seats were taken, not even standing
space available. But he did not fall

ward the left-field pavilion, and at
the far end of the less elite section
did he ensconce himself on the abrupt
end of wooden bench and behind a
sturdy girde..
Long Time to WHIT.
Seven years was long time to
wait. Nothing could stop him now.
When. in the second half of the
first inning. Bucky Harris. that young
rascal who has had the audacity to
plunge the National Capital into pen
nant-winning aspirations. doubled into
the far outfield and was scored
on Goslin's terrific triple. there arose
a mighty shout from 10000 throats,
and above all could be heard the
whose lungs had given way to seven
years of pent-up yell-inertia.
And leading, like Abou Ben Adhem,
all the rest. this frenzied fan con-
tinued to rock the ironwork above
him for frame after frame as he saw
his idol Walter Johnson, cody smok-
ing the old pill across the plate in
the supreme knowledge that his team
was. for the first time in nineteen
years, on top of the American League
pile and burning its way toward the
grouch's long-hoped-for pennant.

leaped onto the field, closely follow

younger as he rushed and crushed
his way toward the Washington dug

Seven years ago a Washington base
ball fan, whose confidence in his
home team as a pennant contender
ing long years of diamond fiascos,
made a vow to himself that he was
through with the game forever. En-
bittered by disappointment after dis
appointment. his struggling hope of
some time seeing Walter Johnson
pitch his team to victory before a
world series crowd gone, this tenn
peramental, and perhaps, unsports-
manlike fan swore that he never
again would enter the portals of
American League Park until the
Washington team was in first place.
Yesterday this same fan. somewhat
the worse for wear and showing the
effects of his seven-year itch to see
ball game, sneaked out of his office
at l o'clock and turned his steering
wheel out Georgia avenue way.
Caught in a tide of other motor cars
going the same direction, he was
swept around several times in
whirlpool of traffic as he reached a
vicinity suspiciously near Clark Grif-
fith's Stadium, and twenty minutes
later found himself and car cast up
on Slde lot IN front OF Freedmen'S
Hospital.
Was Chronic Crouch.
Seven years of abstinence from
base ball had made this man a
chronic crouch. Consequently, when
friends saw one of his tenders car
ri ried q. downstream rs in the rush for
outburst of profanity. Their shocked
ears heard instead, however, a
chuckle and a remark that it was an
old fender, anyhow.
borne along on foot in the jam of
fans which stormed the gates of the
park, the crouch joked with those
ahead of him as he was forced to
wait in line for a ticket. When his
coat caught on the turnstile and
ripped the pocket he smiled at the
ticket-taker.
His spirits rising as popular tune
was struck up by the Navy Band, he

of l to 0, with the Washington team
holding the goose egg? At least he
stayed until the last man was out in
the last half of the last inning, and
he was among the last to leave the
park after all was over.
Back to where his car was parked
he slowly wended his way. Could 1t
be that the teams defeat in the final
game had brought back his old cynic-
ism? Was his first show of enthusiasm
of the moment? Would he vow again
to refrain from the game for another
seven years?
A night of reflection, no doubt,
would tell.
This morning the crouch picked up
the morning paper from the front
doorstep and focused his eye on the
weather report
If only it doesn't rain today" he
