MIKE FINJT SUPERSTITIOUS TO BUZZ ill Sweep of Regatta Events to L Be Object This Year." Football Interest Kept Up Almost All Year Round. RACES TO BE JULY 21-22 WINGED M 'AFTER " MEN 4 - 6 S SIR Winner of Senior Four Expected to Koiv Against San Diego at Astoria in August. The Portland Rowing club, which has failed to accomplish much at annual regattas of the North Pacific association of amateur oarsmen since before the war, hopes to register a comeback at the annual regatta this year, which will be held here July 21 and 22. For the first time in years tne rowing club has started with- a real objective . in view. That is to try to score a clean sweep at the cham pionship meeting of the crack row ing crews from all over the Pacific northwest. This would be quite a feat, yet the Portland Rowing clulr aspires to achieve It. ' Vancouver Showing Poor. Last year at the regatta in Van couver, B. C, the Portland club won only one event on the programme, the junior singles. Lewis Mills was the one championship winning oars man. In 1920 the local club won the junior singles and the senior fours. Portland will have an exception ally strong entry in every event on the programme this year. July 21 will be junior day and July 42 senior day. t The two-flay programme' and the Portland entry in each follows: Junior Pay. Junior singles William Grftgory. Junior doubles Joe York and A. Schuff. Junior four crew to be picked from following oarsmen A. Ditzum, Frank Lindstrom, Bob Haymaker, A. Illngham and Martin. Senior Day. Senior singles Lewis Mills. Senior doubles Jack McDonald and F. R. Newell. Senior 140-pound crew, yet to be B6 lected. Senior four E. A. Stevens, stroke; Sandy Briggs, No. 3; Ted Holmes, No. 2, and Tony Brand enthaler, bow. The regatta will be held over a mile and a half straightaway course In the Willamette river directly in front of the clubhouse at the foot of Harney avenue, which is just south of the Sellwood ferry. The Portland Rowing club held cham pionship regattas on this same course in 1911 and 1914. There has not been a championship meeting here since 1914. There does not appear to be a weak spot on the Portland club team this year. The senior crew is the strongest combination the club has turned out in years. E. A. Stevens, stroke, is an ex-Cornell crew man; Sandy Briggs rowed on the University of Washington var sity crew in 1918, while Tony Brandenthaler, pulling bow oar, was stroke for the 1920 championship varsity crew of the University of Washington. Ted Holmes, the fourth member of the crew, is a product of the Portland Rowing club. Cup Goes to Winner. A cup, which goes to the winner of the senior four event, has been won tV-ice by the Victoria Rowing club. A third victory means per manent possession . of the cup, eo there will be some hard pulling to keep the British Columbia crew from taking it back north with them. It is the present plan to race the winner of the senior four event in the Pacific northwest regatta against the San Diego Rowing club, champion of California, at Astoria In August. A big regatta is elated for the salmon city next month, and It was thought that there would be little trouble completing arrange ments for such an event. MERCHANT 15 GRADUATED GREAT ALL-ROUND ATHLETE OUT OP V. OP C. Real Star Work Seen In Broad Jump, Hammer Throw, Sprint ing and Weight Throwing. BERKELEY, Cal., July 8. Jack Merchant, one of the greatest all round athletes ever registered at the University of California here, graduated this spring and will not return to college in the fall. Observers have declared, that Merchant Is the last of the great western college hammer throwers. In recent years the hammer throw has been barred by the Pacific coast "conference, so Merchant has been able to display his prowess in the throw only in dual meets or eastern contests. Merchant came to California in 1917 and from the staTt devoted his spare hours to working on the track and field under direction of Walter Christie, the veteran blue and gold coach. In several events, the broad jump, hammer throw, sprints, shot, javelin and discus, Merchant became a real star. His best form was displayed In the spring of 19-2-0 when he was jumping close to 24 feet and lifting the hammer out around 165 feet. In the summer of 1920 Merchant went to the Olympic games, but his many activities had slowed him down bit and he did not show at his best form. He rested a year, nursed several injuries and came back to the campus this season. After making many points in coast meets for California . this