HITS FOURTEENTH

NEW YORK, Aug 1--t Records, -
said Babe Ruth, "were made to be
broken, and breaking them is some
thing the Babe does little less but.
He broke another one yesterday
out in hot st. Louis when he hit his
fourteenth homer for, the month of
July-more -four fly sacks ; in a
month IS span than ever were smack
ed before in the history of modern
baseball. In 1921 during June he
hit 13 homers. -
The Babe is away on a merry
chase after his season home run rec
ord. He is nine round trips ahead
of where he was last year, but five
behind where he wassat this time in
1921.
1t would not be a bit surprising
to see Ruth catch up and pass him
self, as you might say, along about
nid:September and make a new rec
ord of go or more home runs for
the season. 1t would be hard to
evidence surprise if this amazing
young man should step up and bat
the Woolworth building over into
New Jersey.
Anything is conceivable with the
Babe, except that he should fail
to astonish us once in a while.
Incidentally, He might lead the
league in battling as well as in home
runs and runs driven in and few
other things, although The chances
are that If he chooses 70 go after
a new mark for homcrs he will lave.
