SPORTS."® Ball Fans Have Three Focal Points : Dozen Heavyweigh THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3. 1928, ' WATCH BABE RUTH, GARDS AND MACKS Bids for Home-Run Record and Major Pennants Oc- cupying Rooters. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. HE lot of questions now which a saback at the mom de the revamped kees eague pen- if Babe Ruth on hanging t they used derpinni ngs of any of hi plishments in the Moreover, he alw strong at the end of the sea- longest hitter the game ever saw retains his health and strength here appears to be no reason why he not once more break all records, re generations a peak about { Mount Everest at whicl rere never has been but one Babe Ru Mack's Strategy Effective. The Athletics have been wonderful ball. Connie Mack's strategy of benching eal veterans and giv- ing his voungsters a chance has worked and the team has shown great spirit. If the Mackmen had team aside from the Yankees to overhaul I should say that their chances for the pennants were bright As it is, the best that reason can give them is a battling hope. One trouble is that the Athletics have not been able to beat their chief The teams have four games t to play and these are scheduled for New York. To my mind the Mackmen | st get better than an even break these remaining contests to stand ything like an even chance. The Yankees are a peculiar team. The players often appear to be care- less. happy-go-lucky lot. but they have the faculty of playing their best when danger threatens. Their pitchers cer- tainly have not been performing in a manner which will get them into any hall.of fame, but with that outfit pitch- ers are not as important as they are with other clubs At any moment the hitters are likely to break loose and blast the o twirlers out of their shoes.

Between Cards and Giants. St. Louis, Cincinnati, New York and Chicago undoubtedly will fight it out in the National League and should make & close finish of it. In spite of the fact that the Reds have a great pitching staff, I am still surprised to see them where they are. Chicago would stand a better chance if the club liad more games left on its home grounds. The real struggle looks to be between St. Louis and New York They say that Alexander hasn't the old-time stuff, but I notice that the veteran is getting by. and results are all that show in the standing. New York's best chance is in its stay at home during the closing moments of the race. MeGraw has a fighting club. If St louis weakens, the Giants may slip through, but those Cards of strength and hitting power, and don't let anybody tell you they haven't Fight followers might be interested his bout with Tun- cerning his lack have been greatly ribs are reported of health appear exaggerated.
