For nearly a quarter of a century—23 years to the exact—chief justices of the U.S. supreme court, members of a half dozen cabinets, senators whose names have been forgotten, and mylads of underpaid government clerks who make up the national capital, have been showing their quarters, halve and dollars in the wicket at American League ball park, hoping to see a Washington team that could do something besides get licked by seven other teams. And now they've not a pennant winner— And a world's series— At last Washington is known for something quite besides presidents and monuments, scandals and income taxes, politicians and parade. There is a Santa Claus after all. And he has come to this town. No longer will ancient wheeze reverberate around the smoking end of a Pullman car: "Washington oh, yes," first in peace, first in war and last in the American league." The town is crazy. If Bucky Harris, the 27-year-old manager of Washington's first pennant winning team, succeeds in outgrowing John McGraw and winning the world’s series, they might just as well transfer the national capital to Kokomo, Ind., for Washington won't be able to function as a regular national capital for years to come. It was 4:12 p.m. when the wires carried the flash into Washington that the Nationals had won from the Red Sox at Boston and clinched the flag. It had been raining all day a cold, heavy downpour that penetrated with the whirl of winter. Yeah, front of three electric scoreboards, before as many newspaper offices, stood thou- SOLONS' INFIELD IS MORE COMPACT NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The day was not so far distant when Washington merely was a place where they had a president, two ball players and a monument. But that day is not now. The Washington Senators, not only are champions of the American league by virtue of as game a fight as ever a ball club waged, but they may be world’s champions-in-prospect, for all the writer or anyone else knows. They are to meet the New York Giants in the 1924 world series, beginning Saturday, and the winner is as easy to guess as the probable weather on next Tuesday a week. Neither has a great ball club. They have too much in the way of paper profits, to-wit, apparent strength covering actual weakness. The Giants, for example, had a fine infield when Kelly, Frisch, Jackson and Groh were playing positions up to their best form. But with Terry at first base and Kelly in center field, the defense of both positions is weakened and little gained in other respects. It may be that Kelly will be returned to his natural position for the series. In that case the infield effectiveness will be increased. Groh is slipping and his efficiency figures to be impaired by his recent injury. Neither will Frisch be benefited by the fact that he will tote a dislocated finger into the series. Certainly the Senators possess the more compact infield of the two with Judge Peckinpaugh, regardless of whether Kelly appears in the infield or outfield. Frisch, uninjured, is a better second baseman and altogether a more valuable ball player than Harris, but not enough to make a great difference in a brief series, particularly if the Giant star is not at his best. Groh is likely to hit better than Binge. On the other hand, STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

The score was 13 to 1. The game reached its merriest heights in the seventh inning when "Uncle Nick" Altrock relieved Speece on the hill for the new American League champions. Boston scored only one run off Altrock, who celebrated his first time at bat with a triple, scoring Washington's lone tally. Ferguson and Ehmke twirled for Boston. The Red Sox made merry at the expense of Speece, slamming him hard and frequently.

It was 4:02 p.m. when the wires carried the flash into Washington that the Nationals had won from the Red Sox at Boston and clinched the flag. It had been raining all day a cold, heavy downpour that penetrated with the whirl of winter. Yorkie front of three electric scoreboards, before as many newspaper offices, stood thousands of people watching the flickering lights that told of the end of the quarter century of waiting for a winner. They took their drumming stolley. They cheered dumply as the Nationals went into the lead and ground dismally when Boston threatened. And then when the flash came, the downtown section echoed with cheers and yells, auto horns toothed, whistles shrieked. No president, no princely potentate, no king, no frock coated foreign minister, has ever been received with more acclaim than Bucky Harris and his baseball team is going to be received when they arrive Wednesday to prepare for the series. It sounds exaggerated but it’s true. Historic Pannsvilvanis-ave, which has reverberated to the great parades in history, which has seen Grant’s men bone from the war, the inaugural parades of all of the president’s and the classic military and naval processes of the nation, will at last witness a baseball parade. And in the reviewing stand, just as for other great processions, will be the president of the United States to bid welcome to the home comers. The cavalry from Fort Myer, across the Potomac, is going to turn out. At the head of the procession will be 12 beautiful debts of Washington society, mounted on 12 white chargers. And there will be scarlet coat hunted from the hunt clubs. And automobiles, and back of these thousands of matchers on foot. That’s what the national capital thinks of winning a baseball pennant. They’re going to give Walter Johnson, the veteran pitching ace of the Nationals, a jinnoustine, raised by popular subscription. The dollars of cabinet officers and the dimes of girl clocks in the government departments went to buy that machine. And Harris and the rest are going to get theirs, too. Rain or shine, it will make no difference in the welcome to the Nationals, nor in the size of the crowd that will see the first game of the world series next Saturday. The weather man was dubious today. He would not forecast fair weather, probably would be unsettled, he said. But damp weather is no damper for Washington’s baseball spirit. That’s already proven.

