—|ABE RUTH has the pleasing D habit of rising to the occa- [ u 1 sion. Wnen the Yanks play an exhibition game, the fans turn out in large numbers in the hope that Babe will

hit one for them. He seldom fails. Sometimes h e hits two. Recently when New York and Washington met in what was regarded as a crucial series, even though the Yanks were about 11 games ahead at the time, the Babe made his pres-

ence felt. In baseball circles, the impression prevails that the team to win the first game of an important series has a distinct advantage. It usually works out that way. Prior

to the Yanks versus Nationals series, Ruth had gone hitless in three consecutive games. New York won the first game 4-3 and all the Babe did was drive in all four runs. He scored the first run with a single and later hit a home run with two on. Washington had been playing great ball and hoped to make a clean sweep of the series, but New York won three out of four and increased its lead by two games. Ruth was the big reason for the Yanks’ triumph. ST the' close of last season, Owner Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox rebuilt his ball park, so it would seat 50,000 instead of 35,000. In order to provide the extra seating capacity, it was necessary to double-deck the park all the way round. When it was finished, the architects, baseball fans by the way, pointed to the right field section and said, “there is a barrier Babe Ruth will never clear with one of his drives.” Dunng the second trip of the Yankees to Chicago, Ruth in batting practice, hit one far over the double deck stands in right field. The alibi was that the pitcher was “grooving” the fast one for Ruth, that he would never turn the crick in a regular game. Recently, in the first game of the third trip of New York to Chicago, Ruth performed the feat that was termed impossible. No pitcher in the American League throws a speedier ball than Thomas of the White Sox. Ruth converted one of his offerings into his longest Chicago home run. Yes, sir! The Babe Jias a habit of rising to the occasion and doing the seemingly impossible. He’s just full of those tricks. p— —| AtBE’S record-breaking ChiI D cago home run lessened the I | gap between him and Gehrig to a single circuit drive. The following day he broke up an eleveninning game with a homer to tie Gehrig. It also proved that the best of architects can make mistakes in computing stress and distance where a baseball is concerned. The struggle between Ruth and Gehrig has added considerable zest to what has been a rather dull race In the American League. Everybody seems to be enjoying the hectic struggle for supremacy, American League pitchers excepted. Since Rut|i has been far more successful on the road than Gehrig in making home runs it would occasion no great surprise if the cham-

pion passed the challenger before the New York club gets back to the Yankee Stadium. Gehrig has done his best slugging at home. The Yankee Stadium seems to be made to order for him. The schedule calls for a majority of the remaining games to be played at home. If “Larruping Lou” continues to run true to form this will be in his favor. Knowing Ruth’s penchant for delivering in the crisis, however, he still is better than even money to retain his crown.

Bobby Jones and Von Elm Favorites as National Amateur Starts

Bucs Slash at Chicago Cubs* Lead Bushmen Shave Another Half Game Off Leaders’ Advantage. By Timet Special The Pittsburgh Pirates’ 2-to-l victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers advanced them to within three games of the league-leading Chicago Cubs, who were idle, because of the Massachusetts blue laws. The victory gave the Buccaneers a clean sweep of the two-game series. The game was a pitchers’ battle between Carmen Hill, who allowed seven hits, and Bill Doak, who gave eight. Wright’s single in the ninth, scoring Cuyler, decided the affair. The New York Giants advanced to within a game of the third place Cardinals, who were idle, by taking a double-header from Cincinnati, 9 to 8 and 6 to 1. Leslie Mann’s pinch hit double in the ninth, scoring three runs, decided the first contest. Mann’s home run with a man on third also featured the second game. Detroit scored its eleventh consecutive victory by defeating Washington, 11 to 4, the Tigers thereby tightening their hold on second place. Harry Heilmann with two singles and a double in four times up led the Tigers’ attack. The winning streak of the St. Louis Browns was run to six straight by virtue of their double defeat of the Boston Red Sox, 5 to 0, and 4 to 3. Vangilder’s fine pitching in the first game was the high spot of the day. Willis Hudlin’s great relief pitching enabled the Cleveland Indians to defeat the New York Yankees, 7 to 4. Hudlin relieved Buckeye with the bases full and none out. The Yankees succeeded in scoring but one run before he retired the side, after which he allowed, but two hits. Babe Ruth was forced out of the game in the first inning when he injured his back in swinging at a pitched ball. Willie Kamm’s error on Cochrane’s pop fly in the first inning permitted the Philadelphia Athletics to score four runs, after which they never were headed in their 8 to 6 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Extra base hitting by both the Sox and Athletics kept a constant stream of pitchers coming ihto the game. Seven in all were used. Mrs . Pressler Is New Golf Champ By Times Special LAKE GENEVA, Wis., Aug. 22. Mrs. Harry Pressler, Los Angeles, won the women’s Western golf championship here Saturday by flashing to a 5 and 4 victory over Bernice Wall, of Oshkosh, Wis., in the final thiity-six hole match. The feature of Mrs. Pressler’s victory was the fact that the new champion took up the links sport but three years ago. Her drives easily outdistanced those of Miss Wall. The new title holder succeeds Miss Dorothy Page, of Madison, Wis.

