Lou Hos Absolute Proof
He Was Born in 1903

The TACT is, Lou is somewhat
veXed by the tendency of little chill
dren to run when they see him COM
ing, for fear of being caught under
the scaffolding when he collapses.
The hazy notion that Gehrig fought
by the side of Albert Sidney Johns
ton at Shiloh is wormWood to the
big first baSeman. He possesses az
hdavlts to prove he was born on
June 10, 1903. Before long he'll be
forcing them on total strangers and
innocent passers-by, in self defense.
Its a HI of thing to be a
guest at your own wake" complains
Mr.. Gehrig, especially when YOU
don't figure you have a wake COM
ing"
just to forestall the department
OF public safety, which is planning
to tear Lou down as a fire hazard
and build a new tenement with hot
and cold running water in his place
we will describe the appearance of
this stately ruin from a first-hand
study, as of this week.
The subject Gehrig's legs still are
roughly two laps to the quarter-mile.
That is to say, they could pass for
a couple of redwood trees if they
were fenced off.
Gehrig's biceps are about the same
distance around as Lefty Gomez,
after dinner. If you can't wait
till Lefty has had his dinner, they
are the same thickness as Red Ruff
flng before lunch.
Age has stopped Gehrig to a
point where he is practically per-
pendicular.
There is gray in Gehrig's hair. but
as Lou points out, Earl Combs hair
turned white when Combs was 25.
There wasn't any reason for
Combs hair to turn white" says Mr..
Gehrig. I'VE never could figure it
out, but Gomez thinks it was some
kind of signal. Combs is a great
guy for signals"

the people about whom they

friendly, an athlete will lie to a
reporter or sports writer. He
will give him quotes and then
deny them badly the next day

athlete knows not, and justice is

bedeviled by the knowledge that
certain members Of his staff
must be close to the athletes
about whom they write If they
are to present the intimate, col.
orfuJ personal stories that sell
papers. The best writer's in the
world cannot make a character
live by sitting at a desk in the
office and rewriting clippings.
I had a sports writer once who
uuarreled with a baseball man
ager. The justice Of the quarrel
was unimportant. The impor-
tant thing was that until the
disagreement was patched up,
that writer was useless to me on
that assignment. He couldn't
travel intimately with the team,
he couldn't get into the dress

badinage stories that the reader
loves. He was an outsider and
therefore valueless.

Must Watch Step

The sports writer's, especially
the feature writers and column
lists. soon discover that they can
have no friends except among
their own craft and among non
athletes, if they are at all inter
ested in their own integrity and
conscience, and most of them
are.
The story given in confidence
to the sports writer is sealed.
And usually it is q dangerous
and awk W ard thing. The
writer's curiosity and his desire
for exclusive information that
will some day be useful to him,
as well as his instincts of self
protection, prompt him to listen
to these confidential stories, but
in nine cases out of 10 he wishes
that he hadn't, because they put
him right in the bag and keep
him there.
And yet the sports editor is
