Baseball's Iron Horse

I GU GEHRIG, iron horse of the
II world champion Yankees, pay
ing no attention to passing years,
broke eight major league records
and tied another in 1888.
Some of the marks were already
in his possession, of course, but he
added to their luster, and placed
them still farther beyond reach of
hopefuls who will try to beat them
in future years.
His amazing endurance record be-
gan in June, 1925, when he replaced
Wally Pipp as Yankee first sacker.
When he hung up his glove at the
end Of the past season he had ex-
tended his string of consecutive
championship games without an in
terruption to 2,l22. This total doesn't
include world series or exhibition
games.
The redoubtabIe diamond warrior
played in 157 American league
games last season, a feat that tied
another major league mark for first
basemen and at the same time ex-
tended LOUIS own mark for consec-
utive years in which he has played
$50 or more games to IL.
Other records credited to him in
clude: most years scoring 100 or
more runs, Is; most consecutive
years scoring 100 or more runs, IS;
home runs with bases filed, %, and
most double plays by a first base
man, l57.
Thirty-three major records fell,
and ID were tied. One of the out

Among newcomers in the field Of
popularity are very attractive black
dresses for afternoon wear that are
prettified with white bead embroi-
derry. The character of the embroi-
dered motifs are unique. Some
times the embroidery is done
around the neckline in the new neck

be a dash of the white beadwork

The newest of the new is for a

Money Players

a T A time when cries of paid
IA athletes" and Subsidized play
ers" fill the air-which is practical
ly all the time-the news that the
University of Florida has a definite
salary schedule for her footballers
comes as a refreshing southland
breeze.
At the Gainesville school, as at
other institutions of the Southeast
ern conference, no attempt is made
to cover up this fact. The pay-off
is all above-board.
Sam McAllister, assistant to head
coach Josh Cody, in speaking of
the system, said:
'Since we've come out in the open
about things that are hidden at so
many other schools we've had no
lessening or morale. We've had less
trouble over eligibility, and we've
had better football because every
body's satisfied"
There are two schedules under
which the athletes are subsidized.
First string players receive full
scholarships, worth approximately
$500 and covering board, room and
tuition. In addition to this they are
given a weekly wage that varies
from 81 to a high of $3.50. Players
who aren't top varsity material get
half scholarships and a wage.
Tutors assist the players in their
studies. These teachers are paid
by the athletic association, a cor
poration separate from the univer-
sity itself.
Schools of the southeastern con-
ference are honest, at least. Their
players aren't paid by the dark of
the moon.
However, many officials dislike
the Southeastern conferences meth
cd of operation. Branch Hickey,
vice president of the st. Louis Cardi-
nails baseball club, in addressing a
national meeting of college football
coaches and directors, pulled no
punches in naming that conference
as a violator of the amateur code.
He pointed out that practices must
conform in all colleges else it be-
comes the duty of college associa-
tons to draw the line between those
who conform to amateur standing:
and those who do not.

How Allows Are Produced

Alloys are produced by combining
two or more metals, usually by
melting them together. The combi-
nation of different metals may be
made to increase specific chemical
or mechanical properties or to Gre
ate properties not possessed by any
of the constituents. Steel is an alloy
of iron and carbon. Copper and
zinc are alleged to make brass.
Nickel silver is a combination of
copper, nickel, and zinc, and bronze

BY GALE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

NEW YORK, July 19-At the
rate they are going to pot. the once
proud Giants will be lucky to finish
as high as fourth in the National
League race.
Only few days ago they were a
scrappy, confident club, certain
their hitting would enable them to
catch Cincinnati in the stretch.
Now they appear all through and
the Reds can stop worrying about
them.
They seem like a collection of
ghosts calculated one veteran of
the press box. The National
League might be weaker than the
American, but it's not bad enough
for club like this to win"
The fines and suspensions plas-
tered on them over the week end by
President Ford Frick appeared to
take all the fight out of Col. Will
Terry's men, and the injuries to Lou
Chiozza and Harry Danning
knocked them into a heap.
Terry is very unhappy.
Almost overnight they have found
themselves forced to ball back on
perhaps the most inept infield this
side of the minor leagues. No re-
placements are in sight-not until
Bill Jurges' suspension ends a week
from now. That is a long time to
wait at the rate Cincinnati is going.
Terry sits glumly on the bench,
seldom sticking his nose on the field
during the game. Unaccustomed 70
bad breaks, he has fallen heir to a
whole seasons quota of them all at
once, and he isn't happy. No one
on the club is happy.
Terry wandered out once yester-
day when Burgess Whitehead, play
ing an unaccustomed shortstop, let
throw from Joe Moore crack him
on the shin. For a time. as White
head thrashed around on the
ground, it appeared they might have
to bring in Pitcher Slim Melton to
play the short field, but Whitehead
finally recovered sufficiently to limp
through the remaining innings
against the Cardinals.
Giants Spirit at Low Ebb.
The Giants wouldn't argue over a
decision. Even when Ripple hit
what seemed legitimate double
down the left line with two aboard
and the umpire said foul, they only
grumbled a little to themselves. A
week ago the same decision would
have provoked at least small riot
A half-hearted movement has
been started to appeal to President
Frick to let Jurges return to short
stop at once, to call off his suspen-
sion at least until the Giants can
get some of their other regulars out
of the hospital, but that's unlikely.

Richard Atley Donald is rs years

his first full season in the major

Carl Owen Hubbell is So years old
and a southpaw. This is his 18th
season in the major leagues. his
18th with the New York Giants.
Over that span he has put many a

than Donald ever will set. Yet this
year King Carl" has been able to
pitch only one complete game, has
won but two and has received only
two starting assignments since
June 4.

Donald began the season as the
odd man on the mound staff of
the world champions, a rookie fig

IN games already lost. Hubbell, after
an operation on his salary arm was
counted on to come back and be the
meal ticket of old for a pennant-

while the crippled Giants, slipping
steadily, are tied for third place in

five games.
