Congratulations OF the Washington
Chamber of Commerce were today
dispa tched to Clark Griffith and the
officers and members of the Wash

Isaac Cans, president The letter
follows:
The Wa shington Chamber OF Com
rnerce has had several opportunities
Ito encourage and congratulate your
team during the campaign just
closed.
Its congratulations were given
for the fight the team was making
and for winning the pennant in the
American League.
But there still remains the op-
portunity-greater than all others
to congratulate them as winners OF
the world championship. Washing
ton has never had this opportunity
before. For that reason, perhaps, it
brings with il greater pleasure and
satisfaction.
Washington is sitting on the top
of the athletic world this morning,
thanks to the gamest, piuckiest and
most gentlemanly bunch of ball play
ers ever assembled.
1T would be useless to single out
any one for special praise. II Is
best only 10 repeat the motto We
have used on other occasions during
this strenuous campaign, One for all
and all for one
The city is yours, boys. Its key
was presented to you some days ago.
You can go and come as you please.
And wherever you go you Will merit
and receive the plaudits of our people
as worthy representatives of our
great Capital City"

pionShip was not won until the
twelfth inning of the last game. This

matched. ! have only the heartiest OF
praise 10 bestow upon the individual
players Of both teams.
NATURALLY, in Washington, we were
pleased to see Walter Johnson finish
he game pitching for our home team
and make hit in the last inning tha t
helped win the series. II has to be
kept in mind that though he was not
successful in the two games which
he pitched. that it was his skill tha t
had won the pennant and put Wash
inRton into the world series. Every
one was pleased to sec him come back
at the close of the last game.
The three contests which I wit
messed maintained throughout high
degree of skill and every evidence -
a high-class sportsmanship that will
bring to every observer AN increased
respect for and confidence in our ma
tional game. ii would be difficult to
conceive finer example OF true
