Ruth in Big Set Here, Despite Injury: U. S. Women Battle for Wimbledon Title
TORN FINGER FAILS
TO KEEP BABE IDEE
Game Star Sticks in Yank
Line-up—Griff Pitchers
Ready for Series.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
THIS big series between Na
tionals and Yankees, due to
start with a double-header
this afternoon, will have in
it about the gamest and most
gritty player in base ball. Babe
Ruth will be in the New York
line-up. according to information
from the Shawkey camp, despite
the loss of a fingernail from his
left hand only last Wednesday.
The Babe showed his gameness
and grit by playing through the
content yesterday in Philadelphia
and he'll be in there again today
with an injury that would have
forced many another out of ac
tion.
Ruth likes base ball, and although
the outstanding player in the game to
day he is one of the greatest team
players in the profession. He’s a fighter,
too. It takes an extraordinary hurt to
make him retire when is club is not
going anywhere in particular. With
the Yanks in the race as they are now,
though, it seems nothing short of the
loss of an arm or leg would keep the
Babe out of the line-up.
Right after he was injured when his
throwing hand was caught in the wire I
screen before the right-field bleachers
In Yankee Stadium as he endeavored
to make a catch, it was announced
Ruth probably would be out of play for
a week. And in Philadelphia yesterday
he did not participate in the pre-game
practice. But when game time arrived
there was the Babe, with finger thickly
bandaged, ready for battle.
Even though every time he handled
the ball and every time he gripped the
bat the pain shooting from finger end
up his left arm must have been Intense,
the Babe stuck to his task to the finish.
He's that way, is Ruth.
TAKING second place from the Na
tionals in the current series of four
games will not be done easily by the
Yankees, if it is done at all. To leave
here Sunday night in the runner-up
post the New Yorkers would have to
bag three of the contests. That’s no
light affair, the way the Nationals have
been stepping out recently.
The Washington pitchers are well pre
pared for the big business ahead.
Manager Johnson has announced he
would employ Fred Marberry and Sam
Jones this afternoon in the bargain
matinee. Tomorrow he is apt to start
Lloyd Brown or Bump Hadley against
the Yanks. Even though Bump pitched
10 innings as late as Wednesday, it is
believed he could come back strongly
with only two days’ rest. The Sunday
pitching very likely will be done by A1
Crowder. As A1 has pitched since don
ning a Washington uniform he should
be able to give the hard-hitting New
Yorkers a troublesome afternoon.
Manager Johnson regards this
series with the Yankees as all
important. “If we trim this New
York club here I believe we will carry
on a great fight to the finish.” he de
clared this morning. "Trimming the
Yanks would add greatly to the confi
dence of our club, and that would not
hurt at all. I know these Yankees have
a lot of power. They hit savagely. But
I think we have the better pitching and
look to our pitchers to stop much of
that hard hitting. It ought to be a
great series and we are going into it
with the feeling that we are the better
club and can take the Yanks.”
HARLEY BOSS, young flirst-sacker,
has been sent to Reading in the
International League on a 24-hour
option.

