Johnson, the idol of all fandom. the mainspring of Washington's hopes, merged a hero even in defeat. For while the gallant veteran was hit hard and paved the way for his own downfall in the twelfth inning when he faltered, he gave a brilliant exhi- bition. Flashing all the amazing speed that has made him famous, Johnson struck out 12 of the Giants and in nine of the 12 innings baffled them with the craft and “smoke” of his delivery. But two mighty home Tuns by Kelly and Terry, thrusts that came with the suddenness of light- ning, and a savage drive in the tweltfh inning brought about the veteran's undoing. For eight innings Johnson matched his wonderful speed, his puzzling change of pace, with the southpaw skill of Nehf. The Giant star, despite sporadic streaks of wildness, had the better of a duel that was closely waged but unspectacular. Then came the ninth, and the Senators, breaking through the defense that had held them at bay, tied the score and threw i the game into a. wild, extra inning tussle. Judge had started the ninth in- auspiciousiy by striking out, when Bluege, young third baseman, brought the crowd to its feet with a single that Jackson got his glove on but could not handle. Peckinpaugh, vet- eran shortstop, followed with a line smash to left center, gnd Bluege curried over the plate with the ty- ing run amid a wild outburst that khalted the game for several minutes until the outfield could be cleared of a cushioy shower. E Semators’ Rally Checked. Peckinpaugh rested on second, with a prospect of scoring the winning run, and when he advanced to third on Ruel's out the crowd called for Johnson, as he strode to the plate, to win his own game. It was the sec- ond opportunity for heroic batting achievement that had been opened to the great pitcher, but, though he tried hard, he could not break through. This time he raised a short fly that Kelly grabbed in short centerfield. Two innings previously, with men on first and second and two out, Johnson smashed a drive that seemed headed for safety in right-center, but Frank | & pinch-hitter, Shirle; | @ tast diteh st | son dropped | typical Frisch, Giant captain, leaped high and brought down the ball to choke off the rally. t Both teams lost chances to score in the 10th, Frisch getting to second for the Giants on his hit and steal, while Harris and Rice singled in succession for the Senators, the former reaching third, only to be stranded when Gos- lin and Judge, the club's heavy artil- lery, were checked by Nehf. Giants Rush Two Over. The 11th passed quickly, neither side threatening. -Then came the 12th and Johnson, just when it seemed he was growing stronger under the tenseness of the strugglé, wilted. Hank Gowdy, veteran catcher, started the Giants' victorious rally when he walked, Johnson hitting him ith in the back with the fourth ball. Nehf lifted a short fly to center, which McNeely barely reached, then juggled. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

This break in their last rally was of the opportunities lost by the Nationals at several stages of the game. Nehf's wildness in the early part of the game threatened several times to cause him trouble but with men on bases the Nationals could not produce a decisive punch, making but one safe hit, a single by Judge, in the first five innings off Nehf's deceptive shoots. MeNeely, doubling to start the sixth, brought the National's first run across on successive infield outs, but in the seventh and eighth innings three men were left on the paths Though he was hit hard, vielding a total of 14 safe hits against an al- lowance of 10 by Nehf, Johnson was masterful until’ the fatal twelfth. Often he had the heaviest guns of the Giant attack swinging wildly at his fast ball. He struck out men in cight of the first 11 innings, includ- ing Young and Wilson three times piece. but it seemed the irony of that Kelly and Terry. -lunging wildly. should connect for the home runs that started the Giants toward victory.

The tension that has surrounded the world series, the attempted bribery that brought about the ban- ishment of O'Connell and Dolan and set the match to a new base ball conflagration, had cast its shadow over yesterday's game, but in the heat of playing conllict, it seemed lost The fought morale of the Giants, a vesterday. apparently has been unshaken by their ordeal, and the crowd yesterday, far from show- ing any hostility, ave ample proof that it was ready to accept the situation Today, the clubs will go into the nd stage of their battle, which, on the basis of rival strength yester- day. looms as likely to go the limit before a decision is reached.

