Ruth attempted to go to third on

thrown out with thirty feet to
spare.
Guess you want to go back to
New York ahead of time," Hug
gins said to Ruth as the latter
marched past him.

we're going," snapped back Ruth.
""You don't need to play any
more" replied Higgins, sending
Paschal out to the garden.
The next day Ruth asked if he
was to play and Higgins reply
was brief "No." This was con-
tinued for three days, Ruth re-
naming on the bench, not because
of weakness or illness, but wholly
as a matter of discipline. Then
came the sudden departure of
Paschal and Ruth got back into
the lineup.

He MAY Be Through.

TN the West it is generally be-
lieved that Babe Ruth will
never again be the formidable
slugger he was up to this season.
Rumors follow each other like
waves of the everlasting sea, their
whole tenor being that Ruth has
passed the apex of his career and
will not be in the league five more
years.
Ruth's illness this season was
so surrounded by secrecy that
many sceptics believe him "shot'
right now, that he will not be
in the running another year. OF
course, they nave no ground for
their belief, but that is their be-
lief and they are sticking to it.
Nevertheless, the Bambino is
expected to be in the lineup
against the Griffmen here and, If
he gets hold of the ball, may be
expected to shove a couple of
homers up into his favorite right
field bleacher, much to the disgust
Of his victim.

There is lots to be seen in

cipal pride. You can't sit down
on a park bench without won
dering if the city hasn't been
cleaning up and painting up.
First thing the Maccabees did
was to promise Washington it
would be a dry old time. That
stood to reason unless they
brought it along with 'em.
Not one point of public in
terest is being overlooked by the
visitors who haven't missed any,
thing from the city incinerator
to the District pound.
Great stress has been laid
on our resilient sidewalks which
are built to move back the
buildings in case distinguished
guests come to town.
Parks and Fairgrounds dot
the city like red and black pins
on a staff officers map. You
can sleep in any Of these with
out fear of being called an evo-
lutionist.
If the Maccabees miss any of
these civic assets, it'll be be-
