Lou Shines Gehrig Makes Comeback at Plate After Poor 1929 Season.

JF you are not satisfied with Babe Ruth as the reason for the Yankees being in the first division, how about giving first base the once over? Here is a young man fighting for the batting leadership of the American League in his twentyseventh year of life —Columbia Lou Gehrig, the durable Dutchman. One June afternoon in 1925, the late Miller Huggins cast a glance over the Yankee bench, and bade Lou take Wally Pipp's place at first. Lou has been there since. Last year Lou seemed to be fading both in batting and fielding, and there is a little story in baseball psychology there that can stand repetition. Somebody, at the beginning of the 1929 season, casually remarked it was going to be a great year for lefthanded pitchers and a bum season for left-handed batters. It apparently sank into Lou's soul; he often quoted it during the campaign. He worried about it. Where he had batted .374 in 1928, he wound up the 1929 campaign with a mark barely .300. a m a •rjUGGINS used to call him “the .IT. perfect physical ball player,’’ which was a twe-edged compliment coming from such a satirist as the Little Giant. “He has the wrong kind of nervous and mental gear,” the Hug used to say of him. But in Gehrig's case, a sharp inventory of himself produced remarkable results. Today he has come back. He is establishing himself as one of the most valuable players in the league. Lou's mother keeps house for him, in New Rochelle, N. Y. As long as she lives, says Lou, he will not take unto himself a wife. a a a LOU is a different type from Babe Ruth, but these two whose home run rivalries are intense, are close friends. Ruth is a frequent visitor at the Gehrig home, where he can eat just as many pickled eels as he likes. Between Lou and Babe, most of Mamma Gehrig's time is just one pickled eel after another. Babe calls Mrs. Gehrig "Ma.” Hug used to think Gehrig lacked natural baseball sense. “Take Ruth and Gehrig,’’ the Hug said once, “and you can't find two other players whose success in the game has been achieved by such contrasting styles. Ruth got no farther than the eighth grade in an orphans’ home, but Gehrig had two years of university study. But Ruth can think twice as fast on the diamond as Gehrig can.” It may be as Hug said—that he can be out-thought—but for durability he's hard to beat.

night will have done more to restore to the boxing game something of its post prestige than all the promises of the present day champions. Chocolate, for his pounds about as good a mite of fighting machinery as the prize ring knows today, declares he is through with boxing forever. The lure of the dollar, which to “the Keed” means more new flashy suits of clothes, fancy, pointed footwear and gold watches, will bring him back from Havana after a brief vacation. But Chocolate never again will carry the toy cane which was his fetish, his token of victory. Unbeated in 163 fights, previous to Thursday, the little Cuban, who is only 19 years old had come to believe in that cane as a symbol of success. It was presented to him after he won his first bout in the United States, a bout for which he received $35 as his end of the purse. Since that time, the former Havana newsboy has made more than a quarter of a million dollars. Chocolate will come back, and some day, if he has the chance, will whip both Berg and A1 Singer the lightweight champoin. Meanwhile, after the manner of his race, he must have his period of unrestrained •mojios REMATCH AT RIPPLE Fred Parker, matchmaker at the Broad Ripple arena, has rematched Blacksmith Pedigo of Louisville and Cliff Byrd of Nashville for the main go on Monday night’s wrestling card. The bout will be to a finish, best two in three falls. A supporting card of equal merit will furnish other entertainment.

‘I’M NOT DONE YET ‘l’ll Still Fool ’Em,’ Says Alex

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Corresnondent NEW YORK, Aug. B.— Grover Cleveland Alexander came to New York today for the first time without a baseball uniform. He arrived here alone on ‘“business.” The famous old pitcher is alone. He admits it. . . „ "There’s no use denying the facts, he drawled. “It seems mighty strange being here alone without the boys, the excitement of before-the-game time. “But I’m not through with baseball. It may think it’s through with me, but it’s wrong. I hope to be in there winging ’em across for a major league outfit next year. I plan to go to Hot Springs about six weeks before the 1931 season starts and try and get in shape.’’ nun “yOU know,” he continued. “I’m JL not the rounder they believe I am. I’ve had my beer ever since I w’as knee high to a duck, but if I drank all the liquor credited to me —well, I just could hold it all. “If I contracted double pneumonia and rolled over and died, everybody would say I’d passed out on bad liquor. Even if five doctors and three nurses were around. “But I’ll tell you one thing,” Alex said. “If I had my whole baseball life to live over again I’d never drink a drop. That is, outside of a glass or two of good bear.” matt HIS pitching arm, according to Alexander, is about as good as it has been for the last five years. It's not his arm that bothers him, but his legs. “If I can get those darn legs in some sort of shape, I can still manage to fool my share of batters. After being given his unconditional release by the Phillies, Alex went to Dallas in the Texas League. “The sun got me there,” he said. “The first game I pitched it was 112 in what little shade there was. When the seventh inning rolled around it wasn’t a bit less than 240.” From Dallas, where he was released, Alex headed for Toledo in

the finals at Chicago. A SIO,OOO cash prize is offered for the winner of the national championship, with $40,000 in prizes and trophies for the state and sectional tournament winners. The competition will be open to players from every make, type and state and the promoters expect the number of entrants to exceed 30,000 A special division of the tournament is open to women. The United States Golf Associa-. tion has ruled that players who compete for cash prizes in the miniature game lose their amateur standing in orthodox golf, thereby removing the probability of any ranking amateurs engaging in the pee-wee national open. With the golf professionals and amateurs eliminated the pee-wee tourney will be restricted to players of the new game and the first national open miniature golf champion promises to be an individual new to sport fame.
