Babe Ruth Here Tomorrow?Dodgers Make Record?Aviators Starring LOOKING EM OVER BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER Girls Will Greet Babe Ruth Battering Uabe Kuth, the Yankee Beb?raoth, will be the attraction at the old ball yard on Georgia avenue tomorrow and the girla enjoying the courtesies of the Washington club, will be right on hand to watch him pole 'em over that right field fence. Yep, tomorrow's Ladies' Day at the ball park, so the fair sex may be expected to be there in large numbers, especially with Babe Ruth, king of the home run cloutors, per forming In the garden for the visiting club. Ruth has already started on his home run campaign of 1920. As soon as he gets his eye thoroughly cleared out, the present record of twenty-nine is likely to be smashed. He has a lot of games yet to be played at the Po'o Grounds with its short right field stand and then, too, Ruth has never shown any hitting weaknesses in Boston, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Washington, Philadelphia or Cleveland. He has col lected his homers everywhere, no watch out for him tomorow. The Tanked arc bringing to Willi- | ????? tngton pretty much the earn, team ??cn here l*at year.

With vesterday's victory. 11 to 6, the lirlffmen have evened the count, so that today's clash will be the rubber. Walter Johnson may be sent out to elnrh things for the Orlffs, but this is no certainty. The Orlffs staged a couple of uprls Itifc* yesterday instead of one, though they pot in their usual rebellion in the eighth. They're getting to be regular Sinn Feiners in the eighth every day. But their big show came right in the opening frame, when they drove Pat Martin, the southpaw from P.inghamton. to the slab, and cuffed Hasty right roughly before the side was retired. | Seven Rons Koll Over. Mr. Martin looked like a Monument .'1 round* performer in that first. He didn't belong In this league, none whatever. Free passes to Judge and j{i,th, with solid smites by Milan, Rice, .mil Stanley Harris, ended Mr. Mar ? stay in the pastime. Mr. Hasty ?succeeded him. ^ Somebody said up In New > ork tpe rlher day that Hasty resembled Wal ter Johnson. Yes. he pitches with his right arm. wears a glove on his left hand and has two ears, two eyes, etc. Slight there ends the resemblance, ife got his medicine Immediately and ,;t<l not return for the second frame. Jimmy O'Neill saluted the gangling Hasty with a double to left. Maurice misjudged a third strike and retired to-the bench, but Plclnich bounced a hot one off Haaty's glove, and Court ney slammed a double to left center. The Washington aouthpaw tried for third and perished, a victim of Tilly Walker's wonderful wing. Seven runs had been counted up by the studious and shivering gentle men in the post box- s- even large, juiev runs. The game seemed over. But it wasn't, not yet. A'a Slaughter Co?rtner A pass to Bykes in the first had be come u run on Burns' single to left, nut in the second the A s slaughtered Courtney, driving him to the showers to let Catsup Snyder toil for the re mainder of the contest. With two down, Styles, tip for llaf vy. walked, and so did T>ykes, filling ?he bases. Strunk doubled to right ajid Walker beat out an intield hit. i'aased ball scored Strunk and Court icy passed Burns before ho could be Yanked to let Snyder perform. Du jran beat out a slow one to Shannon, but Burns was plucked oft second by Ticinieh. ending the attack. Four rtins were in, and the A's were but iwo behind. 1 Heforo Rommcll could get fairly started, the Urlffs had scored a coti vle in the second on a walk to Roth. hit batsman, and O'Neill's healthy, triple. Not till the bombardment in ihe eighth did the home boys get any Bnore runs. ? Stage Tmial Uprising. The fans were howling for the us ,fal uprising In the eighth, and, sure .?nough. along it came, though Rom juell had been doing well after the t?cond. Dykes' wild throw put Picinich on second Snvder perished, but Judge j-ingled to left. Milan banged a hot ,*tie off Oriffin's glove, only to be j orced by Rice. Then Roth banged nother hot one off firiffin'rf fins, scoring Judge with the second run ,-f the frame. Harris raised a forty lly for George Burns, and the end was i.t hand. .

Robby Roth walked the first four times he appealed at the plate and hit safely the last time, making a clean slate for the day. Stanley Harris celebrated his pro motion in the batting order by wal loping a single to center In the first, driving over two runs. ?limmy O'Neill, with a double and a ir pie in three times tip, was the slugging demon of the day for the (?riffs.

NAVY CANNOT MAKE ANY CLAIM TO CREW HONORS By HUGH R. RILEY. ANNAPOLIS, May 4.?Instead of a crew somewhat below the standard of Naval Academy crews in recent years, as had been t reported, it is evident that Dick Glendon, the veteran Academy coach, who is handling aquatics at Annapolis for the eighteenth conseceutive season, has as good a crew as he has ever had at this time of the year, and one which has a reasonable chance of duplicating its performance of last year, when it won the acknowledged supremacy among the rowing ?colleges of the East. Kven should the midshipmen win all their local races and crown their season with a clean-up at the Amer ican Henley on May 2D, their title may not be so clear a3 last year, however, as they do not meet Yale and Cornell. Should either or both of these crews remain undefeated, the Navy may not be able to claim an undisputed title. Every effort was made to bring Yale to Annapolis, and it was thought that the race had been arranged, but Yale declined to make the trip. A very interesting thing abotit the Nary varsity crew this year is the evenness of its oarsmen a? to weight and height. The average weight of the crew is 177% pounds, the heaviest man, King, weighing but 1*2 pounds, while the lightest, Jacomini, at bow, weighs 174. The tallest men on the crew art Jordan, No. 3, and Sanborn, No. 4, each being six feet and two Inches, while the shortest are Henard, No. 2; Graves, stroke, and Weidman, No. 7, each of whom is an even six feet. It is doubtful if any college crew In the history of rowing was better balanced n.-! to weight, height and general build. A recent change, the transfer of Captain Graves, from No. 4 to stroke, in placo of Clyde King, who goes to Craves' old place, puts additional weight in the body of the boat, where it belongs. The crew ns a whole is moving In splendid rhythm, to which their simi larity of build contributes greatly. Upon the whole. Clendon undoubtedly has one of the best crews he has ever developed. Henrler Than First Crew. The second and plebe, or freshmen, crews are slightly heavier than the varsity, and not made up quite so evenly. Both have already shown their mettle by the defeat of the Harvard crews in their cla.^s. Of interest in connection with the showing of the plebe crew is the fact that it was largely coached by young Dick Olendon, son of the head coach at the academy, who is now assisting his father. That lie is likely to follow in the success of the elder Clendon is shown by the tine race which they rowed a week ago Saturday. Next Saturday. May 8, Columbia will row here with varsity, second and freshmen crews, and Syracuse will bring its varsity and freshmen to An napolis on May 1,1. This will end the local racing sea son and give two weeks for special preparation for the American Henley, at Philadelphia, on May 29, in which the Naval Academy wili be represent ed by varsity, second, plebe or fresh men and 150-pound crews.
