0 :— „ I Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) ' By Oscar Fraley 0 i 0 NEW YORK IP — Strapping Eddie Mathews won’t break Babe Ruth k magic home tun record of 60 round trippers this season but the mauler ffom Milwaukee already has pioveu beyond doubt that hdre at long last is the nian who may better the Bambino's mark. As of the moment, handsome Eddie has <43 home-tuns in 133 games. Discounting the datf and al| the others camouflage, he is four behind the Babe’s record irace of 1927 in tl)e matter at games played, for ihe Babe had 47 in 133 game's. There is one gimmick that favors Eddie the Pnaves have played two ties, so he gets 156 games against fituih’s season total of 154. Nobody is going to surpass the Bambino’s record - smashing September iuu of 17 homers by much Certainly Mathews can’t be expected to get 17 he needs for a tie, or the,lß he needs for baseball’s biggest’record in the mere 23 games he has left. But Eddie is just getting under way in this baseball business, and eveiy sign points toward his eventually surpassing the iminortal .sluggei's greatest mark. Consider, first, that last season •as a freshman he hit 25 homers. Ralph Kiner, whose seven-year reign Mathews j s ending, hit only 23 to win the title as a rookie. Then, too, Kiner at that time was 24 years old- hut Eddie is only 21. Mechanically an d physically. Mathews has all the uecesaaty qualitications. He is big and strong, six feet, one inch ami 2<H» pounds, has a perfect swing and lightning reflexes. Kiner had those at t riba es. too. but lacked the power hitter behind him. Milwaukee will see that Eddie gets such support. The raves , for Mathews, come tiopi all. sections of the baseball world, but two of the finest! come from the rival Brooklyn Dodgers* ip compliment the swing and reflexes which will keep Mathews front and center, a- a home run swinger for the/ages. ‘ Yo’J> think yolu’ve got the hall past him," says pitcher flail Erskine. “and he seems to hi' it light out cf the-catchei’s glove.” “lie has , a fine, level swing.” adds manager'; Chuck Dressen “and he is one 'bf the few lefthanded batters who don't seem to be bothered \by 4e|thanded pitching.” \ ' ] One of, the principal criticisms of Mathews is that he strikes out a lot. It may b.c pointed out that Ruth did. too.
