GEHR|G
GOES WILD

AS the Yankees, with a seven
game winning streak, continue to
rip the Western teams to shreds,
the big gun in their attack is not
Babe Ruth, but Lou Gehrig. The
husky first baseman clouted his
ninth home run of the season
against Cleveland yesterday, tying
Ruth, and also boosted his batting
average to 1875, the highest per-
centage for regulars in either
league.
Gehrig also has made more hits
and scored more runs than any
player in either league. No other
American League slugger has hit
more doubles or triples. Pitchers
who formerly passed Ruth to get
at Gehrig are now pitching to the
Babe and handing out free trans
portation to the former Columbia
star, and Col. Jake Rupert, owner
of the Yanks, has horrid visions of
being saddled with another $4,000
contract.
Deacon WiIcey Moore, the de-
mon pallbearer, shared hOnOrs
with Gehrig yesterday. After
renewing Smoker ne banked the
Indians for seven innings and
hunted in a run in the ninth
that gave the Yanks 4-tO-3 de-
cision.
A home run by Ken williams in
the tenth inning enabled the Browns
to nose out the Red Sox, 6 to 5,
after Boston tied the score with a
four-run rally in the ninth. Melillo
got four hits. The Browns have
won five of their last six games,
and are tied with the Athletics for
third place.
AL Thomas, Of the White Sox
registered his sixth victory of the
season in winning a S-to-0 decision
over Lefty Grove. of the Athletics.
Ty Cobb got two. hits and has
batted safely in his last 10 games.
