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

who would sign up a portslder of

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

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

Circuit Clouts Give Rup-

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.
TOOTS ESTES TO
Toots Estes. popular ex-cbamp 01
the Hawaiian Islands, will definitely
be seen on next week's wrestling card
at the high school field. Promoter
Mack Ltllard said today. And, It
may be Fr&nkle Clemens, he of the
devastating Indian paralyser, who
will welcome the clean grappling
Toots back to Medford after a long
absence. 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. Defeated once by
the Jew. the Dragon has pleaded
with Llllard to give him anothR
crack at the physical culture expert,
and the promoter figures on doing
Just that.
