Yankee Players Believe columbia Lou Will Be King of
Swat After Ruth Passes.

Who will succeed Babe Ruth as
King Of Swat" when he finally
passes out OF the baseball picture
and is but a memory?
For seven years, or since 1920.
Ruth has been thrilling the sport
world by his remarkable deeds with
a baseball bat. He apparently
reached his peak in 1921, when he
made fifty-nine home runs, setting
a record that will stand for years, If
not forever.
Babe Ruth is SO years old. He can
not go on forever.
Who will succeed Babe Ruth when
he retires? If you are willing to
take the word OF the New York
Yankees, It will be
LOU GEHRIG!
Former Pitcher
Like Ruth. Gehrig began his ca
reer as a pitcher. While at Colum.
bia University he starred on the
mound. When not pitching. he was
used in the outfield or at first base,
because of his ability to hit.

Playing about half the season in
Hartford, he batted better than 800.
The following season he hit 1863 and
appeared ready. In the fall, after
the close Of the minor league race,
he was USED in ten games by the
Yankees and batted an even 500.
Gehrig. better than six feet tall

IL perked up considerable of
late? The general play Of the club
Is improving with each days game.
The material that Manager Bill
Carrigan has to work with at Boston
Is limited and in some cases, quite
green, yet his system is beginning to
get results.
Carrigan is building for the future
at Boston and well understands that
a major league ball club cannot be
put together overnight.
He traded the veteran Shortstop
Rigney for the youngster Myer, be-
cause he believed Myer had future
and that Rigney was going the other
way. He wants future greats rather
than slipping stars.
Del Lundgren, big, husky right
handler with great fast ball, failed
to win a game for Boston all last sea-
son. In the first month of play he
won two finely pitched games for
Carrigan.
Defeat means little or nothing in
the life Of Bill Carrigan at present.
Realizing he must weld together a
team, he is giving every man in his
squad a chance to prove his worth.
Carrigan is of the opinion he
may finish sixth. He says more
surprising things have happened

This school, which will cost two and

the money spent for its stadium, ath-

manual arts.
1t marks an entirely new era in the
development of high schools in the
District and for that reason deserves
to be briefly described.

The main building has been design
ed in An ingenious. and efficient fash
ion. 1t is built in the form of an Il.
one side running along T street. and
the other along I'd street, both 435 feet
in length. Being a manual training
school, about the same amount of
space was required for shops and lab
oratories as for class rooms, and these
two distinct groups have been kept
apart. so that the noise of one may
not interfere with the quiet of the
other, by placing all the shops in the
I'd street wing, and all the class rooms
in the street wing, with an audi
forum in the center.
There will be about so commodius
class rooms and study halls in the
building. Among it's notable features
will be the large auditorium seating

several machine shops. a siX-room

activities which do not require the
