. WHITE SOX ARE COMING FOR SET OF FOUR TILTS After Departure of Gleasonites the Nationals Will . Have Only Three Contests Here Until June 23—Milan’s Pitchers Must‘lmProve. F BY DENMAN capital for a sojourn of four THOMPSON. OLLOWING the final battle of the Yeries with the Tygers, scheduled to be finished some time tonight, the Chicago White Sox visit the days. Thereafter there will be no twilight base ball or any other of the major league brand at American - League Park until June 23, with the exception of two appearances for the Yankees and one for the Red Sox. After Kid Gleason departs with his white-hosed band next Tuesday | the Nationals will go to New York to share for two days in the augmented receip! e line-up. The following day, Friday, s expected at the Polé Grounds with Babe Ruth back in Huggins’ s an open date in the schedule. Sat- urday and Sunday will see the Bambino making a target of the right field wall at Georgia avenue. Then the Griffmen go to Boston for six games in three days, starting Memorial day, a prospect Zeb Milan must dread; stop off in Philadelphia for three days, return for a single ‘contest with the Red Sox June 4, and then hike w last week in the month. Snless a generaleand very great| ~improvement is effected in the local Ihurling corps, the trio of double- Zheaders in three days at Boston, com- ng shortly before the initial In-| Zvasion of the western sector of the| Zircuit, will play hob wlith .the lchances for attaining a_respectable position in the race.

This constitutes considerable of an improvement over the showing they made prior to the arrival of the ‘western contingents, but not enough to place them bevond range of the damp, musty odor of the cellar. Battle for the Basement. Whether the Griffmen climb up into the sunlight or become comnletely, ingulfed in the gloom of the base- ! ment will depend on the outcome of their four-game set with the White Sox starting tomorrow. Right now the Windy City outfit is occupying the unsought pogition. and from the egularity with which it has met Teverses since invading the east the Nationals must be accorded better than an even chance of keeping out of the last hole. Gleason's aggregation differs but little from that he guided last sea- son. The veterans, Sheely, Collins | and Johnson, still hold forth at first, second and third respectively. with Strunk and Hooper, also grown old jn the service, in the outfield. Mec- Clellan, after several years of utility service. seems to have beaten Mulli- £an out of the job at the far corner, and two youngsters, Falk and Mostil, have divided duty in the other out- field post.

NEW YORK, May 19.—Tris Speaker looks worrled. He is fighting as hard as ever, and. the greatest Inspira- _tional manager in the game mever gives evidence by word that he is) fearful over the outcome of the Amer- ican League race so far as his club is concerned, but his face ahows thag he is finding that care sets heavily on his shoulders after his eéxperlence of last season and the i1l luck that he has found in the east. “The whole thing is,”" =ald he, “that the eastern teams are not so weak they looked in comparison with th runaway start of the Yankées again: Washington, Boston and Philadel- phia. We haven't been having many breaks in our favor on this trip, but ‘when we get back home t. joys will fight their way up to the top and give the eastern crowd a battle they will not forget.” Both of the leading clubs in the ference in the games won and the tail-end clubs. That gives an idea of how -well matched major league races have been made for the present season. Go further and see how much the leaders and losers in the International resemble the majors in their winnings and losings. PLESTINA FAILS ON MAT.

As a result the Gibral- tar aggregation put up a sorry exhi- bition' and disappointed a sizable crowd of Virginians who had gath- ered to watch the 1921 District cham- pions perform.

EW YORK, May 19—Babe Ruth's presumable return to base hall N in this'city tomorrow has gone beyond the curiosity of the fan at large. It has become a craze on the partwf the New York hase ball public to be present when he plays his first game in the regular sea- son of 1922. . Before the offices of the New York club were opened Thursday morn- ing a quarter of a mile of would-be ticket purchasers, more than 2.000, cx- tended down the street, and it never abated until late in the aiternoon, Every box i the stadium was purchased before the tickets had barely been offered. There are only two reserved seat sections, and those were sold. The fans clamored for tickets of general admission to the stad um and to the bleachers. Babe Ruth souvenirs were sold and the owners of the Yanks were told to play him, no matter what the deci- sion might be from headquarters. A’l greater demonstration over one ball player probably never has been made than was shown in the advance rally for Ruth. The police officials are pre- paring to take care of larger crowds than ever saw a world series game in New York both tomorrow and Sunday, and with fayorable weather it is ex- pected the stands will be filled by 1 o'clock on both days. Anxious as to Reimstatement. Many a Manhattan heart is aquiver hour piles upon hour, stretchin; me toward the mystic midnight, when a sleepy-eyed messenger boy will amble out of the Yankee's busi- ness office with a message addressed to Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis, respectfully asking if Ruth and Bob Meusel, who was suspended with him, can be reinstated after their six-week exile and if everything is all right. From the moment the blue-clad boy leaves the office until another returns with a reply from Chicago saying, briefly, “Sure, go ahead,” New York fans will hold their hands over their mouths to keep their hearts from jumping out, Both the Bambino and Meusel are anxious to get back into the game. Ruth has been so sick of it all that he couldn’t st#nd—or sit—to see the Yankees ip a game without him and, by way of diversion, has spent a few afternoors at the Jamaica race track, Meusel, less sentimental, has spent the aftermoons in the giandsianu learning and suffering. The two have been practicing from 10:30 to 11:30 o'clock every morning at the Polo grounds before a worship- ful audience of white-coated pop and tobacco venders who cheer lustily and pocket the foul balls hit into the grandstand. A recruit pitcher and a crowd of ambitious fielders have gept up gyrating marathons out toward the fences, making the workout snappy. Give Atteation to Battin, Each morning the exiles began by playing ‘pass’—tossing the ball to/ each other. They then went in for a bit of chasing fungo flies. But the emphasis is on the batting—loosening their shoulder muscles and sharpen- ing their batting eves. The workout usually ended with a run. circuiting the 11€fd once or twice, finally wind- ing up in the clubhouse, the showers and a rubdown. In their last practice they appeared very businesslike. The pitchers whiz- zed over fast ones and lobbed over & mixture of curves, affording opportu- nities galore for making backs more supple. Ruth swung wide of &« num- ber, but he really didn’t like to see even a bad one go by haven't hit a g0od one all morning.” he shoutec to Meusel when he left the ficld noring several that he dumped s the far-away grandstand.