There was no jubilation, but the players seemed to feel exactly as “Bucky" Harris said, that “tomorrow was another da; and that they would prove to their loyal friends that they were a better base ball club than the Giants. In the Giant clubhouse the spirit of the winning team, mostly young men, bubbled into expression; McGraw was cool and undisturbed, taking the vic- tory as though he considered it a matter of course. But when they went outside to await their taxicabs the National League champions dropped back into the same shell of reserve which has protected them from public question- ing since the story of attempted bribery of Heine Sand placed three of the stars under a suspicion which the absolution of Judge Landis has not wholly washed away. The Giants are a moral unit and take without reply the “silent treatment” which they received from the specta- tors, whose open-mindedness on the subject of the bribery was apparently reflected by refraining from expres- sion of any sort. The Giantr. were not “booed,” but neither were they cheered. PRIZE VETERANS’ GIFT. One gift which the Washington club prives most highly of all that it re- ceived before the initial battle with the Giants is a silver urn, presented by Maj. R. E. Scott, U. S. A, on be- half of the personnel of the Walter Reed Hospital. The fund with which the cup was purchased was made up of contributions from the wounded veterans at the hospital as well as officers detailed on duty there. The silver urn is an exact copy of the famous Paul Revere urn now in the Boston museum. | Public BASE BALL INVADES GIVIC CLUB SESSION Federation of Citizens’ As- sociations Pauses in Work to Commend Griffmen. The grip in which King Base Ball held Washington las tnight extended even into the board room of the Dis- trict Building, where the Federation of Citizens' Associations. had gathered for the first time this Fall to discuss clvie problems. / The delegates discussed one-man strect cars, the need for larger ap- propriations for shade trees along the streets and other municipal mat- ters, but finally the subject turned to the inevitable—base ball. It came up when Delegate J. Murphy of Kalorama Citizens' Assio- ciation proposed that the federation congratulate Clark Griflith and Stan- ley Harris upon their achievement in bringing Washington its first Ameri- can League pennant. The resolutiorn which was adopted, carried an ex- pression of hope that the team would win the world series despite the tem- porary setback yesterday. Urges Fight Continuance. Under the heading of utility af- fairs, William McK' Clayton reminded the ‘delegatcs that another public utflity hearing is to be held by the Utilities Commission to~ con- one-mun car question on the morning of October 15, and he outlined some of the reasons why the federation should continue to oppose the use of such cars. Mr. Clavton declared term “one-horse-town” in the old days to a small city that had only one-horse cars. The effort here is, he said, to make Washing- ton a one-man car town. 5. B. Henderson. chairman of the committee on police and fire protec- tion, commended the police depart- ment for its record of arrests during the last fiscal year. To Renew Suffrage Fight. Charles A. Baker, president of the federation. told the delegates that the citizens' joint committee on Dis- trict suffrage is preparing to renew its efforts this winter in support of the joint resolution to amend the nstitution so as to empower Con- Bress to grant the District representa- tion in the Senate, the House and the electoral college Mr. Baker said the citizens’ associations should prepare to take part in the undertaking Jesse C. Suter. chairman of the federation committee on fiscal rela- tions, said his commitsee was making Progress in the preparation of a re- port dealing with the question of fair treatment for the District in- deter- mining what proportion of the city expenses should be borne by the Federal Government. ¢ Leland T. Atherton submitted his resignation us secretary of the feder- ation and it was decided to leave the office vacant until the regular elec- tion of officers in November. Jesse C. Suter acted secretary last night. Mr. Clayton had the federation go on record in favor of an annual ap- propriation of $125,000 for main- tenance of the shade trees of the city. sider th that the Griffs Outscore Giants in Gifts Of Automobiles BY H. I. PHILLIPS. The Giants got four runs in the opening game of the world series. The Nationals got three runs and two automobiles. Even by Congres- sional Record sporting page prec dents this gave the Giants the victory. The Nationals got their two auto- mobiles just before the game began. One was presented to Walter John- son, the other to Roger Peckinpaugh. Up to the sixth inning these two cars were all the Washington team had {o show for the game. Then they got a run, getting another in the ninth, tying the score and mak- ing an overtime contest of a base ball game that gave Washington more excitement than any event since the news of Lee's surrender to Grant. From a dishonesty standpoint the game was a distinct disappointment. There had been so much emphasis put on dishonesty in base ball the rast few days that there were cash customers here who felt positively cheated. Not a single bid was made for a shortstop during the entire 12 innings. Nobody offered anybody else a sin- gle thing on the playing field, and much the same caution