Luxury Of Ruth
And Croh Proves
.'Dud' inNew York
T wO Much Touted Players
Prove of Little Value to
Yanks and Giants.

NEW YORK. Aug. 7-As time
goes on the unpleasant conviction
that the Yankees and Giants would
be considerably better off had they
denied themselves the luxury of
daily association with Babe Ruth
and Heine Groh is slowly permeat-
ing the public intellect.
The New York clubs have gone
some 100000 ION the nut" as they
say at Bailey's Beach. Newport, for
the doubtful boon of this pairs So
ciety; yet the Yanks front-ran their
way through the first six weeks OF
the race when Ruth was suspended
and it Is a matter of record that
every time Groh stubs a careless toe
the Giants start a winning streak.
Quite some capital has been
made, from time TO time. of the
fact that The Yanks sped along at
a $50 pace with Ruth off the club
and since his return have scarcely
bettered 500. The answer to thar
one Is obvious, however. When
Ruth isn't hitting. as happens to be
the case. his value to a ball club
Is negligible
Groh Proves Failure.
Groh is another matter entirely.
He - supposed TO be one Of the
best defensive third basemen Of a
decade ana his ability to hit be-
yond 800 was a secondary consid-

supposed 20 make the infeld de-
Tense fool-Proof and zeaIots Of the
press coop became 80 enamored Of
the idea that they forthwith called
It the millon-dOllar infield.
But one cannot go behind facts.
and the fact Of this matter IS that
the Giant infeld has proved Itself
more efficient with Frisch on
third and Rawlings on second than
with Groh on third and Frisch on
second. The club not only has won
considerably more ball games with
the former combination working.
nut has made more double plays. a
certain test of greater efficiency.
This is not reading a requiem
over Groh's athletic career. al
though some few critics haven't
hesitated 20 say that Heinie has
started down the neither side OF
the hill. 1t Is simply a case ot
Rawlings, the miscaued Lucky
Johnny" o. the last worlds series.
being a better second baseman than
Frisch and Frisch being a better an
around ball player than Groh.
Rawlings Real star.
Rawlings works much better
with Bancroft on double plays than
F'rLsch seems able TO do. and
frankie himself seems more at
home on third base. It can be seen.
therefore. -hat Groh IS a very ex-
pensive luxury.

thursday, is Plan
Williams and Washburn Nav
be Chosen to Play With
Tilden and Johnston.
BY DAVIS J. WALSH.

NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-(By 7. y
SIN spite Of the fact that plans
have been made 20 have the per
sonnet Of the Davis cup team known
by Thursday, 1t is a matter OF COM
mon knowledge that the selection
committee Is no nearer a definite
decision now that il was six months
ago. Then. as always. II knew that
William 7. Tilden and William NJ
Johnston would be two OF the nom
inees That was as certain as sin
itself.
However. 10 was no less certain
that the choice OF the men TO com
plete the four man team lay among
r. Norris Williams, Watson Wash
burn and Vincent Richards. Il still
lies among them, unfortunately.
The committees problems deals
only with the practicabillty OF either
Tuden and Richards or williams and
Washburn as a doubles combination,
and the outcome OF two recent trials.
IN which each won a match, has only
served TO confuse the issue.
BriIIiance Needed.
There Is, according to reports, a
rather definite leaning toward WILL
Jams and Washburn on the part OF
the committee.
Purely as a man to man PROPOSE
ton, there could be no question Of
a choice between Richards and
Washburn. The latter is as steady
as an old family horse but he Is far
from brilliant even in his most in
spired moments. Richards on the
other hand, has had one of his
greatest seasons and has beaten such
men as Wallace Johnson, Zenzo
Shimidzu and Francis T. Hunter
who disposed Of Gerald Patterson as
late as last week. However, brill
lance is not always a prime essential
Of doubles play.
It seems to feel that the greater
experience Of Williams and Wash
burn. the 1921 doubles pair, il
needed in the impending series.

