In his opinion one year ago, that
lineup could step out and clean
up for nine out of ten games from
any ball club. At bat, Ruth thought,
they would average $40. He Sc
lected that outfit on the basis of
daily performances.
The season was just about as far
advanced then as 1t is now and ne
went on the theory that the May
morning glories had wilted ana
that the flashes in the pan had
all gone on their respective and
merry ways.
He stated then that his idea of
an all-American team was a comhi-
nation Of superior specialists who
could go out there and sweat and
slide and stand the strain when the
going is hard and discouraging.
Such will undoubtedly be the
makeup of his coming mythical
