PINCH HITTING
STARTS GEHR|G

Probably more interesting than
Lou Gehrig's new consecutive
game record is the manner in
which it was started. It was
back in 1925, when Gehrig was
just a substitute for Wally Pipp,
sitting on the bench every after
noon with nothing more to do
than put on his uniform and
take it off again.
One day in May the Yankees
were playing in Chicago. Gehrig
was sent in to pinch hit for
Peewee Wanninger that after
noon and, although he doesn't
remember what he did when he
came to the plate, the chances
are he hit safely, maybe broke
up the game with a home run.
Otherwise it isn't likely that he
would have had the nerve to
do what he did that night, for
Gehrig was painfully shy and re-
tiring in those days.
Looked Up Higgins
Anyway, he looked for Miller
Higgins that night after din
ner, but the manager had gone
out for the evening. Gehrig, his
mind once made up, decided to
wait until Higgins came in. He
sat in the hotel lobby until mid
night, although he usually re-
tired at $50. The other players
came in, glanced at the silent
figure in surprise and went to
bed.
Finally the lobby was deserted.
A clerk drowsed behind the desk.
An elevator boy nodded sleepily
over the early edition of a morn
ing paper. Finally Higgins re-
turned.
He saw Gehrig and paused. He
looked at him a second time be-
fore he could believe his eyes,
knowing Gehrig's habit of re-
firing early.
What are you doing up at
this hour?" Higgins finally asked,
his tone losing its intended Sc
verify in wonder.
Explains Long Wait
IT wanted to see you," Gehrig
replied.
What about?"
IT understand you are getting
Koenig from st. Paul"
That's right"
II understand you are sending
a couple of players there in
payment for him."
That's right, too"
"Will you send me over there?"
Higgins looked at him in
amazement. He asked why Geh-
rig wanted to leave a major
league club and go to the minors.
Because I want to play ball"
Gehrig explained. I'm sick of
sitting on the bench doing moth
ing. I want a job I can work at"
Higgins smiled, patted Gehrig
on the back and told him to go
to bed.
"Get a good sleep, young fel
low, and don't worry. Everything
will be all right" the manager
toP him.
