New York -tU.R)-PI2ce in nUIn-

but if the award is based on vi
al contributions to the team IN a

Without Root. the Cubs would

winter and good control. He mixed
those three up to score some Of
the most remarkable relief vic

Root was tossed in against

Carl Hubbcll in relief roles when
the Cubs seemed lost. He beat all

DiMaggio Wants to Break Ruth'S
So He Can Meet Home Run Hing
Says He Will Try But
Thinks He Will Hit Over
Fifty This Season
By GEORGE KIRKLEY

New York. Aug. 5.-U.3-The
first time Joe DiMaggio saw Babe
Ruth he was sitting in a box In
the Yankee Stadium last year.
An0.her Yankee player said:
There's Ruth behind the dug
out"
Joe got up off the bench to take
a look at the home run king. AT
his first time at bat he hit home
run. Then he went on to hfa 70
homers in his first year in the
major leagues.
Now Joe is hot in pursuit OF
Ruth's record of 60 home runs
one Of baseballs greatest records.
I'll sure get to meet him II 1
break his record" said Joe. Il
don't think I'll hit over SO but
I'm sure going to Try for his: re-
cord. He's always been my idol
and that's the biggest incentive l
have to break his record"
The odds are against DiMaggio.
The fences are against him. A poll
of Is New York and Chicago
sportswriters showed the per-
centage against DiMaggio. A doz-
en- are of the opinion DiMaggio
won't break the record and three
think he will.
If DiMaggio should happen to
break the record it will be one
of the biggest achievements in
American League history because
most of the parks are tougher
for a right-handed hitter to hrS
home runs in than for left-hand-
erS. In addition, since Ruth broke
his record in 1927 several base
ball rules have been changed as
for instance balls bounding into
the stands which counted for
homers in Ruth's day, now are
only twobase hits. Also, screens
have been built on The fences to
keep balls from going over.
DiMaggio would be 10 or IL
homers ahead Of his present pace
if he were a left-handed hitter
because of the way the Yankee
Stadium is built It's 295 feet to
the right field fence and the left
field barrier is almost 400 feeS.
If DiMaggio doesn't break
Ruth's record this year the Babes
mark probably will stand forever
because the dead ball will be. in
troduced next year.