YANKS’ YOUNG BALL CLUB DANGEROUS FOR YEARS YET Huggins Building for Future With Addition of Young Hurlers—Feared by American League.

For years, National League clubs raved and ranted over the way John. McGraw-and his New York Giants dominated that organization. That feeling was first aroused back in 1911 when McGraw started a three-year championship regime. It became more pronounced when he won four pennants in a row, starting with 1921 and ending with 1924. However, it takes more than mere conversation to beat ball clubs managed by John McGraw. Other National League clubs realized action in developing players was the only way to terminate his reign. Huggins Acts For over twenty years the showing of the New York entry in the American League was just the opposite. Although the club several times had threatened, It always faltered in the stretch. Then along came Miller Huggins to put the Yankees on the map, win over New York prestige to the American League, and cause rival club owners and managers to set up the same wail that for years was heard in the National about the supremacy of McGraw and the (jiants. Taking charge of the New York club in 1918, Miller Huggins finished fourth in his first year. He followed this up by being third twice. In 1921 he put over his first pennant and proceeded to win three in a row. Washington stopped his run of successes in 1924, the Yanks being a good second. Down in Over Year Then came the collapse of the Yankee machine. In one short year, a pennant contender in 1924, dropped to seventh place in 1925. Huggins saw the handwriting on the wall and in the middle of that year set about to rebuild his fences with Babe Ruth as his outstanding star. Huggins tempted fate and invited criticism by making over his infield. Three of his veteran stars, Pipp at first, Ward at second and Scott at

