All Doing Well.

HANK GREENBERG, born and
reared in the Bronx, had an op-
portunity to sign with the Yankees
when he set out as a professional ball
player but wisely turned it down.
"You don't need me-" Hank told
Scout Paul Krichell. Not with Lou
Gehrig on first base. And the way
that guy is going, you won't need me
for years and years. Thanks for the
offer. But the Tigers want me, too,
and I'll sign with them and maybe
In couple of years I'll be their reg
ular first baseman."
Hank served three seasons on Tiger
farms-and succeeded Harry Davis as
the regular first baseman in Detroit
in 1888. He quickly came to glory as
home run hitter, and today is &C.
counted one Of the most valuable
players in base ball-partly because
OF his skill in the matter of driving
runs over the plate.
Meanwhile, the Tigers had bought
kid named Rudy York. Rudy had been
catcher originally but had switched
to first base. There was no room
Tor him on first base with the Tigers.
and he was shipped back to the minors
q couple Of times. He was tried at
third base but failed there. and then.
with Mickey Cochrane out for the
season, he was tried back of the plate
and proceeded to electrify the
base ball world with his home run
hitting.
The latest statistics indicate that
Gehrig, Greenberg and York. the three
feures in this base ball triangle, all
are going nicely, thank you.

Watch Out, Tommy.

AS result of his showing against
JOS Louis, Tommy Farr is in line
for some more money shots in
this country-and probably could clean
up in England if he went back now.
because his valor in the Yankee Sta
oium captured the Imagination Of the
English fight public, which never took
TO him very enthusiastically before.
The chief danger that besets him
now is that he will fall a prey to the
refining influences that are brought to
bear on a fighter when he gets into
the big money class. This danger is
especially acute in the case of a fellow
like Farr, whose greatest asset is his
ruggedness of mind and body.
He came up the hard way-out of
the coal pits and through the boxing
booths-and if he is wise he will fol-
low the hard way. But it isn't always
easy to do that when, after so many
lean years, fellow finds his pockets
lined with money.
