Gehrig Returns to Yankees in Time to Resume Streak

Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig managed to return to his team in time to start yesterday's game and keep alive his streak of consecutive games started. Gehrig was expected to miss at least a few games after being hit in the head by a pitch in an exhibition game two days ago. Gehrig, however, checked himself out of the Norfolk hospital where he had been admitted and managed to catch a steamboat to Washington, DC to rejoin his teammates.
