the wife of baseball's irtlll mull.
Lou tiehrlg
Husky feeling was in the volee
of pretty blonde Klealior Gehrig
as she reviewed her husbund's
spectacular 1 l-ymir career in
baseball and Ills record of I'.lilu
consecutive games as first base-
man for ill'' Yankees
"1 knew when lie got ou the
train Monday night for Detroit
this thin was going to happen,"
she said, as she leaned ,1iack a
little wearily In a «oft green
lounge iu tjielr npiirtmclii Itero.
"We talked It out a week ago.
"Lo't has said for yiars that
when he felt lie wns.i't helping
the ball dull he'd 'break his
string ' Yesterday when in vol-
untarily benched himself he prov-

Does she think he'll get back

noon at one o'clock before lile

for his utiequulled record'.'
First, because nc comes of wood,
sturdy (iermun stock. Second,
because he's "blessed with almost
abnormal health,"
In the third place, she points
in his "good old-faxhiotied way
of living " He goes to bed lie-
fore twelve, doesn't drink -ex-
cept for one or iwo beers, at the
mom, a week. And his appetite
Is "tremendous "

Is she worried about the fu-
