Champions
of World
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER
rN,v,,0s Snorts Editor

The 1925 Griffmen are already
champions of the world for an
other year. Their series with the
Pittsburgh Pirates came down to
the seventh game and was score
less until the last of the ninth
when Walter Johnson hammered
the ball over the fence, settling
the argument for once and for all.
Anyway, that's what Odell S.
Smith told packed house at the
Occidental Hotel last night where
Fred BuchhoIz rendered in MEM
DRY of his father, the late Gus
Buchholz, a testimonial banquet
to President Clark C. Griffith,
Manager Stanley r. Harris and
the members of the two-time PEN
nant-winners in the American
League.
Odell s. Smith was the prize pep
per pot among many good speakers.
He had energy to burn, and burned
lot of 1t, greatly to the amuse-
ment Of everybody.
Commissioner Cuno HI. Rudolph
read a letter Of congratulation
from President Coolidge who praised
the excellent conduct of the cham
pions on and off the field.
Addresses were made by Com.
missioner Frederick A. Fenning,
Congressman Frederick N. Zihl-
man, Edward F. COlIaday, Repub-
Ifcan national committeeman for
the District Of Columbia; Henry
L. Sweetheart, president of the
National Press Club; Odell S.
Smith, President Clark G. Grit
fifth, and Manager Harris, all de-
lightfIIly introduced by Colonel
Robert III. Young, son Of the late
"Nick" Young, for many years
president of the National League.
Bucky Harris introduced each
member Of his championship team
and Walter Johnson's name brought
fellow blushed like a. school girl as
he took his seat. Bucky kept to
the last his introduction OF his
side kick and adviser, Roger
Peckinpaugh" and the reception
given the ''most valuable player
to his team for 1925" had Peck's
face burning red beneath its tan.
Roland S. Robbins, of B. F.
Keith's, provided an excellent en-.
tertainment sby artists from the
Rialto, Keith's, La Java, and The
Better ole Club.
