RUTH'S HOMER RECORD IMPERILLED BY JOE

Yank Slugger Here's Closeup of That Dead-Heat F inish

Clouts 31st Circuit Blow

Has One More Game Than Babe Had to Achieve Mark of 60.

| By LESLIE AVERY | United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Joe Di- | Maggio, slugging sophomore ut

fielder of the New York Yonisees, |

stood today on the threshold of a | new home run record—a mark set by Babe Ruth 10 years ago. Jolting Joe, who came to the ma- | jors from the San Francisco Seals | last year, has a one-game better | chance of reaching Ruth's 1927 mark of 60. Ruth hit his 31st home run that | vear in the Yankees’ 90th game, | leaving him 64 tilts to clout 29 more. Joe banged his 31st in| the Yanks 91st game yesterday, hut | because of two tied games which will have to be replayed, he has 65 | contests left. | If DiMaggio doesn’t turn the trick |

this year, Ruth's mark may stand |

forever,

because the majors have |: Wu

adopted a deader ball for next sea- | ;

son. od Regardless of Joe's home run abil-

ity, he appears destined to become |

a better all-round ball player than Ruth ever was. The Babe never | was a great fielder, and DiMaggio | is one of the greatest. He roams | wide both to left and right from | his center garden position, and his | deadly accurate throw to the plate has cut ¢ff many runs.

Besides his homer yesterday, the |

23-year-old Italian collected a sin-

the finish of the $45,120 Futurity, final race of the Arlington Jockey It shows Tiger, owned by

Mrs. Ethel V. Mars, and Teddy's Comet, owned by Emerson Woodward, as they crossed the line together, the first dead heat ever run in the race.

Brewers Shove Tribe Into Second Division; Birds Take Lead.

Times Special MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2.-—Having dropped six out of seven games since leaving home, the Indianapolis Indians begin to look the part of pushovers. When they get good pitching the hitters collapse, and

The Tribesters lost the series finale at Kansas City Saturday, 5 to 3, | when the mound staff went to | pieces in the seventh inning, and in the double-header with the Brewers here yesterday the Hoo- | siers played like they had no business in the league, Milwaukee taking both tilts, 19 to 5 and 9 to 1.
