He has only been playing regularly since 1928. His aggregate home run output w 174 up to the start of this sea | son and he is beyong the now. Give Foxx as long a baseball life as Ruth, with about 15 more y of active play, and he will need to average close to 35 home runs per season to top the 700 mark. It's possible, therefore, for eith- er Gehrig or Foxx to shoot for the record over the next 10 or 15 years, but it must be remembered that the competition is tougher, the pitching gettting better and the ball no livelier. Neither Jim- mie nor Lou now has a chance to plaster the kind of a “rabhit” ball that Ruth started to batter all over the premises in 1920.

BURNING UP ASSOCIATION MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 12. — It's perfectly all right with Outfielder Bob Holland that the Boston Braves swapped him for Joc Mow- ry early this season Mowry is now doing what Hol- land used to do—help hold down the Braves' bench. Meanwhile Holland is filling in nicely with { the Minneapolis American Asso- | ciation club, batting around .340 and maintaining a place as run- ner-up to his team-mate, Joe Hau- ser, for the home run champion- ship of the circuit. 1 1932 and he has any ball out n he cannects.
