NEW YORK, Aug. 7.@WR-First
baseman Johnny Mize of the New
York Giants said today that Babe
Ruth's all-time home run mark OF
so could be broken Eat a large
cost. but 1 doubt very much wheth-
er I can do it,"
Mize, who has clouted "a cir
cult smashes this season and is
exactly abrest of Ruth's 1927 rec
ord, explained:
IT think it's possible for some
body to equal Ruth's record of 60
homers.
SIN order to do it, though, a guy
would have to try and hit every
pitch over the fence. And if he
tried something like that, he'd
probably wind up hitting some
where around 200. That's a large
cost, isn't it,"
However, when Ruth his his 90
homers in 1927 he had the sensa-
llOtldl aver VI .oCo. IL was INV
the highest of his career. In 1928
he batted 1893.
Earlier this week, The Babe him
self said he doubted whether Mlze
who is his wife's cousin, could
shatter his home run mark this
season. But even if he does"
Ruth laughed, "it'l still be in the
family"
II don't think I'll break that rec
ord either" the husky Giant clout-
err commented as he rested on the
handle of his bat in the New York
dugout.
"There are too many obstacles
involved. After all, if a pitcher
throws to you on the outside, you
can't always reach out and try to
pull the ball.
