Show 4 ' 7" THREE VIEWS OF BROWN'S STAR HITTER f 1 How tnany Mif loa,piio stars cou'.l you Identify out of tht bag-eball unl-i unl-i form ? In uniform, you recognise that familiar fa-miliar swing, no doubt. That can't be anybody but Knn.th Williams of the Ft. Louis Browns. You're- right. but who's tho chap In the. nitty fttreet lull, white collar and silk cravat cra-vat ! Who's the smart-looking idldler, standing at attention, in Uncle Sam's I khaki ? There you have throp different views of the new home-run hitter In the major league circuit this season Kenneth Roy Williams. Yes. Kenny was a member of 1 Cttcle Sam's fig:it!ng family. He , shouldered a musket, as you see. He i ! was just getting ready to sail across the Atlantic to spear a lot of the, enemy n his bayonet's point when I the armistice, was signed. Williams Is the biggest batting en- ' .(Ion ol tl.e fat. VTinM hnvo believed that anybody would be bold enough to challenge Babe Ruth's home run record? Who'd have believed be-lieved that anybody would establish three home-run records that the Baba never claimed? BAB1 6 FAME DIMM D Well, Williams has three such records rec-ords to his credit for the season, somewhat dimming the Bambino's fame as a swatter of circuit clouts. On April L'U Ken made three home runs against tfie White Sox. Starting July 2k he poled six homers on six successive days. On August 7 Ir i.ll two home runs in the sixth Inning against the Washington Wash-ington Senators. Thus, you will see. Babe Is not the only pebble on the home-run beach. Tho race between Williams and Ruth promises to be a close one, with the odds favoring the St. Louis representative, rep-resentative, as he lias a majority of his remaining games at home. Williams has made 25 homers on the domestic lot this season. |
