beat babe ruths home run record of sixty in a season the kids good hes probably the best two year old performer in big time history he slaps a baseball with authority american league pitching is of inferior variety avle he gets better day by day all on the credit side the other side of the ledger is heavily red inked with the names of wilsons Wil sons Geh rigs Horns bys and other broad backed lads whose august marks and ambitions were similar to joes september licked them ruth had seventeen home runs during that month of his eventful 1927 season he undoubtedly was in a hitting streak and he also was the babe a guy accustomed to performing magic yet there was more than a suspicion at the time that pitchers were helping him out a bit not deliberately tossing him home run ran balls you know but laying last fast ones down the middle instead of working the corners pitching to him in spots where during the early season when the pennant race amounted to some di maggio thing they w would 0 u I 1 d not have permitted his bis bat to come within a foot of a good ball that so dugout gossip ran was because he was a swell guy and was aiming at a record which would stand for all time and could only be made by him anyhow nothing you could put your finger on maybe and in fact nothing wrong with it even if you could establish any truth in the gossip but baseball authorities did do a bit of serious thinking and strong hinting to their aides at the time so but even though that 17 in september has stumped all the geli geh rigs Horns bys and wilsons since then theres no harm in trying joes a great kid hid as well as a great ballplayer along with ruth dutli and a few million other fans I 1 say more power to him NOT IN THE BOX SCORE THERE estates HERE is a map of the united states in
