Don't think that my so-called
book learning prevented me from
living a colorful life. l have had
hard knocks and plenty Of them
since 1 began earning a living
fourteen years ago. 1t was not
much of a living them, to be sure,
when 1 rose from SIS week to
SIT as office boy and later clerk.
All my days have not been white

Roosevelt is said to have had
when young, but I imagine I was
not much stronger than he was

were ever prone to predict his
imminent end. Those who would
tell you he was an in-and-outef;
that his private conduct had I'M
dermined his opportunity to re-
main a fixture. a satellite; that
he was a lucky stiff and that his
achievements were the results OF
getting the breaks and that he
was a flash in the pan and so on
and so on, ad libitum and ad
infinitum.
Indeed, Ruth has had many
cycles Of tobogganing in his
career. There has been more
than one chapter IN his lie
where it appeared he might be
going down for the last time.
But somehow or other he in
variably seems to gain sufficient
momentum with his downward
dashes to carry him around the
next turn and over the next hill
into prominence, and whether
he's just lucky. as some say, or
whether an innate spirit not to
stay put hovers around him, does
not make any difference.
Today he is still the outstanding
figure of baseball. He has held
that enviabl eminence for half
a dozen years, and neither fate
nor circumstance has been able
to edge him off his pinnacle.
His newest contribution to
sporting records. that of garner.
ing three home runs in one world
series game. as well as scoring .
total Of four tallies for his team
in single such game, does not
hear out the theory that he IS a
flash In the pan, that he couldn't
do IT again. and that only luck
