SPORTS R, WASHINGTON, 1 SPORTS Yankees Come to Town Tomorrow : Maranwille Is Proving Star at Second Base - RUTH AND CO. WILL OPEN | FOUR-GAME SERIES HERE Joe Martina May Start Against World Champions. Zahniser’s Mental Lapses Gives Mackmen 4 to 3 Verdict—Game Today Is Called Off. BY DENMAN THOMPSO! the G EORGE HERMAN RUTH and the other bloated bondholders of Yankees, who have been lording it over all American League entrants for three years and now boast the title of world cham- pions. will be the magnet that attracts throngs to Clark Griffith stadium for four days starting tomorrow. have had a rather rough time of’it, To date the triple pennant winners having been knocked off in two out i three games by the rehabilitated Red Sox. but they still are the title bearers, and they still afford the fans an opportunity of seeing the hardest hitter base ball tomorrow, and may develop hot box r produced, so the turnstiles should click merrily es on Sunday. ' Ruth scems to be having trouble with his carburetor or something, and has yet to inaugurate the string to sixty. but he is as likely as not can be depended on to be out there of home runs that he hopes to run up to get going right here, so the bugs in droves to boo him vociferously if he fans and cheer wildly if he connects I itut the ton that as s may be in Bos- aid of the Yankees s they o, reason they have If that is the ris and his gang will be pulling for the ‘Bambino to whiff every time he comes up, for thus far they ha ex- perfenced no better success against the Athleties than the Hugmen have n Beantown, The rain that descended steadily throughout the night and this morn- ing put the field out of commission sitated calling off the final the series with the Mackmen . but if it had been possible to play Manager Harris planned to send B Martina to mound.

The cancel lation today gives the Athletics an edge on the Griffmen for the season thus far of two games to one ahniser's Lapsex Fatal, Mechanically Zahniser gave a fine exhibition, but otherwise he left much to be red. for it was directly due to mental Japses on his part on two o ons that the Griffmen were nosed out before a meager crowd of half-froze: fans.

He st n doing that thing with a flip to Harris, but not before Hauser had slid over the home plate with what proved to be the wjnning counter.

The Athletics lost no time horning into the run column, although their tally in the opener bore the distinet imprint of a horseshoe.

The boy manager negotiated 1 theft of second, while Perkins kept an eye on Judge, but the pair of them™ were left when Rice took a third strike, Mack's high-priced minor league talent, Strand and Simmons, col- laborated in workmanlike manner to pull the A’s up to even terms with the Nationals in the sixth, after three harren frames.

With Goslin up Baum- gartner had reason to worry, but Chick eased this feeling by snaring Goose's bounder, stepping on second and firing to Hauser for a dual kill- ing. There is a possibility that Martina may be sent to the box against the Yankees tomorrow, although advance plans were to have Walter Johnson pitch the first game of every series. Zahniser “threw” a good game, but *pitched” a poor one yesterday, as one, fan put it after the battle.