spring Merchant went east with his team and finished his career In a blaze of glory by ending up highest point winner at the two great na tional college meets, one held at Harvard and the other at Chicago. Speaker's Reserves Look Good. While the Cleveland Indians are having tough sledding, fans note with interest that several young sters farmed out last spring are going good. Pitcher Wayne Middle ton, whom Cleveland farmed out to the Coffeyv'lle team of the Western association, has won seven of the eight games he has pitched. Pitcher Harwood also has pitched well for the same team, but has . beep un lucky. Outfielders McN'ulty ' and Jeanes are hitting well for Coffey ville. ' Shortstop Sorrels, farmed out to Decatur, has been fielding bril liantly and hitting well. All of which gives J)e Cleveland boys hope ' for the future. jT PEN SNAPSHOTS OF THE SLANDERS PLAN GAMES TWO FOOTBALL TEAMS FROM MAINLAND EXPECTED. Some Lively Contests Counted Likely This Fall Afater Close of Gridiron Season. HONOLULU, July 2. Two football teams of Intercollegiate caliber and one Dreo school eleven will visit the Hawaiian islands at the end of the grid season next fall, if plans made in the islands do not go awry. The University of Hawaii is al ready making ready for a visit dur ing the Christmas holidays by some mainland college team, and St Mary's has already completed nego tiations for an excursion, to. the is lands to play the town team of Honolulu and otheT football associ ation elevens. St. Louis college, a parochial school in Honolulu, is planning on a visit by some strong high school team, preferably Berkeley high. The games will -be distributed over a period of a month. The college teams will meet the service as well as civilian champs. The quality of football talent to be Imported into the Islands this year comes as a result of team rivalry that threatened to ' disrupt the Hawaiian football league last sum mer and made the visit of tho Unl- verslty of Oregon team the cause of a near-Insurrection of many of the players. The all-navy team, composed of sailors from the Pearl Harbor naval base, has swept all opposition! be fore It. " The Oregon team had been booked to play the University of Hawaii, and the Island champions again. Members of the "home guard" in Honolulu agitated against al lowing the navy to play Oregon, claiming that the honor should go to some island team rather than to one of the non-residents, such as they claimed the navy team to be. Navy, however, played the Ore gon team and lost, but the football association in Honolulu wag irre vocably split. Now one faction, headed by tho University of Hawaii, which arranged the Oregon. Junket, is looking about for a suitable op ponent from the mainland, while the other has arranged for the St, Mary's visit .- - - CAST-OFF HURLER HITS PACE Dutch Reuthei Comes Back Again for Remarkable Record. This might, be the subject for a novel based on the remarkable work of Dutch Ruether with the Dodgers this season. Mention that he won 11 out of 13 starts in a recent stretfh will give some inkling as to the class of ball this much cast-off hurler has been hurling. This same Dutch was saido be about done when. the Reds swapped him for Rube Marquard in the win ter of 1920, after Rube had pulled a boner by peddling some world series tickets in a Cleveland hotel lobby.

He broke into baseball with Port land in 1911, while with St. Igna tius college, but was put on trie sus pended list and got his first real tryout when the Pirates acquired him in 1'913 and farmed him to Los Angeles. He wound up that season with Sacramento and then played with Salt Lake, Vancouver, Portland and Spokane before the Cubs tried him out in 1917 at the suggestion of Umpire Bill Flnneran, who saw him work in the Northwestern circuit. The Cubs released him to the Reds that same year. In the Reds' pennant. year he won 19 and lost six games. Pat Moran used Ruether to open nearly every series around the circuit that year and Ruether set a remarkable rec ord for copping the openers. Disappearance of frhite Trout Proves Mystery. Siamese TTrtna and Two-Headed Vlmh Sometimes Taken. w HAT happens to albino trout? Do they develop pigment to tint them as other fish of their spe cies are colored, or are they so conspicuous among others of their kind as to be quickly attacked and eaten by their cannibal brothers and sisters? . These are auestions wnich Pearl Lynes, superintendent of the Tum alo hatchery, hopes to answer some day. At present he can't In each strain of trout handled