WASHINGTON, ON VERGE OF DEFEAT, FIGHTING GAMELY Harris and His Team De- termined to Battle the Giants to Last Ditch— Johnson’s Defeat Comes as Crushing B}ow. he Ao, ‘ashington, sted Press Oct. 9.—Groggy all cut up, Kid Washington, plon of the American gaged in a battle with the Gotham Gilant, strong man of the National, | for possession of baseball's fairest prize, the world's championship, is hole today to expire or to fight to live anther day. Roger Peckinpaugh, veteran short- stop, whose absence from the contest was again sharply felt in the Giant| 8 to 2 victory of yesterday, will make | & heroic effort to get back today to engage In the battle, which, if won by the Giants, will end the series at four games to two but which would tie up the issue at three games each | and make another contest necessary it Washington wins. Manager Harris, immediately af- after yesterday's battle won t} and Washington. was awarded e | seventh pattie if one is played. To clinch the series today, Man- ager McGraw will continue his s cessful left-hand strategy and Arthur Nehf who won th from Johnson but whose hand, in- | jured in that contest prevented him from taking his regular turn yester- | day. McGraw is of the opinion that]¢ Neht will be able to start today but | stated that Virgil Barnes, who was | knocked put Tuesday, would be given another opportunity if Nehf was not ready. Manager Harris will gamble his remaining chips on Tom Zachary whose curving magic baffled the Giants Sunday until he weakened. If Tom repeats today and is good until the late innings, “Firpo” Marber will be rushed to the rescue Mogridge, another port-sider whose good pitching was a prelude to the second senatorial victory, will be saved for the final. The series has been full of drama and melodrama but the most touch- ing picture of baseball history, prob- ably, was drawn yesterday when the | ambition of a lifetime was denied to Walter Johnson, a heroic figure whose achievements and healthy in- fiuence will forever stand in relicf on the frieze picturing the developments of the game. After 18 years of great hurling, with a losing club, Johnson entered his first world series with the added glory of being named the most valu- able player to his club in the Amer- jcan league. The ire country wanted to see Johnson win a world series game, and there were times when a variation of two fest In a batted ball would have insured a vic- tory. “I couldn't hold them.” sald after the game. “I chances but I couldn’t come thre | and I may not play next year. | In the early stages of the game it | seemed that the fates would smile on the veteran.

Y. Board Cuddy De Mareo, the clever little Pittsburgher who has been knocking at the door of fame in the light- weight division for a couple of years will have the biggest chance of his when he faces Tommy O'Brien of Milwaukee In the main ybout of 12 roundy on George Mul- {ligan's opening indoor boxing card ’nf the season Iriday nighg in the Ivield street armory. And this big {chance comes ahout by an act of the New York state boxing commission iin naming O'Brien as one of the 1three leading contenders for Benny Leonard’s lightweight title, Now it happens that O'Brien and DeMarco met a few weeks ago in | the Queensboro stadium in New | York. After piling up a big lead in points in the first five rounds, De Marco ran into O'Brien’s terrific right in the sixth round, was floored for the count of nine, steadily gave away points where he had been gaining them before and eventually lost the | decision. De Marco claimed it was | all a mistake; that he hadn't watch- ed O'Brien closely enough and that if he was given another chance at the walloping Irishman he would prove to the fistic world that his previous setback was all a mistake. Mulligan' has given him this| chance by bringing the two boys to- gether in a Waterbury ring, some- thing which several New York pro-‘ moters had been desirous of doing. De Marco is hard at work ¥or the | the fight. Tuesday, went right to work and in- | tends to keep going right up to the day of the fight. His chance is at| hand and he means to make the | most of it. But he will not have anything on O'Brien in this regard. | Ever since he knocked out Bill Gil-| more in Providence last we the | career ing out, at his best to repeat his previous win over the Pittsburgher. He doesn’t intend losing that fine chance which the New York state commis- sion has given him to meet Leonard 'm slip away through any upset at the hands of De Marco. be seen that both boys have much at stake when they face one anoth- er ring. | Nither Glants Nor CARD LOOKS SNAPPED DURING WEDNESDAY’S GAME APTALLOVALTO |/4KE DAUBERT, CAPTAIN OF BASEBALL OUTHT) civey REDs, is cALLED ouT Casts Asme Business for To- day’s Game By The Assoclated Press, Washingten, Oct. 9.—King base- ball was back in Washington today prépared to put on his final act of the world series classic In 1924 in one or two scenes—depending upon the success of the_Senators in thelr tilt with the New York Glants in the sixth game for baseball's premier honors. Once again the natlon's capital thrust aside its other business to jam its way into Griffith stadium where today the American league pennant winners, with their backs to the wall, must defeat the Glants or yield finally their . hope of world championship. No waning of enthusiasm or hope among local fandom was evident in the crowds that laid early siege to the ticket hooths at the stadium for the several thousand bleacher seats put on sale at 9 a. m. All other space in the grounds had been sold out long before the outcome of the New York games had been deter- mined. Hours before game time thousands of fans were on their way {o the ball park girded for the tense moments of battle that would deter- mine whether Washington tonight would still have a chance for the world title or must be content with its first pennant in 20 years of de- feated hopes. Both teams, returned from New York to the scene of battle here last night. A crowd of more than five thousand at Union station shouted greetings and en- couragement to the Washingto. players individually and collectively. It any of them were aware of the fact that the Giant players had ar- rived on the game train they gave little indication of it. Among the notables of bascbail re- turning to the city on the train was Commissioner TLandis, whe said he Iknew nothing that would interest the public concerning baseball, and that he had a fine meal op the train, Officials of the Washington club announced last night that tickets al- ready had been printed in anticipa- tion of & seventh game to decide the |championship, should the Senators win today, HOME RUN RECORDS Senators Seem Likely to Eclipse Other Marks in CirJl!l Smashes.