FOLLIES GIRL SUES LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30—Marie Mack, pretty member of the famous Follies, has been ordered to report in New York for rehearsals, so Judge J. W. Summerfield consented to advance the trial of marriage annulment suit and hear it today. Miss Mack, married to Howard R. Larson, an actor, alleged in her suit her husband had made misrepresentations to her. Seldom decide a world series; they make too few mistakes, even the worst of them. Neither Gowdy nor Synder comes within that definition. I like the Senators’ outfield of Goalin McNeely or Leibold and Rice, better than any combination McGraw might start. It is understood that he favors Wilson, Kelly and Young, good hitters all, but outside of Young, not very sound defensively. The Senators’ outfield probably will hit just as well at that. There is not enough difference in the two clubs to make any choice an absolute one. I happen to like the Giants. They will fight just as hard as any club extant and it is quite possible that they will outsmart the Washington club, with McGraw pulling the strings. Pitching and the breaks are the abiding factors. The Giants possibly will get the first and force the second. These two things are of more importance than the fact that Washington happens to have a slightly better infield and outfield. But, as said before, neither is a great ball club. It is possible, in fact that they were not the best clubs in their respective leagues, taking paper form in preference to results. They simply won because they refused to lose. FOREIGN EXCITION NEW YORK, Sept.

After early irregularity in which industrial and oil stocks showed the effect of the accumulation of heavy selling orders, the stock market today exhibited strength and firmness in every section of the speculative list, with railroad stocks again leading the way to higher prices. Trading was comparatively dull and the pool favorites were generally conspicuous for their absence from the trading lists, but industrial leaders like American Can and Steel Common returned to favor, and railroad shares, which kept under cover in the early reactionary period, took a more prominent part in the activities of the day. That the call money market had not fully relaxed from the tight situation introduced yesterday by the necessity of preparing for October settlements, was seen in the marking or renewal rates to 2½ per cent. Oil stocks flooded the market today and a large volume of sales, generally at fractionally lower prices, was reported. Coden sold down to 22¼ today, the lowest price since 1921. Stocks of the Standard Oil Co.'s were steady with fractional changes in prices, mostly upward. Some disappointment was experienced in the financial district at the failure of American Can directors to declare more than the regular quarterly dividend of 1⅔ per cent and the stock sold down to 127⅓ in the early trading after which it firmed up, but was unable to retain its higher position.

St. Louis and San Francisco pfd reached a new high for the year at 69, in anticipation of the re-umpition of the dividend at the directors' meeting tomorrow. The common stock and the listed bonds of the company also sold into high ground today as earnings were reported at higher figures for August. Elsewhere the railroad stock list was not as active as usual. Specialty stocks like Cast Iron Pipe, Colorado Fuel, Davison Chemical, etc., sold in small volume at slightly higher prices, but none of these stocks attracted much attention from either professional or outside traders. Outside markets were steady; cotton declining slightly on hege and professional selling. Wheat advanced about 2 cents a bushel. Silver was 70½ cents an ounce, a new high for the year.
