In other words. that 80" next to

digits. It's hurdle as high as the

name of Greenberg in connection with
Ruth's great record. But you can
hardly avoid speaking Hanks name.
Here he is. on the second day OF
August, full two weeks ahead of the
pace Ruth set in 1927.
Hardened observers and canny
characters like the New York Yankees
are relaxing their skepticism enough
to concede Hankus chance to beat
the record. Ruth was Yankee when
he did it, and the Yanks are proud
of the figure, but they give Hank a
chance.

Greenberg Threatening
Ruth's Home-Run Record.
By JOHN LARDNER,

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Joe Medwick
Is one kind of hitter, and Hank Green
berg is another. Discussing Medwicks
weaknesses, Gabby Hartnett said:
Here's what do. I set there and
give the sign for the pitch, and then
I run like hell down to third base to
back up the throw from the outfield."
With Greenberg, you don't back up
any throw at third base. You stand
at the plate with your cap off, scratch
ing your head and whistling six or
eight bars of Am I Blue?" while the
big kosher slugger charges around the
bags like a herd of restless buffalo.
Third base is just a whistle stop, and
nobody whistles when this train goes
through.
Once every two or three years,
somebody makes gentle pass, about
this time of the season, at George H.
Ruth's home-run record of so. Last
year 1t was Joe Di Maggie. Toward
the end of July, Joe was couple Of
beats ahead of Ruth's pace. A few
weeks ago, Jimmy Foxx was making
menacing motions of the same sort.
But Di Maggie collapsed in 1887, end
ing the year with 40 homers, and this
season Mr.. Foxx, though still far
from silent, has lost his early speed.

Even in victory, Mike Kelley,

Quantrille and Lombardy, with

A kindly, but gruff old soul
was Jim Ten Eyck. I knew him

times when his megaphone

ball player. He was a winning
player and a leading driver Of

patient Of the shortcomings Of
players who could not do the
things that he did irlstinctively.
He taught Lyn Larry how to
bat, and the shortstop was a
more formidable man at that
plate under Hornsby than he
had ever been before. He got
after any man who hit at bad
balls.
Nor did the Texan ever spare
himself. He ridiculed his in
ability to go back on pop flies
behind the infield. He never
could do that, a fact which was
little short of astounding, in
view Of Hornsby's tremendous
ability in every other depart

One Of the battling develop

Hornsby in some capacity. Per