Failure of Champion Printers
Puzzle to Sandlot Dopesters
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.
ONE of the most puzzling cases
on the sandlot* is the failure
-of the Union Printers, last
year’s champs of the Govern
ment League and National Typo title
holders, to click In their customary
style.
The Printers, though always known
as slow starters, have confounded the
so-called experts by their complete in- |
ability to win consistently and. though
the second half of the Government |
League is still in its infancy, it appears !
that the Typos will have to fight dou- I
bly hard to reach the top, for two of
their mainstays, Tuck Dalglish, third
baseman, and Jimmy Dewhurst, hard
hitting outfielder, are on the injured
list and may not be available for some
time to come.
Dalglish, though never a dangerous
hitter, was a tower of strength on the
defense. Tuck Is nursing an infected
foot, while Dewhurst. who has done
much of the little hitting displayed by
the Typos so far, is out with a badly
wrenched knee, which he suffered last
week while sliding into third base In the
G. P. O. game.
The Printers, who boast of the small
est squad of any of the week-day teams,
will be up against It, as McPherson Is
the only utility player that could fill
In outside of the pitchers and Manager
Ed Lowery and Heinie Webb.
McPherson, however. Is not noted for
his ability to play the Infield, so it
appears that the Typos will have to
step along right lively now to keep In
the race.
If the bat of Mai Simons, which
has been more or less dormant thus far ;
this season, would come to life and
bang ’em out in the customary man
ner the Printers might yet merge from
this slump and have something to say j
about where the second-half pennant;
Is going.
Simons, in fact, is only one of the
regulars who have failed to produce
the necessary punch. Charley Hol
brook, another hard-hitting outfielder,
has failed to hit his stride, as has Dee
per, Edwards and Waple. The Printers,
a* a team, finished last among the
Government League teams In batting,
which is no way for the defending
champs to act.
So unless the Typo* make a change
for the better it is extremely likely
that they will have little voice in de- I
eidlng the winner of the second-half I
championship.
From the West Washington Baptist
standpoint, the first half of the George
town Church League is over and the
championship crown rest* upon the
collective brows of the Baptist*.
From Grace Episcopal’* view, how
ever. there is much to be said yet re
garding the title. Grace carried out
it* threat to be absent yesterday when
the final game of the play-off series
was to be played a* five of its nine
1 regulars are out of town for the Fourth.
West Washington appeared on the
field and claimed the only shut-out
■ victory of the league, declaring Itself
the winner by the forfeit *core of 9
to 0.
To some Sunday School League fans
it's all over, but to others it just means
that all the fireworks won’t be shot oft
today. The rest, they say, will splutter
when all of the Gracemen return.
It's bad business to let all of the
catchers on a ball club go on their va
cation at the same time. The Big Print
Shop found that out yesterday when
Western Electric pasted the Printers all
over the lot to hang up a 17-to-4 vic
tory.

Both Simp*on and Zip Tweedale, the

a result Dave Crockett, Gimp Shipman,
Davis and Stumpy Parker took turns
with the mask and mitt on.
Crockett, regular shortstop, proved
himself quite versatile when he pitched,
played first base, center field, third base
and caught.
But all the shifting in the world
couldn’t win the game for Judd &
Detweiler, for a little pitcher, Lester
Robey, throwing a curve almost con

Giants Are Only Eastern Club 1

t
i
BY HUGH 9. FULLERTON. JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer.
THE balance of power in Intersec
tional play, with a few notable
exceptions, has been regularly
with the home clubs of the Na
tional League.
In the recent tour of the Eastern
clubs through the West, the visitors
could win only 23 games, while the
Westerners captured 32. On the other
hand, when the East’s representatives
were playing at home, they gained 33
decisions to 18 for the invaders. The ]
results for the complete intersectional j
round favored the East to the extent j
of 56 victories in 106 games.
The champion Chicago Cubs, fighting ■
their wav to the league lead, made, the
best showing in every way. They cap
tured 8 out of 11 games away, then
swept through the invading ranks in
! their home stand to the tune of 11
I victories in 15 games. However, the;
I Cubs had to be content with second
place as they prepared to play around
I their home section, opening at Pitts
j burgh today, for the Brooklyn Robins j
held their own in the West, winning
six games and losing seven, and re
gained the top by a half of a percent
age point.
Giants Do Best.
The New York Giants, the up-and
coming club of the circuit, were the
only Easterners to get more than an
even break in the Western tour, win- .
j ning eight games and losing seven, but
the Boston Braves came very close to
it. due to their final series in Pitts
burgh, which closed yesterday. The i

on those long holes. No fewer than
five eagles have fallen to the lot of the I
competitors, while two holes in one
grace the board In which the results
are spread.
While the first hole, which is more
than 500 yard* long, has failed to yield
a single eagle 3, the lengthy tenth has
provided three eagle 4s. These have
fallen to John E. McClure, Clarence B.
Murphy and R. Lester Rose.
Aces have been scored by O. M.
I Hester on the ninth hole, and on the
I eighteenth by McClure, while M. Parker
Nolan, the seige-gun hitter of the club,
banged one of his long tee shots so
close to the cup at. the eighteenth that
he canned the putt for an eagle 2.
Scattered through the cards are great
numbers of birdies, with nearly every
contestant having acored a bird 3 on
i the eighteenth.
