D0Ub[EHEADER FOR
WASH|NGT0NOUTF|T
Ty Cobb and JungaIeers Here in
Last Appearance Before
Shake-up Comes.

Two games with Ty Cobb and the
Detroit Tigers is the dope for the
Griffmen today at Georgia avenue,
| and Washington fans will probably
see the last of the present makeup
of the Jungaleers during the series
about to get under way. President
Naviu is on record as being dissatis-
fed with his 1920 ball club and pre-
pairing to shake it up before next
spring.
Among those probably now playing
their final season with the Tigers are
Oscar Stanage, DOME Bush. Bobby
Veach, and Harry Heilmann. Stan
age wanted TO quit last winter. but
was coaxed to come back for one
more whirl around the circuit. spin"
has been playing fine ball. especially
with the bat, but he breads the train
ing ordeals and is expected to retire.
DOME Bush has about run his race,
though fielding in fine fettle. His
hitting has fallen off badly. ands he
will probably drop back into the
minors.
Harry Heilmann is said to be seek
ing new scenes. and would welcome a
trade sending him to some other club
in the league.
Bobby Veach is also said to bc
slated for a trade. H0 is a valuable
outfielder and strong batsman.
There should be a glad scramble when
this veteran is offered to the other
clubs.
The Tigers are here for three days.
They will be followed by the Cleve-
land Indians, who are fast getting out
of the pennant race since the tragedy
at the Polo Grounds last week. The
Red Sox are here September and o,
and that practically closes the Wash,
ington season, for the Griffs will be
on the road for the remainder of the
year, returning to meet the Mackmen
on Sunday, October 3, in the last game
of the season.

SAYS GS"
Baer::
Powerful Arc Lights
Weaken the Babes
Lamps-Batting
Suffers as a
Result.

The white lights have grabbed
another customer.
Not the gay. white tungstens of
Broadway. but the gayer. whittier
arcs OF the movies. The pay-as-
you-enter guests of the Polo
Babe Ruth's lumber average for
the past week. The Babe is still
among the five meanest sockers in
the works with an average of .316.
which amt to be sneezed at even
by a guy with hay fever in golden
rod season.
But. being as Babe dropped off
about forty points from 400. Cap
Huston stepped forth to discover
the reason. It's still the white
lights.
WHITE LIGHTS.
Since becoming famous through
his ability TO knock a baseball into
an omlet, Ruth has signed up about
a billion washers worth of moving
picture contracts. The Babe is the
hero who dashes up on carousel
horse just as the landlord is going
to bite the chimney off the old
homestead and turn the family out
into the cold world at a tempera-
ture of 9S degrees under two
parasols
Movies require powerful calcium
lights, and Babe has been working
under 'em at night after his days
slamming is over. Cap Huston
chirps the movie dukes have had
ID Il. -.
with the result that his range find
ers have sloughed off a little.
Seeking a slow lemon meringue
in the movies is easier than put
ting the wood to a swifter in base
ball. Ruth has become accustomed
to the easy pie pitching on the cell
luloid circuit. Cap Huston doesn't
want to blk Babe out of soft
dough, but as Ruth made his rep in
baseball, and not in the movies,
Cap may have to put the dampers
on the bright lights. Either that
or Babe will have to wear blinSers
when crashing the village skinflint
for another busted record.
WORKS ONLY ONE WAY.
You never hear of any bozos
grabbing big baseball salaries on
their moving picture records, al
though Mart O'Toole got away with
il for season. Ruth had to be a
baseball star before horning in on
the movo coin. SO the six reels
of adventure and romance may be
postponed until the baseball season
is cured and Babe has hung up
record of fifty or sixty home runs.
Playing the sun field in the
Cooper-Hewitt League is a tough
assignment even for a bird who can
count the stitches in Walter john
sons pitching. If Babe breaks out
in another rash of home runs this
week you will know that he has
left the moving picture industry
fiat on it's scenario.

