The Babe had just returned from the plate after his customary time at bat during the practice session. In three swings at the ball, two of his efforts resulted in long drives to right that would have landed far up in that section of the Yankee stadium bleachers. “I’m in great shape,” he replied. “I would like to break my record of 59 but I don’t think I will be able to do it. However, I am positive I will make 50 home runs this year. You can quote me as strong as you want to on that one.” * « Despite my knowledge of Ruth’s extraordinary slugging power, I doubted his ability to make good on his boast of 50 home runs. It struck me as if he was biting off entirely too muth * * * On September 11, exactly three weeks before the close of the 1927 American League season, with 17 games still to play, Ruth made good his spring prediction of 50 home runs or bust. It_was in a game that also had another unusual angle in connection with it, wholly aside from the fact that Ruth reached the half century mark in circuit clouts. This game marked the first victory the St. Louis Browns scored over the Yanks in 22 starts. Ruth made his 50th home run off Pitcher Milt Gaston, one of the best right handers in the American League,’ who allowed only five hits to register the sole win that St. Louis was able to score over New i York all season. Since the major league schedules consist of 154 games, in order to make 50 home runs in the season, it meant Ruth must hit a home run every third game. That’s quite some task, but he proved equal to it. ee * Now the momentous question, relative to Ruth’s 1927 home run spree, is what chance has he to break his record of 59 oho I doubt if he can 4 cee ‘ ra PIRATES DROP A GAME ical 3-0—. es with Pittsburgh to his e the Giants | Saeey \ drove in three of the Chi-|) recruit, pitched his | Indians | I put that question to Babe Ruth | middle of last March, as I sat on!

This, history shows, was true of John L. It was true of James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jef- fries, Jack Johnson, Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey.
