SPORTS. Ruth Ready for Ne “EX-CAPTAIN" OF YANKS FACES A TOUGH HANDICAP Has Registered But One Homer With a Qun'rtex; of the Season Gone—Zachary, Goslin and Peck Combine to Beat Hugmen, 3 to 1. BY DENMAN stadium this afternoon. PHOMPSON. EMPORARILY extinguished, George Herman Ruth will bust right back into the national pastime and make a fresh start in the handi- cap race for home-run honors of the universe at the Georgia avenue This two-hundred-odd pounds of bone and sinew, whose prowess in wielding a forty-two-ounce base ball list of aliases, has lost one. title, that bat has earned for him an imposing of “captain,” as a result of the dis- cipline imposed by Ban Johnson for that exhibition in New York Thurs- day, in addition to having some poor bookie's income reduced by a coupla hunnerd rats in a fine that the league head’s sentence carried with it. Now Babe will bend his energics téward disproving the.onl monicker which ever got a rise out of the usually good-natured giant, the one that caused him to invade the grandstand at the Polo Grounds in pursuit of the cowardly spectator who relied on the fact that he was one of a large crowd to escape the consequences of yelling “Big Bum.” Ruth hak a most discouraging time- obstacle to hurdle in his quest for a new slugging record. Seven weeks, practically one-quarter of the season, already has slipped by and he has but one homer, a single and a double to show for his efforts with the flail in the six games he has played, a bat- ing percentage of .136. At this time jast season he had thirteen ecircuit clouts to his credit. Opmion is al- most unanimous that he will not be able to even approach his record of last year, fifty-nine, but this was true after he set up the previous high mark of fifty-four, and even that of | twenty-nine lha:h he established the season prior to that. ?{su(hphss accomplished so many “impossible” feats with his bludgeon that the speculatively inclined will do well to consider earefully before hocking the family flivver to wager against him, and we bhave a well-de- fined hunch that those who bet he ‘could not overhaul Ken Williams, al- ready credited with a dozen marathon hauls, will be troubled with numb- ness in the lower extremities by the fourth of July. : Huge Throngs Expected. Anyway, weather of only a fair to middlin’ brand will be necessary to ure throngs of near-record pro- tions out 7th street way this af- hen the Bambino is due to!} inaugurate another drive toward the place in the sun he considers right- fully and the prospects that (o.- morrow they’ll be turning ‘em away. In the swatting sultan’s absence vesterday, the XNationals, with the henefit of a fine display of flinging by ezebel Tecumseh Zachary, a most opportune bingle by Goose Goslin and sensational shortstopping by R. Peck- inpaugh, took the measure of Bob Shawkey and his fellow champions in neat fashion, 3 to 1. Zachary fully merited a shut-out victory and would have had it, except for a miscue by Goslin, but the Sally Leaguer more than made amends for the bobble with his flail, while Peck attained dizsy heights with his feats afleld after pulling one bum chuck which hed no bearing on the outcome. Nationals Off in Fromt. Goslin was on the producing end of the pair of tallies that put the Griff- man in front &t the outset. One gone, Rice beat out a bounder to Scott over the midway, Judge walked d Brower arrived at first ahead of Baker's toss of his swinging buni, filling the bases. Goose crashed the Dhall pitched to center, scoring Rice | and Judge, and sending Brower to third. On an attempted ‘“squeeze, Gharrity’s bunt went straight to Shawkey, who tossed out Turkey at the plate. Peck then forced Ghar- rity. T’ho Goose also was rtspon:fllble for the run registered by the Yanks in the fourth, too. With two gone, ‘Baker raised what should have been an easy out to left field. Misjudging the drive, Goslin hung back, then dashed forward and got both hands on the ball, but fumbled, and before he could recover and heave to Peck, Baker was on second, from where he scored when Meusel swatted to left. Singles by La Motte and Zachary, with two down in the fourth, were wasted when Harris lofted to Miller, but a tally accrued to the Griffs in the following frame when Shawkey developed a streak of wildress. Rice started with a single to left center and was flagged by Fewster in try- ing to stretch it. Judge popped to Pipp, but the corner were crowded when Brower and Gharrity received free. transportation. with a single by Goslin _sandwiched in, and four straight balls to Peck fohced a run over the plate. La Motte proved un- cqual to a grand opportunity when he succumbed on strikes. Pull Nifty Double Play. Following the fourth the Hugmen were unable to register a safety off Zachary until the eighth when a nifty double play, started and fin- ished by Judge sunffed their rally. Fewster led with a rap to left and after Ward's death took third on a single Miller poked through the po- sition vacated by Harris with the hit-and-run sign displayed. Then Baker hopped to Judge whose toss 10 Peck forced Miller, and Baker was doubled up when Rajah shot the ball back to Josephus. Great stuff! It was in the ninth that Peckin- paugh set off the real pyrotechnics, however. With Meusel disposed of, Pipp singled to right and Scott rammed what appeared to be a sure- fire safety close to the middle cush- jon. Peck skimmed over and scooped it up with his gloved hand, stepped on_second to force Pipp and shot the ball to Judge for the two-ply demise that terminated the joust. Hubbell Is Improving. PHILADELPHIA, May 27.—A smarked improvement is shown in the | condition_of Wilbur Hubbell, Phila- delphia National pitcher, whose skull Was_fractured by a batted ball.

