Ruth’s Future Is at Stake, Harris Says : McGraw Coricedes Cincinnati Has Chance - MUST ACQUIRE STRENGTH BEFORE HE RESUMES PLAY i B’Jck_v Asserts Babe Can Star for Years to Come, But Only by Staying Out Till He Is Physically i Fit—Thinks Yanks are Through. BY STANLEY (BUCKY) HARRIS, 3 Manager and Second Baseman, World Champlen Washington C ABE RUTH has been forced to throw up the sponge. The king of the sluggers last week agreed to take a layoff in an effort to re- gain his form. He decided during the series with the Nationals that he owed it to himself and the Yankees to take it easy until he is able ta do himself justice. I know this was a hard step for Ruth to take. The Babe would rather play base ball than do anything under the sun. It is punishment faor him when he sits on the bench. He wants to be in there socking the ball, chasing flies and scooting around the bases. But friends and physi- cians finally made him understand that he has to go easy or pay very severe penalties. E Some time ago I pointed out that the Babe would come along fine if he hadn’t returned to the game before his physical condition fully war- ranted it. Well, there is no question now but what the big fellow took his place in the line-up to soon. If he hasn’t suffered a relapse he at least has prevented his full recovery as early as otherwise would have been the case. It must be remembered that there was plenty of indirect pressure brought on Ruth to get-back in uni- form. Fans all over the country were saying that the Yankees were not getting any place fn the American League race because the Babe wasn't in there knocking the ball out of the lot. They had the right idea, beyond a doubt, but this didn’t help Ruth any. Reading the newspapers and get- ting letters from the fans egged the King of Swat into hustling into his uniform long before he regained his full strength, following a most serious illness. He now is paying the price. The big fellow probably won't take a long rest because of his enthusiasm for the game, but he ought to be com- pelled to do so. Remains Menace to Pitchers. Some fans may see the passing of the greatest hitter in the history of the game in Ruth’s present slump. But it is not the part of wisdom to sing the Babe's swan song. You can't take his batting eye a and as long as he has that he always will be a menace when he faces even the greatest of pitchers. His legs and arms have been weak after his long spell in_the hospital, and it is only natural that he should show signs of slowing up. Only his great heart has'kept him in the game. Few ball players would have been in the line-up under the same conditions. It the Babe gets the proper amount of rest, he will be in there again knocking the ball over the fence. He has been a mighty sick man since he got back in the game, and well do I know it. Babe Not Yet Through. But he isn't through by a long shot. They say vou can't keep a good man down and Ruth still is about the best there is in base ball. His spirit is willing enough, his batting eve ls good as ever, but the flesh s too weak to carry him along. He is due to fool any folks who think he is_on the down-grade as a star, provid®l he al- lows himself time to recover his full strength before again getting in the line-up. ; If he doesn't take it easy the Babe will have a longer lay-off than did George Sisler. The leader of the Browns was out for a year because of eve trouble. Then he came back siowly to regain his form. Now heis playing as brilliantly as ever. Ruth hardly could afford to be out of the game for a full vear. He is the type which would put on too much weight.” But he will have to take a considerable rest if he doesn't watch himself. The best thing for the Babe to do is take it sasy now -before more damage is done. His whole future may be at stake. Yankees Are Out of It. * With Ruth on the shelf the Yankees may be considered definitely out of the running this season. Apparently the management is reconciled to this view- point, as shown by shifts in the lin up. The New York championship ma- chine finally has cracked. The Yanks is the prescription which will be order- ed for them before the opening of an- other campalign. The New Yorkers will have to do considerable rebuilding, but they will have a fine nucleus around which to develop another great combination. However, even this is likely to take time. The Yanks may not figure prominently in another pennant chase for several yvears. o T FIGHT REFEREE PICKED. SAN FRANCISCO, June 27 (P). —Bobby Johnson of San Francisco, will referee the Pancho Villa-Jimmy McLarnin 10-round bout scheduled for July 4 at the Oakland base ball park, the promoters announced late today. Villa’s fiyweight title will not be at stake since McLarnin scales over the fiywelght limit. BIG LEAGUE AVERAGES Including Games of Thursday- AMERICAN LEAGUE. | NATIONAL LEAGUE. CLUB BATTING.

The time for the five furlongs was.one minute. The Bropkdale handieap, valued at $6.850 to the winner, went to.the Glen | Riddle Farm's filly, Whetstone, with the Rancocas stable’s Mad Play sec- ond, and Aga Khan third. 'The time for the mile and an elghth was 1:49 25, Sande gave Mrs. Payne Whitney's Navigator a perfect ride in the Great American. Coming into the, stretch neck and neck with Sarmaticus and Powhatan, Sande gave his mount the reln to, 'win by a head with Sar. maticus a nose in front of Powhatan. Centrifugal, a long shot, was promi nent all the way, only to stop in the final furlong, finishing three lengths behind Powhatan. Navigator was quoted at 9 to 2 at post time. Mad Play went to the post in the Brookdale a 1 to 2 favorite, but he ‘was burdened under 130 pounds, and found the weight too much against the 'filly, Whetstone. Little B.

