‘Larruping Lou ’ Gehrig to Be Crowned Greatest Baseball Player of 1927
Such Is Opinion of Farrell
in Pre-Guessing Writers’
Pick.
VALUABLE TO YANKEES
Has Great Chance for Bat
ting Records.
By HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Crown
ing Lou Gehrig, the wrestler pro
portioned first baseman of the New
York Yankees, as the greatest ball
player of 1927 may be called con
tempt of court or an act of lese
majeste.
There are In the major leagues
two juries of eight writers each
from every station on the circuits,
who are constituted as a jury to
name at the close of the season
the most valuable ball player in
each league. To the player elected
•roes a piece of parchment and, in
the* case of the National League,
SI,OOO.
Pre-guessing the verdict of the
jury in a civil or criminal court
would be an act in contempt of
court, but the statutes of baseball
law are less severe and taking ad
vantage of leniency we will offer a
motion that regardless of Babe
Ruth, the Waner boys, Charley
Root, Gabby Hartnett, Hack Wil
son and Harry Heilmann, Buster
Gehrig is the outstanding ball play
er of the year.
To be the most valuable player to
his team, for which the prize and
the citation are offered, the winner
must not be an outstanding star
player. Last year’s winners—Bob

Since the production of ALL

machine sewing, the Rich

These machines, operated by

There is no finer machine

But, if there is a more valuable
player to his team than Lou Gehrig
is to the*Yankees and if there is
any star who stands out above him,
you can sell that star to Col. Jake
Ruppert for about one million
bucks.
Is Gehrig a great ball player?
You can get the answer by read

Yankee ball games in recent weeks.

Consider Quality
As Well As Price
Men who have experienced the satis
faction of wearing Richman’s Clothes
do not compare them with any others
sold at a similar price—instead, they
have learned to expect of Richman’s
the smart style, rich woolens and fine tailor
ing ordinarily found only in clothes sold at
very much higher figures Richman’s con
stantly growing sales volume is eloquent proof
that they are not disappointed.
*2252
The amazing value in Richman’s Clothes is made
possible only through an unparalleled combina
tion of buying, producing and marketing advan
tages—the buying power of huge cash resources
—the economies of gigantic production, in our
own great factories, with 2,000 stockholding
workers to insure quality and efficiency—the sav
ing of all middleman’s profits by our direct from
factory sales policy.
telling about what the boys call a
tight filace or a pinch.
The Babe has been through years
of the same thing when a cautious
manager ordered a careful pitcher
to send the Babe down instead of
giving him a chance to hit.
Shooting at Records
And there are other reasons why
young Buster Gehrig has a chance
to become one of the greatest ball
players of all times. He Is shooting
this year at a number of individual
records that even the great Ty Cobb
never achieves. Here are some of
them: '
1927 home run championship.
1927 American League batting
championship.
1927 most runs scored.
All time record runs batted in.
All time reco.d for long hits.
All time record extra base' hits.
What more could any ball player
strive for or any manager want in
a ball player?
Looks Like Goods
And consider this! Buster Geh
rig is 24 years of age. He is what
a football coach would call a soph
omore on the squad. He has years
ahead of him and the way he is go
ijig his future Is like an orchard of
yearling sprouts waiting only for
age to mature.
Not so long ago when Colonel
Ruppert went for more than
$200,000 on Babe Ruth’s contract
the rival magnates chuckled with
the thought—“what will the colonel
do when the Babe is through?”
The colonel can answer with the
last chuckle, which is usually the
best—
“ How are you going to pitch to
that Dutchman?”

BY DICK MILLER
Members of the Indianapolis
Country Club, Meridian Hills and
Broadmoor Clubs were besieged
with calls today fro macquaintances
who never before had expressed
such interest in getting on friendly
terms. No better reason can be ex
pressed than that next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday" the In
dianapolis District Golf Association
will play its city championship tour
nament over the three courses
named above.
And another explanation that
clears everything up is that one of
the latest bulletins states that prac
tice over the courses is not allowed.
About the only way a little tuning
up can be accomplished is to play as
a guest of some member.
