SENATORS LOOK LIKE WINNERS Washington ream Increases Lead Over Philadelphia To •1* > Gaines Dy Henry L. Farrell (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington. Sept 2. —Washington now looks almost f>". much of a certain pennant winner in the American league as the Pittsburgh Pirates seem sure champions in the National league. The Pirates are leading the New York Giants by eight games in the Natr onal league and the chnmpon Senators ran up their lead to 4W games when yesterday they overwhelmed th • young Phladelphia Athletics in the I first game of the series that may decide the pennant. It is not safe to hazard on the form in one game. Imt there was enough superiority shown by the Senator' to make it safe to plunge a prediction that they are about in with the pennant. The Athletics looked so bad —not so much because they could not hit that old master. Walter Johnson. —but because they wore uncertain in the field; they could not handle the bail in a tight plat e and they did not know what to do with it when they did handle it. Their work had all the symptoms of a young team that has gone to pieces and their defense had none of that sparkling execution that is so characteristic of Ducky Harris’ veterans. There are seven more games to be played between the two contenders and the Senators look strong enough to do better than break even, not counting yesterday’s game. Stanley COveleskie, the former Cleveland veteran, is expected to pitch for Washington today and Connie Mack is in such desperate straits that he may have to call upon his ace. Sammy Gray. o New York Fans Want Ruth Back In Game New York. Sept. 2.—(United Press) -When Miller Huggins reaches the same frame of mind as New York ball fans seem to be in. Babe Ruth probably will begin playing baseball again The fain indicated in their reception to Ruth when he arrived here ■ yesterday and again when they shouted for him at the ball park during , the Yankee-Boston game, that whit- , ever the Babe; has done, they- are willing to forget it if he will only go ; out and bit a few home runs , Huggins announced that be will ( talk to Ruth when he decides the , Babe has "learned his lesson” and not ( before. Ruth, penitent and far from defiant plainly indicated his desire to ’moot Huggins half way” and apparently has forgotten all about his declar- ( ations that “Huggins or I will have to quit." How long Huggins will keep Ruth out of the game was more or less a question today. Ruth planned to be at the ball park again today, ready to put on a uniform and take his turn at bat, if his manager would let him. He seemed more concerned over getting back into the game than over what he had done and what would be done yhocit the $5,000 fine imposed on him. Huggins refused flatly to discuss what it was that led to Babe’s suspension, saying it was "many things" and "not just one act." ♦ ***«♦** ♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ +++++++* + 4‘ + + + + 4 Yesterday’s hero—Roger Beckinpaugh.
