The next day Manager Mill- | er Huggins used him at first base | in place of Wally Pipp and he never left the post until he had played 12,130 successive regularly scheduled American League games. He also played and countless exhibitions. Lou was a big handsome, dimple- | cheeked fellow who always looked the picture of health. feet, one inch and weighed 205 pounds. Playing every game became a fetish with him and becaue of this, or because of his naturally careful habits, he trained more faithfully than almost any other player in the major leagues. Like all baseball veterans he had injuries. Once in 1934 he was struck by a pitched ball during an exhibi- tion game at Norfolk, Va, and suf- fered a moderate concussion. Again in 1937 he hurt a finger on his right hand. In 1938 he broke a thumb. But nothing that ever happened to him over that long stretch of years kept him from getting into the line- up at least briefly each game. For the public this was the notablc feature of Gehrig’s career.

Although he never ieved the princely salary of Ruth, his contem- poray, Gehrig was believed to have earned approximately $400,000 from baseball. He entered the $25,000 bracket in 1928 and reached a peak $39,000 in 1938. Living comfortably but conserva- tively in a suburban home during most of these years, he was believed to have preserved a good percentage ; of his income. He married Eleanor Grace Twit- chell of Chicago at the close of the 1933 season. They had no cmldxen His Record Played 2,130 successive regularly scheduled American League base- ball games in 14 years. Participated in 34 world contests.
