Here is a mark that thousands of ball players have been swinging at ever since, but only three have seriously challenged. Hank the immy Foxx of the Athletics, with 58 each, and Haok Wilson of the Cubs with 56. What the three deo't knew is that they were halted by the jinx plastered en their robust frames by several milliea kids, te whom that number SIXTY has been a shining star in baseball's sky because the Babe pot it there. Just when it began to look as if both Greenberg and Foxx were certain to beat it, star dust, thrown mysteriously by all these kids, got in their batting eyes and they were!

But nqt Highland Park 60. Especially not 61. J McHenry This mysterious kinds jinx won't' begin to affect Jolting John until he passes the 50, or perhaps the 55 point. Then he will feel mysterious forces at vyork that will turn the baseball into the size of a golf ball. He will find star dust in his batting eye, just as Greenberg and Foxx did. Big John won't quite understand what has happened, but some ten million kids will. Untouchable Record Those 60 Babe Ruth home runs, delivered twenty years ago as part of a total cargo of 714--which is beyond anybody's reach unless they use rubber balls and move the fences in back of the infield--is now a classic number in American sport. It belongs to the greatest power hitter of all time, who was only halted by the 100 to 170 bases on balls handed him each year. The Babe picked eat his stance from Joe Jaeksen. This position Is known in golf as the closed stance which* in Babe's left-handed hatting pasture, meant that his right foot was well in advaaee ef his left. However, Babe's stance was not as proaeaaeed as Shoeless Joe's was, and his feet were planted closer together to-give his tremeadevs body a better ehanee te week with hb hands and arms. Added to his power was almost perfect coordination between mind and muscle, including amazing reflexes. If Ruth had started out as an outfielder in 1914 or 1915, where he was a winning .pitcher, his homerun mark today would have been around 1,000. Mize and the Modern Bait No one can question the fact that the baH Babe swung at was far livelier than the pellet Home Run Baker, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker and other hitters had to face before the first wgr. On the other hand, taking nothing from Johnny Mize, the 1947 National League ball looks to be the liveliest ammunition yet thrown at swinging bats. In certain places the fences have also been moved in to decrease the home-run range. Bat this Isa't Johnay Mlse's fault. •e is swiagiag at the hall that Is OJL'd by the National League. He has always been a great power Utter. The war came along Jast when Big John was at his prime, and after his injury last season, few thoagbt. be wopld ever be the same eld walloper. Lots of Power Hitters It isn't so much that Mize is now up in the home run 30s. It is more that so mahy others are close on his trail. As I recall the far off details. Home Run Baker, another stout swinger, led both leagues around 1911 with either 9 or 11 home runs. I can't recall a ball club that had such power hitters as Mise, Marshall, Cooper and Thomson at this stage «f the race--not even Rath. Gehrig and Mensel. The Giants are now after the old Yankee mark and are quite likely te break it- Today any power hitter who hasn't collected 20 home runs, in the National League especially, is en the puny side. Ted Williams. rated the hardest modern hitter, is close to the Giant trio. Ted has a good chance to lead the American League, but only an epidemic of home runs down the stretch can put him in front of Mize. Club owners have decided that the home run is* something the crowd wants, and apparently the 1947 attendance is backing up their judgment. Any number of teams will pass the million mark this season, including Pittsburgh, which has been just above the cellar line. The baseball fan is a rabid animal, and if he thought too many home runs were being hit, he would loae little time in staying away.
