The Nationals are leaving tonight
for Chicago and after visiting ST.
Louis, Detroit and Cleveland will re-
turn here Yor a three-day series with
the Yanks. The second day has been
designated as Evening Star Boys
Club day at the park.
Every reader of the club columns
knows Babe Ruth and will want to
be on hand to watch the king of
swat clout a homer or two over the
fence. The Babe went into slump
last season, but this year is up there
again with the best of them and, in
addition TO leading the batters of the
American League in ciouting home
runs, is way up near the top in the
hist of averages. Two days ago he
got into the lirelight by catching a
ball from an airplane.
However. he is not the only attrac-
ton offered by the New York team.
The Yankees are ahead in the race
for the pennant and are looked on
as sure winners by many of the fans.
! Then, too, their first string catcher
at the present time is Hank SEVERED,
who until last Thursday was on the
roster of the Washington Club. In
his first game Hank got three hits
in four trips to the bat.
All this, added to the fact that
Washington is putting up a Desperate
fight to remain in the flag race.
means that The Evening Star Boys
Club will have plenty of fun at its
first base ball day.
