The president, by leaving his desk to take part in the ceremon ies, set the fashion for the day, for all Washington apparently swarmed to the avenue. Jt was about the " first time in history that, the capital city ever staged its own parade for its own heroes, and Washington made the most of it. Atphhp I Historic For well on, to 100 years Penn sylvania avenue has been the high way of processions and pageants the parade -ground on which a presumably representative cross section of the American people has expressed the national emo tions. I : ; And on all these occasions there were displays qf the human emo tions ranging from positive apathy to mild curiosity, interested ap proval and Fourth of July enthusi asm. But it remained for a pen nant winning baseball club to ex tract a real hooray from the pub lic. It looked as if tens of thou sands of men,? women and child ren were trying to turn them selves inside out. "- And as it was Washington's first parade of its own, the city, supposedly a sedate capital, cele brated in the way it liked best, and in a way tinged 'with the ear marks of Main street; v j A squadron of . mounted police ; headed ; the procession. Next in line came the United States caval ry band from ! Fort Myers, Va., which was followed by a dele gation from the Washington Rid ing and Hunt club, attired in scar let riding coats. Immediately pre ceding the players' automobiles was an escort of ten of the city': most beautiful young, women mounted on horseback. The fes tivities of the day were closed to night with an informal banquet to th players, j Before the cere monies of the afternoon the team took a snappy workout behind the closed gates of Griffith stadium while thousands of fans milled about on the outside trying to ob tain seats for: the opening game of the world series, with the New York Giants here Saturday. Ten thousand people, it was estimated were fighting for places In ticket lines when the booths were opened in the morning. Title Bout Will Be Held - At Portland on Monday PORT L A N D, Oct. 1,- Bud Ridley and his manager, Joe Waterman, arrived here today to complete conditioning for "the" ten round match with Babe Herman at the armory next Monday night. The Seattle boy, who holds the Pacific coast featherweight cham ionshfp will be risking his title in the bout. . , Matchmaker Haansen is plan ning to put- on five or six round bouts to'complete the card. Three of them have already been aar ranged. They . are as follows: Jack Griffin vs Billy Kelly; Joe Stan gal' vs Peter Jackson: Ernie Woodard vs Scotty Ingster. XCRMI STILL GOING STRONG VIBORG, Finland. Oct. 1. Paavo Nurmi, the Olympic cham pion distance runner, today in a relay race against four men made what fs claimed to be a new world record for five miles. His time was 24 minutes 6 1-10 seconds. CYCLIST HANGS UP RECORD MONTLEHERY, France, Oct. 1. The Belgian bicyclist, Leon Van- derstuyft, today broke the world's one-hour motor paced record. He covered 107 kilometers, 710 me ters.

With Walter Johnson, .veteran ace of the Wash ington sharp shooting corps, as the outstanding figure, pitching may be the decisive factor in the 1924 world's series between the Senators and : the ; New York Giants. - , i . Until recent years twirling was usually the most potent factor in the diamond struggle, but with the, advent of the lively ball and the Babe Ruthian home run era. baseball strategy shifted. Pitch ing, of course, continued to figure largely, but it has been the speed and power of attack that decided the last three world championship battles. John McG raw won the premier baseball crown in both 1921 and 1922 from the Yankees with the effectiveness of his offensive. His hurling staff both years was rated inferior to the "five star" Yankee corps-.' Last year, it is true, the utter - collapse of the Giant moundsmen hastened the Yank victory but the mighty bats ot the Hugmen were the most potent Influence. Ball Is Different This year, however, with a less lively . ball, pitching may I come into its own Four" of the again. The "Big Washington staff,! Johnson, Zachary, Mogrldge and Marberry. put the club In front. although it was attacking power that kept it there in the final! drive. Supporters of the Senators,! figuring they have the edge on the Giants in the box, believa twirling will carry Washington's! first pennant winners to the high-1 est heights in the game, but Giant rooters are equally confident that Nehf, Bentley, McQuillan and Barnes will offer a potent rebuttal, 1 Whatever the merits of the rival twirling corps, however, in- terest will center in the achieve ments of Johnson, probably the only ball player of all time who rivals In popular esteem the f one er Giant marvel, Christy Mathew son. Johnson, a nubile idol, not only because of his brilliant play- lng record over an 18 year span, j but also because of his sterling qualities as a sportsman j will pitch the first game for the Sena- tors. Ontatd of tha. nrat i Mf.M of Giant partisans, fans through- bu t the country will root for him in unison that day. Even the tense rival stmeel for tPm ors will he lost in the all-vital question of what Johnson will do upon reaching the goal of his great career.
