Guess that will hold those AS
for good and all. They Thoughts
pretty well of themselves when
they came to town. They thought
they were going to ride right
over Bucky Harris and his boys.
That's good. After they ran into
Walter Johnson, Stanley Covel-
eskie, Earl McNeely, Roger Peck
inpaugh, Sam Rice and Bucky
Harris, just to mention some of
the most prominent stars of those
two great battles, they all had
headaches. All the flappers stand
ing on the ramp to see the AS
leave for home knew at once
there was no joy among the visi-
tors. The prettiest girl couldn't
coax smile from any of Them
All our world champions have to
do now Is to sail right. along into
their second championship and then
take on those Pittsburgh Pirates.
Ugh! Pirates" has an ugly sound.
Suggests daggers and blood n
everything. But Bucky Harris and
his boys knocked out a lot of
Giants last season and ought to be
able to beat mere Pirates this year.
And a goodly crowd was there
10000 or more
Wonder who the blonde mama
Is that accompanies Jimmy Con-
molly, better known as "Nurmi's
shadow" to all the games. She
is sure some locker, believe me.
Young Dencio, the Filipino fly.
weight, viewed yesterdays game
from a seat behind the press box.
Red Holt, the Jersey City first.
sacker, wired Connie Mack that he
would not get to see the second
clash of the world series semi.finals.
Too bad. to, cause sle sure missed
a thriller.
The AS sure looked good during
batting practice. They socked the
apple right and left.
{. Melvin Sharpe, the ''big shot"
OF the Washington Railway Electric
Company is real sure enough fan.
You can always find him in his
usual box with his gang enjoying
both the game and his stogie.
RED" Or1nsby has the second
reddest neck in the league. Bill
Dineen has the reddest, extending
around to the front Of his face.
OrmSby gave several exhibitions
OF his neck during the game.
Coveleskie got a big hand on his
Texas league single to right in the
third inning. Hits are scarce for
Covey and he appreciated the APP
plause.
The Goose got a cheap double in
the fourth whens Bishop and Miller
The AS should get their signals
better.
French, who hit for Rommel in
the sixth, is the West Point foot
ball and baseball star. He is noted
for his speed, but Muddy Ruel
gave him no achance to show X,
throwing him out with ease.
Speaking Of French, "Frenchy,"
once known as Washington most
rabid rooter, saw the game. He
came all the way from Wilkes
Barre, Pa.
The seventh inning saw the AS
fourth pitcher come up to the box.
Goodness, hoy many pitchers has
Connie Mack anyway? Not enough.
Joe Harris is sure there. He
makes an admiral substitute for
Joe Judge as much as the latter is
missed by his many, many friends.
Tomorrow is ladies' day. The
ladies haven't been very lucky this
season on account Of rain. open
dates and more rain. So. girls.
pull hard for good weather and get
there early. You know the game
is scheduled for o'clock. SO stow
away your luncheon dishes in the
old sink and prepare your potatoes
for your dinner, have your can of
peas ready to open cause the game
will let you out just in time to
rush and fix the "old man" his din.
