The Terminal Morning and
Evening circuits start a series to-
day for the championship Of the
Terminal Railroad. Just a family
affair, so don't get excited, be-
tween the Pullman tossers, Ter.
minal Evening League titlehold-
ers, and the Capital Traction
baseballers, recent winners Of the
Terminal Morning League banner.
The two teams conduct this
little series every year. It's just
between themselves and has no
bearing on which should or would
represent the Terminal in the
coming weekday league cham
pionShips. Both teams will enter
just the same, so that's that.
The first of these games
will begin this morning, in
fact, the teams are probably
playing right now, with the
second engagement listed to"
morrow evening at the more
familiar Sis hour for teams
of the weekday group.
The third game, If it will be
necessary, will be played Friday
at Sis p. m. The scene for these
engagements is the Terminal Y
diamond, or Union Station dia-
mond, as it is better known.
The Pullman nine, Terminal
Evening League champions, hope
to add at least two more to their
sensational record for the year
of % straight Victories. They
mean to do it with either Babe
Clapper or Eddie CollifloWer on
the mound.
The Capital Traction nine re-
Gently won the Terminal Morning
League championship, beating out
Railway Mail Service in series
of games which went the Sched-
uled limit--five.
The Capital Traction toss
ers send out a warning in
the person Of Lefty White,
who has pitched them to
many victories this year.
White will probably hurl this
morning with McKenna be-
hind the bat. Tomorrow
Brown will no doubt hurI.
The series is chuck full Of In
tereSt. The many employees of
the Terminal Company have
talked. about it for weeks and
are all ready for a trio of happy
days. Whether the Capital Trac-
tions are able to beat the Pull
mans or not, the games will give
both teams the practice they
want prior to their appearances
in the city series starting, as said
before, next week.

CUBS OUTSCORE
DODGERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-When
two ball clubs get together and
one outhits. outfields and out
games the other the result can't
possibly be written otherwise
than it is blackboarded today
Chicago, 3: Brooklyn, 2.
With the Cubs a full game In
the lead now, they tangle again
this afternoon and unless the
Robins rally sharply they will
find themselves fluttering gently
downward past the threatening
Giants. It's a mortal cinch the
Dodgers will be ensconced in
third place if they do not give
better support than afforded the
lucklesS Dazzy Vance yesterday
for Flowers two errors gave the
Bruins two unearned counters
and BisSonette's wretched base
running was the straw that COM
pletely bumped the Dazzmarine'S
fate. Sheriff Blake, usually an
in-and-outer, pitched better ball
than Vance and with Blake the
honors went to Riggs Stephenson,
who Socked the winesap in the
eleventh inning to score the run
that won.
Babe Ruth won for the
Yankees over Detroit, 6 to S.
by pasting homer No. 43 and
later a single in the ninth
that broke q tie score.

Registers Ace ON
3O4-Yard Hole
At Rock Greek

Probably the honor of scoring
the longest ihole-in-one on a
District golf course goes to
Ralph ThraSher, of the Munich
pal Architect Department.
Playing the Rock Creek Park
course, ThraSher made. an ace
on the No. / hole of Course A,
which measures 304 yards.
Using a driver, his tee shot got
plenty of roll downhill and
ran straight into the cup.
The other members of the
foursome were Z. D. Moore,
Chick ODaniels and Johnny

STATES TASK
!. TOUGH THIS
YEAR
BY BABE RUTH

eN6W &1N4At @AA0ss SSa ~~O~"-~
like a lot of the fans are getting
all hot and bothered over my
All.America team this year. In
all the years that I've been pick
ing these teams, I don't believe I
ever saw so much interest among
the fans as this year.
And I don't know that I ever
faced a tougher job in making my
selections, either. Seems as
though the leagues are just full of
stars this season, and picking 10
men out Of all that array is
mighty tough, believe me. Take
outfielders, for instance. In right
field there's KLEIN. and Herman,
and Waner, and Stephenson, and
OFT, and Heilmann, and Miller,
and Jolley, and Combs, just to
mention few Of them. And yet
only one man can get the job and
all: the others will have to be left
off.
It's the same in the other posi-
tiot1s, too. In a lot of seasons
there have been five or six men
who were standoutS at the various
positions. That made the job
fairly easy. But this year there
are only two or three players who
stand out so much that you don't
have to consider anyone else.
And for all the other positions
it's a. real dog fight.
A lot Of fans, writing in to
me, want to know If 1 will
pick more American League
layers than / do National.
Since / haven't picked my
team yet I can't answer that
question except to say that
when II comes to making the
selections I'm not influenced
one way or another by the
league . played happens to
be playing in.
All I'm concerned in is, picking
the 10 men. who. to my mind,
are the. best men at their posi-
tions in baseball, and whether
they happen to be American
Leaguers or National LeaSuers
don't make a particle of differ
ence. All I care is that they've
got to be good--and in my
opinion be better at their job
than any one else in either
league.
But I guess I had better be
careful In discussing this team
or / might tip off to some Of you
snmethang that I shouldn't. So
I'll just content myself by saying
that the job seems to get tougher
Year by year and this year it
threatens to be the toughest Of
the lot.
But let's leave the All
America team for while
and take q look at the pen
naIAt race. I've got q hunch
that the following two weeks
will just about tell the story
~ to whether or not the
Cubs are going to repeat in
the National League. II
they're going to win they've
got to make their real bid
right now while they have
the advantage Of playing at
home while the Giants and
Dodgers are on the road.
AS for the Giants-well it's all
q question Of pitching. Outside
the mound staff think McGraw
has the best balanced club in the
league. He has a corking infield
and his outfield, while it isn't as
great as some others, 1t is mighty
good. Pitching will make or
break the Giants and no one
can foresee just which it will be.
But regardless Of what hap
pens it's a corking race-and it's
very likely to stay close and
hard fought right down to the
finish. Regardless of which team
wins you can get right now that
there won't be more than five
games difference between the
winners and the third place team
when it's all over.

II Babe Herman is the best

Babe Ruth All-American team?
If Bob Grove wins more ball

Lyons is with q near tail ender

These are only two Of the ques-

one will have to be use your

Here's letter that shows the
right spirit:
Dear Editor:
"WeI, here am again this

But don't quit, Norman, If you

should have and come back
stronger than ever next year.
Jimmy Rothberg wants to know
if schoolboys can compete. He
didn't read the rules as carefully
as he should. Yes. Jimmy, any
one can enter a selection.
Mrs. Lucia MacLain claims she
