CURB EFFICIENCY
AS HOMER ITER
King of Swat Facing De
throning by Jimmie Foxx
' Latest Injury Expected
. to Leave Ruth Far Behind
By GAYI.B TAI.BOT.
' (Associated Pre., Sports Writer)
The stanchions that carried him
to baaeball'a heights finally given
way undsr the strain, Babe Ruth
today laced the proapect of relin
quishing bla home run title to
Jimmie Fbxx without a itruggle.
Even before hla right leg col
lapsed while going after a fly ball
yesterday, It waa extremely doubt
ful the old war horse could catch
hla youthful adversary. Be waa 12
Homers behind the Athletlo atar,
but atlU waa hoping he would get
'right" and put on a spurt.
No Chance Now.
' There's scarcely ft chance now.
The Bambino will be on the bench
probably three weeks, physicians say.
Foxx Is a full month ahead of
Ruth's 1927 record now and has
every chance of eclipsing the Babe'a
mark of 60 homers. He had 98 to
day. ' The Babe's Injury, a torn ligament
above the knee, resulted when he
pulled up too short after missing
Selph's fly In the seventh inning
against the Chicago White Box. The
Yankees won., a to 4, thanks to
round trip wallops by Gehrig, Lazzorl
and Sewell,
Washington's winning streak of
lllne straight waa well broken by
the Detroit Tigers, who won both
ends of a doubleheader, B to 6 and
to I.
Browns lose Eighth.
The Bt. Louis Browns suffered
their eighth consecutive loss when
they were set down, 8 to 1, by Tony
Preltss, Athletlo recruit. It waa
Freltas' alxth victory In a row. Led
by Smead Jolley again, the Boston
Red Box trimmed Cleveland, 4 to
9. Jclley'a two doubles provided the
winning runs.
, The Pittsburg Pirates, whose ability
to win extra-lnnlng battlea fast was
becoming legend, finally came a
' cropper when they were nosed out
by the Phillies, 8 to 4, In 11 frames
, Chicago failed to take advantage
of the leaders' reverse, dropping a
38 to 3 decision to the Giants.
Timely hitting by Hack Wilson
and Glenn Wright gave Brooklyn
ft 7 to 4 win over the Cardinals.

he won the title last January.
Jadlck retained his title by a nar

rus of boos and a shower of cushions
greeted the decision. Canzonerl's

disconcerting abruptness. He had the
Brooklyn boy blinking from thst
stabbing left most of the time.