when considering the most val
liable player IN the American Lea
que, the commission cannot afford
20 overlook Everett Scott, star short
stop OF the New York Yankees.
BY many Of the experts Scott is
rated as the best shortstop IN ths
Johnsonian organization, and pos
sibly in the game. Only Bancroft
Of the National League. and Peckin-
paugh and Gerber Of the American,
can dispute that right
Scott is a wonder on defense. He
IS at his best in q pinch. one OF the
greatest money players in the game.
II there is one player IN the Yankee
lineup who viii help the Yankees
regain their winning stride, that
player IS Scott.
While ont a hard ',itter, Scott is
very timely with his hi1gles. In a
pinch many pitchers Md rather
face some OF the 500 ,sltters in thu
Yankee lineup than Scott.
Although rather slight OF stature.
Scott IS the iron man Of the game.
He holds all endurance records for
steady play. having already taken
part in well over 500 successive con-
tests.
Scott does his work so easily and
minus any flourish that his great
ness is often overlooked However.
he Is sure 20 get serious considera-
ton from the commission.

While there is nothing spectacular
about Catcher Wally Schang he Is
unquestionably one of the most val
liable players on the New York club.
With Schang doing the catching
the club went right out in front.
When the team came west Il en-
Joyed a very comfortable lead and
was a hot favorite 20 repeat in the
American League.
Chicago was the first stopping
place Of the Yankees The club won
the first three games. Schang was
injured in the final game, which
was lost
With Schang on the hospital list
New York proceeded to lose 10 out
Of it's next Is games on the road.
That record is silent tribute TO
Schang's real worth
Schang is a great receiver. He
has wonderful arm, though some
times lacking in accuracy. and is one
Of the most dangerous batters in
the American League.
With Schang out Of the game tho
crack staff Of the Yankees slumped
badly. all of which merely shows
what part a crack catcher plays in
the success of a ball club.
A year ago at this time Babe
Ruth would have been tho uaiver-
sal choice as the most valuable
player in the American League.

Pen WOMEN LAUNCH
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
AGAINST DISLOYALTY
tBy Associated Press

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. "A nation
wide campaign against disloyalty to
the country of whatever nature in
the spoken OF printed work has been
inauguRted by the League of Amer
lean Pen Women, which has sent out
a call to its entire membership to join
in the campaign.
This action was taken by the nation
al officers in Washington after infor-
nation was received from government
officials that those who attempt to
destroy American institutions and
principles direct their efforts primar-
lily to the women of the country and
the students in colleges.
This feature is being given partic-
ular attention by a special committee
appointed by Mrs. Louis n. Geldert
national president, and the national
executive board. The textbooks IN
schools and colleges are being given
close scrutiny by this committee.
Many textbooks, it is stated, through
selection, fail to instruct properly in
American history, American traditions
and American ideals.
The League of American Pen Won
en- is composed of the professional
writing women of the country, authors,
editors, publishers, journalists, special
feature and syndicate writers, dra-
matte writer's, scenario writer's, public
ity and advertising experts and lect-
urers. 1t holds, because of the nature
of its membership, a tremendous ma
tional power, Mrs. Geldert states.

AUTOISTS FORBIDDEN
TO TURN ON MAIN

Chief of Police Eversman Saturday
repeated his warning that motorists
must not turn around anywhere on
Main street in the congested district.
Violations of the rule have resulted
in traffic tangles of late, and from this
time on it will be rigidly enforced, he
said.
Another thing which is forbidden by
the traffic ordinance is the parking OF
automobiles within half a block of
Eighth and Main streets. Traffic Off
Ger Martin was employed for almost
half an hour Friday in clearing out
machines which had violated the
rule. A number of motorists were
called to the police station Saturday
morning, where they were lectured
on traffic rules in this particular.
The 80 day period of grace for mo-
toists who have not yet had headlights
on their cars properly adjusted and
tested, comes to an end within a day
or two, and rigid enforcement of the
headlight law will then be taken up
by the police department.
