Hallahan and Haines in winning their
games, but the base ball fates were
against him and he was not destined to
turn in q victory.
Due to the pitching superiority of
Earnshaw, Grimes and Grove the hit
ting In this series was pitifully weak.
During the regular season the Cardinals
batted well over three hundred as a
team and the Athletics just missed the
coveted mark, but in the championship
st. Louis compiled the puny average of
two hundred, while Philadelphia trailed
with one ninety-seven. Colbert, sup
posedly a weak-hitting shortstop, led
the Cardinals at the bat with three
fifty-three, while AL Simmons, slugger
extraordinary of the Macks, showed his
mates the way with an average of
three siXty-four.
Base ball now goes into moth balls
until next year. II has been a good
season from the standpoint Of both the
fans and the clubs. The National
League race was close one throughout,
with three teams fighting for the lead
almost down to the finish. In the
American League Philadelphia had lit
tie difficulty in winning, although Wal
ter johnson and his crew put up stub
born resistance. 1t is all over now,
though, until next April. when the
stands will be packed with thousands
of base ball hungry enthusiasts, ready
to back their favorites to the limit.

"Oldroyd collection" became nationally
famous and slowly grew as new items
were added.
Tempting offers were made to Col.
Oldroyd, as he was known throughout
the country, for the sale of the collec-
ton, but he refused them all, hoping
that eventually the Government would
take his treasures and preserve them
for all time as a public museum Of his
tory. That was finally done only few
years ago by act of Congress. Col. Old
royd survived this long wait and had
the satisfaction at last of finding his
collection insured against disintegration
and loss.
Now at the age Of lightweight he is
dead and deeply mourned. He rendered
valuable service, unselfishly and in a
patriotic spirit. Had it not been for
his youthful inspiration gained from his
reading of a campaign tract of 1860 he
would probably not have carried through
his unique enterprise, the result Of
which is today the assemblage of ma
terials relating to Abraham Lincoln
that otherwise would never have been
preserved.

A Pitching Masterpiece.

To George Earnshaw, husky right
handler Of the Philadelphia team, who.
during the past week, has emulated the
pitching achievements Of that old mas
ter, Christy Mathewson, must 20 the
lions share of the credit for the second
consecutive world championship of the
team from the City of Brotherly Love.
OF course, Earnshaw could not have
won by himself, and his mates gave
him valiant support both extensively
and defensiyely, but in hurting a total
OF twenty-five scoreless innings out of
the twenty-five he pitched and allow
ing the Cardinals only thirteen safe hits
and two runs over this stretch Big
George" is the outstanding hero OF the
series. And when 1t is realized that
Earnshaw, after holding the enemy to
two hits for seven innings on Monday,
came back with only one days rest to
limit them to five hits yesterday the
qualities of his performance can be
really appreciated.
Despite the wizardry of Macks great
pitcher, the st. Louis team made a
game fight to win the coveted title
"Gabby" Street, Walter Johnson's old
battery mate and now manager Of the
St. Louis team, refused to give UP until
the last man was out. Grimes pitched
two fine games for the Missourians but
unlike Earnshaw, was given no batting
support and his two hve-ait. carefully

The Collector of Lincolniana.

Probably every boy has at one time
Or another in his Juvenile career the
passion for collecting things. Some
collect stamps, others coins. others as

nniscellania of no particular classifica-
ton. the odds and ends that attract a
boys attention. Usually these collec-
tons languish and eventually disap-
pear. Again. in rare instances, they
persist, and the habit continues and
often there are valuable results.
Such was the result of the collection
enterprise of Osborne H. Oldroyd. who
seventy years ago, at the age of eighteen,
was inspired by pamphlet relating TO
the career Of Abraham Lincoln, then
candidate Of the Republican party for
President of the United States. This
frail booklet. a mere campaign docu-
ment," gave young Oldroyd an objec-
tive, which was to assemble everything
available relating to his new-found hero.
Lincoln was elected President, and the
Civil War began soon after. In the
frst year of the war the Ohio boy en-
listed in the Northern Army. He fought
throughout the four years OF the con-
hict and on his return TO peace-time
career the death of Lincoln gave him q
fresh inspiration to carry on his collec-
ton o. Lincolniana. He made 1t a

The Chambers Detectives.

An awakening civic consciousness is
o hopeful sign in any city. In Wash
tngton. where taxpaying folk are not
yet granted full rights Of citizenship
it Is an especially heartening thing to
note the effort. time and thought ex-
pended by unofficial, volunteer groups
in the interest of the general welfare
Of the Capital
Though deprived of any direct voice
IN its law-making body and under the
administration of appointed officials
not by law responsible to them, local
residents display q civic consciousness
truly remarkable in its steadfastness of
purpose.
The success of the work of such
bodies may be gagged by the number
Of projects they have sponsored or
inaugurated which local and Federal
of1cials have adopted in the admin
istration of the National Capital If
one were to tabulate the number of
hours per year which are devoted by
members of local trade, professional
and civic groups to serious study de-
signed to make Washington a greater
and better Capital City, the total no
doubt would be amazing, even to those
who know of the public spirit that
abides here.
The washington Chamber of Com
merce. one Of the bodies through which
local taxpayers have an opportunity for
service, now is in the midst of a two
fold expansion program. 1t is seeking
to enlarge the scope of its usefulness
frst by building larger membership
to the end that it may speak for a
larger body of Washington residents.
Conveniently, the chamber is reorean-
ling its activities that more effective
work may be accomplished by its spe-
cialized committee groups.
The Chamber, like other worthy To-
cal groups, has performed laudably
and unselfishly in serving the interests
of the Capital and its populace. Week
In and week out, its members have sci
aside more personal detectives to study
and act upon civic questions. Tax and
city budget problems have been given
the best thought Of its members. Ma
tional representation for the District
insurance rates, police and trafic. d.
ploma mills. industrial Development
are some of the wide range Of topics
1t has considered.
The Chamber can well be proud OF
It's past, for it has served Washington
faithfully. It's five-year expansion pro-
gram Is designed to enlarge the scope
OF Its work and to increase the men,
bership for which it speaks.
The Chamber merits the congratula-
tons 1t receives for its past record and
the many wishes for real success In
Its expansion program.

"a Billion-Dollar" City Next

From the Shreveport Journal
When the lamented Thomas B. Reed,
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, generation ago, announced that

taxpayers OF the land considered it
merely as an argument In support of the
