100,000 FANS GO MAD AS RUEL SCORES

Time may erase the Solemn pages of history, fleeting ages may sink nations into the dust of forgotten pasts. But nothing will ever dim the memory of that wondrous hour when Washington won the world baseball championship.

Washington's stout hearted gladiators rose freom the forlorn ruins of crumbling hopes and crushed the mighty Giants in the twelfth inning of the greatest contest in the history of the game.

The whole city went mad , in the aromatic ecstacy of a delirious frenzy,  and even refused to be quieted through the long hours of thenight. ...a night of delirious revelry, a veritable orgie of joy, a celebration that was spontaneous, tumultous, overwhelming.

Hour after hour throbbing thousands marched and rode up and down Pennsylvania Avenue; and that old thoroughfare, long accustomed tom the tinseled dignity of military panoply, laughed and rocked to sounds and noises that were as strange as they were joyous toits ears. Restraint was left at home, and it was the happiest-go-luckiest mob that ever howled itself ragged.
