" are scheduled for gumes nest week, 4 BABE EXPECTED TO STAR . AGAIN AS CIRCUIT HITTER Was Dangerous Batter Even While Near-Invalid in His Early Games This Season—1Is Likel Improve Rapidly in Fielding. BY STANLEY HARRIS, Manager and Second Baseman, Worid Champion Washington Club. ABE RUTH has come back into his own. The greatest long-distance hitter in the history of base ball made his first home run of the sea- son off young Walter Miller of the Indians last Thursday. The.Babe is off to a much later start than ever before and he can hardly be expected to approach some of his circuit figures of other campaigns. However, now that he is started, he will hit plenty of homers before the season ends. He didn't miss one by much in #aking his 1925 major league bow against Washington. Then he wa\ only a few inches out of the way, when he connected with one to his liking, driving out a powerful foul. The Babe is a dangerous batter even when he is a near-invalid. A pitcher can't take any liberties with a slugger of his type at any time. Of course the big fellow started the seasen under a terrific handicap. He was weak and wobbly on his pins. He really got out of bed to take part in a regular game. Before the Babe went to his position against Washing- tan he had had little chance for a real workout. All he was able to get in e o G flshepmctieertir & ok THREE TIE FOR LEAD AT BENNING SHOOT and I think it applies to all really ®reat hitters—his batting eye was sharpened and ready from the very Three marksmen tied for high gun honors yesterday at the weekly trap- shoot at Washington Gun Club, Hor- fist.

The fact that he was able to play through such weather ought to be enough to convince any one that the king of the hitters will be able to stand the strain of going through the balance of the ! schedule. Ruth showed courage of the highest order when he got back in the New York lineup as early as he did. Mighty few athletes would have taken the chances he did on recelving a bad | setback. He showed his great love for base ball when he insisted upon getting back into harness when he dd. Ruth, like all truly great play- ers, really loves base ball. I know e had a hard time of it staying in bed when the Yanks opened the sea- on. The Babe really eats and sleeps his base ball. The Yankees should show to better advantage now that Ruth-has started on what should be a substantial home- run streak. They have been playing better ball since he returned, even if they haven’t been able to climb into the first division. The presence of the ng of Swat should prove a tonic far the New Yorkers. It has been ap axiom of base ball for some years new that “as Ruth goes, so go the Yhnks.” iThe truth of this opinion has. been etty conclusively proved by the ow of the New Yorkers in the first portion of the season. They seemed t§ go from bad to worse. While the nkees are hardly golng great guns a} the present time, they have shown a. better and more aggressive spirit stnce Ruth got back into his uniform. = Yanks' Road Rough. i Epes. —e SARAZEN IS AMONG 92 IN RICH CHICAGO RACE CHICAGO, June 13 (#).—Sarazen, the prospective turf champlon of the year in America, and 91 other leading handicap and stake horses, have been nominated for the $20,000 added Chi- cago special to be run at Hawthorne Saturday, August 22, according to the list of nominations made public today.

Milton’s official time was 2 hours 10 minutes and 2149 seconds. Hartz came In third and Frank Ellott fourth. The race was marred by only one slight accident. ~ As Milton flashed home the winner Wade Morton crashed through the rail on the back stretch. He crawled from his racer as it hung to the fence and waved his arms to signal that he was not hurt seriously. He was removed to the fleld hospital, however, where physiclans treated him for a sprained back. y Several other incidénts served to thrill the erowd. Ralp# Hepburn blew a tire shortly after the 100-mile mark was reached. His machine skidded down the boards near.the grandstand, sending up a cloud of dust. The crowd gave him a lusty cheer when he went back on the track uninjured. Leon Duray's left rear axle gave way while he was speeding to the west curve. His wheel sagged and the fans held their breath until’ the skillful ‘pilot brought his car down to safety.