at the hatch ery there are in every trough of eggs some which hatch albino min nows, entirely white with the ex ception of the eyes, which are pink. They are apparently as strong and vigorous as ordinary trout, and are planted in lakes and streams with the others. But no such colorless fish are ever caught by anglers, Lynes says. By segregating the albinos and watching their development over a period of years instead of planting them, he hopes to find an answer to the puzzle. This is not the only freak In fish life which comes to Lynes' atten tion, however.' There are "Siam ese" twins, two-headed fish and one-eyed trout. These usually die arter an existence spanning but a few days, says Lynes, but one two headed steelhead lived for three months. In seining at Elk lake to take the spawn from adult trout, oddities are frequently found, such for in stance as the fish with a fin joined direct to his body and without a true tail. Rainbow eggs are now hatched at the plant on Tumalo creek, and more will be brought in shortly. Three hundred and forty thousand will be hatched at Odell lake and turned back at once to save trans portation. Jockey Worth Weight In Gold. A record price for the services of a jockey in this country was said to have been paid when J. S. Cosden, well known turfman, paid $25,000 to James Arthur for the contract on Chick Lang. Lang, who was devel- opea unaer Arthur s training, has ridden 180 winners In less than two years. He is a native of Hamilton, Ontario. PLAYS CAMAS AT CAMAS - Cr HAttt) PUNCHE PinSBUjGJHR FIRE SERIES WITH GIANTS BRINGS . MANY INNtJENDOS. Cse of Balls of Varying Liveliness Charged Against Players in National League. ' -3 Hugh Fullerton, a good sporting authority, says that tho recent series between the New York Giants and Pittsburg Pirates brought out some ugly hints and Innuendoes. The half- veiled charge that some teams are using different kinds of balls, throw ing in the kind desired at the right opportunities, is not conceivably true. But the charges have been made, and Barney Dreyfuss has been credited with making Insinuations of the same character. The charges and suspicions aroused by the first game of the Pirate Giant series are too serious to be overlooked... The one thing that or ganized baseball must do is to pro tect its reputation against any such Charges, if there is even t!he slight est foundation for charges that the balls have been or are being man ipulated', or If there Is any basis for the Insinuation that different balls are on the field during play, someone should be driven out of the game quickly. Tlje repeated denials of the maki ers that the ball is livelier than the old ball) have failed entirely to convince players that it is true. The big majority are confident that whether the makers know it or not, the ball is much faster. They are not particularly Interested in the cause of this speed, but they are interested in the ball itself. It is extremely dangerous if two balls of different liveliness are used in a game, especially If one team is aware of the fact and the other is not. Whether this claim of using lively balls comes as an alibi or not the aotions of the Pittsburg players on the field during the first game on the Polo grounds were sufficient to provoke questions. They acted as if they were disgusted and trying to "show up" conditions. No one appeared to care what (happened. and the manner of pitching after the first rounds was m, itself a show-up of the team. It might be wen -tor the officials to call some of the Pirates before theim and in quire the causa of their queer ac tions. Measurements Made of Homer. No one has ever taken the trouble to make a reliable measurement of a ball hit out of the park. There have been alleged measurements and guesses as to how far a ball traveled or would have traveled had It not been stopped, but all the stuff about how far a ball was hit Is the bunk. Ruth hit a ball into the right field bleachers at the Polo grounds in New York that was 460 feet from the plate when it hit the seats. Ruth's homers are generally high in the air affairs, far enough to loft over a 340-foot fence. Scorers in St Louis recall a game when Jacobson hit 'one cn a line that was at least 60 feet in the air and still srolner I when it left the park. No one looked for the ball or even measured the distance they figured It might have ; traveled. TODAY FOR LEADERSHIP OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY LEAGUE. f Ail i LEONARD AND TENDLER BOUT GIVEN INDICATIONS OF DRAW Chances for