Ruth Ready for New Drive to Slugging Record : California Favorite in Meet
,? : . i 1 , %
"EX-CAPTAIN" OF YANKS
FACES A TOUGH HANDICAP
Has Registered But One Homer With a Quarter of
EMPORARLLY extinguished, George Herman Ruth will bust right
back into the national pastime and make a fresh start in the handi
? cap race for home-run honors of the universe at the Georgia avenue
stadium this afternoon.
This two-hundred-odd pounds of bone and sinew, whose prowess in
wielding a forty-two-ounce base ball bat has earned for him an imposing
list of aliases, has lost one title, that of "captain," as a result of the dis
cipline imposed by Ban Johnson for that exhibition in New York Thurs
day, in addition to having some poor bookie's income reduced by a coupla
hunnerd rats in a fine that the league head's sentence carried with it.
Now Babe will bend his energies toward disproving the only monicker
which ever got a rise out of the usually good-natured giant, the one that
caused him to invade the grandstand at the Polo Grounds in pursuit of
the cowardly spectator who relied on the fact that he was one of a large
rrn?.'H tn esranp the conseauences of veiling "Big Bum."
eason Gone?Zachary, Goslin and Peck
Combine to Beat Hugmen, 3 to 1.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.
Ruth hrfi a most discouraging time
obstacle to hurdle in his quest lor a
n?w slugging' record. Seven weeks,
practically one-quarter of the season,
Rlready has slipped by and he has but
one homer, a single and a double to
show for his efforts with the flail in
the six games he has played, a bat
ting percentage of .136. At thi3 time
last season he had thirteen circuit
clouts to his credit. Opinion is al
most unanimous that he will not be
able to even approach his record of
last year, fifty-nine, but this was true
after he set up the previous high
mark of fifty-four, and even that of |
twenty-niae that he established the
season prior to that.
Kuth has accomplished so many
"impossible" feats with his bludgeon
that the speculatively inclined will do
well to consider carefully before
hocking the family flivver to wager
against him. and we have a well-de
fined hunch that those who bet he
could not overhaul Ken Williams, al
ready credited with a dozen marathon
hauls, will be troubled with numb
ness in. the lower extremities by the
fourth of July. x
Hose Thronfa Expected.
Anyway, weather of only a fair to
middlln' brand will be necessary to
assure throngs of near-record pro
portions out 7th street way this af
ternoon when the Bambino is due to
inaugurate another drive toward the
place in the sun he considers right
fully his, and the prospects that to
morrow they'll be turning 'em away.
In the swatting sultan's absence
yosterdav, the Nationals, with the
benefit of a tine display of flinging by
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary, a most
opportune bingle by Goose Goslin and
sersational shortstopping by R. Peck
inpaugh. took the measure of Bob
Shawkey and his fellow champions
in neat "fashion. 3 to 1. Zachary fully
merited a shut-out victory and would
have had it, except for a miscue by
Goslin, but the Sally Leaguer more
than made amends for the bobble
with his flail, while Peck attained
dizzy heights with his feats afield
after pulling one bum chuck which |
had no bearing on the outcome.
Nationals Off In Front.
Goslin was on the producing end of
tlie pair of tallies that put the Griff
man in front tit the outset. One
sjone. Rice beat out a bounder to
Scott over the midway. Judge walked
and Brewer arrived at first ahead
of Baker's toss of his swinging bunt,
filling the bases. Goose crashed the
ball pitched to center, scoring Rice
and Judge, and sending Brower to
third. On an attempted "squeeze,''
Gharrity's bunt went straight to
Shawkey, who tossed out Turkey at
the plate. Peck then forced Ghar
rltjr.
The Goose also was responsible for
the run registered by the Yanks in
the fourth, too. "With two gone.
Baker raised what should have been
an easv out to left field. Misjudging
the drive. Goslin hung back, then
dashed forward and got both hands
on the ball, but fumbled, and before
he could recover and heave to Peck,
Baker was on second, from where he
scored when Meusel swatted to left.
Singles by La Motte and Zachary,
with two down in the fourth, were
wasted when Harris lofted to Miller,
but a tally accrued to the Griffs in
the following frame when Shawkey
developed a streak of wildness. Rice
started with a single to left center
and was flagged by Fewster in try
ing to stretch it. Judge popped to
Pipp. but the corner were crowded
when Brower and Gharrity^received
free transportation, with a single by
Goslin sandwiched in, and four
straight balls to Peck fohced a run
over the plate. La Motte proved un
equal to a grand opportunity when
he succumbed on strikes.
Full Nifty Double PIay.
Following the fourth the Hugmen
were unable to register a safety off
Zachary until the eighth when a
nifty double play, started and fin
ished by Judge sunffed their rally.
Fewster led with a rap to left and
after Ward's death took third on a
single Miller poked through the po
sition vacated by Harris with the
hit-and-run sign displayed. Then
Baker hopped to Judge whose toss
to Peck forced Miller, and Baker was
doubled up when Rajah shot the ball
)>aok to Josephus. Great stuff!
It was in the ninth that Peckin
paugh set off the real pyrotechnics,
however. With Meusel disposed of,
Pipp singled to right and Scott
rammed what appeared to be a sure
fire safety close to the middle cush
ion. Peck skimmed over and soooped
it up with his gloved hand, stepped
i>n second to force Pipp and shot the
ball to Judge for the two-ply demise
i hat terminated the Joust.
Hubbell Is Improving.
PHILADELPHIA, May 27. ?A
. 7narked improvement is shown in the
} condition of Wilbur Hubbell, Phila
delphia National pitcher, whose skull
was fractured by a batted ball. His
condition is so grood that Mrs. Hub
bell was telegraphed that she need