It may be t 1 Of course this is only a matter of co were made. year. No bass have been reported caught in the Potomac since the opening of the local season, and the perch and herring have left for parts unknown. The catfish, always with us, have been furnishing anglers with some exciting minutes and some big ones have been landed. The opening of the Virginta fishing season tomorrow will attract many anglers to that State’s streams for the small-mouthed bass. The Virginia law required all non-residents to pro- cure a license before attempting to fish in any stream in that State where the tide does not flow and ebb. All the places and creeks where the tide rises and falls from the Potomac River may be fished without securing a lcense. The cost of the Virginia fishing license is $2.50 and may be obtained from the Atlas Sporting Goods Store, on D between Ninth and Tenth streets. The most encouraging reports have come in from the salt water fishing grounds, particularly those in the lower Potomac around Piney Point and Rock Point. The recent hot spell evidently whetted the appetitie of the hardheads, with the result that last Sunday parties returned with big catches of three and four pound fish. The largest hardheads that have been caught on hooks about Piney Point, Md., in several years, were taken during the past week by a number of Washingtonians. John Saxty and wife and John Noone were at Point Lookout last Saturday and_Sunday and returned with 48 hardheads ranging | from 1 to 2% pounds. They used| bloodworms and shrimp as bait. Dr. Walter Schutze, Harold Schultze Jack O'Brien, Louls Schultze and John Donoghue visited Annapolis last Week end and fished at Red Top. They were not_so successful in the number of fish landed, but those caught were blg onee. Robert M. Estes, deputy commis- soner of internal revenue, is an ardent angler, and when not attending to the intricate business of collecting reve- nues for the Government is to be found at his summer home, a mile north of NortR Beach, on Chesapeake Bay. Last Saturday and Sunday Estes entertained a ~arty of officials of the Treasury Department. His party caught 105 hardheads. Deputy State game wardens of Mary- land haye been notified to give par- ticular attention to violators of State laws protecting fish, according - to Charles F. Smith, chief deputy game warden. This notice was caused by the arrest last week of four men in Baltimore County on charges of dyna- miting Gunpowder River for fish. . It is unlawful to throw dynamite or other ex-losives in any waters of the State and thus cause the destruction of fish. A penalty is provided of not less than $100 nor more than $300, or imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than a year nor more than three years, or both fine and imprison- ment. The attention of this column was called to a violation of our, regula- tion for protecting the fish in the Tidal Basin. The law states that no fishing is allowed from a_boat, but must be confined to the seawall. Sev- era] anglers were seen last week fishing from a boat in the basin, but when an officer was located and his attention directed to this violation of the rules governing fishing in this body of water the offenders had fied. M. H. Lockeman of the Federal Chemical Department of this city, and Charles H, M. Bafrett, an ex- pert taxidermist for the Government, who has been working for Uncle Sam for 20 years without a vacation, recently visited H. L. Ferguson, a taxidermist of Sarasota, Fla., to fish for tarpon, as well as to assist him in_mounting specimens. During their. stay they went out many times to try . their. skill with the silver kings and were succesuful in lamding some of these wonderful fighters. _ Their largest fish weighed 128 pounds, and ‘the others ranged from 45 pounds to 98 -pounds The remarksbly cool ~weather which mnrkodvth:nb.n )::; 0!:«?. past week also inauguras er fishing at Chesapeake Beach, both in the outside waters.

Cooper was well out in front when he blew a tire on the back stretch. Hill took the lead at the start and held it for 80 miles. His motor went bad as he crossed the 100-mile mark and he retifed. De Paole did not show his speed until after the racers passed the cen- ury mark, Then he settled down, overtook the flylng motors one by one and pear the finish he went -ahead of Milton. But Tommy was not to be denled. He pushed De, Paolo to the limit, making better than 122 miles an hour.. Finally, on the back turn, Miiton breasted De Paolo and a few seconds later he flashed into the lead, holding it to the end. “.The crowd marveled at Cooper’'s ability to nurse his tires.

But it was only for & moment. His left rear tire gave way and Hartz flashed to the front.

