Ruth was not expected to do much
when he returned to the game during
the Nationals series in New York the
first part of this month. But reports
from the big city intimated that he
had improved considerably since. If
he did he must have suffered a re-
lapse yesterday. The Babe had to
leave the chasing of long hits that
were legitimately within his province
to Earl Combs, and once let fall at
his feet for single a looper to right
that in other seasons he could have
caught in his hip pocket.
At bat the Babe had a rough day.
True, in the fourth inning he got
the Yankees only extra base hit and
scored their lone run, but the three
other times he came to bat he famed.
Each time there were Yanks waiting
to be driven home. With a player
like Ben Paschal, who hits around
$50 and can field well, at hand, it is
odd that Ruth should be in there.
Manager Harris is giving few col
lege players the 'once over" these
days. Engelke, st. Johns infelder,
has displayed his wares before Bucky,
and gone his way. Yesterday, Spencer
Pumpelly, who used to pitch for Yale
before the World War, did some trial
heaving at the park, and today Arthur
Humphrey. a Charlotte Hall pitching
product, only 10 years old, was to
report for an exhibition. Neither of
these slabmen has been proffered a
contract. =
Rice and BIuege had their batting
eyes well cleared yesterday. each get
ting three hits. Sam slammed a homer
and two singles in five trials and
Ossie three singles in four times UP.
Bucky Harris had a perfect day at
bat. He sacrificed his first time up.

AS long as the Pittsburghs can
keep lurking behind the Giants, only
game or two away from them. they
will have an excellent chance TO win
this years pennant because they will
be in a position to deliver the knock
out punch when they play New York
themselves.
Giants Business-Like.
It is too early yet to say that the
Giants are slipping and the Pirates
or any other team, are coming. The
Giants are a well organized team, such
as the Pittsburghs are becoming. They
always know what they are in there
to accomplish. They never fool
around with no object in sight. Even
when they are four or five runs be
hind, there is method in their mad
ness, because they are working up to
another break in the game by which
they hope to accumulate flock Of
runs.
Despite the fact that the Giants had
hard shedding in the recent Western
trip, it will be noted in a review of
their games this season, and those of
many other seasons prior to this one.
that they can strike home in one
inning with all the punch needed TO
win that particular ball game.
Fatten on Dodgers.
Much of the success Of the Giant
this season as well as last has been
due to their ability to whale the
Brooklyns. Up to Wednesdays games
the Brooklyns had won only two Of
eight games played with the Giants
and at the rate they are going, they
will win only about of the sea
sons 90 from their neighbors. That
would be almost enough TO put Brook
lyn out of the pennant race if IL won
the series from all the other teams.
1t was the same way last year. If
the Brooklyns had played half as
well against the New Yorks as they
did against the other teams they
would have romped away with the
pennant. 1t is just one of those things
in base ball that are hard to explain.

Walter Ruether, prize Washington
portsider, and Urban Shocker. veter-
an spitballer who for years has been
the bane of the Nationals, were
pitching rivals at the beginning of
the engagement and they quickly
settled into a mound duel replete
with splendid slabbing, one that sub
dued attack so much that the game
lacked color.
Hurlers Stingy at Start
Ruether in the first six rounds al
lowed only four bingleS and pass
that netted the Yanks but one mark
er. During that time Shocker was
nicked for seven safeties and grant
ed two walks. but they were worth
only a tally to the champs. Harris
men were able to get on the run
ways at the start of each frame. but
III all except the third Shocker
ughtened and handily disposed of
men intent on driving in their team
mates.
But that Philadelphia score start
ed something III the seventh after
A Yankee hit off Reuther. the fifth and
last that pitcher yielded. went to
> waste. Ruether began the flareup
by opening the Nationals seventh
with terrific triple to right center
and before the session ended Sam
Rice had drilled d homer to the
same territory and the champs were
two runs to the good.
The Yanks tried to come back at
the home crowd in the eighth and
managed to force Ruethers with
drawal from the slab. Fred Mar
berry assumed the pitching burden
with one Yankee out and one perch

ter Bobby Neach filled the sacks.
but force play at the plate follow
ed, and Fritz blasted the Yankee rally
by tanning Babe Ruth.
That seventh inning rampage of
the Nationals was enough for Shock
er, SO Alec Ferguson took the slab
for the eighth against them. All he
suffered was a barrage of five hits,
including one by none other than
Marberry. and before Alec could call
it a day the Nationals had added
five tallieS to their total.
The Yanks threatened to be nasty
at the start, when the first two up
singled, but Dugan was shared off
third base and the remainder of the
frame was easy for Ruether. The
Nationals had runners on first and
inning and with none out in the sec
ond, but could get them nowhere
near the plate. 1t was different in
the third though
Bucky Harris drew d pass to start
the round and was singled to third
by Rice. When GoSlin and Judge
famed, it seemed that Shocker would
have his way again, but Bluege upset
the Yank hurler's calculations with
a single to left that counted his
manager. Peck then forced out
OSSie.
Ruth brought the Yankees to a tie
In the fourth that he began with a
two -bagger to right center. Meusel's
out let the Bambino take third. Then
HugginS sent in Paschal to bat for
Gehrig, who had whitfield his first
time up. PaSchal delivered with a
fly to Rice and the Babe tailed after
the catch when Judge cut off Sans
throw for relay instead of allowing
the ball to go on to the waiting Ruel.
Thereafter everything was fairly
quiet until the seventh, when Ruether
strode to the plate and socked the ball
TO the fence in right center. The hit
was too long for the feeble Ruth to
field, so Combs had to chase it, and
before the ball was retrieved Dutch
was pulling into third base. Nc

ARCTIC EXPLORERS
 DISLIKE THEIR SUITS
Quickly Don Their Polar Apparel When They Reach Warmer
 Climates. N

Ny-Aalcsund, Kingsbay. spitzber- zen, Aug. 22 P>- Polar explorers, 1t seems, do not like to look the part unless they are exploring.
 When Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth and their companions landed back here, they did not lose much time in shedding their Arctic apparel for everyday garb.
 True enough, they all needed slaves and baths badly, but their mctamorphoss into well-groomed men of the world was so complete as to startle those who met them soon after their arrival.
 Amundsen wore well fitting gray sports jacket. with cap, brooches, hose and brogues to match. A silk handkerchief peeped out of his breast pocket, and with his grave courtly manners he had the air of typical country squire.
 Riser-Lrsen's athletic figure show ed up brayely in dark blue serge, silk socks and patent leather shoes. Oscar Omdal also affected blue serge Jeff Dietrichson sported neat gray tweeds and Ellsworth affected a gray woolen sweater with flannel trousers He generally went about bare-head- ed. Feucht was dressed in a plain business suit that might pass in any European capital.
 Their copper-hued compilations alone betrayed an intimate acquaint- ance with Arctic blasts.
