CHICAGO, Aug. 26-Way back when
his home run total was expressed IN
only single figure-and when sus'
pensions, fines, and bleecher aooting
were more of a daily occurance than
a four-base hit-Babe Ruth said the
1922 season would end with him tho
champion home-run hitter of the mai
or leagues.
In those days, back in May, Babe
and Mrs. Ruth seemed to be about
the only people in the United States
confident of Ruth's comeback. Today
Ruth's challenge to Ken Williams OF
st. Louis, whose home run hitting at
the start of the season was q sensa-
ton, and Tilly Walker of the Athletics
has begun to sound like the real
thing.
Babe, with the close of the season
a little more than a month away, has
26 homers to his credit, Williams 81
and Walker 80. The Bambino smash
ed out four this week, while the best
Williams could do was a pair, Walker

if he continues his present pace will
make good his prediction in the jjudg
