is his favorite position. He has tax
en- pains to coach Gehrig not only
in fielding but III hitting. The tips
were offered III the typical Ruth
spirit of friendliness and accepted
by Gehrig with the highest graft
tude and appreciation.
The Babe was asked some time
ago what he thought of Gehrig and
he replied: "He's a great kid. II
he keeps on FASTING 'em he'll be. in
the big dough-" Incidentally, it is
understood that Gehrig is drawing
$1,000 a year. But next year.
"Ruth,' Gehrig says of his riv-
al, "is the greatest hitter and ball
player that ever lived. y
Discussion has arisen as to the re-
lative power of the two stars.
"Ruth is the stronger hitter, .
Miller Higgins says.
American League managers agree
that Ruth hits a ball harder but
they say they would rather pitch TO
Ruth than to Gehrig because they
cant play Gehrig like Ruth. They
never hnow whore Gehrig is to hit
or how long a hit it will be.
Eventually Gen";g may equal or
better the Babes record but he
never will be Babe because he
lacks Babes color. The Babe is an

Gehrig, most unassuming, selects

n YEW YORK, November 23.-It ls
~ now assured that the winner
VI of the elimination tournament
1 sponsored by Tex Rickard will
meet Jack Dempsey for the
right to face Champion Gene Tunney
late next Summer. This sets at rest
al! the ballyhoo about the former title
holder having an early tune up bout in
the Madison Square Garden.
EAplaining, Rickard says the reason
why Dempsey won't put up his justly
famous maulers under a roof this Win
ter is that he is busy and will continue
to be busy defending himself against
the legal wallops of his erstwhile bud
DIV, Jack kearns. The courts of law
and not the gym will be Jacks train
ing ground while the snow is flying.
When you run into Dempsey these
days ycu find that his mind is not on
the fighting business at all. lie IS
thinking of lawyers and judges and
legal procedure, all of which of course
won't help him when at length ne be
gins to turn his attention To getting