Knockout in 12 Rounds Battlers Are Clever BY ROBERT EDGREN. LEW TENDLER, who is matched to box Benny Leonard for the lightweight f championship, at Jersey City, July 27, will have just half a chance to get the title. There being no decisions in Jersey bouts he can win only by knocking Leon ard out. After all the talk and challenging, the evasion and side stepping and haggling of the last two years, this should have been a decision bout. Where men are at all evenly matched and both are clever boxers the chance of a knockout in a 12 round bout are slight. A knockout is more likely in this bout, however, than in many others, because Leonard never makes a run away fight, and if Tendler's attack weakens Leonard will press him hard and try to finish him. With Leonard standing up to Tendler's attack there always will be a chance that Tendler may slip through Benny's guard a punch like the one that knocked out Bobby Barrett for half an hour. . . What are Leonard's chances? Leonard hasn't shown any sign yet of slipping back in fighting form Whenever he trains for a light weight championship bout he gets down fine on weight and looks as hard as when he won the title. He has all his speed and courage, and i9 always trying to win as quickly as possible. When Leonard is hurt he fights faster and hits harder. His fights with Willie Ritchie and Mitchell are examples of Benny's fighting style. The first time he fought Ritchie, in San Francisco, he was nearly knocked out in the sec ond round and was pressed hard in the third, but he came back fight ing toe to toe In the fourth and drove Ritchie back on his heels with hard punches. When he fought Ritchie in New Jersey he knew every move Ritchie might make, and slugged with Willie and ba-ttered him until he was helpless. In the Mitchell fight Benny was nearly knocked out but recovered immedi ately and knocked Mitchell out. Leonard is a fast boxer and a slugging fighter In one. In Kilbane he met a clever boxer with a world of speed and a good punch. He went arter Kilbane from the first step, dazzled Kilbane with shifty feinting and awift punches that went through Johnny's guard like hornets through a wide open barn door, out classed him in everything and quick ly and easily knocked him .out. That was years ago, but Leonard hasn't "gone back" since. He is never out of training, and he lives like a college athlete. Ben has brains. At 26 he's much better than at 20. i . ' Tendler, also a Hebrew, is much like Leonard. He knows that the championship would mean a fortune to him, and for two or three years he has concentrated everything on winning it, sticking to training and the simple life. Tendler is less Btocky than Leonard and an inch taller. Benny Is 5 feet 5 inches and Tendler 8 feet 6 inches. He. has lighter legs than Leonard. His shoulders are wide and his reach is long. His face is long and narrow, and his nose prominent His Jaw is square. His age is 24. In boxing, Tendler is entirely dif ferent. Ha follows the "southpaw style, once made popular by Knock out Brown of New "York, boxing with right foot forward and right hand extended. He uses the left hand with much of Brown's effect iveness, besides . having something of an educated right. Tendler has an advantage in his boxing position because he has plenty of practice in fighting men who stick out their left hand and left foot, while the others have little experience against southpaws. He has fought 'nearly everyone but . Leonard among- the lightweights Leonard hasn't had any other starboard battery rivals. Tendler was a Philadelphia news boy, and had his first ring experi ence when he stepped in as- a volun- 1 w Williams, pitchevf Biep-1, outfielders third base) Perklna, catcher, ud Billy Regarded as Slight Because Both and Wary in Ring. 1 teer for a preliminary fight at the age- of 15. He made good from the first bout. He was naturally cun ning and crafty. He didn't win many fights with knockouts for a long time, but was always fighting fast in the last ten seconds and no body stopped him. As he met better men he improved and still held the lead. He stayed In Philadelphia, where he was unbeatable in the six round bouts. Once in a while Tendler surprised his followers by knocking out some good man. He stopped George Chaney in a round and half, a dozen others of like class In from three to six. He is cautious more than aggressive, but he has a quality of determination that shows up when he is dazed or hurt. Like Leonard, he ( Is dangerous all the time, but where Leonard is always out to win at the first chance Tendler ia too cautious to try to hurry matters. When he slips over a K. O. punch it is after long and cautious wait ing and calculation of risks and chances. In the recent Barrett fight Tendler knew he was against the most dangerous puncher among the championship hunters. He never let Barrett find an opening for 'his deadly right hand punch.