Photo) Sport Graphs see Billy Hnlen Sayi: Gehrig Taux Pas Makes Him Chief of Left Handers Until last Friday evening, the New York Yankee's Mr. Lou Gehrig was regarded with pardonable sus picion by his many bretheren of that peculiar race of cltleens who go through life doing thing all backwards. Although physically a southpaw,' Mr. Oehrlg had previously conducted himself In a manner en tirely unbecoming a member of the strange clan. Noted throughout history for their queerness, thousands of lefthanders could not believe that the mighty Iron Man of baseball waa one oi them. He must be Just a right hander, they thought. Just an ordi nary, legitimate tlghthander. They couldn't be blamed, either, because about the only eccentricity displayed by Mr. Oehrlg until the said Fri day was the uncsnny ability of being able to belt homers Into the right field stands off right or left handed pitchers with equal facility, considered a praiseworthy trait. There Is no doubt now, how ever, In the hearts and minds of thousands of southpaws as to Mr. Gehrig's right to be called a true lefthander. Moreover, he will undoubtedly go down In the book as the greatest lefthander, mentally and physically, that ever lived. Tht legendary feats of Rube Waddell, southpaw pitcher when he wasnt a fire man, will seem mild In com parison. The antics of Babe Ruth when at the height of his glory as a playboy, free-wheeling ball player, will be viewed with a bored glance when lined up against Gehrig's faux pas. And Dltiy Dean, a mental southpaw, will appear as nothing more than a steady, hard-working hall player when compared to Mr. Oehrlg. Even Roy Hletelt, who ran the wrong way In a foot ball game, will be dwarfed by the mental blunder committed ' by the Iron Man. Oehrtg's failure to handle that easy chance may result In dire con sequences. When the fsmous Oehrlg booted one by telling his radio audi ence, while broadcasting on the Huskies progrsm, that he ste Whest lee for breakfast to make him an Iron man, the stage wss set for a unanimous curtailment by manu facturers of all southpaws, and v.' could blame them. After that iror In the clutch. It seems that anyone who would sign up a portslder of sny description for an air appear ance would be literally taking bank ruptcy or worse In hla own hands. For Instance, who could trust a sntlthpsw to describe the smal Ing comfort, the remarkable per formance, the tremendous power of, say, one of Walter P. Chrys ler's finest vehicles. Why, young Mr. Southpaw might get up there before the mike and tell ten million listeners to "Ask the man who owns one." or, stam mer something about, "Hody hy Fisher." In fait, anything could happen. That has been definitely proved by sir. Iami Oehrlg. It's really too bad. but It looks to ua like from now on, there win be no place in Industry, nor the radio, for the lefties. BanlRhed from all contact with the rlvillsed world via the microphone, lefthanders will be Phone 1300 for Towing or Wrecker Service Anywhere Anyttmt Lewis Super Service forced to devote all their time to playing first bsse, the outfield. pitching. They are no good any nlace else. Even st the dinner table they are nomersome when sitting next to you, their south elbow first scrap ing your ribs and then chucking you unaer your rignt ear, not to men' Hon practically putting a halt t any personal ambition you might be nursing toward hitting .850 In the unite and Fork league. However, whether Friday night's occurrence means the down fall of southpaws on the air or not, there will be no regret In the hearts of America's lefthanders. They, at last, know Lou Oehrlg, and they welcome him to their bosoms. King of the southpaws that's Iron Man Lou's monicker from now on. uur most humble apologies to win McLean, Ashland's fiery catch er. As he so aptly termed It, we must have had more than several unaer tne belt when lsst week's oouinern Oregon league batting aver ages were released, stating thst Mc Lean, Ashland, was batting .300 from 10 hits In 30 trips to the plate. Checking with seversl local stu dent In mathematics, who next fall will enter the second A, we dis cover that 10 basehlt divided by 30 times at the plate figures out n even .333. That answer seems irre vocable, no matter how you work the hard, long division problem. So correction is hereby msde. Mc Lesn, Ashland, was batting .333 until last Sundsy fracas. Alright, who's next?

Paul, who because of a sore arm. has hsd a futile part In Cardinal National league efforts this season, refused to talk beyond saying he didn't feel "very good, although the arm lately has been pretty fair." Branch Rickey, Cardinals' msn sger and vice-president who an nounced Paul's shift on option to the Texas league farm of the Red birds and then withdrew It when Paul balked, said he'd telk It over with the big six-footer. Brother Dizzy, meantime, favored his sore We and complained of a sore arm that made his pitching so Ineffective thst even he sdmttted It.

ORI.MSON Mp, Portland IN THE HEART YANKS ARE THERE E ING GLUT Circuit Clouts Give Rup- pert's Boys Both Ends of Double Bill With White Sox Gehrig Is Honored "By DREW MIDDLETO.V. (Associated Press Sports Writer) They're there In the clutch the Yankees. A series for the league lead, all-star game, or a world series gives many a team the blind staggers. But not Colonel Ruppert's boys In white. The Yanks Just swing tnelr bludgeons snd bring home tbe bacon. They reserve their most momentous feats for dsys when the competition Is tight and the stands are full. Employing their time-honored home run technique "hit 'em where they can't possibly be" the Yanks blew down the Chicago White Sox In both games of a doubleheader yester day. 7 to 3 and 8 to 3, and pushed their league lead to seven games. The season's largest week-day crowd. 06,767 fans, was on hand. Home runs, trade mark of the Yankees since 1931, won both games. Bill Dickey hit his 19th with three on In the eighth Inning of the sec ond game to climax a bombardment that had begun when Lou Oehrlg. starting hts 1900th consecutive game, had shot his No. 33 Into the stands with two mates aboard In the fifth Inning of the opener. In between these two wallops the Yanks bsttlng banditti, Joe DIMagglo and Tony Lazzerl, took care of the scoring. Joe hit No, 33 with two mate sboard in the seventh Inning of the first contest and Tony got one In each game. Ruffing Holds Sox. Red Ruffing muffled the Sox tn the opener for his 14th victory snd Vernon Oomez seemed hesded the same way In the second gsme when the south side's heroes ganged him for three runs In the seventh and eighth. But when the Yanks came up In the latter Inning, Rolfe singled, DIMagglo doubled, Oehrlg walked and Dickey lined one Into the stands. The Sox, who came to New York with gaudy dreams of a four-game sweep, are burdened with a two- game deficit and the series Is half over. For the moment their pennant ambitions are squelched. Oehrlg. as chipper aa a rookie In the field snd st bat, was presented watch between games for being the league's most valuable player In 1936.

Although nothing la deft nlte regarding the match, the im presario stated that he was thinking strongly of billing those two In the top main event. Another match tn the making, ac cording to Llllard. will see Sammy Kohen. the New York City Jew, face the Black Dragon.
