batted 300 for II consecutive
years. Ruth dropped below the
select set in 1925, when many
thought he would pass out Of
the big league picture. But
Ruth can graciously allow that
mark to stand to the credit Of
Wagner. He holds no fewer
than 76 records, 81 of which
were made in world series
games.
Home run king beyond chal-
lenge of all rivals, the Babe
now has 704 home runs to his
credit. He started the season
with 686, and so far has poled
18. He has drawn more than
1000 bases on balls, most of
them intentional. It is safe to
say that had the pitchers
pitched to Ruth as they did to
other great hitterS, he would
have passed the 1000 mark in
home runs long since.
Let's look over the Babes
records in world series play,
where the checks are down and
every move means money. He
has been in 10 world series and
hit 800 or better in six Of them.
His one failure-and Ruth'S
failures were ever as colossal
as his SucceSSes-waS in 1922
against the Giants. Ruth hit
all Of .118 in that tilt. More
than offsetting that degrading
experience was his all-time av-
erage of .625 in crushing the
st. Louis Cardinals in 1928. He
has batted in no fewer than
33 runs in nine series.

ed for above do not include the

Griff did not dwell upon an
other of Ruth's contributions
to baseball. He made over the
game to suit his style. He
yanked it from the brink of
ruin following 1925 sour world
series and elevated it to the
realm of big business. He drew
more people than any other
ball player in all the world. He
made himself a national figure,
equaled only by Jack Dempsey,
in the field of sports.
