ney at Soldiers field September %.
The former champion has host
of friends and admirers in Chicago
and they plan to be either at the
station or in the vicinity of the
Morrison hotel, where he will have
his headquarters until he moves to
Lincoln field race track to establish
his permanent training camp
The outdoor ring at the racing strip
was being installed today, and Demp-
sey's quarters underwent last min
ute inspection from Gus Wilson. one
Of his handlers, and Fred Tapscott,
Chicago detective sergeant, one of
Dempsey's personal bodyguards.
Everything was pronounced in readi-
ness for the former titleholder and
his party. The ring is being built
on the lawn between the clubhouse
and the rail Of the track. The quar-
ters OF Col. Matt j. Winn, general
manager, of the track, were ready tc
be turned over to Dempsey for his
five weeks stay.
Dempsey may decide to go to the
track Immediately after he has settled
his wife, EstelIe Taylor, comfortably
in the Edgewater Beach hotel. The
probabilities are, however, that he will
defer going into camp until Monday.
Reports that have preceded Demp.
eey from the west indicate that he
is ready to spring into his training

on the coast, following out the plan
adopted for him by Leo p. Flynn,
his manager. -

the sympathy and best wishes of the
common people. And while Gehrig is
just as popular with the players as
Ruth, it is my though most of them
would prefer to see Ruth finish in
front. t,
Their motive is purely a selfish
one. They know what a great mag
net Ruth is at the gate and Gehrig's
drawing power as the home run king
would remain to be established. Babe

Gchrig Nav Set Record

Gchrig May Set Record
Unquestionably Gehrig has an ex-
cellent chance to beat the Babe for
the home run championship of 1927.
However, I won't believe it has ac-
tually happened until 1 see it in fig
ures. y
Ruth has the habit of rising to the
occasion and I am sure he will not
go down to defeat without putting up
a titanic struggle. Don't count the
Babe out until the curtain has been
rung down.
Gehrig has been far more success
full in the Yankee Stadium than Ruth
this year. Since a majority of the
remaining games of the New York
Americans are at home, this is a de-
icided advantage to Gehrig.
I doubt if either Ruth or Gehrig
come even close to breaking Ruth's
record of SO. It strikes me that SO
home runs will come mighty close
to winning the swat championship of
1927.

With the New York Yankees far
out in front, the most interesting
feature Of the American League race
at present is the hectic struggle e.
ing waged between Babe Ruth, and
Lou Gehrig for the home run champ
ionship.
What are Gehrig's chances to beat
Ruth to the honor?
Is there a possibility that either
of the two will beat Ruth's record
of SO home runs made, in 1921?
Should Gehrig assume a big lead
over Ruth within the next month
would it affect Ruth's play in general
and also that of the Yankees?
How much truth is there to the oft
made statement that as Ruth goes
SO go the Yankees?
