case of Ernie Banks as a horribly gskinny cx mplc Banks is a little on the thin sidc ncizzlirrig in the vicinity of 175. He hasn't stature of a Ruth nor the muscles of Big Klu but last year using a light bat he knocked 44 basclalls out of sight to a new home run record for shortsoips.

An interesting question is this. Whose record did Ruth break when he hit thc magic 60"! The answer is his own. Another question might be what hitter has come the closest to duplicating Ruth's feat. The answer is a fellow named George Herman Ruth who not only holds down the rsrpird but also the run- nor-up spot with a cool 59. Actually Ruth hit the 59 homers in 1921 his second year in a Yankee uniform so that mark wasn't exactly an onslaught on the record which wasn't made until 0 years lata.r. in 1928 Ruth bit 54 and that was the liist time he ever got to over 60 in one season.

Mickey may or may not beat the Babe. We wouldn't know but we do know that being a few games ahead of Ruth's pace at this strr of the game doesn't mean much: in fact almost noth- lng. Better hitters than Mantle havc h't homer for linmcr with Ruth through most of the sea- son but when they coma down I to the last month of the season and have ti match Ruth's tre-
