GEHRIG’S BIG BAT KEEPS YANKEES IN RACE

Lou’s .392 Tops A. L. Sluggers First Baseman Goes on Hitting Spree; Has 33 Homers. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press StaflJCorreenondent NEW YORK. Aug. I.—Lou Gehrig 1,7*5 had his ups and downs since he replaced Wally Pipp as first baseman of the New York Yankees in 1925. but the former Columbia athlete is experiencing one of his best years in baseball this season. Gehrig's batting average dwindled away to a mere .300 last season, and the husky Dutchman's place on the Yankees was none too secure at the close of the 1929 season. Gehrig is one of the highest priced players in the game, drawing $25,000 a year, and the Yankee officials didn't think Lou quite earned his stipend last season. Drives in 20 Runs But Gehrig has bounded back with a bang, and today was leading the American League with an average of .392 and in the midst of a terrific hitting streak. In five games played this week, Gehrig has batted .478, driven in twenty runs, scored nine himself and hit four home runs. Gehrig's home run total is now thirty-three, placing him in a tie with Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs for second place, three behind Ruth's total of thirty-six. Gehrig threatens to break one of his own major league records this season if he keeps up his present pace. Gehrig holds the record for runs batted in, 175 in 1927. In 102 games this season Gehrig has driven in 135 runs, and has fifty-two games in which to drive in the necessary forty runs to tie the record. Nears Bat Mark By driving in eight runs with a home run and two doubles against the Boston Red Sox Thursday, Gehrig came within four of Jim Bottomley's record of twelve runs batted in in one game and tied the second best mark held jointly by Harry Heiimann (1928) and Roy HartzeU (191D. With Babe Ruth handicapped by an injury to his thumb, Gehrig’s offensive work has been largely responsible for the Yankees hanging on in the AmericLeague pennant race. fHK Times Golfers Plan Tourney Employes of The Times are busy brushing up their shinny games, preparing for the first annual Indianapolis Times handicap golf tourney, to be played on the South Grove links.
