were. But Bucky and his boys
must, simply must, win this III
OIL pennant, thassall, and the best
way for them TO do that is to
win all the games they can from
Philadelphia. The champions will
be out today to put over the same
thing for Convey. Don't miss i.
Bucky must have filled his boys
with win, wigor and vitality
just before the game. When the
bell rang they actually ram out
into the field. 1t seemed az though
they were eager to get at those
AS and simply would not be held
back. Well, they finished the same
way.

when Rice doubled into right
field in the first inning the fans
sure went wild. Two men were
out at the time.
The Importance Of this series was
shown by the number Of telegraph
wires running from the press
stand. The farthest one came from
Toronto, Canada, while New York
and New Jersey papers had repre-
sentatives present. Every Balti-
more paper was represented.
The first hit off Walter Johnson
was made by Bing Miller In the
second inning. 1t was AZ three
Dagger down the left field foul
line. Miller used to play with the
Griffs back in 1922.
1t was a perfect bedlam in the
second inning when HarriSs passed
both Peck and Ruel bringing up
johnson. The fans went wild. 1t
was wasted though when McNeely
took a third strike.
Rice's second hit I'm tn third
inning was q perfect bunt, pull

Philadelphia first Sacker did not
even make an attempt to get the
runner.
When Sammy Rice went to third
base on Cochran's wild throw a
fan hurled his hat out upon the
field, but it was a straw of ancient
vintage and had but short life
ahead anyway.
The Rajah electrified the crowd
by stealing home in the third in

what the Griffs thought Of the
Mackmen.
Bucky Harris sure didn't look
like q sheik in the fourth frame
after he made great stop of
Simmons grounder over second
base but couldn't make the play,
when he fell face foremost in the
dirt. Al Schacht came to his rescue
with a nice wet towel.
During the fourth inning the
scoreboard boys were so interested
in the game they forgot all about
the scoreboard. Can't blame EN-,
can you?
Wonder whether the gentleman
who sat with his feet hanging
over the ledge in the upper tier
near the press box wanted to
show his collegiate socks or was
he suffering from hot dogs?
Slim Harriss rolled to Joe Harris
in the fifth frame and the fans
accompanied him to the dug-out
with a hip-hip.hip chorus. As a
matter of fact Slim got the chorus
every time he strutted on or off
the field.

see the fannettes pull out their Tags
during the game and puff away;
they seem to enjoy them too. Won
