for the Detroit
Tigers who has

makes even the
mighty Babe

There has been so much fan-talk
about the game'a newest sensation
that It la only fitting that a wee bit
of hla past record be set down for
local John Q. Addict's to peruae at
their leisure or otherwise.
York came up to the Detroit Tigers
aa a first baseman by way of Mil
waukee In the American Association
from Beaumont In the Texaa league.
He already had quite a reputation as
a slugger, his powerful stick work
winning htm the moat valuable play
er award In the A. A. In 1936 and
ditto In the Texaa circuit In 1936.
He waa recalled by the Tigers this
spring mainly to fill In for Hank
Green berg, who had broken his left
wrist two years ago In the world
series. But, Greenberg's wrist had
completely healed, he waa back In
his old-time form, and It became
quickly apparent that there wouldn't
be a guy named York playing first
base for Detroit while a fellow named
Oreenberg was still around.

Manager Mickey Cochrane waa faced
with a tough problem. It waa hard to
keep York, who had hit .334 with
Milwaukee and driven in 149 runs,
on the bench. The only spot where
the Tlgera could use the Indian was
at third base, and after a short trial
at the hot comer, Cochrane realized
that York waa no third baseman.
Ground balls handcuffed him, al
though he did have a rifle arm.
Then came York'a break, although It
was almost disastrous to hla manager,
Cochrane waa beaned, went to the
hospital and George Tebbeta, a young
ster, started wearing the mask and
protector for the Tigers.
It was not long, however, until
Trbbrts faded from regular duty.
Recalling that York had started
out as catcher. Cochrane, who
wait mw recovered from the bean
ball Injury, decided to try the
husky fellow back of the plate.
The result Is well-known to alt
baseball lovers. York, playing reg
ularly every day, started blasting
American league pitchers and
fen res. and to date, has shown
no nl ens of a letup.
According to expert reports from
the east, York haa a smooth, powerful
awing that seems rather effortless In
comparison to Greenberg and othor
big league sluggers. However, he gets
aa much distance as any player In
the game, and considerably more
than most of them. And, what makes
him extremely valuable la the fact
that toe haa shown no preference for
pitchers, hitting equally as well
against southpaws as righthanders.
He la 54 years old and clouts from
the right side of the plate.
