THOUSANDS THRILL
OVER SCOREBOARD
Not All Wild Rooters Were
inside Griff Stadium, Nor
Will Be Today.

Excitement-nerYe wearing yruel-
ling, heart rending excitement over
yesterdays game was not confined to
the plutocrats who motored to the
Griffith Stadium yesterday in silk
lined limousines, or TO the plain nuts
who stood in line for hours 10 get
the precious tickets admitting them
to the sacred enclosure. No. not by
a long shot. as some four or five
thousand loud-voiced rooters who
witnessed the proceedings yesterday
from The Stars scoreboard will tell
the world.
There was plenty Of excitement
down town yesterday at Eleventh and
the Avenue while the Griffs and
Giants were fighting ii out in the
stadium at Georgia Avenue and Sev-
enth street. The crowd, which com
pletely filled Eleventh street from
the Avenue more than half way to l.
street, got every thrill enjoyed by an
eyewitness of the game. Accom-.

There WIS tragedy in that crowd g.,
The silenc9 of the grave greeted the
home runs by the Giant players. Tha
moaning of lost soul could register
no more anguish than the walls of
that stricken crowd when the great
Walter faltered in that last fatefuI
inning. The crowd was not confined
to men. Some of them brought their
wives. And on more than one occa-
sion those wives, or sisters or what
ever they were. could stand il no
longer and deliberately turned their
backs on the board. They couldn't
bear the strain of waiting to see what
would happen with three Giants or,
bases, no outs and tSe shades of night
afalling fast.
The best part of the whole thing
is that on last reports the score-
board was reported 10 be in perfect
working order and thFt today's game
will be registered play by play for
those unable TO visit the stadium.

Element of Drama
HJOhnsOn's Losing
I$-Year Struggle
BY HERBERT COREY.

This first game OF the world series
was great base ball-the sort of ba 60
ball that will keep the fans up too late
at night all Winter long-but it was
better drama. II had every element in
Guiding almost nnbearable suspense for
when Walter JohnsOn-not Bucky Har-
rIS' team. but Walter Johnson-lost BY
ii score of 4 TO in the twelfth inning.
yes. even the non partisan onlookers
LETT the park depressed and silent
Perhaps the better team won But
a great and well loved man lost.
From the outset it seemed to me
the Bucks were too light for their
opponents. They played an almost
eTroriesS game, but one sensed a diff
ference in spirit. The Giants seemed
10 coil tighter, rattle louder, spring
farther, sting deeper Bucky's men

and John McGraW shovelS hot Goals
through the bars at meal times One
felt shade OF difference somehow
II the two teams were marooned on
u desert island the last man alive
probably would be a Giant. And not
very hungry.
1t seemed to me there was hardly
an inning when these spring -heeled
fanC-toothed. briStle-necked invaders
were not on the imminent verge of
murder, but always Walter Johnson's s
courage and trained intelligence and
dSinS but dependable sinews saved
his game. Picture the situation. He
is perhaps the finest man in base ball
today. Perhaps not the greatest-I
do not knoW-but for IS years he has
played clean and lived clean. He has
been an inspiration to his generation
But--i8 years,
Washington adores him. This town
has been the Cinderella of base ball
This is its first world series-its first
trial of the glass slipper-and that
he would win yesterday was an arti-
Gle of the city,s faith. His lovers
gave him great car just before the
game. The President Of the United
states has praised him. No one believed
that he could lose the first world Sc
ries game he has pitched in IS years
of base ball. Butts" years,
1t seemed to me there were mo-
mentS when the residence of youth
was lacking. He pitched an intelli-
gent, an accurate game. but some
thing of fire and daring was absent
His fast ball now and then lacked
smoke, just when speed was most
needed. His curves sometimes fall
tered. Yet lie always was able to caH
out some last reserve of courage.
Three times it happened that he
might have won his own game at bat.
once, with two men on bases, he had
it won, and then Frisch rose in the
air as though catapulted and pulled
down what should have been a liner.
The plot of the game is told else
where. To me the story is in Walter
Johnson and his failure-after is
years. 1t is no wonder that those
who filled the bowl did not cheer the
feats of the enemy, as is the indiffer-
cnt custom of New York when the
Giants nose is rubbed in the dust
The worlds trophy would mean much
TO Washington, but game won by
Walter Johnson would mean more.
tThe fans were loyal because they
knew he was giving all that was in
/ him of strength and courage and the
strategy he had learned in IS years.

in the crowd about the car

relative of Johnson.
Walters wife, sitting in the
righthand front seat of the new
car, echoed the words spoken by
her mother-in-law. Before the
game started she had told a Star
reporter to tell the Washington
public that whether her husband
won or lost, they could rest as
sured that he had put everything
he had into the game in fulfill
ment of the supreme ambition of
his life. And his mother at the

one of the teams had to win. and
she hoped that Walters wouldn't
be the one to lose.

The two women were just as

They waited smilingly and pa
