Yanks Beat Griffs, 6 to 4. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. ASHINGTON fans will have to wait until tomorrow, at least, \W for their first glimpse of Babe Ruth in action this season as a result of a fit of peevishness he indulged in it the Polo Grounds yesterday when the Yankees upset the Nationals, 6-4, without any ma- terial aid from the temperamental Tarzan. Local bugs, denied the privi- lege of seeing the Bambino make targets of the fences an the previous visits here of the Hugmen because he was under suspension for willful* violation of bage ball rules last fall, were all set to alternately boo and cheer him at the Georgia avenue inclosure today, lomur!ow.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 schedule, but the mightiest mauler of them has been given an enforced vacation to cogitate over the advantages of sel&rcstra!m and the worth of diseipline. Dispatches from Chicago indicate Ruth’s suspension will be for one day only, in which case he will perform here tomorrow and Sunday. Ruth’s latest exhibition of contempt for vested authority and disdain for the rules of law and order ex- pected to set him back several precious days in his chase after a new heme 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 reduyced pa- tronage as well as disappeint thou- sands of sensation-seeking followers of the game. . The Bambino's fla the third round of final setto In the metropolis yesterday when he singled to center and died trying to stretch it on Rice's heave to Harris. Ruth showered Umpa = Hildebrand with a handful of dirt and promptly ‘was ordered out of the game. Booed " as he left the fleld while the arbiter was digging sand out of his ears and shaking dust out of his halr, Ruth epotied an abusive spectator an@ climbed into the stand after him. As ‘Babe went over the top the loquacious fan fled. It was-through no fault of Ruth’s that a battle royal failed to develop, 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 and have it out with no holds barred. Tom Phillips failed decisively in his attempt to match pitehing wares with Waite Hoyt and from the showing made by Brillhears in the I frames the youthful portsider way have fared no better. yielded a total of eleven safeties. including a pair of homers by Boh Meusel and a double by Scott, while half a dozen bingles was the sum total of the Nationals’ attack, .lthough but a Pair of them were required for all the Griffithian runs, the two in question being the circuit clouts by Rice and Judge. Rice Leads With Hpmer. Rice got the Griffs off in front by helting_a liner to left center and completing the circuit before Wit} and Scott could get the ball back te the infleld, but the Hugmen went them one better in their half of the opener. Phillips was unable to et them over for Witt and flelded Ward's hunt too late to flag him. The pair of them advanced on Ruth's sacrificial tap to Shanks and tallied when Baker pounded a single to center. Meusel rapped into a double play started by Phillips. Phillips eased through the next twe rounds in nice shape, but was ham- mered in the fourth, when he was lucky to escape with enly twe rums charged against him, Meusel pro- duced the first single-handed with & clout for the circuit over the fenee in back of the left fleld bleacherites—a real wallop. Harris pulled a fancy play to retire Pipp and_after Scott walked, Rice uncovered a highly spectacular bit of work in chasing a fotle for Schang’s distant wallop. Hoyt's safety. a liner that caromed off the right fleld stapd ‘past Brower for two bases, cashed Scott. A round trip driva by Judge, the third of the pastime, pulled the Griffs up to even terms with the Yankees in the sixth, after four perfeetly IHOW GRIFFS ARE mrnnc| AB. H. SB.

The Griffs again were trailing at the end of the frame, however, due to Pipp's single to right and a shot to left by Scott that netted two bases, be- cuuse Goslin failed to take into ac- count the barrier behind him, the ball Bouncing past him to center field. Phillips contrived to retire the side without further damage. Stormy Scene In Seventh. ormy scene was staged in' the seventh when the Yankees threatened Brillheart, who succeeded Pieillips when the latter was withdrawn by Milan, who gssayed unsuccessfully to pinchhit for him. Batting for Witt, Fewster singled to right and prompti. stole wecond. Ward and Miller bet! popped, but Baker came through with a crash to right that Brower fielded on the run and shot to Gharrity. Tur- key's throw was wide, but Pat got the ball on the first hop and stabbed &t Fewster as he sailed by. Nailin'’s ver~ dlct of “out” brought Yankee regulars and reservists alike to the spot, whers the ump was forced to liaten to a 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 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 up occurred in ) contest, for the Griffs proved unequal to the ‘task of upsetting Hoyt in the last three- frames, although they al- ways looked dangerous. In the seventh Gharrity got farther than second following_ his single, despite the pinoh-hitting efforts of Milan and Harris' nasty rap to Hoyt. Pat's safety, if deterred one inning, would have done x lot of demage, for singles by Judge and Goslin, and the wounding of Shanks filled the bases in the eighth with two down. Then Ghar- rity rolled harmlessly to Scott. Harris provided a ray of hope with a shot to center fleld after two had died in the ninth, but. Hoyt made a bare- handed stop of Rice's vicious crack, and it was all over. JOB “NOT ALLPLAY," SAYS BASE BALL BOSS ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 26.—Kenesaw Mountain Landis, base ball .commis- sloner, in an address here vesterday complained of‘the amount of work his base ball job entailed. s “Po not think my jeb is all play,” the commissioner bewailed. “Every morning I find it necessary to do 18 disposing of my official duties, I have te sit through a game of major league base ball.

In twenty-two times at bat he has made just three hits for an average of .136, about one-third of his 1981 hitting percentage.

HICAGO, May 26.—Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees today was declared by President Ban Johnson of the American League p to be ineligible to play until a2 complete investigation has been made of the grgument with Umpire Hildebrand which resulted in the home run king being put out of the game yesterday and then climbing into the stands when he became offended at the booing of fans. Johnson said an investigation would be made at once and that a final decision would be made by tomorrow. Ruth, however, will not be permitted to play today. “I have received only the report of Umpire Hildebrand.” sald Johnson. “I have started gathering complete evi- dence in the case and expect to have this in my hands by tomorraw.
