Babe Ruth Breaks
All Records When
He Gets 10Th Homer

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.--When Babe Ruth
Saturday knocked his 46th home run Of
the season he broke all known world S
records for circuit drives in single
season,
Ruth last season broke Buck Free
mans major league record of 25 home
runs in a season, by driving out 49,
This, however. was not a worlds rec
ord, for Perry Werden, playing with
Minneapolis, then in the Western league,
made Is four base hits in 1895. Werden
was a first baseman and, like Ruth,
was unusually large physically. Most
of his home runs were made in Min
neapolis, however. which had very close
right and left field fences. He seldom
drove the ball over the fence on foreign
fields.
In 1901 Catcher Roth of the Evans
vile, Central league club, made So
home runs.
Ruth this year has made at least one
home run in every ball park in the
American league, although he has, of
course, made more in New York than
in any other city.
