NEW YOIIK, Aug. 10. No use
tho Oehrig family. If "Ma" Gehrig
. Uvea over it, she will bo a wonder.
Of all tho folks who are Eeiting
a big "kick" out of Lou i Gehrig's
race with the immortal Babe Jluth'
for home-run-hitting honors, "Ma"
Gehrig is getting the biggest. )
That's not all. Lou's mother is
reaping a large crop of fame on
: her own account as well as her
son's. Thanks to pickled eels.
Though she can perform ' won
ders with roast beef and mashed 1
potatoes and all the other better
known and more routine items of
a husky man's diet, .it's at pickling ,
eels that she reaches the peak of
her culinary'artistry. j
Yanka Cry for Them.
She has the whole New York t
Yankee team crying for them now. i
Were "Ma" Gehrig to run out on j
the playing field with a bowl of j
ar pickled eels in the middle of a I
game, that game would stop right
there! . ; .
"Lou always 1ms been cracy
about pickled eels," she explained
to me. "He'd rather have them
v than caviar. And he's' always had
. all of them that he wanted.
"You sec. 1 believe in leaving
dieting and starving to those who
enjoy it. I believe in food lots of

; '. An Eef; Banquet
"One day Lou and I weut fish
ing togethor, and caught 86 eels.
Ho cleaned them, and I cooked
them. Wo took; the whole lot up to
hefie: how, to pickle -em
" - -' " ''
" If you'd raiso your boy to be
a home run king, feed him
pickled eels! Hero is "Mu"
Gehrig's recipe: '
"Skin and clean the eels and
let them staud in salt water for
about 12 hours. Cut them ipto
four-inch lengths, . put into a
stew pan, and cover well with a
mixture half water and half
vinegar, adding salt, pepper, bay
leaves, cloves and chopped
onions. Cook the eels in this for
15 minutes, covered. , Take out
the eels and let' the gravy boll
down. Put the eels in a long
pan, cover with the gravy,
which will set into a jelly, and
put away to cool."
Koenig all the hoys seemed to en
joy them. Before then, 1 guoss Lou

survived not one eel, I mean.

pickled eels from "Ma" Gehrig's
Tititchen were passed .out to Lou's
team mates have been many. Who
knows' that this fact doesn't ox
plain -the way those Y'aukoos have
&een winning games this season?
,.- She's a Delight J.' ';. V
She's a delight, Is 'la" Gehrig
a splendid, .motherly soul, not al
together "modern" in all her vlewB
and sympathies, a mother who
honestly adores nor big, . square

.loolv or act like his sister. - !
i Her gray hair is pulled cureless

j Lou and his mother are out in the
''country with their fishing rods and
l-lines at least two or three times
l each week. That's how they get
the eels. Thoy know, every good
fishing place in the . wholo New
York vicinity. .
Mother and son are as close ill
their baseball comradeship- as In'
their eel fishing. ,

"Ma" Gehrig watches 'Lou con

and often serve them to the whole
Yankee team. Below is a photo of

an thing else. "When-'he "didn't
have anyone else to play with him
I vus right out on tne vacant lot.
''''I never nllsuod a baseball game
tliat I could possibly' go.' to, and
always took Lou. When he wont to
Columbia 1 knew very: voii It
wasn't the book knowledge but the
athletics ho went in for. I didn't
try to keep him in college. I'd
rulsed him to be a bail jnayer, so
1 was glad when he went seriously
into profcssionul playing. And
when there isn't any more ' base
bail for him, there won't be any
more Lou Gehrig." . ,
Knows the Fine Points
' "Ma" Gehrig knowB every fine
point of baseball. She could step
out' on the field and do a gooiT Jou
of umpiring if she wanted to.
"1 enjoy - the good playing of
others just as much as 1 do Lou's,"
she said. -'"I'm just as excited when
the others hit homers as when he
does, if he were playing1 badly, 1
wouldn't -overlook It just because
he happened to be my son. Any
how, 1 know all the boys and I'm
watching the rost with almost as
much interest as Lou. I'm all for
the glory of the team."
Though at the present "Ma" Geh
rig has no competition, except
from baseball, for her son's affec
tion, she is resigned to the fact
that she probably will play second
tiudie some -day. -"Of
course he'll marry." she con
eluded. "Then his wife can fix his
eels and I'll take a vacation."
