Hr uever can play again. He la suffering from a form of Infantile paralysis For the fans It marks the breakdown of the most extraordinary I physical machine sports ever pro'duced. It means that “locomotive" I Gehrig, a household word, has been i ralsh'-d by disease practically before their eyes. Just how long hla connection with the game as trainer, coach. . manager or executive — will con- I i tlnur, no one can say with certain-, j ty today. The seriousness of lam's condition was not made public until, yesterday when finding of the Mayo (clinic at Mochester. Minn, were ' revealed by New York Yankee ofi llclala. His disease is sclent Iflcally labeled ''Amyotrophic lateral I I sclerosis." for which no cure la 'known Gehrig took It philosophically, 'telling newspapermen: “If thia la the finish. I'll just J have to take It. You've got Io take j the hitter with the sweet, and at : least I know what is the matter with me now I haven't the ; slightest idea where I picked up such a germ Noflody ever findout. I guess.'* Robbed of the physical coordination nei-eaaary to field and bat in i big league style. Gehrig's future is ‘ uncertain He will be carried on | the active player list for the remainder of the season, but doctors orders to conserve his energy will prevent his indulging in any form of physical exertion. He is the I highest paid man in baseball, and will draw hla stipulated *34.000 I from the Yankees ttys season. Hut even club President Ed Harrow would not Indicate future plans for ' the nun who made history at first base for the Yankees. "When thia contract haa expired, it will be time enough to talk about a new one." Harrow said in denying reporta that Lou would be re-1 leased unconditionally at the end of the seaaon "Thia all came so I sudden, we have not had a chance j to think about the future" According to the Mayo diagnosis j of lam's ailment, the nerve cells 1 along his spine are breaking down I and therefore preventing the trans- 1 mission of proper coordination of j physical and muscular activity from the brain. Dr. Harold C. Ha- ! beta of the Mayo clinic said the disease fa extremely rare, that Its cause Is unknown There la little doubt In the minds of baseball men. that a prominent plat e will be found for him In the far-flung Yankee organisation. He was a favorite of the late «lub owner. Col. Jacob Ruppert, and appar etitly )uat as much admired by the Yankee heirs, including the colonel's brother. George, who refused the club presidency in favor of | Harrow. Dr. Habein emphasised that ft ' would have been impossible for ' any injury on the ball field to have caused such an affliction He said lanlfeatattons of the disease

HOMERS DEFEAT CINCf BEDS IN NIGHT CONTEST I Stainback And Camilli Hit Home Runs To De* feat Cincinnati New York. June 22. <UJO-Cin-cinnati's four closest pursuers were creeping up on the Reds todsy resdy to put on the pressure. The Cardinals. Giants. Cubs snd Dodg era all gained a full game on the Reda yesterday, and If the men of McKechnle show any signs of cracking they all are near enough I lo cause trouble Johnny Vander Meer threw two home run balls last night to spoil an otherwise superb pitching job and bowed to Brooklyn, 2 1. before 20,00# fans at Cincinnati. Tuck Htalnback plunked a homer in the second frame. Then Whitlow Wyatt retired 10 men in order until the fourth when l»nnl<Frey tripled and scored the tying j ruu on Ival Goodman's single. The game was deadlocked. 11. until the ninth when Dolf Camilli hit tils 13th homer Vander Meer gave up only two other hlta. Wyatt held the Reda to live. The Rods' defeat enabled the ' Cards to trim the league-leaders' margin to 5% games. St. Louis ' rifled out 18 hits to overwhelm the , Phillies. 14-2. Winning their loth game in 11 starts, the Giants exploded a 10hit attackto beat the Pirates, <.4, and climb within seven games of :the Reda Karl Whitehill let the Hees down with six hits and the Cubs ' scored a 3-0 victory, their fourth straight.

Unless Its publicity department has sent out two entire pages of typographical errors, the National broadcasting company will put Max '‘chmellng. (Harry Thomas, and Tchn Henry Lewis on the air. This *ould make sense if Schmeimg I were going to sing. Thomas discuss tar eastern prob'.sffna. and Lewis be< ame apparent while Lou was playing In St. Louis but summer. Although no hope was given that he might be cured, certain Injections were recommended lo alleviate the condition and Lou already has started taking them The Mayo cltnlc picked physicians in New York and In the other seven American league cities which la>u will visit for the treatments. Gehrig's top salary was |36.000 In 1928. hut be suffered a 12.000 cut when hla batting average dropped to 295 the first time it had been leas than .304 since his first full season with the club tn 1925 Including approximately 240.004 tn world aeries he won with the club. Gehrig haa drawn approxl- ' mately 2400.000 from the Yankees. The Gehrigs are clean, thrifty livers. aad much of It was put Into annuities. So Lou la not likely Aer want for anything — unless I It's the roar of the crowd and the plaudits. and be has had more than hla share of that.
