Only if both double-headers are split can the standings withstand. a general revision.

Gehrig, Afraid of | of No Pitcher Or Hit, Battles Tiny But Tough Foe.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK. June 22.—There are some things you can’t do much, if anything, about. Illness is often like that. Obviously we have Lou

Gehrig in mind. Almost overnight

the faded iron man of baseball be{comes a weak physical image in tin foil, and finis is written to his amazing career as the Yankees first baseman,

Not even his incredibie durability, which enabled him to shatter every endurance record known to the game, was strong enough to fight insidious ravages of a strange malady; in the end this tremendously strong young man had to acknowledge defeat to an unseen, mysterious foe. Fire ball pitchers couldn't stop him, flashing spikes held no fear for him, broken bones slowed him up only temporarily—but when something hapepned to him inside, which affected his nerves and tissues and blood stream, he had to hang up his bat. He couldn't hit that kind of pitch-

Sisler’s Case Noted

Baseball offers a case in point in George Sisler, the deft, adroit first ay of the St. Louis Browns. A sinus infection imperiled his evesight and in 1823 he was forced to withdraw from the game. He remained out all season but returned the following vear to play competent if not brilliant baseball for quite a stretch. There would be no reflective com-|

fort for Gehrig in Sisler’s experience |

except for the difference in ages.

Sisler was only 30 years old when he

was forced out of the lineup for the first time. Gehrig recently passed his 36th birthday, and that's pretty old as baseball players go. The lovely Georgia Coleman, perennial Olympic champion of the swimming pools, faded pathetically, under the buffetings of a paralytic! seizure. She was still a great artist in the water and apparently in the full luxuriant bioom of athletic perfection. Something just happened to her, and that was that. And there was Johnny McDermott the golfer of another period whose mind snapped just after he had won two National Open Championships and had established himself as the first great American-born pro-

guy. Listens to Manager Joe

What the future holds for him only time and his own decision can tell. We think he plans to stay in baseball if he can—and there is no reason why he can't if he is willing to submit to the trials and tribulations of a new start in a new field. Managing a% once suggests itself. Nor should the duties of an executive office be beyond the capacity of the college trained Gehrig. We think one reason he insists on

staying with the club though it be

the bench.

tee shot and then chipped long.

She sank a nice eight-foot putt to lalve the hole. The 13th went to Miss Randall, who was on in three and down in five. Miss Varin finally took a six. The 14th was halved with fives,
