PARK FOOD SALES
SKATER RECORDS
Thousands of Hot Dogs,
Millions of Peanuts, and
Other Favorites Go.

CLARK GRIFFITH STADIUM
Hunger and thirst of Washington
greatest base ball crowds are smash
ing all records here for the sale of
hot dogs" coffee, pop, peanuts, in
fact, all refreshments.
Bill" Smith, who runs all the con-
cessions within the big park for the
Washington club, said just before the
game, There never has been so much
concession stuff sold here in base
ball history.
Think of It! 400 dozen hot dogs
eaten, 4,s00 in toto; 500 cases of soft
drinks, or at "a per case, a grand
total of $4,000 bottles OF pop guzzled
within the old park
Then there were 20 tubs of brick
ice cream at about 10 gallons per
tub. 1t took lot of cooling for that
base ball fever.
Millions of Peanuts Go.
Peanuts haven't yet been estimated.
but the shells must run into the
millions, they think.
Then outside the park, there was
that all-night crowd. that has a
hunger and thirst. j. F. Buckley had
the concession for feeding that
sleepy outfit. And he did it well.
Hundreds of cups of coffee were con-
sumed and scores of hot dogs eaten
through the long vigil. Totals have
not been struck as yet.
Peanuts, the old-time favorite of
base ball fans, were going like hot
cakes today. But the hot weather
also stimulated the consumption of
Ice cream and cold drinks
More than 200 Senders clad in
white coats kept up a vigorous bonn
bardment of the crowd, throwing
practically thing but bottles,
with great accuracy, far into the
crowd.
ZBleachers Hungry.
The early morning crowd let into
the $1.1O bleachers shortly after 8
o'clock provided a stirring business
for awhile even though they had fed
somewhat, outside the gate.
So dense were the walls of human
ity packed into the whole park yes

had difficulty in making their way
Supplies came to the concession

GRIFFS' PLAY, EVEN IN DEFEAT,
IMPRESSES NEW YORK EXPERTS
Opener One of Greatest Games On Record. Hard One
For Johnson to Lose, Giants Spirit
Is Feature, They Say.

One CT the greatest games in the
history Of world series base ball, an
unfortunate one for Johnson to lose
and evidence that the teams are
closely nnatched-these are the views
of the New York sporting writer's of
the first game yesterday.
Deep admiration OF the playing and
fighting qualities of the Nationals
temper the prediction of the New
York experts as to the outcome of the
series despite the edge held by the
Giants before today's game started.
There was no dissenting voice to
the conviction that Johnson was the
victim of his own over-zealousness.
His failure they attribute to the cause
of the failure of virtually all great
figures in the sport world-trying too
hard to make good for his tens of
thousands of admirers, trying so hard
that he failed to reach the standard
of perfection that he has set for all
pitchers. Great as he was in yester-
days game, he fell short of his real
greatness, they say.
And for the Giants-their own club
playing under the shadow OF the
recent scandal, their admiration IS
profound.

contrary, the three men who played
