CAPITAL WILL
; GREET TEAI.1
Good Weather Promised
for . CcwmonJes Today
and for Balance of the
' Week in Washington.
WABiilNQTON (By tho Associ
ated Press) Th nalion's! capital
continued Tuesday night to get a
kick out of baseball. After the
first shock' of excitement Monday
.the capital city attempted to gain
composure but without , success.
Tho attitude of tho city over Its
first pennant might be summed up
in the words of a grizzled old fun:
"Well, George, wo lived to see
II."
Rcorft boards didn't function
Tuesday. Even Ihn youngster with
his school books hardly paused In
trout of a bulletin board to leant
the result of the Henators' last en-
counler wMh Boston and tho Itcd
Sox's it to 1 victory -made no
Impression.
The end of one . baseball act
came Monday and Washington
Tuesday night tried tp get back
Its breath before tho curtain rises
Wednesday with & welcome home
celebration to thq team. !
For years the. capital's populace
has been called upon thousands of
times to furnish . the proverbial
"banks of humanity" needed for a
parade. And whether .Washing
ton wanted to or not, .the. law of
courtesy always forced the city to
turn out to Pennsylvania evenue'B
Sidelines to cheer ever time a
hand started to wander rroni tno
Peace monument toward the
White House.
Capital Celebrate.
But Wednesday, for about the
first time In history. Washington
will turn out for A- celebration all
Its own after more 'than 20 years
of trying it has, what. It. wanted
a1 pennant and it is also to get a
chance to Heo Walter. Johnson In
a world series game. ; And so
Wednesday will bo Washington's
day of days und Tuesday night
wus its night of nights.
Finishing touches Tuosday were
added to plans, for the reception
for the victors. The district com-
LlGCEIi' till Co.
mlsslonam Issued a proclamation'
congratulating tho team on behalf
of the city and expressing confi
dence that tho Senators would
vanquish the New York Giants in
ihe world aeries, contests which
start here Saturday.
The weather bureaa also caught
the city's spirit, and besides reiter
ating its promise of good weather
for the week-end, Included in the
fuvoralde forecast the parade day
after tomorrow. , Almost simultan
eously with the announcement or
the forecast the rain that had de
luged the city for 48 hours, ceused
and the sun peeped out fur a tew
minutes before dusk.
(AmgratiilntioitK ;iven.
' Various civic organisations Tues
day passed .resolutions of con
gratulations, ltudlo companies an
nounced plans for broadcasting
the series and the onV damp spots
in the city's enthusiasm were ,
found among one or two orguniisn- j
tlons that had events scheduled
for some time In the next la days, 1
Clark C. Griffith, president of
the Washington .club, and for
many years pilot of the pennant
winners, lopped the excitement by 1
issuing a statement which read: j
"There isn't a learn In the coun- j
Iry that can bmt Washington in
Its present mood. These boys are
simply fired with u determlnatrou
to win."
"Griff." as ho is known to
Washington fans, also said tho
Senators' achievement "vindicates
my faith in Stanley Harris' his
27-year-old manager.