Y., June 12 ®.—American Flag, son of Man.o'- War, carrying the silks of the Glen Riddle Farm, won ‘the fifty-seventh running of the historic Belmont stakes, at $50,000, for 3-year-old colts and fillles {n the final day's racing at Belmont Park today. Jockey ‘Johnson rode the victor un- der the wire first by a comfortable margin of more than six lengths. G. A. Cochran’s Dangerous was second, more than three lengths ahead of Bud Fisher's Swope. One of the largest crowds in the history of Belmont Park saw today’s classic. The victor was an odds on favorite, paying 9 to 20 to win dt post time. The time for the mile and three fur- longs was 2:16 4-5. By Hisself, Mar- coni, Prince of Bourbon and Back- bone also ran. .. The start was good, American Flag, at the pole, breaking away to_ the front with Prince of Bourbon second. At the quarter, Sande, up on Prince of Bourbon, sent his mount into a clear dead. which he increased to three lengths at the half. As the field rounded the final turn inte‘the stretch, Johnson sent American Flag along and with ease he passed the leader and came down fo the wire alone. Dangerous showed good én durance in the dash for second place with "Swope astern by more than three lengths. By Hisself was two lengths behind Swope and Marconi fifth. Prince of Bourbon and Back- bone quit badly and brought up in the rear.

I am told there was no intention on part of the manufacturers to make the ball livelier. The fact re- mains, however, that it fs. This is due. to the use of Australlan wool which winds more tightly around the core, giving the bali additional resillency. it is interesting to note that as the home runs increase the accidents to players increase This, I think, plainly indicates the cause—the lively ball. All Clubs Fighting. Since my return to the game after quite a spell of {llness one of the first things to attract my interest is in the absence of what we used to call the tailend spirit. That is a big step toward prosperity for the owners and more enjoyment for fans. By “tail-end” spirit, I mean a will- |ingness on the part of a club to stay {down and not bother about it. Play ers used to often think that such a position was hopeless and would show no fight. That is changed now The Cardinals, Braves, Philli to Cubs and other clubs who got away ilo a bad start are fighting right now s If they were actually in reach of |the pennant. They refuse to con- sider themselves out of it. That | spirit is making interesting races in |both leagues. You can’t make any of these clubs believe that they are not contenders. The new rule per- mitting all clubs in the first division | to share in the world series’ is help- | ing to make red-hot races in both leagues. | The way the players of the Cardi- {nals under Hornsby, the White Sox under Collins, the Phillles under Fletcher and the Braves under Ban- | croft, in fact all of them, are hustling |to get in the first division reminds | me of a remark by Ned Hanlon to |fan when our old Oriole Club was going good. ! “Mr. Hanlon,” the fan asked. “Who | |1s the captain of the Orioles?” “Why," captains.” | On the clubs I have referred to to win the pennant. They all captains. That is the sp! makes great ball clubs and pennants. \ Likes White Sox Spirit. From the way they have been| soing lately T have an idea that the | White Sox are pretty sure to be con- | tenders In the American League be- | fore this race is over been an inspiration to the young fel- lows and the veterans like Faber and halk seem to be rejuvenated. A similar_spirit seems to pervad the Reds. Despite the hard luck th have had all season every man on | knows how. That determination will bring the Reds along. They will yet |, be up in that first division fichting | for a high berth. It looks as if the continued set- backs of the Tygers and the Yanks| had practically killed their chances | | natural strength to be kept even with such a bad start. Babe Ruth's return had an imme- diate effect on the spirit of the Yank but their task of completely overcom ing the big lead seems almost insur- mountable. The hot weather was hard on all the players, but it was-particu- Jarly jhard on Ruth. I can well un- derstand how weak he feels. It is a pity that he can’t have a long rest and build himself to his old power. But he has that never.die base ball spirit and wants to play. He gets in there and works as hard as he can. but the weakness begins to tell and he has to get out. The Braves, just as they were start- ing to climb, had another bad break when Bancroft was hurt just before the start on thg Western trip. Our club is now in Pittsburgh, and M year.
