WHAT 1S THAT MOB DOIN'™ OUT N FRONT OF THE HOUSE? . . BE THE STORY This is the - last of ten stories relating the prodigious world’s scries feats of the one and only Babe Ruth. Nearing the end of his career, the Babe this year will make his_tenth and perhaps last appearance in the classic. By EDWARD NEiL (Associated Press hporis Writer): | NEW YORK, Sept. 27. — The e stadium is packed with thrilled humanity, 80,000 of the faithful, absorbing the thrills of he opening ceremonies, yelling cheering, restless for the start of the 1932 world series, the Yankee;l versus the Cubs. Perhaps it will be Lefty Gome: brilliant youngster for the Yanks; against the thin, side-burned southern gentleman, Guy Buch, of the Cubs. The master minds ar: there, the field studded with base- ball's greatest stars. The thrill of thrills comes in the very first inning. Barl Comb: may hit or go out, Joie Sewell do the same. Two ball players, taking their cuts. But third in that Yankee batting order comes Babe Ruth and the_howl that rocks that stadium, the tingle that runs from one end of that packed park to the other, is b all’s greatest slugger produces for his fandom. Baccbans Biggest Thrill The Babe will step up to the plate in the first inning, in the meds glamorous spot of baseball’s most glamorous career. It's his tenth world’s series, a record no other player can challenge. He holds 29 other world’s series marks. Every time he does any- thing at the plate, whether it be striking out in the magnificent Ruth fashion, or poling a ball far from the premises for anocther home run, some sort of a record tumbles. alone Bu! more interesting at this moment even than his historic fea’s is the Babe himself, the great invalid, back at the age of 38, making perhaps his last ap- pearance in world’s series play. Showman Above All All through the last three weeks of the season, Ruth has been on the sidelines, threatened with an appendicitis operation.

Anyone of tihat them, from Earl Combs and John Sewell down to the pitcher, is likely to come up there in the pinch and knock the ball out of the lot. “Show me another team that has a slugger like Dickey batting sixth, Can't hit, eh?. ..” A further delving into the fi- gures bears out - Grimm. The Ruppert Rifles had slugged out only 162 home runs, 193 trip- les and 234 two-baggers in 143 games through Sept. 13. The injured Ruth led in home runs with 40, followed by Geh- rig, 32, Dickey and Lazzeri, 15 each, and Sewell, nicknamed Slug- ger” by his mates, 11.
