and Cathedral Services

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Wood-
from the worlds stage where he
once lowered as a commanding
figure.
In the strict priysey of his home,
rites were said, siriple, as in keep
ing with the mans life. Only a
few of the dead mans colleagues
in the days of his greatness were
at these rites.
Outside, under wintry skies, thou
cands were quietly waiting for the
humble leave taking of the man
from his home to the last resting
place.
The services ct the Cathedral
were in marked Rsontrast to the
rites in the home, and marked the
funeral as that of q great person.
At the chapel giving entrance
OF the vault Of entombment, were
gathered dignitaries OF many gov
ernments and msny men of place
and power in America.
The spealing afzfhe crgan as the
voices of the choir were heard add
cd that touch to the ceremony
which was brief religious exer-
else and at the very last the dead
passed again into the keeping of
his nearest and dearest, who alone
might watc1 over the entom bment,
resigned in faith, while the final
committal services were uttered.
Senator Lodge, a member of the
Senate Committee attending the
funeral, remained in his apartment
because of a bad throat"
Justice Taft, one of the honorary
pallbearors was absent on account
of acute indigestion.
Although technically the law for
bade the suspension of work the
Cabinet decided that each Secretary
inform those under him, no service
yculh be reqsfrcd after 1890
o'clock today.

Washington Fans Feel Their

The Nations Capital acted over
the third game OF the worlds series
very much in the manner Tanktown

The city yesterday and today
turned out practically en- naasse for

the offices of the few Senator'S and

BY NICK ALTROCK.

NEW YORK, Oct. THE last
world series game ended Just in
TING to make it unnecessary for me
to go in and pitch for washington.
The boys used every baseball player
in the big leagues, so 1t seemed.
/ thought they were going to
ring in some extra talent from the
minors.
or course, If Harris had asked
me to hurl for our side, would
have done 1t. But you can't hardly
blame me for not going over
Bucky's head. Something was q
little crazy about that game and
! am trying to find out what it
was.
For one thing, when Peckinpaugh
got a sore leg and had to leave the
contest, that didn't cheer US UP
very much.
AS has been my custom each
year, ] have predicted that the
team that gets the breaks will win.
And there were more breaks TODAY
than ever saw.
Rice, Frisch and Pep Young made
some. They were all acrobats and
when Frisch robbed Goose Goslin
of hits three times, / was beginning
to get pretty sore at McGraw for
developing that kind Of athletes.
iris Speaker plays centerfield on
the score card but he actually plays
second base. Frisch is just the OBJ
posite. frankie is supposed to play
second but the way he dragged
balls sout Of the sky and off his
shoulder showed that what Frisch
really covers is the outfield. They
have some players in the infield
also. 1t looks like 1t will be either
Altrock or Walter Johnson in the
box for our club today. II AL.
trock goes in, and the fans every
where are demanding this kind Of
treat, the old series viii be evened
up. And as told McGraw when
he was kidding me by saying that
the Giants are a cinch, why,
said: I'VE certainly are going to get
even" And he replied: That's odd. /"

NEW YORK, Oct, THE crowd
which attended this. the first game
Of the New York end Of the world

for the Polo Grounds. Officially
the paid attendance was 47,6OS, but
several thousand more did not con.

The previous record attendance
was 46,302, established at the fourth
game Of the world series last year,

Secret practice opened the final
preparation for the opening game
of the season for the Georgetown
football team against the King
College Saturday. No one was
allowed even the slightest kind of
peek at the practice, even the
students at the school being barred.
Several new plays were given
tn the varsity squad. Assistant
Coach Mike Palm, who secuted the
Southerners last week, reports that
they have one of the best teams
la that part Of the country. Their
backfield is a smooth combination,
while the forward line is big and
rangy and, as impregnable as a
stone wall.
Who will get the call for the
quarterback position Is still burn.

problem has been temporarily
solved by the sudden blossoming

The scorers have the heebie lee.
bies. Under the rules governing
scoring, Fred Marberry was credited
with Sundays. victory in Washing
ton. Last night 1t was announced
that Zachary was given credit for
the win.
Frankie Frisch failed trying to
squeeze Gowdy home in the eighth
inning Of yesterdays game. Under
the rules he was credited with a
fielder's choice and it was 50 re-
ported In all the afternoon papers.
Last night the scorers corrected
themselves and decided that Frisch
should have a single in the records.
Veteran baseball writers attend
ing the series believe that the Of
ficial scorers should learn con-
aistency and also read the rules
before making their announce
ments at the games.
The Giants take all their orders
from Manager McGraw, who sits on
the bench. 1t was funny at times
yesterday when Gowdy turned
around to get the managers signal
before signaling for the pitchers
next delivery. Old Hank Il PLAYING
great ball and deserves all the nice
things said OF him. He must grin
some at times, though, when read
ing about what a brainy catcher
he Is.
Joe Judge grabbed himself three
hits in the third game of the
series. He got both hits off Nc
Quillan, single In the second and
a two-bagger in the fourth. He
finished his days work with a
single off Ryan in the ninth. Ii
Judge had received some aid from
his mates, the result might have
been much different.

In the seventh Goslin came up
with two on and two out and hit q
sizzling grounder beyond Terry's
reach. II seemed certain to be 4
hit to right but along came the
leaping, darting Frisch. He made
a beautiful two handed stop and
threw out the Washington slugger.
That was tough. To have yourself
robbed OF three hits n q single
game Ia tough at any time. It is
worse In world series.
Sam Rice came through with a
startling running catch In the
fourth inning. It was much like
his great performance against the
Jungle Cats in Detroit when he
went headfirst into q flock OF
circus seats but chung to q long
foul fly from Heinie Manush.
Linstrom poIed what seemed a
certain single and a possible double
OF the right field wall. Rice went
across the grass like a greyhound
and collided with the wall as he
caught the ball. He was not even
shaken UP in the collision so
wrought up was he by the strain
Of the fight for the victory.
When Roger PecIkinpaugh
pulled up lame in the second
inning there was universal sOr-
row on al sides. However, Mike
Martin believes Peck will be back
in the lineup today. A charley.
horse that has bothered him at
times all year forced him to the
bench. Trainer Martin cared for
him oveR night and Peck said
today he would be back in the
line up.
