‘lron Man’ Lou Gehrig Loves His Eels

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Ignoring the large cash award offered to the sports writer who today refuses to refer to Lou Gehrig as “baseball's iron man,” we hereby announce that Iron Man Gehrig will play his I.oooth consecutive major league game in Detroit this afternoon, weather and Joe McCarthy permitting. It seems that any fellow w r hO has not missed a ball game since June 1, 1925, despite broken bones, black eyes, charley horses, split thumbs, homesickness and growing pains, can pe called an “iron man.” without fear of contradiction. Os course, giving Gehrig an “iron man” rating, after his I,oooth game is hardly fair to Everett Scott, who ran off 1,307 games before missing a day, and Joe Sewell, Gehrig’s teammate, who showed in the lineup 1,103 times without a miss. But there it is! Gehrig is almost a sure bet to go on and surpass the marks set up by Scott and Sewell. There never was a player better built for tough wear than the Yank’s larrupin’ first baseman. Lou weighs in the neighborhood of 230 pounds and every one of those pounds is muscle.

planning to make a wager with Babe Ruth that Reynolds wins. Chapman is considered by many to be one of the fastest players in the majors in many years. He recently defeated his team-mate, Dusty Cocke, in a 100-yard race at Yankee stadium and Ruth winning S6OO on Chapman's victory. Although hampered by illness and injuries early in. the season, Reynolds has stolen ten bases this season. Last year, he totaled sixteen, two more than Chapman. During his college days at Southwestern university (Georgetown, Tex.), Reynolds was a member of the track team and is credited with having run the century in ten seconds several times. White Sox players believe he is faster than Chapman on a straight course. Chapman is leading the American League with forty-six stolen bases. If he passes the half-century mark, as he is certain to barring an injury, he will be the -first major league player in many years to steal more than fifty bases. Roy Johnson of Detroit is his closest competitor with i thirty. REYNOLDS MAT WINNER Jack Reynolds, welter title claimant, triumphed in the feature mat event at Broad Ripple Monday when Billy Hallas refused to continued after Reynolds was awarded the first fall on a foul. Johnny Carlin was counted out after being thrown from the ring and lost to lota Shima, and Henry Burke, and Steven Nenoff drew in j the opener.

City Typo Nine Wins — First Time in 8 Years!

By Times Special HAMILTON, Ontario. Aug. 18.— If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That’s been the motto of the Indianapolis Union Printers baseball team for years and years. And it worked. When the Hoosier typo nine defeated Boston here Monday in the annual International Typographical City Amateur Nines Battle Second-round games in the city series to determine the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association city champion will be played Saturday. Power and Light nine tackles InterSouthern Life at Riverside NO. 3, and Thirty-first Baptist takes on Sims Coal at Riverside No. 1.

Why, -Tony? 'T'HE average golfer is happy A enough when he makes a hole in one, but to Dick Collins, manager of A. G. Spalding’s Circle Tower store, that was just a minor part of it. Dick was playing with Tony Hinkle, Butler basketball coach, at Meridian Hills and in the latter part of the match Collins was too sick to pay much attention to what he was doing. Dick always has fired close to the old pin on the No. 16 hole at the Hills and narrowly missed a hole in one there last year. He hit one Monday that went right into the cup, one that he was too sick to watch trickled into the cup, but for various reasons, Collins says he was just as satisfied it was Hinkle who had to watch the ball disappear. And he insists that Hinkle tell the story.

cinnati where he tied for the low medal honors in a thirty-six hole test. Lehman qualified in Chicago. The recent championship event staged by the Indiana Professional Golfers Association in addition to determining the champion of Indiana by way of a seventytwo hole title event, also determined the trio of players to represent the Indiana P. G. A. in Rhode Island for the national P. G. A. crown. Mclntyre and Stonehouse tied for the championship with 296 each at the end of seventy-two holes. Murray had 297. In the play-off for the title, Mclntyre and Stonehouse went three eighteen-hole overtimes before “Mac” eased out a four-point victory. Had the Indiana P. G. A. tournament been held earlier in the summer, the local delegation might just as well have been five, because the recent tournament increased the statemembership until their quota of eligibies for national events now and in the future will be five and maybe more. a a a T ANCE had himself figured right. Several days before the event, George stated he would not participate in the Indiana amateur championship at French Lick for three reasons. First, he said he could not take the time from his business to go away for a full week. Next, he said he was not financially able to stand so much golf, and third, he said the grind of a month of tournaments was too much. Lance participated In the national amateur qualifying tests and was in Cincinnati a week. He won the amateur honors of the Indiana open at Speedway the next week and that took three days more. He is leaving this week for Chicago. Had he gone to French Lick last week that would have been a full month of neglected business. There are those who wonder if Lance ! J° ul£ L have been able to stand the gaff. The field was voune at French Lick and the challenge to the older plavers was terrific, especially in the two eighteen-hole rounds of match play. , Billy Heinlein. who ultimately won. nearly was snuffed out In one of those matches bv Bill Wilkinson. All of the three exrhampions in the field. Dwight MitcheU. Bobbv Resener and Bill Diddel. could not . survive them. To sav the least, one has to admit j George Lance piaved wise in not going to ; French Lick even In defense of the crown jhe had won four consecutive years. The j week would have been a tough one for any ! champion. There are these who will argue that George is better than the field and their argument might have been convincing if Bill Heinlein had not turned in a 32 Sati urdav afternoon to gain a victory over Phil Talbot of Bloomington, who at the same i time was shooting a 35. one stroke under par.

Unlike Ruth, who must carry his heft about on a pair of chorus girl legs, Gehrig has a pair of props built along the generous lines of a baby grand piano. Despite the fame and fortune that has come his way. Gehrig still is one of the shy, modest players in the game. Not as shy, of course, as when he first stepepd off the subway from Columbia university and into Yankee Stadium. He couldn't be. For as a rookie, Lou lived up to all the best baseball freshman traditionsf from straw suitcase to letters home. Lou, despite his poundage and strength, is baseball’s biggest “mama’s boy.” Writes to “mom” every night and says she is his “only girl.” Plays a smart game of bridge. Never had trouble with any player save Ty .Cobb, who used to rag him unmercifully. They finally had a fight in the Detroit dugout, Cobb winning when Gehrig missed a right swing, slipped and banged his head against a concrete wall. The two stars then shook hands and called It quits. Gehrig’s only vice is a passionate love for eels. Like ’em whether they are boiled, broiled, fried, fricasseed, pickled, or on the half shell.