-' At the same time he punched Barrett steadily until at last he found his opening and drove a crashing left into uarrett 9 solar plexus for a clean one-punch knockout. - . Thats the punch Leonard will have to watch. It's the punch Leon ard hasn't been accustomed to In other fights. For several months part of Leonard s training bus been against clever boxers who have been coached to oppose him in Tendler's characteristic position. But the Imitation never has the genius of the original. That goes ,in fighting as in drawing, painting, writing or anything else. .Blocking the coached sparring partner's imitation of Tendler's best punches Isn't like blocking the real article when it comes winging. Tendler undoubtedly is going to keep Benny busy watching. But Tendler will not have any restful time himself. It is said Tendler has most trouble with a free right hand puncher. Willie Jackson once turned him a half somersault and nearly slapped him for a ten-count with a half hooked right on. the chin Rocky Kansas, with his disregard for hard punches and his busy right hand, won a New York decision over Tendler. And of all the right hand hitters in the lightweight ranks, Leonard is fastest and surest. Benny usually starts them with his left, but he's an artist at finishing the joo witn a couple of right hand socks Dempsey wouldn't need be ashamed of: This leaves the Leonard-Tendler fight where it ought to be no cinch for either man. A comparison of performances gives the champion a little the better of it so far as ring dope goes. (Copyright. 1922. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Safe or Out? BT CHARLES D. WHITfc. Q. May amateurs coach the same ai professional? A. Yea. Perhaps It would bs Jufit as well if they did not always try to coach as some professionals do. Q. What does AM stand for in base ball; also "H?" A. The letters "Aft" stand for times at bat. It is the number of times in each same that the batter tries to ad vance the runner or get on base. "H" means basehit. "EH" also means the same thing, and so does "IB." Q. The batter hits the ball out of the lot and while he was running- between third and home a player of his own side took: a bat and held It over the base line and the batter jumped ever It. Did that put him out? A. No. However, it 1 Just as well to omit jinks ot that kind. Q. Suppose a catcher Intentionally drops a foul tip to prevent a runner from stealing a base. Does the runner set the base anyhow? a. r.o. it is not possioie Tor tne umpire to tell whether the ball is dropped Intentionally or not. It would be going too tar to give him that au thority. Q. Playing .under an agreement; third strike to be caught or not, out; abases are filled and catcher drops third strike. Then he touches home plate for a force out. A triple play was made, home to third, third to second. Was it legal? A. If the rules had been changed for the purpose of making freak put outs it was certainly a legal play betause the batter had his three strikes. CHICAGO LINKS CONGESTED Some Golfers Sleep TTpon Green in Order to Play Next t)ay. Congestion of public golf links in Chicago has become eo great that golfers In Jackson park now are providing themselves with pocket searchlights in order to find their balls when delays force them to finish in the gloaming, it was brought out in the complaint of a woman, who charged that she and her children were unable to cross the links, even after dark, because of flying balls.- On Saturday nights many of the tOO devotees who use the course dally go directly to the links after theater, then snooze on the grass until the first faint peep of the sun out of Lalce Michigan arouses them to drive off. The stream of fore somea Is unremitting from that time until dusk. It apparently has not occurred to any of them that they might quit before the round was over. Rather, they have provided themselves with flashlights, and the course resembles a firefly-beset swamp at twilight, Club Expected to Have Another - Championship - Aggregation if Plana, Turn Out.: Although the pigskin reclines in the well-known mothballs, far re moved from the thoughts of the sport followers Just now, the foot hall hpA Is Alranrlv V.fkirinmfncr rings along the Paoifio coast. 