Marberry threw tho ball Traynor hit it. McNeely caught It and the third game of world series Into history undying with the Wa.shlngton Ben- utfvs scoring a 4 to 3 decision over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Drama, stark and unadorned, rode with that pitch, probably tho biggest money ball in any since Snodgrass dropped that famous fly hall In 1912. Tho ba.ses were filled Washington was exactly one run to tho goofl when Traynor, probably tho most hitler In the Pirate outfit, stepped Into the picture.

A great ball game was over, but a celebration had only begun.

It wa.s almost as spontaneous as famous demonstration that took place ou the same field last year when Washington won flm title from the Giants. Stanley Harris rushed in from liase and leaped bodily upon Marberry. A park policeman shook hands energetically but rather Inappruprlutely with tho hero's elbow; wild-eyed fans tumbled over each other into the dugout trying to be the man who had just achieved near miracle. Even PresUlcnt Coolldge. the most famous of all fans, waited near the dressing room to offer official congratulations to Marberry, to Harris ami to every inan with the ball club, down to tho bat boy.

Great Diamond Battle. All Washington went slightly Insane and not without reason. Mur- performance was only the climax of the plot. Preceding it were incidents of almost moment, figurative heroines being tossed off figurative cliffs with great rapidity. It was a very spacious occasion from first lo last.
