BY DENMAN ‘W yester THOMPSON. ASHINGTON fans will have to wait until tomerrow, at least, for their first glimpse of Babe Ruth in action this season as a result of a fit of peevishness he indulged in 3t the Polo Grounds when the Yankees upsct the Nationals, 6-4, without any ma- terial aid from the temperamental Tarzan. Local bugs, denied the privi- lege of seein the Bambino make targets of the fences on the previous visits here of the Hugmen because he was under suspension for willful violation of base ball rules last fall, were all set to alternately boo and cheer him at the Georgia avenue inclosure today, tomorfow and Sunday. Record-breaking sales of reservations for the three days indicated the extent of interest in the event. The New Yorkers will be on hand, as per |3 schedule, but the mightiest mauler of them has been given an enforced vacation to coq)tata aver the advantages of self-restraint and the worth of diseipline. be for one day only, in which case Sunday. Ruth's latest exhibition of contempt for vested autherity and disdain for the rules of law and order is exr pected set him back several precious days in his chase after & new home run record, in addition to the more than five weeks lost.at the start of the campaign, and cost his owners a goodly sum in redyced pa- tronage as well as disappeint thau- sands of sensation-secking followers of the game. < The Bambino's flar the third round of the final s the metropolis yesterday when he singled to center and died trying to stretch it on Rice’s heave te Harris Ruth showered Umpa - Hildebrand with a handful of dirt and promptly ‘was ordered out of the game. Boaed as he left the fleld while the arb was digging sand out of his ears and shaking dust out of his halr, Ruth epotted an abusive spectator and climbed into the stand after him. As Babe went over the tep the Joquacious fan fled. It was-through no fault of Ruth's that a battle royal failed to develon, for as he marched toward the club- house to a roar of jeers he stopped and invited the entire right field sec- tion of the grandstand to cpme onto “the fleld apd have it out with no holds barred.

Phillips was unable to get them over for Witt and flelded Ward's bunt too late to flag him. The pair of them advanced on Ruth's emcrificial tap to Shanks and tallied when Baker pounded a single to center. Meusel rapped into a double play started by Phillips.

A stormy scene was staged in' the seventh when the Yankees threatened Brillheart, who succeeded Pieillips wi the latter was withdrawn by Milan, who gssayed unsuccessfully to pinchhit for him.

Nallin's ver: dict of “out” brought Yankee regulars and reservists alike to the spet, whera the ump was forced to listen to & lot of indignant chatter, with Huggins and Fewster setting the pace in both jaw- ing and gesticulating—to no avail, of course. The Yanks got another run in the| eighth when Meusel put on a second exhibition of marathon mauling. This blow was a terrific liner that jus cleared the railing in front of "the bleachers. Aside from boosting the Californian’s slugging average and giv- ing the bugs a chance to cheer, it had no direct bearing on the outcome of the ! contest, for the Griffs proved unequal to the task of upsetting Hoyt in the last three- frames, although they al- ways looked dangerous.
