The Banner welcomes country cor
respondence from the various COM
munities but we must insist on
knowing who it is that is sending in
the items, not necessarily for publi-
cation, but so we can have a record
of whom it is received from. Occas-
ionally some little dig" slips in, Of
ten innocent looking to us who do not
know exact details of affairs in every
community, and because these digs"
sometimes cause trouble, the "editor"
gets in bad. If you are ashamed to
sign your name to it, don't send it in,
because we will refuse to recognize
them.

NAVY YARD GAMES
FOR NEXT MONTH
Recreation Meet Postponed by
Rain to Be Decided Upon
Tomorrow Night.

Navy Yard Recreation League Of
hcials gather tomorrow at Uncle
Sans big machine shop TO decide
upon the track meet which was run
to shelter Saturday afternoon when
the heavens opened and rain fell in
torrents.
Harry Lc Clair and his efficient
corps of officials will settle upon an
early date, il is said. Saturday is
probably out of the question for tn.
Navy Yarders because of the fact that
they have a big baseball game sched-
ulcd with the knickerbockers for the
benefit of Casualty Hospital.
This years meet is the third annual
affair of the Navy Yard Recreation
League. The meet is up to the un-
usually high standards, and from in
dications Saturday was to have sur
passed even last years carnival
1t is expected that the affair Will
be staged some time next month,
when the athletes can get the Central
High stadium. Next year 1t Is eX-
pected that the Navy Yard League
will have its own field.

seventy eight brawny athletes, and a
large complement of reserve officers
and men aboard, the U. S. S. Frederick
sailed from this port today for the
Olympic games at Antwerp.
Most of the athletes aboard arc the
navy's own, and the navy is exceed
ingly proud of them. Among the last
arrivals were the members of the
navy's wonderful rowing crew which
captured first honors in Saturdays
event at Lake Quinsigamond.
Thirty-one navy men have qualified

WASHINGTON CANOE CLUB
PADDLERS OUT IN FRONT
Take Thirteen of Fourteen Events
In Regatta on Tidal Basin
With Ease.

Washington Canoe Club paddlers
will probably never be given credit
for being as good as they are. 1t
matters little whether they compete
here or in other cities. They never
lose. Once in while the Washing
ton Canoe Club will drop a race.
They stage dandy races between
themselves in every regatta ana
generally get first and second. If
there are three W. c. c. entries IN the
race they generally gain all three
places. This goes whether the Nash-
ington men are competing here. as
they did yesterday, or in Philadel-
phia or New York. They arc almost
unbeatable.
Yesterday on the Tidal Basin nine
different clubs were entered in the
fourteen canoe events Thirteen of
them went to the Washington Canoe
Club paddIcrs. Ross, OF the Algon-
quin Club, and Elliott, OF the Arun-
dels, OF Baltimore, were first and
second in the junior singles. They
get their names in the paper. In this
race Richter, of the Washington
Canoe Club, was third. He will prob
ably be brought up at a board meet.
ing and be questioned as to why he
didn't keep up the standard of the
club for taking nothing less than
first or second place in regatta.
The affair was successful and was
a departure from the usual regattas
staged here. The start was in front
of the Tidal Basin Bathing Beach,
while the finish was at the foot OF
Seventeenth street.

BLAMES CATCHERS
FOR RUTH'S SWATS
Connie Mack Thinks Billy SuIIi-
van Would Have Fooled King
of SmggerS.

"Why is Ruth making so many
home runs?" was asked Connie Mack,
manager OF the Athletics.
Because he is Wonderful timer
OF the ball" replied Mack. He has
more bad balls put up to him than
any man in either league. so many.
in fact, that he has to hit some OF
them or walk. That shows he is a
better batter than most people think.
He has made only two home runs off
our pitchers, and on one CT these the
crowd was yelling. Let him hit it,
so my catcher held both hands open
like a basket and the pitcher grooved
ii. Ruth put ii somewhere over the
fence. My catcher told me he didn't
mean to call for groove, but was
trying to fool Ruth. The pitcher put
it there. so the boys can't pull that
stuff on me. Two home runs off my
club leaves the rest for the other six
clubs to answer for"
1t was put up to Mack that there
must be pitched balls on which ii is
impossible to make home run. Mack
demurred at this until pointed out
that Filder Jones's policy of play
was to get one run. then sit tight on
defense. If Billy Sullivan. his catch
err, had called for pitches which could
be turned into home runs he would
have been decidedly unpopular with
Jones. Mack admitted there could be
such pitching and thought his pitch
ers had produced it.
1t develops the catchcrs have a
share of suspicion falling on them
for ALL these home runs in the Amer
lean League. For instance, take the
home runs made off Williams last
week in the game against the white
in h,
kins, the catcher. He just walloped it
over Jackson's head. or course Will
liams was wild at the start and the
signal may not have called for that
ball, but the chances are it did and
that Williams did not cross his catch
er.
Speaking OF crossing the catcher re-
calls the case of Wilkinson, n Sox
pitcher. He put one strike over on
Ruth and thought he could strike him
out, so he put another one there and
it left the park bound for neighboring
roofs. This lost the game and the
pitchers chance to appear as reg
ular.
But the obstinate fact remains that
Ruth could hit such a pitched ball for
a homer. Then why was it called for
the first time? Billy Sullivan would
hardly have taken such a chance. II
Sullivan were going good today and
could catch all the games against
Ruth, the chances are Ruth would
cease making so many home runs.
Unquestionably part OF the blame
for this apparent weakness for home
runs in the American League is to be
put on the catchers. They are not
working their brains the entire nine
innings.