ON THE SIDE LINES Ray Franeis is booked to face Mays or Bush of the Yanks in the second setto of the series today, starting at 3 o'clock. The Coast league graduate has won his last two starts, against the Tygers and White Sox, by iden- tical scores, 3-2, and is confident he can chastise the chesty champions, Ruth or no Ruth. Approximately 12,000, more than half that number eash customers, were on hand for the Ladies’ day num- ber and saw a fine scrap. Schang got a gift single in the third when Goslin and Rice let his fly fall untouched = between . them. Either could have caught ft. Shawkey was considerably peeved at La Motte when he “ran up on” one of the Yank's deliveries in the fifth. Shawkey voiced his resentment over the light regard for his_stuff that Bobbie's action implied and proceeded to whiff him with three on. Peck drew a roar of applause in the seventh when he snitched Pipp's hopper with one fin close to the key- stone agd flipped to Judge for the put-out. The double play he Initi- ated in the ninth was an even more meritorious bit of work, however. Rog probably feels sad to be pulling these stunts against the gang plloted by his old buddie, Miller Huggins’ Zach looked every bit as good yes- terday as he did on his last previous appearance Sunday, when he limited the White Sox to flve scattered bin- gles and got an 8-1 verdict. ‘With Shanks battered up again and Bush_still nurslng‘ charley horse, La Motte got intoWhe picture once more yesterday. Bob's flelding 1s about all that could be desired. The Natiomals still are in seventh place, but only a game and a half sep- arates them from third position. STATISTICS OF MAJORS Cleveland ...

McCallum of The Even- ing Star, whose card of 75 led that of Robert J. Bender of the United Prei by one stroke. Horace Green of Les- lie’s was next with'a 77. President’s' Putter Eail Playing with Bender as a partner against Henry L. West of the Wash- ington Post and Arthur W. Dunn of the American Press Association, President Harding, needing a five to win the cup, put his third shot at the eighteenth hole well on the green. As he took his stance to putt, the motion picture cameras behind him began to click, disturbing the tradi- tional silence during which a golf stroke usually is made. Whatever the cause, ‘the President's approach putt rolled far beyond the hole. His second putt was short and he missed a three-footer for a six. His un- lucky putting streak kept Mr. Hard- ing off the team, which will repre- sent the local newspaper club In matches in New York June 12. Fifth prize in the eighteen-hole medal play event went to Bender, while sixth prize was won by Robert T. Small of the Consolidated Press Assoclation. Mark Foote of the Grand Rapids Press won the much discussed booby prize, while Kirk Miller of the Washington Times, per- haps better known as “Skillet Finn, won_the mystery award, a driving machine given for the player with the highest gross score. - President Brigham of the adsoclation told Mr. Harding that the driving machine was to be installed in some place where all members of the club might make use of jt.

WINBY CENTRAL NINE GIVES WESTERN TITLE FINAL SCHOLASTIO STANDING. Western , Business Central Eastern Western's team sat in Central sta- dium yesterday and saw itself estab- lished as 1922 high school base ball champion when Central's nine played as it should have all season and de- feated Business, 6 to 2, in twelve innings. Western was leading the league with three wins and one de- feat prior to the contest, but a Busi- ness victory would have given the latter team & tie at the top with the boys from Georgetown. The fray, hotly contested, was the most notable of the annual series in two things. It was the first extra- inning engagement of the champion- ship tourney, and the first in which a player knocked a home run over the Florida avenue wall. This particular homer, made by Con- nor in the ninth inning, was respon- sible for the overtims play. Edeli Central pitcher, had been particular- ly effective with runners on the bases—and Business several times in the early inoings had a couple of boys blocking the paths—while his mates were accumulating a pair of tallies off Haas, and with one on and one out in the ninth Business pros- pects were not so bright. But Con- nor stepped into the second ball pitched to him and lofted it over the wall, scoring Donovan ahead. On a regular field it would have been an easy out, for Williams was right at the barrier to make the catch. Then Business threatened seriously but Edelin proved master of the situ- ation. In the tenth the Stenographers had two runners on bases and none out and in the next session got & man to third with two down. After the eighth Central was easy for Haas until the twelfth. Then Hall drove over the wall for the circuit and Chil- dress hit a four-base blow to left field. Each drive counted a runner abead. Errors helped Central score its early tallies. In the second inning Hall clouted to left for three bases and continued home when Donovan Edelin got to second on an error in the Centralit { eighth and was hit home. Business _outhit twelve safeties to nine, but h eleven runners left on the bases Every member of the Stenographers except Shortstop Clark got one or the more swats. Simpson led the list with four singles in six times up. Haas, regular first sacker, was shift- ed to the mound and twirled good ball against Central until the fatal twelfth, ! Tech's team left this morning for Emmitsburg, Md., where it was to meet Mount St. Mary’s this afternoon. The Manual Trainers expected to send | Houser against the Mountaineers. He pitched well against them when Tech beat that team here last week. Central's erew ix at Philadelphia today to take part in the annual American Henley regatta on the Schuylkill.
