he was a utility infielder with the
Yankees.
Down in st. Petersburg, Fla,
last spring. Babe played first for
the Yankees in several games and
sported one of the best batting
averages of any Yankee player
during the exhibitions.
When the season opened Lou
was back on first and Babe loafed
on the bench. But, with Gehrig out,
Babes chance has finally come.
With additional experience, he's
sure he won't falter this time as
he did four years ago in his first
opportunity.
DiMag Ablence Helps Him
Babe is rs years old and stands
an even 6 feet. He weighs 1913. He
halls from San Francisco.
The injury of another San Fran
cisco star = Joe DiMaggio - also
played a part in Babes selection
to replace Gehrig. For some time
Manager Mccarthy has indicated
that he was training Fly Chaser
Tommy Heinrich to succeed Gehrig.
However, with DiMaggio out in late
April. the Yankees were short on
outfielders and Heinrich was need
ed in the garden.
So. for the first time since
George Herman Ruth moved on in
1884, the Yankees have another
