...sure of performing his homerun specialty only on great occasions. Such an occasion presented itself last week in Chicago where all-star teams representing the National and American Leagues played what was advertised as "The Game of the Century." Ruth came to bat in the third inning. Pitcher Hallahan of the St. Louis Cardinals, wild in the second inning when the American League scored its first run. had already given Detroit's Gehringer a base on balls.

In the dressing room Jimmy Dykes autographed 17 balls...
Third Game. It was a hot, sunny day. Manager Street knew that the bleachers in St. Louis would be patched with white shirts, making it hard for the Athletics to hit a sidearm pitcher. Doubtless he would have started Wild Bill Hallahan even if the weather had been different for when Hallahan is good, he is superb, now that catcher's signals simple enough for him to understand have been worked out. At first, in spite of the blind spots made by those white shirts, it did not look like Hallahan's day. Bishop led off with...
