“It scorns safe to predict that no
man ever will hit 501 home runc
to take Ruth's record away from
him. Today he is at least 25C
beyond Rogers Hornsby and Cy
Williams—the one and only home
run hitter of the decades.’’
The day after this dispatch was
filed, the Babe himself hit No. 501,
just as though at the age of 35
he was lighthearted enough to be
gin collecting the second five hun
dred. It would be just like the ir
repressible Babe to consider 1.000
home runs not at all beyond his
reach. Ten years ago you could
have received the royal razz any
where around the circuit by sug
gesting that Mr. Ruth would get
even close to 500.
There has been only one Babe
Ruth in over a half century of
baseball. There may, as the fore
caster quoted above asserts, never
be his equal as clouter.
Yet they said there would never
be another Tilden—and look at the
pace Cochet and Lacoste have set
since they toppled Big Bill from
the tennis top.
There never would be another
Lenglen, the experts said, but the
same critics a few years later ac
claimed Helen Wills as the great
est of all time; now they vision
Betty Nuthall as the ultimate suc
cessor to the American queen of
the courts.
Matty's record of 372 victories
for the National League was to
stand the test of time, but old
Pete Alexander has surpassed it
this season.
There never would be another
Alf Shrubb or Hannes Kolehinain
en—then along came Paavo Nurmi.
Red Cagle is dashing around the
gridirons where Red Grange left
off
Hagen and Jones combined to
shove into the background the great
golf achievements of Vardon, Tay
lor, Ball and the other Britons
who were supposed to remain un
disputed on the pedestal of the
royal and ancient game.
There may never be another
Ruth or another Jones or another
Nurmi but there is no proof of it.
It would add a novel touch to
the year’s drama to have Mary K.
Browne make another try for golf
, ing honors in a season marking
the debut of that other famous
tennis champion, Maury McLaugh
t lin, in the men’s -amateur golf
championship at Pebble Beach.
, Both of these California products
, were national tennis titlehclders
I * In the same years, 1912 and 1913,
« ' and each still has a substantial
I
following interested in any achieve
ments they may turn in.
The difficulty happens to be that
Miss Brbwne is still outside the
I amateur pale, not for anything
connected with golf, but because
the powers-thot-be considered her
professional tennis tour of a few
years ago "detrimental to the best
interests" of the royal and ancient
game. It would be a graceful ges
ture. one that would find favor
in the sports world at large, for
the U. S. G. A. to restore Miss
Browne to good standing in time
for the national tournament at
Detroit.
Belief pitchers seldom make good
itavting pitchers. Some time ago
[ asked 3ucky Harris the reason
or this. Bucky handled one of
he bast relief men of them all.
Firpo Marberry, who helped Wash
ington win pennants in 1924 and
1925.
"There must bo something
psychological about it or else it is
like the fellows who prefer attend
ing to other people’s troubles than
to their own,” said Bucky. "Mar
berry always acted to me as though
he didn't feel at ease unless he
went in there with the bases
Jammed, no one out and the ball
game at stake. Put him in there
at the start of a game and he
usually would feel so lonesome he
wou’d fill the bases. The trouble
was he didn't solve his own troubles
i as well as those some other pitcher
left for him.”

miles of steady running.
An indication of the built-in quality of this car is
shown in the extensive use of fine steel forgings.
More steel forgings, in fact, are used in the infw Ford