1 With practically all the colleges Indulging in spring practice, and some even in summer practice, coaching schools, etc., football in terest is kept up almost all the year around these days. As Multnomah amateur athletic club football is closest to home, it is only natural that there should be interest in what material the Winged M institution will have this year. With announcement recently that Ted Faulk had been engaged to coach the squad, prospects began to perk up and a still hunt is on already for 1922 gridiron material. Real Team Expected. To say that the club will have a real team this season, on paper at least, is putting it mildly. It should be another Pacific coast champion ship organization if the players al ready considered tentatively mate rialize at practice time. Here are a few names of pros pective Winged M players: Bill Steers, Billy Rinehart ex-Oregon half and quarterback; Brandy Bran denburg, ex-Oregon halfback and captain; Bob Stewart," ex-Aggie cen ter; Brick Leslie, ex-Oregon center; Martin Howard, ex-Oregon all-star end and captain; Clipper Smith, ex Notre Dame star; Bill Holden, ex Oregon tackle; Francis and Vincent Jacobberger, both ex-Oregon varsity players; Bob Pelouze, ex-Stanford end; not to mention such standbys as Moose Johnson, Scotty Dutton, Butler Workman, Cook, Alex Don aldson, Carl Mautz, Hale Copeland, Blackwell and others. Array Is Formidable. ' This Is as formidable an array of talent as any coach could ask. Of course all thase sterling warriors may not turn out when September comes, but most of them are tabbed as certainties. The 1922 Multnomah club football schedule as arranged to date by Chairman Harry Fischer follows October 14 Multnomah vs. Oregon at Eugene. October 21 Multnomah vs. Gonzaga at Portland. November 4 Multnomah vs. Oregon Ajreiea a.t Portland. November 11 Multnomah vs. Olympic cluli at Portland. November 18 Multnomah vs. Ninth Army corps at Portland. Several out-of-town games prob ably will be added to routld out the schedule, as only one trip is ar ranged at present, and that only to Eugene. It is well known in club football circles that a long trip or two on the schedule helps bring out the men. There is possibility of a game with the Pacifio fleet, if the fleet has another first-class eleven, it Los Angeles. FOOTBALL COACHES OPTIMIS TIC FOR 1922 SEASON. More Than 100 Grldders Report to Pop Warner for Spring Practice Work. LOS ANGELES, July 8. What are the football prospects at Stanford for ne-xt fall? "Pretty good," says "Tiny" Thornhill. Now, "pretty good" from some fel lows doesn't mean so much, but when "Tiny" Thornhill makes that kind of a speech you may rest as sured that "Pop" Warners ame lieutenants, 'Andy Kerr and 'lnorn htll. will trot out a respectable foot ball team in September. Claude Earl Thornhill, 28 years old and weighing 214 pounds, re turned to Los Angeles after spend ing six weeks with Glenn S. Warner at Palo Alto. Strategist Warner re turned to his Springville. N. T, home not to return to this state un til after he finishes his Pittsburg contract In 1923. Andrew Kerr leaves Wilkinsburg. Pa., for Palo Alto September 1. He will serve as head coach at Stan ford until Warner personally picks up the reins. The Oregon Aggies, southern Cal ifornia and California, the Cardi nals' three 1922 Pacific coast con ference opponents, are assured of healthy workouts. No less than 115 aspiring foot ballers reported to Warner and Thornhill for the first day of spring toll. There are more pigskin chasers than that scattered over Stanford's 800ft acres, but spring sports and studies prohibited all from grasping the opportunity of absorbing a bit of the Warner sys tem. Within a few days the squad was cut to eight complete teams. Six of these teams participated in a practice game In the stadium last Saturday. Coach NWarner ordered 60 husky warriors to answer "here" when Andy Kerr fells the roll September IS. This does not mean that the balance have been erased from the gridiron ledger, for each man who turns out will be given individual attention. Art Wilcox, 1920 captain; Bud Woodward, the former Los Angeles high school star; Murray, with the scrubs last season; Tull and Murray Cuddleback from the frosh; Wright, Craft, Cleveland and Campbell, on the varsity in 1921, and Jim Law son of Long Beach are backs who impressed Coach Thornhill. Tiny is very enthusiastic about Campbell, who played guard for Gene Van Ghent. Warner worked this 194-pounder at