Babe Ruth to Peifor Here Tomorrom : érd JOHNSON LISTED TO FACE YANKS IN OPENING GAME Champs Now Hold 9-4 Game Margin Over Griffs. iy Future of Ruth in Base Ball Depends on 3 Whether He Has Learned His Lesson. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. ‘ N ’ ALTER JOHNSON, who, knocked out of the box by the Mack- men in his first start of the season in the most overwhelming defeat suffered by the Nationals this year, has since gradually recovered his form. until now he ranks right vp with the topmost hurlers in the circuit, tomorrow will have an opportunity to climb even higher in the pitching av s. and, incidentally, help his club retrieve some of the ground lost to the Yankees early in the campaign, when the champions were hitting on all cylinders and the Griffs were getting stalled with alarming regularity. The game cou favor of the Yanks son, Milan's men wi between the two clubs now stands nine to four in and in order to do as well as break even on the sea- have to annex seven of the nine contests remain- ing to be disposed of. This is a mighty tough assignment, and it may well be doubted that they can succeed, but they should make a start in the right direction tomorrow if Barney toils, for they will be represented on the mound by a hurler who has pitched shut-out ball in his last two games, Walter having let the Mackmen down with five hits Friday after limiting the \White Sox to )uh a dozen bingles the Sunday previous. o Iy ' CLEMONS OF CARDINALS il HAS RIGHT HAND INJURED ot ot LOUIS, Mo..

Decision went to Brit ton after he had been sent to his knees by a body blow in the thirteenth round. While on his knees Leonard dodged in behind the referee and struck Jack a light blow. So Britton retained his title. Britton had out- boxed Benny most of the way. The fans were astonished when the normaly cool-headed Leonard apparently lost his head and struck that foul blow.
