More and more II becames appar- ent that Joe Di Maggie is not only a talented ball player but a mighty sensible younster as well. The New York Yankee sophomore star has come into his own this season. Last year he more than lived up to the nice things said about him before lle came up as freshman. This year his work shows improvement what with the extra year of ex- perience.
 Di Maggie is an established star after season and half of major league baseball But he has no il- lusions concerning his own capa- bilities. He is a good ball player and he knows it. But those who
 would stamp him another Babe Ruth just because he happens to be setting the home run pace for the American League are likely to find the youngster simply does not care to be another anyone"
 Joe admits he has no ambitions to emulate the Sultan of Swat. He IS willing to let Teammate Lou Gehrig enjoy that honor. Joe, for the present. would be content to win the runs -batted-in champion ship of his league.
 Naturally he would like to win the batting title, but next to that he gets his big thrill out of clearing the sacks of runners. Hits, when they mean runs. They're what Joe wants.
 His attitude is absolutely right. There is no reason in the world why he should follow in the foot
 stepse of any former great of the diamond. Joe has a personality of
 his own. He plays a brand of ball
 of his own. He is not another
 Ruth in temperament and never i will be. As far as Di Maggie is
 concerned Ruth's laurels are secure
 Joe is content to carve out his own
 future along his own lines. ] Di Maggie was one of the heroes
 of the recent American League vic
 tory over the Nationals in the an-
 star test. One of the gems of the game was his throw to cut off
 Whitehead at the plate and end a
 National uprising. That play went
 long way to make up for Joe's
 failure in the all-star test of 1886

 Game Edge in A. L.
lBy Associated Pressl

Jinxed at home, the Phillies have won six of their seven tussies cn the current road trip, including two straight from the Cubs, Wednesday and yesterday. Walters allowed but four hits for his ninth victory against four losses away from home, while his at home record shows only three wins against six set backs.
 The Chicago Cubs had their Na- tional League lead cut to five games as the second place Giants out lasted the Cincinnati Reds. The Dodgers made it two-in-a-row over the Pirates and the Bees trompled the Cards.
 Lou Gehrig found the range for two homers and the Yankees swept their four-game series with the White Sox, to stretch their edge over the rest of the American league clubs to nine full games. The Red Sox staggered through with a slight margin over the Indians, ex- tending their winning streak to ten games without loss. Hank IGreenburg's homer gave the Tigers victory over the Athletics, while the Browns belted the Senators.