had spread to the grandstand and bleachers. One fan offered another a cigarette just before the game opening, the latter shouting, “I am an honest man, sir," and demanding immediate impeach- ment proceedings, Still there was one outstanding in- stance of gross dishonesty. Walter Johnson was the victim and Fate was the guilty party. If Fate managed things strictly on the level she would have fixed it so Johnson would have won. Johnson has been 18 years on the Washington team, and he holds the world record for patience in wait- ing for his chance in a world series. Simple justice demanded that he get the breaks in the first game. But Fate was “reached” by an intangible Cozy Dolan. At the next session of Congress a bill wiil be introduced and passed putting the left field bleachers in the Washington base ball park back a few hundred feet. And it will be one bill President Coolidge can be de- pended upon not to veto. In fact, there were wails from the throats of Washington fans because the home team didn’t even seem sure just where the right field bleachers were located. Twice in the hectic tenth, with two men on bases, two Natlonals, Goslin and then Judge, drove what looked to be screaming three-baggers and possible homers along the right field line, only to have them twist foul by inches. Coolidges Take Cruise After Game, Observing 19th Wedding Anniversary Putting in one of the busiest days since he has been in the White House, President Coolidge boarded the Mayflower, presiden- tial yacht, last night to observe with” Mrs. Coolidge and intimate friends the nineteenth anniversary of their wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge drove di- rectly to the yacht from the base ball park, where they witnessed the opening game of the world series. A short cruise down the Potomac, continuing probably until tomorrow morning, is plan- ned. They were accompanied to the game and on their trip down the river by Frederick H. Gillett, Speaker of the House, and Mrs. Gillett, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns of Boston. \ Yesterday noon, after a morning marked by several business con- ferences, the President dedicated the memorial to the 1st Division of the American Expeditionary Forces. At the conclusion of the exercises Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge reviewed the veterans. It was 1 o'clock before the cere- monies were over and fhe base ball game was scheduled to start at 2 o'clock. Hurrying back to the White House, the President changed his formal clothes, ate lunch and with Mrs. Coolidge started for the base ball park, arriving in time to take part in the opening ceremonies and per- mit the game to start on time for the impatient crowd. was applied | OCTOBER 5. 1924—PART 1. GRIFFS ARE DEFEATED, 4 TO 3, IN OPENING GAME OF SERIES| Just Right Today (Gontinued from First Page.) of the enemy camp that caused the downfall of Washington. Kelly, one of the most versatile players on the New York club, a first baseman who filled a gap in the Giants' outfleld in the late season drive on which the pennant depended and who finistied the game yesterday as a second baseman when strategy dictated a realignment of his forces by Manager McGraw with a fine bit of fielding that nipped a dangerous Washington rally, met one of John- gon’s offierings solidly in the second inning and sent i sailing over the head of Leon Goslin into the temporary stand in front of the left field bleach- ers for the first run of the 1924 world series. A veritable giant in stature Kelly has license to manufacture blows of such dimensions for he is a hitter with a .324 rating and colfected no fewer than 24 circult clouts during the recent regular season. It could be expected that he might whale a ball over the head of Left Fielder Leon Goslin of the Nationals and be- youd the confines of the playing field. But it happened that the pitching count on him at the time was' three 'alls and two strikes and it seemed that Johnson had taken the long chance of serving him one ‘“in the &roove'—straight over the center of the plate, No such explanation can be offered of the duplication of this feat by Fred Terry in the fourth inning, however. Terry is young in years, a comparative fledgling in base ball, who boasts of nodest average of 239 for the 77 games in which he participated with the Giants this season. Johnson had pllowed his record of one strike-out an inning in the three preceding rounds by victimizing both Ross Young, topmost of Giant sluggers, and the selfsame Kelly in that fourth inning, when Terry came to bat, and had made but one delivery, a wide one, when the crash came that again sent Goslin Scurrying to the low rail- ing in front of ‘the field seats once more to helplessly watch the ball sail out of reach uver his head. Then,, paradoxically enough, Johnson struck out Wilson to gain the dis- tinction of having retired the side on strikes. Nehf Bafes Grifin. During this time the Nationals were meeting with poor success in their effort to break through the defensive armor of Nehf, a solitary single by Judge in round 4 being the extent of their efforts at bat. They did not suc ceed in getting a runner around the cir- cuit until two innings later when Karl MeNeely. the young center fielder ob- tained from Sacramento in exchange for the peppery Wid Matthews and cash aggregating $30.000 paved the way with a looping double near the left field foul line and