THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1938. By CLIFF STERRETT THERE SHE ) 1S, SIR--ALL REPAIRED AN' FINE AS A FIDDLE, BIG QUESTION IN BIG LEAGUE IS GREENBERG Swatter Hi!; O_ul Two Hom- ers—Can He Beat Rec- ord of Babe Ruth? (By Associated Press) The rest of the baseball world may be hanging on the outcome of the Pittsburgh-Chicago series but what excites the Detroit Tigers most in the American League is whether Hank Greenberg can sock three more homers between now and Sun- day. Big Hank hit his 57th and 58th homers in the short second game yesterday afternoon as the Tigers trimmed the St. Louis Browns twice. The question is now whether Big Hank can equal Babe Ruth’'s major league record of 60 homers estalb- lished in 1927, Chicago’s victory over Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon was earned through a magnificent mound per- formance by sore armed Dizzy Dean nnd the win reduced the Bucs' lead to half a game in the pennant chase. The Red Sox walloped the Ath- Jetics while the Indians downed the Chicago White Sox on a five-hitter by Bobby Feller. The Yankees made it two straight by beating the Senators.

He pitches for an amateur city league baseball team, excels in golf, can hold down a guard position on a basketball team, is hard to take in tennis, and possesses a proud indoor handball record. i Although Phillips is valuable as a pitcher, he can usually be de-, pended upon to bring in a couple ! of runs each game. ' “I'm a ecinch to get on,” he points out. “I'm so small they can’t pitch 5 i scores are a result| of walks. He often hammers hot grounders into the outfield as well..

HO!/ \ -WILL T SMEAR 'EM FOOLIN' ME- WHEN THEY COME AROUND FROM THE OTHER 6\DE"))> UESTION: What is meant by Q the football expression “gap?” : Answer: When an offensive end, for example, moves out from his tackle, a gap is formed. Hence the expression “gap.” When any offensive linemen are separated by a few feet, a gap is formed. Any gap other than between end and tackle, however, is usually thought of as a “line divide” or splitline. ¢ (Copyright, 1938) HERRING DAVLIN TOPS SMALL FRY WITH 34 TALLY Herring pinster Bob Davlin last night rolied 534 for three games to lead the “school.” His Herring team mates added to his total suf- ficiently to give the Herring three games out of three over the Sar- dines.
