The next step, Of course, is
clear. Schmeling must meet Big
Boy Peterson in order to prove
himself and, after that there's w.

In other words, Schmeling is
getting quite a nudging around,
but I'm beginning to wonder
whether he has anybody but him
self to blame. He still holds the
winning hand-Farr isn't out of
England yet-but the way he's
been going for the last month, I
think he must be playing the
cards by the bicycles on the backs.
AS his manager might and
probably would and will say, "he
shoulda stood in America" max
ing himself available for the Sep
TENDER fight that was promised
him by all parties. Instead, when
he was given the old gimlet on
the Braddock-Louis business in
Chicago, he first said he'd never
return here. Then he said he
couldn't, because he and Farr had
signed to meet in London Sep
TENDER l. This latter was the
commissions "out" yesterday.
Interested In Farr
Briefly, the Louis people now
have Schmeling in position where
he seems to be avoiding their man.
They're not especially interested
in Farr, except as a means of
blocking Something's counter
plans. Farr, as a matter of fact,
won't draw caricatures at the
Yankee Stadium and they know
it, but what they do want is to
get Schmeling where they think
they have him now-and I admit
they're getting reasonably close.
OF course, Farr has signed a pre-
vious contract with Schmeling and
the British labor laws are pretty
stringent. They even take the old
fashioned stand that a contract is

President Roosevelt is sure to
see this years home-run king in
action at the all-star game today
but he is not likely to see anyone
capable of smashing Babe Ruth's
home-run record.
Those so homers Babe hit in
1927 astounded the baseball world.
1t was admittedly a marvellous
feat, but in retrospect today it
seems all the more wonderful.
The best sluggers in the game
have been shooting at that record
for 10 years now and haven't even
come close to it. And with the
dead ball returning next year, we
are less likely than ever to see it
beaten.
BaSebalPs four leading Sluggers
Joe DtMaggio of the Yanks:
Hank Greenberg of the Tigers; Mel
OFT of the Giants, and Joe Med.
wick Of the Cardinals-will be in
action today.
NcHEAS way squirt
One Of those four probably will
lead the home-run parade, unless
Lou Gehrig of the Yanks, who also
is playing today, should make q
remarkable squirt between now and
the end Of the season.
But at their current rate of
nome run production, not one Of
them has chance to coming even
close to Ruth's record.
DiMaggio has 20 homers to his
credit, compiled in Sc games.
Should he continue at the same
pace for the rest of the year he
will have a total of At for the
season and that's long way from
Babes so.
Four In One
Home run records and 400 bat.
ting averages are not made at the
expense of pitchers like Stratton.
Dean, Grove, Hubbell, Mungo or
Harder. Even the best of SluggerS
are lucky to get one hit in four
times at bat when such pitchers
are at their best.
But they do fatten their hitting
marks at the expense of palukaS
especially when those palukas are
having exceptionally bad days.
If they could hit against poor
pitching every day, DiMaggio and
Gehrlg and Medwick and the
other power house swingers might
break Ruth's record.
Meanwhile, Babe can sit back
and chuckle as the boys take their
toe holds and swing for the mark
he set UP for them to shoot at,
secure in the belief that they
probably never will touch it.