SHOPS TO TACKLE
NAVY'S MEN TODAY
Leading Teams in League Race
Stack Against Each Other
at Union Station.

Shops, winner of the Terminal Rail-
road Y. NJ. C. A. pennant, and Navy,
winner of the Government League

Navy is out in front at present.
while both Shop and the Treasury
nine which won over A. G. o. yester-
day by 0 TO ], are tied for second
honors.
Late reports show the Navy to be
hard up for catchers. Joe Giebel
went over to the Treasury nine. Mil
ler is out with blood poisoning and
Manager LeiZear is endeavoring to
get the other managers to agree to
let him select a catcher to replace
Giebel. who was on his reserve list.
1t is expected that Navy will pitch
Hudson, Driver. Ludwig, or Owen. The
Shops team will pitch either Hilton
or Brown.
The biggest crowd of the series is
expected out for today's contest. Both
Navy and Shops drew well and there
are many fans interested in the con-
tests who have been looking forward
to today's clash. The first meeting
between Shops and Navy as scheduled
was called off on account of rain.
Treasury's hitters had no trouble in
slamming the A. G.. o. Main building
team for a Q to l score yesterday.
Roche who pitched for the losers was
manhandled by the Treasury play
ers.
The Money Counters believe they.
are in line for pennant honors as their
team has been coming forward rap
idly since Giebel has gone behind thc
bat.

GEORGES RUNS
INTO TROUBLE
Then He Runs Right Out, 0odg-
ing Public Rough-and- Tumble
With InsuIter.

PARIS, Aug. 26.-Georgcs Carpen-
tier, the European heavyweight
champion, barely missed participa-
tion in public rough-and-tumble
fEht at Deauvile few days ago
when challenged by a former avia-
tor in the French army.
The pugilist, who has been spend
ing some of his time at the resort
since his return from the United
States, accidentally elbowed the
former aviator in a crowd around one
of the gaming tables at the Casino.
The aviator became loudly resent
ful and gave Carpenter a vigorous
denunciation. He charged the cham
pion with spending all his time in
Paris during. the war and with never
having been at the front
He wound up by challenging Car
pentier to fight on the spot.
During the hubbub that followed
Carpenter slipped away and dsap-
peared.
Carpenter has been the most popu-
lar figure at Deauville. He was be-
sieged by the fashionable visitors to
the resort who clamored for dances.
The champion, together with his
manager, Francois Descamps, will
leave France September on La Lor-
raine of the French line for the United
states.
Georges Carpenter enlisted in the
French army at the outbreak of the
war, although too young to be called
with his regiment. He was at first
assigned to duty as chauffeur for an
officer, but later, at his own request,
was transferred to the aviation serv-
ice, where he took part in several en-
gagements and was wounded. He has
been decorated with the croix de
guerre for valor in action while di-
recting artillery fire.
He left the aviation service when
ordered to the rear because of ILL
ness and finished service as an ath-
letic instructor.

CAR OF WHEAT Is
WORTH MUCH AS FARM

FORT WILLIAM, Ont. Oct. Is.
(By International News Service.)-
A carload of wheat worth a good
farm, recently rolled into the Fort
William yards as part Of n freight
train bearing the first fruits of the
Western Canadian harvest.
The car was one of the new style
Canadian Pacific railway hoppers. 1t
was a giant, as big as a cottage, and
If divided up into rooms might pro-
vide comfortable living quarters for
a fair-sized family. 1t contained
$500 bushels of No. l Northern wheat
loaded in the Rathwell district, in
the heart of the grain belt of Mani
toba. 1t was the largest and most
valuable carload of wheat that ever
came east from the Canadian
prairies. The wheat sold for $7,150.
There are thousands of acres of
good farmlands in Western Canada
that sell for $50 an acre. On this
basis the money represented in this
one carload of wheat would buy a
farm of EOS acres.
