tenden. Did you hear about
Lou, the hotel man asked. Joe
automatically said No but he
knew what ne meant 1t was a
bitter blow TO the manager as fms
was written TO the life and work
of fine friend.
The word soon flashed from one
Yankee 10 another. Although they
knew the great player was sick
unto death, il was subject they
avoided. He was too close a friend
to think of in those terms. They
remembered his brilliant play at
first base and those long drives
he sent over the fence in all the
parks
To the old timers who had spent
many years with the popular hero
.it was shocking blow. To the
newcomers who knew only the
legend that was Gehrig IL was
crushing news. Hardly a word was
spoken AS the players quickly dis
.persed and went TO their rooms.
