They were benui il'ul games per haps the most interesting and hotly- contested ever played in a world st les. iot one oi me games was a cinch. The ITEM gave Mount Carmel people the best bulletin service that our town ever had in a world series. Immense crowds gathered for the five days in front of the office, and as the Item staff men received the dispatches and they were called out by the melodious-voiced Special Olticer Joe Dropesky. there were alternately groans and cheers as news came thai pleased or displeased the audience.

This paper gave the of Cen- traln. Anstes, K.ulpmont, Marion Heights, ociiHtiGap and all the other nearby towns a service better than they ever had' before, and infinitely better than that given by the newspapers of Shamokin or anv oilier nearby town. Our peper, o.ily about half an hour later than usual schedule, reached them with complete accounts of (he game. The Item gave the details of every inning down to and including the last. Contrast this with the papers of Shamokin, which served nearby towns with only five innings, The real merit of the wonderful United Press service was never better demonstrated than in the handling of this series.

"People who went to business this morning amid a spectacle of shattered window fronts" said the Globe, "may be forgiven if they wonder how long this sort of thing will be allowed to go without effective measures to check it."
