobiles carrying repre- sentative citizens.
 By starting the parade from the Peace monument at 4:S0 ?. m. the committee allotted thirty minutes for the march down the avenue to the ellipse back of the White House, at which point the program provided for a brief address to the players by the president. Anticipating in ad- vance the huge crowd that would gather to see the closing part of the welcome, the committee arranged for a band to be stationed on the Ellipse to afford entertainment while the thousands who chose the avenue as their grandstand shouted and cheered the procession to the White House.
 As A finishing touch to the pro- gram of welcome, the team will be guests at a banquet tonight.
 Announcement was made today that practically all of the So.ooo re- serve seats in the ball park had been sold for the first two games of the world series with the New York Giants to be played here Saturday and Sunday. This, 1t was said leaves only about 5000 bleacher seats to go on sale for each contest.
 A formal proclamation consratu" latfng the team was issued yester" day by the district commissioners while numerous civil bodies also passed congratulatory resolutions.
 The weather bureau today reiter' ated its promise of fair weather for tha yyeAk-end games.

Very Promising Scrap

Next Monday night at the Old
Opera House two boxers will mix 1t
both OF whom have been the center
OF interest in this city's class of
sport lovers for many months. but
who have never been brought to-
gether that the informal fight
championship OF Rawlins be de-
cided. These men are Nobe Ayala
and Wilbur Brown.
Nobe. through a series OF scraps
in which he has commanded the
principal event. still remains IN
defeated and many "Gopsters" are
mentally placing the laurels around
his brow. But other students OF
the fstic art believe that the speed
and cleverness of his opponent in
this decisive fight. Wilbur Brown.
will more than offset the superior
weight of Ayala. and win for the
%youngster the coveted title. In
bringing these two together the
Rawlins Band has done what other
organizations have lot as yet cared
to do-directly oppose two rising
stars each Of whom Is the hero Of a
group OF boosters and admirers.
Tickets are now being sold by
band members and by others inter
ested In seeing this affair turn out

ENGSTROM STARS
FOR RAWLINS HI

In the basket ball game played
at the High School Gymnasium last
Friday evening between the RAwlins
High and the Green River High the
local boys showed their superiority
over the visitors to the extent OF q
final score OF ~ to 3.
John Engstrom. the range center
of the Rawlins High scored 9 field
goals and three free throws. giving
him a total score OF 2l-more than
half OF all points scored by Rawlins.
Lee Vivion as guard did some classy
work also and many times during
the game he broke up opponents
plays. The other members of the
Rawlins team all played excellent
basketball and in the last half es-
pecially the team work was remark
able.
In the first half the Rawlins boys
did some excellent Individual play
ing but the team work was not as
good as It should have been. The
score at the end OF the first half was
l6 TO Z in favor of the home boys.
At the beginning OF the second half
the Rawlins boys started with n rush
and the five members OF the team
played as one man. Point after point
was scored as the result of COM
pleted plays from one end of the
field to the other with never a
bobble.
One OF the most encouraging fea-
lures OF the game last Friday from
the standpoint of the Rawlns fans
was the balance of the Rawlns team.
In size. speed and ability the mem
bers OF the Rawlins team are about
on a par.
The visitors played consistent ball
and fought hard but tho team was
not nearly as well balanced as the
Rnwlins team. The play of the
visitors was decidedly defensive,
their offensive being absolutely un-
able to penetrate the Rawlins de-
Tense. More than half the Green
River tries for goal were made from
the middle OF the foor and Il was
very seldom hat they worked the
ball through Rawiins for a "set-up."
Green River was fouled four
times while Rawlins offended but
twice.
Line up-Rawlins: John Eng
s'rom, center: Carl Engstrom. II:
Ed Quinn. RI: Lee Viyion. lg: Bates
re; Walter Olson subbed for Quinn
first OF last half. getting in for-two
neat goals. and was later replaced
by Conley who shot one field goal
and one free throw. These men
were thus made eligible for their
letters. Bergen subbed for Bates
last half OF last half. also getting
his "R."
Tho Rawlins team has the heavy
part OF its schedule yet to play and
in order 10 win the boys will need
the support of every ono OF US.
