BY NORMAN E. BROWN.

If you were Colonel Jake Rupert.
And had monopoly on home
runs stars in Ruth and Gehrig.
And found that from business
standpoint the monopoly really
threatened to cut your gate receipts
by making the American league a
one-team affair.
And decided to peddle one of the
two.
Which one would you trade or
sell?
This question, off hand, may
sound a bit foolish.
Such a situation, however, is not
beyond the range of possibilities in
view of the situation now coming
to a head. American league mo-
guls are already discussing means
of evening up" the league by boil
STEERING the weaker teams partly
at the expense of the Yankee club.
AS long as the Yanks keep both
Gehrig and Ruth they bid fair to
hog the honors-as well as the
home runs. Home runs are still
the life of the party.
So the colonel may come face to
face with the task of deciding the
above problem.
Off hand, our thought would be
to sell Ruth.
Why?
Well, first of all, Ruth is headed
toward the sunset side of his ca
reer, no matter how far distant the
end is. He has been king of home
run hitters for eight years since
he first startled the world with his
hitting in 1919. He cannot go on
forever, Of course.
Gehrig is just coming up. He has
years ahead OF him. One can feel
that he has not yet reached the
peak great hitter that he already
gems.
Ruth, in another uniform, would
pack the stadium every time he
came TO New York. Gehrig, con-
tinuing at his present gait, would
become the new Babe Ruth to New
Workers. He is the only man in
the game who might eventually
step into the Behemoth's shoes.
Ruth, because he is Ruth, would
carry his tremendous drawing pow
Ell wherever he went. He is still
Ruth. Which means that were he
to remain with the Yankees they
would still have the greatest draw
ing card in baseball, and the other
measures made to equalize things
would be somewhat futile.
Interesting food for thought, this.
The Yankees acquired Ruth by
paying what was then record
price for a single ball player
and still is. the price was $125,000.
Gehrig cost them practically moth
ing. He came to the Yankees as a
youngster out of college.
Gehrig had made a record as a
home run hitter in the Eastern lea
que in the short time he served
there. Others, however, have come
to the big show with record equal
ly as brilliant. The Yankees felt
that they were getting a great bat
ter, but it is reasonable to suggest
that they had no idea they were ac-
quiring the nearest approach to
Babe Ruth the game has produced
when they signed Lou.
