...record. Eclipsed by his colorful, temperamental teammate Babe Ruth, plodding Lou Gehrig felt that his drawing power was his dependability rather than his brilliance. When, at spring training camp this year, the Iron Horse suddenly realized that he was getting rusty, panic overtook him. He brooded, became tense at bat. Sportswriters, viewing his feeble performance, wrote his batting obituary-for all the world to read - before the season started...

Behind the bat the Indians have no worries when Captain Joe Urban is operating, but capable reserve backstops are scarce in Hanover...
