BY ALAN ]. GOULD
(AssOciated Press SpOrfa Edit


New York, Aug. S.--LR)-lf Babe
Ruth is beaten by his walloping
young teammate, Lou Gehrig, in the
1927 race for home run honors, it
will be the first time in nine years
that the battering Bambino, in full
health and strength during a full
season, has bowed to any rival.
Ruth has been outslugged twice in
eight previous seasons of home run
carnage, on both occasions by Rogers
Hornsby, but the Babe had good
alibi each time.
Fell Short In 20
In 1922, when Ruth, after his ban
ner year, yielded home run laurels to
Hornsby, the Bambino spent the
early part of the season on the side
lines, under suspension for defying
Commissioner Lands in making a
transforming tour of the country.
Starting late, Ruth attempted to over
take Hornsby but fell short, their
respective totals being AZ and. IS.
Again in 1926 Hornsby got the ad-
vantage of an early start, while Babe
was out Of action with his famous
stomachache. The "Rajah" led the
pummelling parade that season with
80 homers while the invalid Ruth, be-
low his customary form even when
he did return to the lineup, collected
only 25.
Tied With williams in 1923
The only other year, outside of the
current campaign, when Ruth's SUI
premacy has been checked was in
1923 when the Yankee clouter was
tied with Cy Williams Of the Phillies
at Al homers apiece.
Gehrig, the boy Buster" with
total Of 81 has hit as many home runs
SO far this season as he did in his
two previous campaigns with the
Yankees put together. Columbia Lou
bagged 81 in his first full season in
1925, and is last year.

Wilson, Webb and Stephen
son Are Big Factor in Cubs
Fight for Pennant
ADD TO HOMER TOTALS
Good Teamwork, SmoOthness,
Makes Bruins Look Likely
to Gain Title
(BY BILLY EVANS)

"POwer-house baseball is the way
major league players now refer to
the style Of play SO popular. 1t is
just their way of saying brute
strength dominates the game.
In the sensational rise of the Chi
cago Cubs to the top of the National
League standing three castoffs have
supplied the powcr-house methods
which, combined with air-tight pitch
ing, have made the Cubs a strong
contender from the start.
Cubs Are Unusual
The Cubs, by the way, are most
unusual ball club. Of the four clubs
conceded to have chance in the
National League, it is the lightest
hitting aggregation.
Incidentally, the three players who
have furnished goodly portion of
the offense, Outfielders Wilson,
Webb and Stephenson, have been
turned adrift by other major league
clubs as lacking big league class.
Just to give some idea Of the rela-
tive difference in batting between
Pittsburgh and Chicago, the two
teams fighting each other for the
lead, the last time glanced at the
National League averages the Pirates
as a team wre batting 1922 while the
mark Of the Cubs was 81 points less,
or .271.
Outfielders Wilson and Webb, who
were both turned down by no less an
authority than John McGraw, have
contributed the homc-run punch that
has put the Cubs over in q number
of close games. In the first 72 games
Wilson hit Is homers to lead the
league while Webb made IL in the
same number Of games.
Stephenson Excels 1t bat
While Riggs Stephenson who form
erly played with the Cleveland In
dians, has made only two home runs,
he excels at the bat for the Cubs
with mark of 1888, further proof
Of the fact that other things aside
from power-house baseball have kept
the Cubs in the running.
Any critic who insisted the Chica-
az 0OUS AVAh q 6tS0e U01A CbOU WO0AO
be tempting fate and counting plenty
Of criticism, yet it would cause no
great surprise in National League
quarters if it won the pennant in
that organization.
There are no outstanding stars on
the club outside of Pitcher Charley
Root. The team is just combina-
ton Of capable performers who are
giving their best efforts at all times.
A Chicago victory in the National
League would be extremely popular,
since it is nine years since the Cubs
won National League pennant.
Should the Yankees win lin the
American and Chicago in the Nation
al, it would provide highly color
ful series between the two big cities
Of the country and supply the Gus
tomary intersectional rivalry between
the east and west.