scored, after Harris’ death had placed hfm on third base, when Rice sent a roller Frisch at such a stow pace that no play at the plate was possib Jolnson had a chance materially to aid his own cause in the following frame when Peck’s single through voung Lindstrom at third base, fol- lowed by Roger's theft of second, and a pass to Ruel brought the pitcher up, but his drive toward right field lacked force and Frisch was able to get it with a leaping catch rikes Out. failed in a pinch in the eighth inning ‘when he permitted Nehf to hook a third strike over on him with Rice at the middle cushion, which he had attained by virtue of a pass and a fine bit of pilfering, but the opportunity of opportunities con- fronted Johnson himself in the ninth. Bluege - had singled straight through Goone Goslin Lindstrom's legs and toted in the tying | Peck belted a two-bagger to Ruel's infield retirement run when left center. “Well Lick ’Em” Sp Perfect Echo in Fans After Defeat| Beaten. but not out-gamed, thrown for the first count, but far from over- whelmed, Washington’s base ball idols have covered themselves with glory in the midst of defeat. Thirty-six thousand throbbing fans. roaring in a moment of hysteric frenzy. saw those fighting Nationals come from behind in a staggering ninth-inning rally to carry the first game of the world series into three extra innings. and when the smoke of battle had lifted there seemed but one thought in the minds of the throng: “We'll lick 'em tomorrow Washington was sorry last night that Walter Johnson had lost his first chance in a world series. But there was no gloom, only that deep- seated conviction everywhere, on street corners, in hotel lobbies and around dinner tables, that Washing- ton can and will send the Giants down to defeat and bring the world championship home to this topsy- turvy old National Capital. Never before in base ball history has a team gone into a world series supported by a more loval crowd than the Griffmen yesterday. Even after Goose Goslin had been tagged at first for the final out in that fatal twelfth inning, and perspiring Hank Gowdy, elongated Giant catcher, had hurled his mask and glove into the air in a private little celebration of his own, those leather-lunged thou- sands stood in their seats and howled encouragement to their game heroes. Three Hours of Agony. 1t was a scene the like of which has seldom, if ever, been equaled in a base ball park. For more than three anguishing hours, hours just crammed full of moments that liter- ally wrumg one's. stomach inside out with nervous excitement, the thou- sands—men and women, boys and girls—literally clung to the edges of their seats while the gruelling contest raged on the diamond in front of them. It was perhaps the most distin- guished crowd that ever attended a world series. But that 36,000, from President Coolidge down, left reserves back home in official places, and no plebian in the bleechers ever howled longer or louder than did the men and women of national prominence who were scattered by the hundreds through the grandstands that were packed solid from field boxes to rear railings. President and Mrs. Coolidge occu- pled a box directly beside the Wash- ington team’s dug-out. The President got into the thick of it a minute after he reached the park when he was handed a brand new.ball and obliged to toss it out to the smiling Walter Johnson by way of starting the fra- cas. Apparently in preparation for a restful hour or two of relaxation, the President lighted a cigar and settled himself comfortably in his seat. President Rises With Others. But the Chief Executive's moments of relaxation was doomed to be short lived. Those crowds in the stands and bleachers were rising and fall- ing with the precision of machines, and with them, each time, rose the President, almost unconsciously in the tense excitement of the gladia- torial classic. Hat in hand, he stood in eager expectancy time and again when it seemed that Washington might score. : Scattered through the remainder of the stand, and even squeezing them- selves into lowly dollar seats in the darkly spotted ‘bleachers, were other officials of the Government. Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon occupled the | to placed Peck on third and Johnson had only to make any sort of a safety to end the game with a score of 3 to 2 to his credit, but’ Barney primarily is a pitcher, not a batsman, and his chance to earn undying fame by providing the punch that won his own first effort in a Fall classic went glim- mering when Kelly got under his fly in center fieid. Frisch’s single and tneft gave the Giants an opening in the tenth that neither Young nor Kelly was capable of profiting by, while Goslin and Judge failed similarly in the latter half of this session after singles by Harris and Rice had placed Griffmen on first and second bases. ther side was able to get under headway in the eleventh, but in the twelfth and final frame the die was cast. Hank Gowdy, honored by hav- ing an athletic field at a United States Army post named in his honor in recognition of his having been the first player in organized base ball to enlist when war was declared with Germany. was given title to first base when the fourth ball that Johnson delivered struck him in the ribs. Nehfx Single Helps. hf helped his own couse along by looping a single to center on which MeNeely made a desperate effort at a shoestring catch.