ON THE SIDE LINES
Ray frasris is booked to face Mays
or Bush of the Tanks in the second
setto of the series today, starting at
3 o clock. The Coast league graduate
has won his last two starts, against
the Tygers and White Sox, by iden
tical scores. 3-2, and is confident he
i can chastise the chesty champions
Ruth or no Ruth.
. Approximately 12,000, more than
half that number cash customers
were, on hand for the Ladies* day num
ber and saw a fine scrap.
Sch??* got a gift single In the third
when Goslln and Rice let his fly fall
untouched between them. Either
could have caught It.
Shawkey was considerably peered
at La Motte when he "ran up on" one
of the Yank's deliveries In the fifth.
Shawkey voiced his resentment over
?eKJ^ht regard for his stuff that
Bobbie s action Implied and proceeded
to whiff him with three on.
Peck drew a roar of applause in the
seventh when he snitched Pipp's
hopper with one fin close to the kev
stone and flipped to Judge for the
put-out. The double play he Initi
ated in the ninth was an even more
meritorious bit of work, however.
Hog- probably feels sad to be pulling
these stunts against the gang piloted
by his old buddie, Miller Huggins."
Zach looked every bit as good yes
terday as he did on his last previous
appearance Sunday, when he limited
the White Sox to Ave scattered bln
gles and got an 8-1 verdict.
With Shank* battyed up again and
Bush still nursinggi Charley horse.
La Motte got Into Che picture once
more yesterday. Bob's fielding 1s
about all that could be desired.
The Nationals still are In seventh
place, but only a game and a half sep
arates them from third position

cago a 2-to-l decision.
The Philadelphia Athletics lost
another hard-luck game, 7-6, to Bos

part in Cleveland's defeat of Detroit,
8-3. Cobb's men being unable to hit

PRESIDENT NEAR VICTOR
IN SCRIBES' GOLF EVENT
FAILURE to get down in two putts on the eighteenth green yester
day in the first tournament of the Washington Newspaper Golf
Club cost President Harding a chance to win the E. B. McLean
trophy. The event was held over the course of the Washington Golf and
Country Club. The President's putter, given to him by Charles Evans, jr.,
about a y^ar ago, failed in the pinch, and he took four putts on the last
green to finish in fourth place.
Lewell Mellett of the Washington News, with a gross card of 91 and
a net of 67, won the McLean cup, leading the donor and Bryan Morse of
the Washington Times, who were tied for second place, by one stroke.
President Harding was two strokes behind the winner, with a gross 91
and net 69.

FINAL SCHOLASTIC STANDING.

Western , 3 3 .7T?0
Business '1 2 .r?00
Central 2 1 .500
Ka?tern . . 2 .500
Tech 1 3 .2~A)
Western's team sat in Central sta
dium yesterday and saw Itself estab
lished as 1922 high school base ball
champion when Central's nine played
as it should have all season and de
feated Business, 6 to 2, in twelve
innings. Western was leading the
league with three wins and one de
feat prior to the contest, but a Busi
ness victory would have given the
latter team a tie at the top with the
boys from Georgetown.
The fray, hotly contested, was the
most notable of the annual series in
two things. It was the first extra
inning engagement of the champion
ship tourney, and the first in which a
player knocked a home run over the
Florida avenue wall.
This particular homer, made by Con
nor in the ninth inning, was respon
sible for the overtime play. Edelin,
Central pitcher, had been particular
ly effective with runners on the
bases?and Business several times in
the early innings had a couple of
boys blocking the paths?while his
mates were accumulating a pair of
tallies off Haas, and with one on and
one out in the ninth Business pros
pects were not so bright. But Con
nor stepped into the second ball
pitched to him and lofted it over the
wall, scoring Donovan ahead. On a
regular field it would have been an
easy out, for Williams was right at
the barrier to make the catch.
Then Business threatened seriously,
but Edelin proved master of the situ
ation. In the tenth the Stenographers
had two runners on bases and none
out and in the next session got a man
to third with two down. After the
eighth Central was easy for Haas
until the twelfth. Then Hall drove
over the wall for the circuit and Chil
dress hit a four-base blow to left
field. Each drive counted a runner
ahead.
Error* helped Centra! score its
early tallies. In the second inning
Hall clouted to left for three bases
and continued home when Donovan
manhandled a relay throw. Edelin

got to second on an error in the
eighth and was hit home.
Business outliit the Centralites.
twelve safeties to nine, but had
eleven runners left on the bases.
Every member of the Stenographers
except Shortstop Clark got one or
more swats. Simpson led the list
with four singles in six times up.
Haas, regular first sacker, was shift
ed to the mound and twirled good
ball against Central until the fatal
twelfth.
' Tech** team left this morning for
Emmitsburg, Md., where it was to
meet Mount St. Mary's this afternoon.
The Manual Trainers expected to send
Houser against the Mountaineers. He
pitched well against them when Tech
beat that team here last week.
Central's crew fit at Philadelphia
today to take part in the annual
American Henley Regatta on the
Schuylkill. The Blue and White oars
men last year won the scholastic
race at this meet.
Track and field athletes of four
high schools are competing in Cen
tral stadium this atternoon in the an
nual scholastic championships. Fif
teen events were on the program.
DUNBAR ATHLETES LEAD
IN SCHOOL TRACK MEET
Dunbar athletes, scoring forty-five
points, won the annua! championship
track and field meet of the Washington
colored high schools. Shaw Junior High
finished second with nineteen points,
while Armstrong Manual Training was
third with seventeen. The victory gave
Dunbar High School the Maj. Walter
Loving trophy for the next year.
Charles Drew of Dunbar was high
point scorer, with wins in the shot-put,
high jump and broad jump. Richardson
of Shaw won the 100 and 220 yard
s*prints, and brought his team in ahead
in the championship relay.
