Ruth's First Game
It was Ruth's first game in the
National League, and he faced
Carl Hubbell, left.handed ace OF
the Giants.
But names mean nothing to
Ruth when the ball is over the
plate. He figured in the scoring
of every one of the Braves runs.
He drove three runs, scoring ur'

the game arose.
While it was quite appar-
ent to everybody else vitality
concerned that 80 degrees
Fahrenheit was no temper
allure in which to ask ball
players to perform or spec
tators to sit for two hours to
watch, Bucky Harris was
champing at the bit and beg
ging Clark Griffith not to
cancel the start.
The man was actually disap-
pointed that his club couldn't
get under way at the hour
scheduled. When you take into
consideration that Bucky has
been a major Lacquer for 16
years and still becomes irritated
at delays, you gather a fair idea
Of the earnestness with which
he approaches his tasks.
Splendid Spirit
Such an intent viewpoint.

bound to augur good for the
Griffmen this season. If Bucky
can Undue his chattels in uni
form with that same desire to
"go," it will require lots of
heatings to keep the team in the
Subdued place so many OF the
critics have picked as Washing
tons berth this season.
And speaking of Washington's
chances, President Bill Har-
ridge, Of the American League,
who warmed himself in GriffS
office yesterday afternoon, says
Washington is one of the hard
est teams in the league this year
to handicap.
It is the Harridge thought
that the teams true strength
can't be gagged because Of in
juries last year prevented it
from revealing its actual worth.
Difficult to Clock
Thus, the Griffs appear to be
the "unknownS" Of the league
what Joe Judge 10 weeks ago
pronounced as the surprise club
that might fool a lot Of fans.
Without making any picks,
because as league president Mr..
Harridge hardly dare have pref
erences or even favorites, he
does think we'll of the Boston
Red Sox chances, looking to
their "big four" pitching corps
of Grove, Terrell, Walberg and
Pipgras to click for Joe Cronin
this season.
Mr.. Harridge also has a fancy
for Walter Johnson's Cleveland

have the best team on paper;
however, he sees the absence of

Saturday at 2::30 p. m.
There will be five new faces
in the starting array of the
Johnny ten that won last year,

Only SLIDER, Rombro, Thomas
and Christhilf were Maryland
regulars in 1884 and only the first
three named and Harold are
seniors, the rest being juniors and

Kesmodel, Lamond, Boucher,
Donohue and Smith were out

ago, the last named being the
country's leading scorer.
st. Johns is particularly
favored on the defense, with
Lamond, Boucher and Donohue,
a trio of fine and tried athletes,
playing their fourth year of
varsity lacrosse. This was made
possible by the abrogation by st.
Johns of the freshman rule.
If there is any edge apparent
in Saturdays game it is in st.
Johns more veteran defense, as
both appear to have attacks that
will test the best in the game.
Maryland has averaged II goals
in it's three games, while St.
Johns has counted at the rate
of 1879 per contest in four.
This makes a free scoring con-
test, such as the Maryland-Mount
Washington clash, in prospect
for Saturday.
