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.

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.
