Winsett to Be Regular

RUTH DRESSED
BY GERH|G

Lou Gehrig is definitely chal
lenging all comers for the home
run championship this year.
Around the American League cir
cult opinion is that Ruth won't
win it this season. Gehrig. out in
front by a good margin, is going
to take on the home run crown
if he can. Ruth seems not bit
interested but what he is con.
cerned about is keeping ahead OF
AL Simmons, the Philadelphia
slugger for individual batting hon
ors.
May Take Babes Place
If Gehrig comes through as the
champion home run Slugger fans
will have a new hero to admire
but the big first baseman knows
he never will take Ruth's place
in the eyes of the millions of
rooters.
Fans who have seen the greats
of other years fold up and pass
out are beginning to wonder who
will come along to thrill the ma
ton as did Ruth when he first
started clubbing homers in all
the ball yards.
They used to look for a Sec
ond LajOie in Che old days, an
other Ty Cobb and 50 on. None
ever came along who did things
as we'll as these two super
stars who played their baseball
under different conditions than
the games of today.
Still they are looking for EN-,
bryo Babe Ruths in the sticks. OF
interest to the fans who want to
look ahead the leading home run
hitter of baseball this season may
be a 17-year-old youngster play
ing with the Globe team in the
Arizona League.
Carson Looks Good
He is a farm hand Of the San
Francisco Seals. Early last week
when the averages we're sent to
this city Carson had made 80
home runs and probably will roll
up so before the season ends.
Carson, playing his first year
of professional ball after his
graduation from the Legion team
of the Coast, is being talked
about as a $250,0O0 ball player.

NEW CLEVELAND
PARK PRAISED

Cleveland is going to have
one of the best baseball plants
in America. The new stadium,
built by the city for all outdoor
sports, is to be the home of the
Indians despite the reports from
Cleveland that the owners of the
club and the city are still at
loggerheads over the rental. Much
of that controversy may be due
to the fact the owners want to
steam up interest in the new
play yard.
Players here recently for the
Yankee series say that the new
plant will be better for right
handed hitters. That is, they will
have more of a chance to shoot
the ball over the left-field wall,
whereas in the present ball arena
that was next to impossible.
The foul lines from home
plate to both left and right
fields are exactly 320 feet long.
It is $50 feet from home plate
to the bleachers in center field.
The Shriners played a base
ball game at that stadium the
other day and many chose the
uncovered bleachers in center
field to watch the battle.
They found they had a clear
vision Of the play. AS the stands
are some distance from the home
plate, there is plenty of space
for players to get foul balls.
The plant Is fitted up as COM
pletely as any of it's kind in the
country. Players go from the
dressing room directly to the
dugout through a tunnel.
UmpireS can flee angry fans
the same way and the pop
bottle tOSser will have to have
quite a whip to reach the
offending arbiter.
The scoreboard there is said to
be the best in the country. Fig
ures on balls and strikes, num-
bers of the players. outs and
running score are illuminated.

BLUE PLAYING
NELLFOR SOX

Younger men may sulk when
they see no chance of a share
at world series cash. but Lou
Blue, the veteran first baseman,
is out there giving his all to the
lost Sox cause. Blue, by the
way, is the best first baseman
the Sox have had in years.
Blues heart is in his work. He
likes to go up there at the head
of the batting order and get on
first base. He is as keen for his
job as if he we're with a con-
tender. Eight more players like
Blue and the Sox would be fight
ing for the flag.
Chicago observers say that
Blue has proven a most vaIu-
able player to Owner Charles
COmiskey in his efforts to
build a winner.
AS lead-off man he compares
with Max Bishop of the Athletics.
Some one figured recently that
Blue was averaging about .450 as
a lead-off man. In 389 trips to
the plate Blue has got on the
paths ITS times. He is hitting
better than 800.

Despite the defeats, Manager
Pat Deenihan declares his team

feated with perfect record of

TIGERS PERK Up
WITH STAR BACK

The value of one player to a
team may not be conspicuous
when a team is grinding out It's
big supply of victories as the
Athletics have, but good perform
ers are the key men in the teams
in the second division. For IN
stance, there is Charley Geh'
ringer of the Tigers. When his
arm is in shape and he is play
ing his normal game the Detrolt
team is no pushover. He SeVS
the pace for the Tigers.
Charley'S Absence Hurt
Out of action from early IN
Nav until July 4, Gehringer's loss
to Bucky Harris men was ap-
palling. The team won three out
of Is games. 1t slid so fast notn'
ing stopped it until it got into
the cellar, a spot seldom graced
by a Detroit team.
From the time that Geh-
ringer returned until the Tigers
quit their home lot for the
road the team won five out Of
nine games. The Tigers today
are playing better than 500
ball.
Chief Hogset, the frail Indian
pitcher, who has been yelping for
an appetite to build up his
stature, is going to be a winning
pitcher for the Tigers and a
little trip to Toronto is the rea.
son for it all. HogSett did not
seem able to put the scales up
to where a pitcher ought to rate
to become a winner. The short
stay in Toronto added IS precious
pounds to his slender frame and
as soon as he came back to the
Tigers he turned in a victory
to prove that the absense of the
required poundage was what pre-.
vented him from winning his
battles.
