has participated in six races
since his graduation last July.
Cramer ran into some pretty
stiff competition at the Tri-
Cities Speedway in Bay City,
Michigan; Motor City Speed

he managed to register two

There still is only one
"Bambino". T he baseball
fans were excited over the
possibility of Johnny Mize
eoualling, or bettering, the
record of go home runs estab-
lished by the great Babe
Ruth.
In August, Mize of the New
York Giants, was five days
ahead of Ruth's 1927 sched-
ule. Well, Mize tailed Off
He and Ralph Kiner of the
Pittsburgh Pirates each fin
ished with 81 home runs. II
was a meritorious perform
ance for the two lads, but
still short of the all-time
record set by the king oi
Swat.
These current pretenders
to the throne aren't in it with
the Babe. He probably could
have hit 80 homers If the
pitchers had pitched to him
instead of walking him when
the going got tough.
Another thing about Ruth
he delivered late in the
year when the pressure was
killing and lesser men folded
up.