T of fishermen and fisherwomen had assured, they were after either rock A number of parties have been made up to try their luck with the small- mouth buss in the upper. Potomac and in the Shenandoah. Now is the time to angle for these gamesters, because when the water gets too hot they become sluggish. The Spring.and Fall is the best time for small-mouth bass; although, of course, many are caught during the hot days of July and August. Another sporting goods store has joined the ranks of those providing mad toms and Virginia fishing licenses: The National Military and Sports Shop now is handling Virginia licenses for anglers and also has a supply of mad toms. The charge for these little ‘wild cats” is $1.25 a dozen. The mad tom is one of the best baits for the small-mouth bass for two reasons— first, the. bass like them and attack them viciously, and, secondly, they are a hardy little fish and can be cast many times before they die. The sil- ver smelt also is a good balt for these fish, but they die quickly and great care and attention must be, given to keep them alive en route to your favorite fishing grounds. As has been the case in past fishing seasons, the lower Potomac around Rock Point has been late in_announc- ing good fishing. But F. X. Stone- street informed this column that last week things In the fishing line had begun to take on i different aspect. He says “fishing is getting better every day now and peelers and soft crabs are at last showing up.” There are plenty, of crabs farther down the Potomac, between Rock Point and Point Lookout, but, like the fish, they are late in arriving in the vicknity of Rock Point. Last week, at Rock Point, W. W. Connors, J. T. Keenan, G. J. Grom- met, J. 'H. Simmons and C. C. Griggs caught 65 fine fish right in front of the hotel in the early morning before afikflut, and six of these were rock- Fishing at other salt water places continues to be good, bad and indif- ferent. One party will return and re- port that it had good sport and caught a great number of fish. Another will say that they caught only an eel, and still another will report only a few hardhead and some spot. is no doubt that salt-water fish this Spring are not so numerous as in past years, at least not as yet. The croakers, or hardheads, have been making up in size what they lack in numbers, and the larger hardheads furnish excellent sport. Local anglers and those of Mary- land are greatly interested in the out. come of the pending controversy of the Maryland State warden with the fishpot owners in the upper Potomac area. In his answer to the plea of the fish- pot people, who obtained a writ of in- Jjunction against the action of the State warden raining him from destroying the fishpots, Attorney Gen- eral Robinson charges the operation of fishpots violates the laws of the States of Maryland, Virginia and Wost Virginia, based on an #greement made in 1785. While the attorney general admitted in his answer that the out- lawing of fishpots by the Maryland Jegislatures of 1910 and 1924 was not concurred in by Virginia and West Virginia, he maintained that the State game department does not depend on these laws to suport removal of these illegal devices. The. atforney general declared it is the duty’of the State game warden to have the fishpots removed.. It will be interesting to all fishermen to know that the attorney. general has en- tered a demurrer to the entire peti. tion of the owners of the fishpots, on the ground of insufficiency in law and bstance. The injunc- tion suit to restratm the game warden was filed at Hagerstown, Md., by Jacob M. Middlekauff and four others. Andy Rawlings, one of the old faithful at Chesapeake - Beach, ' de- clares that the spell of hot weather must have affected the size of the fish, as never before in the history of fishing at the beach has there been so many wee spot nibbling and taking the 'hook. ‘Some keen humor is en.

HE recent rains did not muddy the waters of the Potomac to any great extent, and yestérday it was in good condition for anglers.

When he left the Potomac ang entered the Little River the Potomac was perfectly clear. Upon returning the Potomac was cov- ered with a white foam resembling thick soap suds. It was so thick that It stuck to the oars and the side of the boat.

Middletown, N. Y. has reported that @ German carp weighing 15 pounds made a breakfast of carrot tops. The report states that Louls Bell waded fnto his garden at Bloom- burg recently, when it was covered with water as a result of the Shaw- angunkill overflowing and killed the carp with a spade. Several farmers told Constable Mil- ler of that State that carp had done serious damage by feeding on their lettuce and asparagus beds. The con- stable set a number of fish traps in the flooded section and baited them with Brussels sprouts, which he said no cdrp could resist. This is one case in which the officer of the law could not make an arrest and had to efther catch or kill. DETROIT, Xich., June 27 (#).— The Columbia Yacht Club of New York, on behalf of H.

Contender With New York, Pittsburgh - and Brooklyn—Asserts Lively Ball Should be Standardized. BY JOHN J. McGRAW, Manager, New York Glants, Natiodal League Champions. OW that the Eastern and Western clubs of both major leagues have N had a fair test on the road it seems pretty well established to me that the pennant in the National League is to be decided between New York, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn and Cincinnati. In the American Leagne the Athletics and the Senators are sticking close together and drawing further away from the field. Both the American League contenders ap- pear to have hit the steady stride that counts. To a base ball man the progress of the Yanks and the Tygers is par- ticularly of interest, because of their slow recovery from terrible bad starts. Despite the hopelessness of a chantpionship, due to the early set backs, the natural strength of those clubs_has forced them along. E if they should not win a pennant they will be from now on a consta danger to the contenders. It means, in a way, that the future of the Ath letics and Senators will be affected by the way they play against New York and Detroit. The Glants have had a trying time in the West, but when the condition of the club is considered, the num- erous accidents and the constantly shifting line-up, I feel that we came out -of it pretty well. If we consider the three-game serles at Brooklyn,| which started. us off, we won 10/ games and lost 10. A crippled team that can hold its own is not in such | a bad way. In the face of all the troubles the Giants held their lead With Frisch, Lindstrom, Groh and | others back in the game we should do well from now on. It is a heavy | handicap on a ball club to have men Mke that out for a month. ' The re-| sult is a tribute to our secondary or | reserve strength. | Invasions Again Are Due. | ‘Within a few days the Western and Eastern clubs in both leagues begin a third intersectional campaign, and I think all the clubs are better set for it. While the Eastern clubs of the Na have become so numerous and 1l discussion hus grown so widespread that T am of the opinion that some thing should be done to standardize the ball.
