Washington from Wins
(Continued Page 1.)
egists of the game when he takes
the field against John MeGraw, gray
haired “master mind” of the Giants.
Sharing the glory of Washington’s
triumph with Harris are Walter
Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers
of all time, and Clark Griffith, now
president and former manager of
the club. In his 18th season, John
son has been the mainstay of the
team’s twirling corps and now will
realize a life long ambition, to
pitch in a world’s series. Griffith,
the “old fox,” is credited with be
ing “the man behind the gun” in
the Senators’ campaign, and having
had much to do with the club’s suc
cessful strategy.
Washington’s first flag in the 24
seasons the club has been in the
American league was won after a
terrific closing fight i n which H
vis and his men came through to
victory on foreign fields. It is tak
ing no credit from the Senators’
victory, however, to say that they
were friendly fields. Nearly every
where Washington has appeared in
its final drive, fans eager for the
overthrow of New York, cheered
Senators.
Tigers Made Bid.
The Detroit Tigers hung on until
near the finish and dealt what
d the knockout blow to the
kees when they took three in a
from the champions on the
western trip.
Washington climbed slowly
surely to the top. From
place after a month of
in May, they rose to fourth
tion the middle of June and to sec
ond on July 19, Shortly afterward
they had a brief experience at
ting the pace, only to have the Yan
kees sw’eep back to jfhe top.
Senators clung to second
until August 28, when they dislodg
ed the Yankees with an 11 to 6 vic
tory over the Hugmen.
Washington was never headed,
though this month the Yankees man
aged to pull up into a brief tie,
That last series with New York
here, which Washington took three
out of four games, proved the turn
ing point of the race. It gave the
Senators the added bit of confidence
they needed for the final dash and
took something of the edge off Yan
kee hopes.
Drinks Eggnog
With Strangers
And Passes Out
Greenville, Ga., Sept. 30.—Officers
of Meriwether county are search
ing for three white men and a ne
gro, who, on Saturday night rob
bed J. R. Comer, storekeeper at
Stovall, this county, and looted his
store after he had been knocked out
by a drink of eggnog prepared by
the men in his place of business.
Comer, according to his story,
knew nothing from the time he took
the drink until yesterday morning,
when he reported,the incident to the
sheriff.
According to his story, the men
visited his store early Saturday
night. After making a number
small purchases, one of them asked
if he objected to them taking
drink in his store. When he said
that he did not, one of them went
to the car, returning with a quart
moonshine. He took a drink with
them, he said.
Spying some eggs, one of
men suggested that they make some
eggnog, and Comer let them go
his room in the store to prepare the
drink. While he was busy
customers they made the
finally calling him.
He took one drink, he said, and
remembers nothing else until
awoke Sunday, in bed, with
clothes on.
The visitors had taken some
money from his pockets, some more
from his trunk and had carried
away stock from his store amount
ing to several hundred dollars.
