KING BASEBALL HOLDS SWAY
King Baseball rules America today.
The spheriod has subjects iu the for
ty-nine States. His power extends to
Hawaii and even to “Seward’s Folly,”
where a Ritchie, Hawkins, Hoben, Ur
bach and welcome visitors like Jack
Coffey, Joe Meherin and other celeb
rities flock to the Gateway office
with the repetition of “what’s the
score?”
Court matters were rorgotten tem
porarily; housewives anxiously await
ed the overdue delivery boys, and Old
Sol himself, stood stationary until
Burr Snyder flashed the news that
“Pittsburgh Wins World Series.”
This same sun failed to shine with
its usual brightness on Forber Field,
where countless thousands flocked to
the turn-stile. All night long
men and boys, and even women stood
in line; the hot-dog vendors and coffee
men reaped a harvest. Bankers, bro
il kess and financial wizards rub
bed elbows and joked with their
, “newsies”; steel magnates enjoyed
the conversation of hard-handed son
;.< of manufacture; the “cloth” and law
* yer pushed and shoved and elbowred
5 their way into the bleachers and
gandstand to see the veteran Aldridge
pitch the Pirates to victory and the
coveted flag.
The “Diplomatic” special from
Washington arrived early in the
morning. Lawmakers, cabinet mem
bers, secretaries, clerks and even un
to the left-handed .sleuth represent
l ing. Volstead, men from the nation’s
capitol surged into the “Smoky City”
to lend their support to their idol, the
dauntless Walter Johnson.
Pittsburgh has suspended business
....
L
3day. Not a banking house was
pen after 12 M. Hotel lobbies were
eserted and the “Red Holben’s”
anked their fires while the telephone
iris laxidasiously chewed gum and
lirted with the head bell hop.
And while all of this was going
m ill Pittsburgh,' men, women and
children thruout the nation were sit
ing on the seat of anxiety.
Fans from the rock-ribbed' 'New
England coast to the newly rich Flo
ida; from the Effete East to the un
rammelled west called at their
‘Gateways” and again repeated:
‘What’s the score?”
This became an echo and today,
he Gateway really was forced to
?ject Bernie St<fne, Joe Badger, Cal M.
Brosius and other ardent exponents
)f the national game front the office.
And baseball is the national game;
:his is admitted even by the five-card
enthusiasts who have long contend
ed that Poker should have the pref
erence.
There are poker players and base
ball players, but today in Pittsburgh
aid Honus Wagner, king of ’em all,
was given an ovation that will go
down in history.
Governor Pinchot, the Senators and
other dignitaries representing the
Keystone state were given ovations
as they entered the grand stand. Na
tional characters were duly recog
nized, manager, players were given
their just deserts but when the
“Grand Old Mtfn” of baseball awk
wardly strutted into the arena that
he had materially helped to make fa
mous the grandstand and bleacher
alike arose in unison to pay homeage
to the great and only Honus Wagner.
This burst of enthusiasm reached
even to the historic Fort Duquesne;
Carnegie Institute and the monster
steel mills took up the cry and the
beautiful valley watered by the Ohio
sent back the echo.

GERMANY'S OIL PRODUCTION
ONLY 0.05 PER CENT OF NEED
NUERNBERG, Oct. 15. (^—Ger
many’s share in the world’s produc
tion of oil is but 0.05 per cent, which
barely covers five per cent of the
country’s requirements, said Prof. F.
Schondorf before the German Society
of Chemists.
After Germany lost its oil \yeUs in
Alsace-Lorraine, with her annual
yield of 70,000 tons, the wells of
Wieze, in Hanover, turned out to be
of greatest promise. For the first
time existing derricks were replaced
by a regular pit having a depth of
825 feet. With a single pit ; ,/hese
wells now turn out the same ptoduc
tion as with 600 derricks formerly,
and far. surpass the Alsatian output
otf pre-war days. * *
-,
It makes a difference these * days,
when a man says good morning for
good night.
