GAMES TODAY

The Washington times., 1927-09-29

However, ] am not speaking in
my sensationally offhand fashion.
There are several factors that may
prevent George from doing what he
would and at least. one or two of
them may be on the payroll of the
Washington Ball Club. Suppose.
too, it rains today, tomorrow or
the next day The game will be
out and so probably will be George S
record.
He Is in the painful position
Of having all to gain and plenty
to lose.
As a matter OF fact. fate wasn't
with him when it brought the
Senators here for the final series
of the year, a series that will have
no bearing on anything except as
to whether Ruth's home run total
will range ahead to a new record
of so, equal his old record OF SIS
or remain where it is at 81. Fate
anyhow. could have made an easier
cinch, so to speak, than the Wash
ington pitchers.
They have limited Ruth to six
home runs all year, total which,
If apportioned strictly among the
other clubs of the American League.
would have given the young man a
count of forty-two for the season,
instead of fifty-seyen. Washington
pitching has been very firm with
the boy friend this year.
In fact. George has made only
four homers off members of the
staff who operated throughout the
year and three of them were made
off gent, Hollis Thurston, who
no longer counts himself a first
stringer. The other two were made
off the delivery of Tom Zachary
while he was pitching for the st
Louis Browns.
The left handler, having work
ed a shutOut against the Browns
several days ago, probably will
get the nod from Stanley Harris
to open fire on the Yanks and
Ruth today.
This isn't the worst break in the
world for George. He has faced
Zachary many times and oft, anG
in addition to his pair Of homers
this year. he has smitten the gem
for quite a few home runs in his
time. Zachary is by no means
immune to the Ruth influence.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Sept. a.
While the Naval Academy football
team made special preparation for
the game against Davis and Elkins,
and will point up even moi e carefully
for the game with Drake next Sat.
urday, the actual outlook is towards
the game with Notre Dame, which
is to be played in Baltimore on oc-
tober Is.
1t is the first game between the
Naval Academy and Notre Dame,
and the first visit Of the latter team
to this section. The game will be by
far the most important played up to
that point In the season. and the ad.
vance sale Of tickets indicates that
it is attracting great interest.
In conversation with Comdr. Jonas
II. Ingram, director OF athletics at
the Naval Academy, Coach Reckne
admitted that he expects a team Of
unusual strength this season, and
TINS estimate is backed up by Rip
Miller of the great 1924 Notre Dame
team, now an assistant coach at the
Naval Academy.
The Navy line from tackle to
tackle is hardly up to the stand
ard. Bill Ingram has backs and
ends who know his elusive and
deceptive style Of play.
The team has two big and fast
fellows in Lloyd and Clifton, and q
large number of fast, alert and
clever running backs. It is hoped
that the transfer OF Lloyd from the
end position to the backfield win
prove advantageous.
Weighing over 200 pounds and
swift enough to cover 100 yards in
10 seconds, Lloyd is very active and
has a great eye for the ball. He Il
the best punter on the squad. and
an excellent passer and receiver.
Lloyd promises to be the most useful
player on the Navy team this wear
Clifton. a Kentuckian. weiebinr

chief ground gamer on the plebe
team last season, and should he \
very valuable man in the varsity
backfield this year. Big men have
been rather rare in Navy backfields,
but it has two this year who are
also fast and active.
