World Series Crowd Records
Broken; Police Use Hose
As Fans Storm Park Wall
BY GARRETT WATERS

SHIBE PARK, PHILADELPHIA,
July ia crowd of world series
proportions filled the stands as
the Griffmen and AS met in their
double-header here today.
Every seat was taken, while
standing room was at premium.
The estimated attendance was
10000.
The Griffmen faced the super
hurler of baseball in the first
game as Connie Mack sent his
ace of aces, Lefty Grove, TO the
mound. Big Fred Marberry

Washington lineup. Jack Hayes
was at second base in the place
of Buddy Myer. Harry Rice was

In briefs filed Monday by Ambler's

Pleas Of a score Of blind husbands

according to Chadwick and David
Liggett of the Indianapolis Com

Senator John j. Blaine (RO,

that he was entirely too busy

much time to District affairs.
The Senator said:
"The present situation is one
which requires considerable

am I will not have as much
time to devote to District af-

Good Fellow Has Fine Chance
to Save Victim, Who Is
Without Kin Here

Eighty-six years ago a baby
girl was turned over to an
orphan asylum in Germany.
Today in Washington a frail
and withered old lady faces the
bitter prospect of ending a life
so inauspiciously begun in an in
stitution, again a public ward.
Can't Find Work
She told the Good Fellow Edi-
tor:
1T seems bitter hard after
working hard all my life and
doing my best to end UP just
as 1 began. I don't like insti-
tutiOns and I am willing to
work If 1 can find anything to
do. 1 sew and mend, but these
days there doesn't seem to be
work of that kind lying
around"
Mrs. M. raised four children to
manhood and womanhood. They
have all since died and she is
absolutely alone, with not a liv-
ing relative in the world.
Her family in the old country
were of good stock, but her
father died before she was born
and her mother in giving her
birth. Her grandfather, she says,
was a great inventor, but died
pennileSs.
She FaveS Eviction
She is living in an unheated,
unlighted room for which she is
supposed to pay IS a month rent.
With no money or means of earn.
ing any. the rent is unpaid and
she faces the prospect of losing
even that poor shelter.
The Good Fellow who interests
himself in Mrs. M. will find a
mine of colorful old tales of this
country and Germany. And the
most grateful old lady in the
world for a little attention.