Heavy Rain Course During Night—Stops in Morning. JOHNSTON HOLDS LEAD Chicago Golfer Paves Way 1 • for First Nine. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent MINIKAHDA CLI/B, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 22.—Smashing his drives straight down the fairway and holing long putts Harrison (Jimmy). Johnston led the early quliflers in the first nine holes of the national amateur championship tournament here today. He scored a 35 par for the nine, a good card, considering the clow, water-soaked greens and heavy fairways. Dick Jones of New York City, and John Russell, Milwaukee, and Paul Haviland of Bridgeport, Conn., scored 37, two strokes more than Johnston. Scores first nine holes: John Redick, Omaha, 43; Ray Daly, Flossmoor, Chicago, 41; John Vavra, Cedar Rapids, lowa, 39; Morgan Manchester, Madison, Wis., 44; Arthur Yates, Rochester, N. Y., 39. Wait for Stars Heavy rain which had soaked the course during the night, stopped shortly before the first players tc%l off. The un came out for a moment, butlclouds obscured it almost immediatay and the rain seemed likely to start at any time. A gallery of about 1,000 gathered around the first tee, but most of them were uninterested in the first golfers, waiting for the favorites to start off. George Von Elm, defending Champion, spored a 39. His shooting was typical of others, who wallowed about the heavy course. Raymond J. Daly, Chicago, turned in the first good card for the complete eighteen holes. He had a 75, three over par. George Von Elm, defending champion, who hails from Los Angeles, and Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, twice amateur title holder and present British open champion, were the favorites as play opened, with George Voight of Washington given a very good chance. Good for Atlanta Over the period of the past half dozen years, Jones has shown the greatest consistency of any living player. Von Elm may be his superior in the use of iron clubs, but the Minikahda Club course offers little opportunity for those. Wooden club shots should predominate, and with his timber sticks Jones is pretty much every golfer’s master. Because of his sure putting touch, Voight is given an excellent chance to finish well up. His 71 for the practice round Sunday was the best score turned in for the dajr. Next to Voight’s 71 came Von Elm’s 72. The Pacific Coast golfer sank a 12-foot putt on the home green to square a foursome match in which he and Bob Gardner were Opposed by Bobby Jones and Max Marston. Jones’ 73, however, elated the large following Bobby always has. as there was talk here that Bobby was overgolfed. The 73 was remarkable considering Eobby spent quite a bit of his time visiting rand tjaps. There were those, as always, who maintained Bobby’s frequent visits to the traps was due to a desire on his part to become accustomed to them. SOLD TO REDS fill United Press SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 22.—Everett “Pid” Purdy, leading Seattle outfielder, has been sold to the Cincinnati Reds for an unannounced cash consideration and one player. He will report before Aug. 31.

short, were replaced by Gehrig. Lazieri and Koenig. Dugan alone remains of Jhe old pennant winning combination and Huggins has two capable "substitutes for him in Wera and Gazella. Through the addition of young blood, Huggins pulled a stunt that is without parallel in the majors. He took the seventh place club of 1925 and proceeded to win a pennant with it the following year. He is practically assured of another championship this season. Must Spend Money It is up to the rival club owners and managers who are decrying the almost perpetual success of the Yankees in winning pennants to do more than spread conversation. It takes action to stop New York. Oth,er clubs must turn loose the money bags and develop for the future. Having repaired his infield fences, Huggins is now giving much thought to his battery men. Realizing his veteran pitchers can not go an forever, he is concentrating on pitching. Already it is apparent he has added two star rookies to his staff. George Pipgras, carried by the Yankees for several seasons as a promising prospect, has; definitely arrived. Pipgras is a stylist of the front rank. His pitching is the poetry of motion and he has a deceptive repertoire back of his style,. He should be a big winner next season.

Moore Shiites In Wiley Moore, Huggins has picked up the best relief pitcher that has come into the big leagues since the debut of Fred Marberry of Washington. Although it is his first year in the majors, Moore appeared in 22 of the first 100 games played by the Yankees. Asa relief pticher he has worked anywhere from two-thirds of an inning to seven and one-third sessions and rarely has he failed to deliver.

Dempsey Is Chief Topic in Windy City Jack’s Popularity in Chicago Amazing—Staves Off < Training Grind. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—Although today was the time set for beginning .of training by Jack Dempsey for his heavyweight bout with Gene Tunney, very little activity outside of a visit to his training camp at Lincoln Fields was looked for. Dempsey’s failure to start serious training is believed in many quarters to be due to a reluctance to leave Estelle. Taylor, his movie actress wife, who is said to be quite ill. Others, however, point out that Jack’s daily workouts while in California have put him in good condition and to start training too early would only result in his becoming “stale” before the big bout. The fact remains, however, that Dempsey is passing up much good money by not opening his training camp, for Chicago can hardly wait to see the ex-champion in action. Dempsey’s popularity here is amazing, not even the Chicago Cubs’ spectacular pennant dash being able to replace him as the chief topic of the day. The desire to see the champion seems to have spread to the fair sex and indications are that they will provide a good part of the "gate” when the champion does start training. Leo Flynn, Jack’s manager, continues his search for punishment absorbers for the ex-champion. So far Marty Burke. “Allentown Joe” Gans and “My” Sullivan have been signed up. Flynn would like at least five more for Dempsey to start on, he said.