quarterback, where he is likely to start next sea Son. - Campbell's size fits in well with . Warner's general scheme of things two heavy and two light backs. Kenneth Sproul, Middleton, Jen sen and Dick Lawson are leading candidates tor ends. Sproul is a veteran, Middleton and Jensen graduating from the fresh me. Favllle didn't finish with the var sity at tackle last year, .but scored a big hit with Warner and Thorn hill. - Shipke and Cluck Johnson, from Manager Fines Pitcher for Walk ing Under Ladder. Mike Finn was very superstitious. One day when he was managing a team down east and holding regular post-mortem sessions on the game of the day before, he called down a pitcher for pitching bad ball. "I knew I'd lose that game yester day," said the pitcher, seeking an alibi, "for on my way to the ball park I walked under a ladder." '. He thought this would appeal to Finn's superstition and get him by, but Finn bellowed back: "Walked under a ladder, did ye? wen, that will coBt ye $25 and may- De twill teach ye to watch where ye walk from this time on. By t'under, I'll have ye all to know nothing like that can be done on my ball club." PERFECT PLAYER SOUGHT EVERETT SCOTT NOMINATED ' FOR HALL OF FAME. Shortstop Declared to Have Taken Part in 900 Games Without Serious Blunder. Everett Scott perfect ballplayer. Why not? " Much has been written about the "superplayers" of the great na tional game. Batting and fielding records, hurling statistics, home run clouting figures and what not have been produced from time to time to boost the nomination of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Christy Mathew son and other heroes for the hall of fame. And these men deserve the glory accorded them. They nave been super-playera all, In their own lines. There are, though, some players who while running through their span in the big shows never soar to the dizzy heights in any one de partment of the game. They de serve some distinction. Their value ha lain, not so much in their super playing as in their consistent con scientious work under any and all conditiona One or two of these jewels are to be found on any bail club. They play a big part in weld ing any baseball machine into a winning aggregation by their steady, heady, co-operative ways. Why not give these men the glory that is theirs? Why not call them "perfect players"? Everett Scott is hereby nominated for that class. " Consider his case. On June 20, 1916, Scott trotted modestly out to short field with the Red Sox team after a brief absence. And from that date to this he has not missed a single game his team has played. He is now with the Yankees. Iuring the first five and a half years of his wonderful record.-, he played under the Red Sox ban-ntr and under four managers Carrigan, Barry, Barrow and Duffy. Then he joined the New .York Yankees with a new club and under a new man-' ager, stepped right into the first game and continued- his work with out interruption. During the six years that he'Jias played baseball day in and day out he has delivered the goods to sat isfy fans ot two towns, five man agers, half a dozen magnates '.own ers and part owners of the two teams) and the sport writers fol lowing his teams. This in the face of real opposition from stars who were sitting on the bench waitins to take his place at the slightest slip. Think of It! Nine hundred games at the pace the public and- everyone else demands of a big league player. Nine hundred games without a day off for Illness or other reasons. Ninehundred games without a day off through an Ul-tlmed run-in with an umpire. Nine hundred games without-, a severe batting slump or fielding slump that would force any fair minded manager to bench him tem porarily to give him a rest. Nine hundred games uninter rupted by a jump from a mediocre club to a championship outfit an all-star aggregation where even star players warm the bench. There ought to be some recogni tion for such work. He has demanded a place among the leaders in fielding quite often. He is known as" a brilliant short stop. But alongside the men who have led, their league in batting, in home-run hitting or in hanging up hurling victories, he has gone al most unnoticed. And yet he has shown himself to be one of the most valuable men If not the most prized man in base ball. He Is in a class by himself. " If he isn't "the perfect player," name one, COBB IS GREAT KIDDEK It Took Albert Youngblood to Get Player's Goat. v ' DETROIT, July 8. yThe veteran Cobb has always handed out quite a line of kidding during a game.
