The boys have got to be right some time if they keep on pre- dicting—and it’s really - béginning to look like it won’t be very long. Ruth is 38, and falk has been going around about a manager's berth for him at Boston next year. The Babe has slowed up notice- | ably and is covering right field on the well-known “dime.” The other day in the Yankee Stadium two runners scored from first on doubles hit into Ruth’s territory, and the Babe himsdelf hauled up after a sprint from first to third on a long hit by Gehrig, though the third base coach waved him home. 2 The Babe is getuing homers as lustily ' as in other years—he'd probably ‘do that propped up at the plate—but he is not drawing away from the pack. Indeéd, in mid-July Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics was leading Ruth/ by nine homers, and Klein of Phillies, Simmons of the A’s, Geh- | Those tired. Moreover, as Mrs. Ruth pointed out, there is no reason other than an inordinate love for the game, why the Babe shouldn't retire at any tife he wishes. He is well fixed—investments in insurance and in trust funds have seen to that. When Ruth finally does slam his ' last one into the stands, whether it's at the end of this sea- son or next, he'll leave a real mark at which the “Johnny Come Latelys” can shoot. In mid-July his all-time total for home runs was 637, and this mark alone will give rival sluggers pause The impregnability of the rec- ord is made clear when it is known that at the start of the current campaign 40 or more home runs a season had been hit only 19 times in the history of baseball. Rubh’ had done it 10 of those 13 times. - e — MRS. SHEEPER IS MOTHER M:s. George “Sheeper gave birth the Indians are in shooting dis-' Ann's tance.
