He has the easy grace of that Frenchman, he's a greater hitter than Collins, ‘he outclasses Hornsby defensively and makes easy the ones that Frisch makes ook tough and he will be doing it for another ten years, barring accidents. ADMIT HE'S GOOD All this, as you may have sur- mised, concerned the remowned Charles ILeonard Gehringer, the king second sacker of the Ameri- can league and perhapb entitled to most, if not all the fulsome praise being showered upon his curly thatch by the old-timer. It's a triumph, at any rate, when one of the Old Guard ADMITS there's a betier ball player in the game today than they used to have when the favorites wore mustaches. It's been generally agreed, for some time, that Geh- ringer belongs in the current all- star cast but in this, the greatest season he has had and at a time when his play iis so wital to ithe rise of the Tigers, it has suddenly dawned on the eagle-eyed observ- ers that here is one of the lads to be remembered for some time to come. Gehringer is one of those strong, silent men. Hes in there playing great ball day after day but he isn't a showman or a spectacular personality and it is only after a considerable length of time—the steady drip-drip, as it were—that the impression of greatness bursts through astigmatized gaze and flowers into full recognition. When Bucky Harris first took over the management of the Tig- ers, most everyone expected him to be a player-pilot. Bucky was a pretty fair second baseman when he led Washington to a pair of pennants and he was still young! 3 g i S i eripugh to keep at i despme he | AR EEYL & L3 .1 {j¢emporary handicap ‘o ger But as time wenc by and Harris fatled to show in the box- ,Juores, friends joshed him a little, make them stop talking about La-|" HE'S BEEN KILLING THE BALL EVER. SINCE HE "BEANED” W _NORFOLI, ;zuggestin;, he was too willing to stay on the side-lines. “What do you want me to do?” {asked Harris. “Replace the best second baseman in the league? Yes, I mean Gehringer. Look him over some time.” ANOTHER WOLVERINE Gehringer, at that time, wasn't long out of the University of Michigan but he was hitting al- ready above .300 and fielding his | position with rare skill. He has continued to develop to the point where in his 11th major league scason he has the critics about ready to agree with the old-timer's superlative praise. Certainly he that spelled disaster to the Yankee home guard. He has been hitting around 370 all season as com- pared with his ten-year average of 316. When Michigan George Harold Sisler, it appeared the Wolverine had reached the peak in its contribution to profes- sional sport but Charley Gehringer comes pretty close to being the equal of the renowned “Sizzler” as an all-around threat now and he's only entering the prime of his career. turned out R |FORMER JUNEAU GIRL IS MARRIED According to announcements re- ceived by Mr. and Mrs. George Messerschmidt, Mr. and Mrs. Hor- ace B.
