 Babe Ruth in setting his mark of 5s home runs in 1921 averaged q home run a trine better than every third game. That In Itself Is n most remarkable feat. 1 doubt if it Is ever equaied.
 Williams however. is hot on the trail Of the Ruth record, and in the first 2i games played he has out done the remarkable performance of the Yankee star.
 Thirteen home runs in 22 games is the record hung mp by Williams dur ing the first three weeks of play.
 Hot on Ruth's Trnil
 Tn compiling his first dozen home- run clouts, Williams on May II, in the game with the St. Louis Cardinals jumped his mark from nine by clout- ing out three home runs in five times at bat. Tn so doing he tied the modern record for home runs in a major league game, first made by Ken Will Hams of the St. Louis Browns and later equaled by Walter Henline of the phillies
 On May 1o Williams reached the SO -called unlucky l3.

 Has Peculiar Stance
 Williams has rather peculiar stance at the plate. and in National League circles is known as a dead right field hitter Opposing teams play him in much the same manner ss American league clubs hglrc Ruth.
 The first bascman swings over 10 the foul line. the second baseman moves far to his left. almost to where the first sacker usually plays. the shortstop is just to the right of sec ond base. while the third baseman oc- cupies what is about tho natural posi- ton for the shortstop.
 In keeping with the infeid defense. the outfeld swings clear to the right side Of the field.
 The pitchers work with the defense by keeping their stuff on the inside. thereby hoping to force Williams in- thereby hoping to force Williams to hit in accordance with the shift of the defense.
 At the Phillie park Williams will receive much assistance in his home run feats by very short right field fence. Ely balls that would be outs on many parks go for homers at Phil adelphia.
 Can Williams keep up his slugging on the road? His chance to set new home run record depends entirely on what he will be able to accomplish on foreign soil.
