LOU GEHRIG OUT OF BASEBAL PLAYERTO BE RETIRED, | SEASONEND Great First Baseman Suf- fering Chronic Infan- tile Paralysis | NEW YORK, June 21. — Ed Barrow, President of the New York Yankees, made the start- ling announcement today that Lou Gehrig is suffering from chronic infantile paralysis and will never play ball again. The statement came after ; Gehrig turned over to Barrow a formal report of the Mayo Clin- ic experts. Gehrig spent several days at the Mayo Clinic for a thorough check of his physical condition. The one-time great first base- man has worried about his con- dition all year, after making a bad showing in the field and at bat in the early part of the sea- son. ‘He voluntarily benched himself on May 2, ending a con- | secutive game streak of 2,130. Barrow said the famous player apparently has been suffering from the ailment for the past two years but his remarkable physique enabled him to play. The veteran will be continued on the Yankee playroll for the remainder of the season, re- maining as a non-playing team captain. | FOSTER HAS ISLANDERS | HANDCUFFED Elks Beat Douglas 510 3-| Home Team Makes i Triple Play ‘, Bud Foster took the rubber for the Elks last night over in Douglas, | struck out eleven men and permit- | ted only four scattered blows as the | lodgemen set the Islanders down, ! five to three in a game full of sur-I prises. \ First tally was by Douglas when‘ Roller laid a stinging drive between ! left and center fields, between “two certain telephone poles” that give a man a home run with the Douglas ' ground rules. At any rate, Roller ran it out, as the ball went gallgplng down the sidewalk towards the Na-‘ tatorium with Koshak and Ellens-| berg in full but vain pursuit. More Surprises Second and third surprise of the game came in the fifth inning. First of the two, Douglas catcher Lonnie Grant left the game at Umpire Ev Nowell’s request. | Seems Grant was saying unkind things in harsh English to Umpire Nowell and Nowell ordered Grant to the bench. Grant refused. Nowell looked at his watch and began to count. Grant sat down, turned over his catcher’s uniform to Gribble.l coming in from right field, and Erskine took over the troubled mound from Turner who had drop- ped ten hits and four runs. Then the biggest surprise of the| day happened. Douglas made a triple | play out of Hautala’s cracking slap into center field. Addleman was on second, Joe Bird was on third, and Hautala lined the ball over second base. Bird crossed the plate before the echoes of the cracking hit had died away an@l Addleman had rounded third base— but it was all a mistake. The hit had gone into Niemi's glove, he threw to Roller at second to put out Addle- man, then Roller threw to Manning to put out Bird—the first triple play in many, many channel moons.

Foster stopped the game then by striking out Dave Turner. Highlights: Roller hit the hard- est blow for his home run we have | ever seen him make; Foster pitched with fine control; Joe Bird, new infielder for the Elks, laid down and beat out the prettiest bunt this season.

S. submarines have sunk in recent years. On three of these commanders died, the F-4 at Honolulu, and the §-51 and S-4 near Portsmouth t he Cemmended and Promoted The lieutenant commander of the 8-5, which was rammed by a steam- er off the Delaware Capes. is now a Captain on duty in the N De- partment here and is a good bet for promotion to Rear Admiral With the craft down at one end, he asembled the crew in the other and directed that a hole be bored through the hull. His own shirt was hoisted on a stick throngh the hole and waved until it attracted a passing oil tanker. The tanker cut a bigger hole in the hull and the men were brought safely out, Cook was commended and since been twice promoted, On the other hand, the command- er of the cruiser Omaha which went, pground among the Florida Keys some time agc was relieved of his command | But disaster didn't follow com- manders of ships loest during the World War. We traced three of them.« Capt. H H. Christy was command- ng the armored Cruiser San Diego when it ran into a mine laid by a German submarine off Fire Island, New York. He directed the removal of the men then jumped into the water as the cruiser rolled over and sank. Later he was promoted to rear admiral and now is in retire- ment, living at the Army and Navy Club in Washington. has Other Examples Another sample is David W. Bag- ley, commander of the Destroyer Jacob Jones sunk by a German sub- marine December 6, 1917, off the coast of Ireland. Por his “efficiency, good judgment and courage” in the emergency he was commended by Admiral Sims, was steadily promot- ed and now is a Rear Admiral in command of the Mare Island Navy Yard in San Francisco Bay. Walter N. Vernou was in com- mand of a destroyer patrolling off Ireland during the war when he sighted a torpedo headed for his ship. He put his ship about and had almost escaped when the tor- pedo leaped out of the water as | to take a look arcund, veered off on a new anele and hit the destrover far aft, taking off 35 feet of the rear of the ship. A brave gunner'’s mate, Osmond K. Ingram, seeing the approaching torpedo, raced to the rear to dumn off the depth charges so they woull not be exploded by the torpedo. He was blown to atoms by the blast. The destroyer was kept afloat by closing her bulkheads and she was towed to port next day. Vernou was promoted steadily thereafter and now is rear admiral in eccmmand of the 15th Naval Dis- trict, the Canal Zone. Ingram is commemorated by being the only enlisted man for whom a destroyer was named, ——————— MRS. BLACK ON PRINCESS | Mrs. Martha L.
