38,000 FANS TO SEE FIRST SERIES GAME, IS PREDICTION By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. Washington waited 50 years for an American League pennant and shook to death for three days before a world's series, but her big day arrived. Under a blanket of haze and fog that has all the looks and feel of London, the city awoke today and crouched for the running crash to the ball park where their Washington Senators and the New York Giants meet in the first game of the world series.

Fang didn't like the weather and they feared rain but they didn't complain. A better Walter Johnson day could not have been ordered. "The big train will throw his fast one right by 'em today," the bugs jubilated. It was not until this morning when Commissioner Landis, the big boss of baseball, repeated for the steenth time that the series was on and that Ban Johnson could not stop the show even with a bunch of marines, that Washington became satisfied that it wasn't to lose what the city had waited a lifetime for. "I'll be at the ball park in time to see the boys warm up and I know that I won't be alone.

The series is on and its going to be a good one," Landis said this morning. (Continued on Page Four) CELEBRATING ST.

MANY SUFFERED THROUGH FLOOD IN THIS CITY Conditions in the northern section of Mount Carmel, bordering the mokin creek, are returning to normalcy, residents are beginning to peep outside of the doors of their dwellings, and work has been started to repair and clean the devastated area, sur. rounding their homes, that was affected by the recent heavy rains.

Thousadns of dollars of damage was caused by the storm. Practically every home, built in the vicinity of the course of the Sha-' mokin creek, was affected in some way or other by the rains. Cellars were flooded, the depth of the water, in a few cases, reaching six feet, according to statements made by people in that neighborhood. In the majority of homes, the water has been bailed out by means of household receptacles, but two or three inches of the water still remain intact in the cellars. The lower basements of the homes are damp and are unfit to store anything of value.

Many of the residents had just finished preserving various jellies, which were stowed away in the cellars of the homes. In many instances, the work of many days was wasted when the water poured into the cellars and ruined large quantities of the preserves. Many other household effects were partially destroyed in the deluge of water. Some of the rain water still lies stagnant in the cellars and entry ways of the dwellings. Dampness prevails, which may ultimately result in illness.

It will be many days before the water is entirely removed from the homes and buildings. Residents, who were accustomed to sleeping in the lower floors of the homes, have been forced to vacate and enjoy their nightly slumbers in the top floors of the A few of the families have vacated the premises entirely and have gone to live with relatives until the damage the storm caused, has been repaired. Carpets, rugs and furniture were a total loss when they became water-soaked. A number of grocery stores, lorated on the lower extremity of north Oak street, suffered a loss when the water flowed into the business places and affected the produce. The sun is a welcome visitor to the people along the creek.

One double dwelling on Water street, and located possibly only ten feet away from the creek bed, was stranded like a lonely island in the unfrequented parts of the Pacifie Ocean during the recent storm. Despite the small levees, the inhabitants of the building erected on their own resources, the raging torrent of water surmounted the small protection the embankment afforded. and flooded the home. The occupants were unable to leave their residence from the front. They were finally forced to crawl out small windows in the rear ef the home, in order to communicate with the outside world.

Inhabitants of the building stated that huge logs passed tehir home carried in the wake of the swift current and in one instance, the same person positively stated that he saw a large pig floating down the creek. At another time two young dead pigs went by. After the storm subsided, logs, ashes, mud, tin cans, and hundreds of discarded miscellaneous articles were I deposited in the cellars of the homes and along the ground bordering the creek. A band of workmen were engaged in excavating the ground on north Oak street yesterday afternoon said that they were digging out the ground to lay a section of sewer pipes in order to afford better drainage the creek reach such dangerous proportions as during the recent flood in that section.

Its head was pressed against the bleacher gates, its tail gathering fang like a vaccum cleaner sucking them from every street, and street car, from flivvers and a hundred fancier vehicles, drawing them with the irresistible lure of Washington's Aret world's series. The present series may set no new recerds for baseball, but those for enthusiastic fandom already are shattered beyend repair.

They came from every quarter the city and from every corner of the land, these dyed-in-the-wool fans, waiting for the bleacher gates to open. By 8 there was 30,000 of them -an hour before the centerdeld bleachers were to receive them in the frat frantic rush. It was a colortul throng. At least every third one in line was colored. The Arst man in line -he had been there since 12:30 p.

Friday--was Charles W. Bell, an employe of the Veterans Bureau here. Poking al blue nese from out his turned up coat cellar, he picked the Nationals (as they insist in calling the Senators down here) to win. To Fort Wayne, went the homer of supplying the second man, F. Morstman.

He, too was for Washington. Then came three from Charleston. C. Byers, J. J.

Fraine and John Jennings. And they, too, were for Washingten. On seap bexes and camp steols, with improvised entertained and nondescript nourishment, these hardier of the enthusiasts saw it through. Behind them gathered innumerable ethers. The line grew.

Like a living pent, each vertebra a fan-red hot inside and darned cold outside it weund down one street, around a corner and up another. By the time it had meandered half a dozen blacks in this fashion, with the last man almost as far away from the gates as though he never had started. someone bethougnt himself to start anothor line.
