By clated Pross. Lou Gehriz, the New York| Yankees' first baseman from Colum- | bia university, today possesses a home run record that Babe Ruth has nfissed this season—two in one game off the great Walter Johnson. Gehfig accomplished the feat in the Yankees' 7 to 5 victoary over the Senators yesterday after accept- | ing three straight defeats. Earl| Combs also hit for the circuit but the bat of Ruth could develop only two doubles and a single. The Yankees obtainder 12 hits off John- son, Morrell and Crowder. Ruth's first homer of the season was made from the delivery of Johnson was made from the de ery of Johnson on April 20, but since that time the “Big Train” has just about run over the Big Babe. Win Ballou, Washington youngster trad- ed to the St. Louls Browns this sea- son, has been the victim of three | Ruthian wallops and he has made two each off Gray of the Athletics, Holloway of Detroit, Levsen of Cleveland, Zachary of St. Louls, Wiltse of Boston, Smith of Cleveland and Blankenship of Chicago. Five times Ruth's blows have come with two runners on the bases but 17 times he has had to run around alone. He has made no| base-clearing smashes this year. On four occasions the circuit-hit- ting champlon has produced two in one day, against Shaute and Karr of Cleveland May 13, against Zachary and Balolu of St. Louis May 19, against Wiltse of Boston June 3 and against Stoner and Holloway of De- troit June &.

SHITH'S STYLE WINS “Mac” Takes Utmost Caution On orrell in 8th. ..100 320 001 110 Every Shot and Eliminates Every Minute Obstacle. McDonald Smith, one of the greatest stylists and shot-makers in professional golf, has a “stop-look- and-listen” method of putting, but it usually gets results. “Mac” takes the utmost of his native Scotch cau- tion with every stroke on the greens examining contours, feeling the re- siliency of the sod sighting his ball fore and aft, ‘hen making a final tour of inspection to eliminate all stray obstacles, no matter how mi- nute. An excellent illustration of the eftectiveness of his putting methods was furnished by Smith In carrying oft the metropolitan open golf title in a third play-off round wit ne Sarazen.
