CONTEST

men, as Cnelf SnOrCSCOp Selectl0n
for the Babe Ruth All-America
baseball team. Many of them
can't see how Cronin will be left
off and therell be loud grumb-
lings If the Washington gem isn't
on Mr.. Ruth's team.
Cronin has been going like a
house afire this year, and more
and more the fans are going for
him in a big way. Out of twenty
five letters opened at random
this morning, no less than fifteen
put Cronin at the shortstop post.
Wright of the Dodgers and Jack
son of the Giants also received
many votes.
Another boy who has been get
ting a lot of votes lately is
Charley Gehringer. the Detroit
second baseman. With Frisch.
Gehringer, Critz, Lazzeri and
Hodapp all pulling plenty of sup
port that second base spot seems
to be real stickler for a lot of
the folks. Maybe Ruth will have
just as tough a time when it
comes to picking the right man
for the second base assignment.
Among the OutfieIders, Sim
mons, Wilson, Herman, Klein,
Cuyler and Waner continue
to poll plenty Of votes. Pick
ing his Outfielder is another
task that probably will give
the Babe a few worries before
he's finished.
Babe hasn't made up his mind
yet just when he will pick his
team but he'll be doing it shortly
after the contest closes-and it
probably will be announced the
first Saturday in September.
But the big point to remember
is that there are just six more
days remaining in which to do
your stuff.
So get busy-it's a lot better
you know, to be safe than sorry
The contest that the Washing.
ton Times is holding is far-reach.
