on the field, handed the lineup to the umpire and officially turned his position at first base over to Babe Dahlgren. He could have re- mained in the ball game but it was. 6 decision of his own choosing, the kind of decision which made the name of Gehrig respected in base ball. He was c partial victim of infantile paralysis, with hopes of curing 1t and returning to the game he loved in following years.
 But fate dealed itself a hand in this pitiful episode, which found Gehrig getting steadily worse in the next two, years, prior to his death. Up until the day he died, on. June 2nd, he still remained hopeful of returning tc baseball, considerate of others, a clean living American, and a credit to the game. He remained the same cheerful and determined Lou that he was when he started on his career in baseball 16 years before. On that fatal day he passed away peacefully, an inspiration to those he loved and those who loved him, the youth of the nation. The Iron Horse" of baseball was dead. Gehrig the ball player was dead, but the ideals he stood for and upheld will never die, as he made baseball a better game. That's why every real sports enthusiast should have stopped and paid homage to Lou Gehrig, great baseball player, and a great Ameri- can, by reflecting upon and en- deavoring to live up to those ideals for which he stood.

Yesterday, Sunday, June 2, 1046 was a memorable but sad occasion in the history of baseball. Americas favorite pastime. it was the fifth anniversary of the death of Lou Oehrig, who has gone down in sports annals as one of the game's immortals. Lou, was not only a great baseball player as proven by his 2,13O consecutive game record or lifetime batting average of .340, but was a clean living American, a good example for the youth of the nation.
 The youngsters will remember Gehrig in his later years at first base with the Yankees, for whom he played 16 years, for his sterling fielding achievements, but more than that his uncanny accuracy when up at bat. The oldtimerS will recall the Gehrig of old, in the 1927 era when he was popu- larly proclaimed to be a member of the famed "Murderer's Row." which was composed of Earl Combs, Tony Lazzeri, Bob Meusel, Babe Ruth and himself. These four, the cleanup men in the lineup of the Tanks of old, had every pitcher in the American League shaking in their shoes, as they tagged the ball for a hit every 99 times out of 100 at bat. They were an un- beatable combination. On May 2, 1899, that consecutive streak of ball games and that .340 batting average, which had made him fa- nous and had tabled him as the Iron Horse" of baseball, was brok- en- On this tragic day Gehrig, with score card in hand, appeared