With none out the situation looked bad as Jack Bentley, a native of near- by Sandy Spring, came up to bat in place of Lindstrom. Bentley was sent to first on four balls, filling the bases and making the situation appear even more ominous. The tension of the fans was relieved in some degreel when Harris grabbed a rolle the bat of the dangerous Fr forced Gowdy at the plate with a peg to Ruel, but consternation prevailed when Young rainbowed a Texas League single to center that scored | Nehf and put Southworth, who had been sent in b run for Bentley, on| third base in a position to score on the long fly that Kelly delivered That ended the scoring for the Giants, despite the fact that the bases ain were filled when Terry scratch- d a single past Judge, for Goslin in- tercepted Wilson's liner for the third out. but it did not terminate the com- | motion amoniz the fans, for the Na- tionals came back with a thrust that | all but deadlocked the pastime again | and secmed for a time likely to re- ward them with victory Jnckson Muffs Fly.

An hour before the game was called the stands were packed. On four sides towering walls of flushed faces banked the field and from throats that never seemed to tire rose a roar that needs no comparison when the Nationals romped out for practice, immediately after the Giants had gone through their paces and “done their stuff” in a fashion that convinced the pulsating fans they were in for some merry entertain- ment. Just about the time the Nats were completing their turn at practice, the United States Army Band. accompa- nied by a company of Marin company of doughboys, marched into the stadium and circled the field; coming to a halt around the home plate. As though by prearranged signal, with a crashing honking of klaxo! two automobiles through the gates and followed the wake of the soldiers. Cars Presented, Players. As they were brought to a gracetul stop just in front of the band, Walter Johnson and Roger Peckinpaugh were called out. To the Old Master went a brand new Lincoin sedan, a gift of the grateful citizens of Wash- ington. Roger, apparently most sur- prised, was presented a Peerless tour- ing car by his fellow townsmen out in Cleveland. and the Governor of Ohio came all the way from Colum- bus to make the presentation in real style. Just at that moment the band sounded off with “Hail to the Chier” and President Coolidge entered his box, accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge. For about the thousandth time the throng howled in delight and arose to its feet.

Weather for today, ha cheerfully predicted, will be warm, with gen- tle zephyrs blowing hither and yon; a day, in fact, just right for a world series game and modeled very much on the order of the one vesterday, which all agreed was perfect. Showers are predicted for to- morrow-—but who cares about to- morrow? _— raised and without ceremony the President then tossed out the bail. “Bucky"” Harris ran out onto the field, followed by his teammates, and | the crowd did what most ]Wflplo; thought it simply could not do, it| howled, screamed and yelled louder | than ever, But still it had not| reached the height of its noise-mak- ing power. That came a second later when Walter Johnson strolled out to his familiar old place in the pitcher's box. Mament Epochal. That was an epochal moment for Washington, and Washington fandom made the most of it.

Slowly that big fellow swung that famous right arm over his head twice, and the second time there flew from his hand the first ball of the 1924 world series. Straight at the plate it whistled, but broke slightly off, and Umpire Connolly called it a ball.
