The Washington times., 1927-08-22

The gist of it, as seen by the typos,
lis this: any all-star team named
from the seven other clubs of the
American League wouldn't approach
the Yankee combination in strength.
And, including the players of both
major leagues, one could select most
of the Yankees and still have a lot
of backing for their judgment.
Babe Ruth. according to the con.
test rules, is barred from the selec-
lions, but who would pass him up in
an All-American lineup? What out.
fielders in either league are so much
better than Meusel and Combs as
to make them undisputed choices?
Where is the first baseman who
can outshine Gehrig. or the second
baseman who dwarfs Lazzeri. Frisch
and Hornsby? Not according to a
host of fans in the Babe Ruth con.
test. although a majority favor
Frisch.
Jumping Joe Dugan surely ranks
well as a third baseman, but hardly
can be placed this year in a class
with Traynor, OF the Pirates. There's
a weak spot in the Yankee lineup,
considered from an all-star angle,
and the same may be said of short
stop where Koenig is the regular.
Hoyt. Pennock and Ruether are
getting lots of support from the con-
test fans for the two pitching berths
permitted. None of the Yankee
catchers. however, is getting a
strong "play."

Bannockburn, as everyone knows,
has a new and stiff 18-hole golf
course. BY unique way of intro
ducing the layout, heads of the Glen
Echo organization arranged a spe.
cia1 match with Beaver Dam club
men,
1t is useless to state, in detail, the
result of the match, but as matter
of information. Blackburn laid on
a nifty plastering by 1868 which was
altogether an unfriendly way to
treat specially invited guests:

Many a first-class golfer has been
cocky enough to beat the par. but
par has withstood the driving and
putting of the best. Lionel Walker,
club professional, has had the best
score over the new IS holes. 1t was
a a. George Noigt. on his game,
finished with IS, likewise Cliff Nc
Kimmie. with his long wood shots
and powerful iron play. His IS was
good, but it failed-to break par. In
yesterdays matches, Leo Pass turned
in a 76. 1t was his first card at
that count since the course was
opened.
OF another irter.club event it can
be said that Argyle players, who
defeated the Manor club team at
Argyle recently, removed all room
for doubt as to the best linksmen in
setto so arranged.

Charley Warren. the same who
used to play lot of shOrtstOp
for the crack Union Printers
team, was one of the typos in
the discussion at luncheon. He
gave just about the consensus
of the gang when he said:
The Washington times., 1927-08-22

"If the Yankees could choose from
all the other clubs of the American
and National leagues they could
strengthen themselves by putting
Frisch, of the Cardinals, on second
base and shifting Lazzeri to short;
put Ruel, of the Griffs, or Hartnett
of the Cubs, behind the bat; Paul
Waner. of the Cubs. in centerfield,
and Traynor, of the Pirates on third
Root, of the Cubs, would help the
pitching staff. And I'm not so GER
tain that the Yankee outfield isn't
the best as it stands"
However, here are some more Of
the line-ups submitted by fans at.
tempting to guess the lineup Babe
Ruth will name and thereby win free
trips to the first block of world
series games:
The Washington times., 1927-08-22

Argyle mopped up in the
first match, three ways. e.
HeitnlilIer and Forrest ThOHap-
SON did the battling for Argyle.
In the second match the family
of Peacock did q doubles-act
and won everything but best
ball, which was all even. e.
M. McClelland scored for Manor
in the third match, taking
another part of the Peacock
family i'm to his confidence by
the way of defeating him 1 up.
So the result Of weekend inter
club matches saw Argyle making
sure its first victory was hi
and miss affair and par for the
new Bannockburn course is still
and Bannockburn play
erS on the right side--Winners.
The Washington times., 1927-08-22

II is an old but true story
that golfers play their best on
their home course, and it is true
they know every little trick to
work to an advantage. But
with Argyle players, they seem
to have the uncanny ability to
score victories wherever they
drag out their clubs.
The Washington times., 1927-08-22

And they dragged out their
clubs at Manor, and pushed over
a III to So victory. Manor, perhaps,
was lost without the aid of their
ace, A. l.. Houghton who happens

Say It With
Canned Food

With an eye to the fact that "civi-
liked man can not live without
cooks" friends giving showers fol
the bride-to-be have sometimes pre-
sented her a cook book or perhaps
set of priced recipes; but soror-
ity in Washington, D. c., a few days
ago did something just little more
practical.
The members of the sorority knew
that the young couple we're fond of
good things to eat. A kitchen
shower had already provided pots
pans, kettles and -other cooking
equipment. China, silver and linen
showers had gone far toward pro-
viding for the dining room. Almost
everything was at hand, except the
actual things to eat.
Then happy idea came to one
Girl, and she Immediately an
10Wlced a canned food shower. 1t
vas something new, something
PRACTICAL, and it "took." Dozens of
cans Of soups, vegetables, fruits, sea
foods, condiments and jellies, made
up the shower. To avoid duplica-
ton the brides friends compared
notes before selecting their gift and
the result was collection of canned
foods that included not only the
well-known staples, but many vari-
cites with which the ordinary cook
is none too familiar.
