But Player Declares He Wll NEW YORK, April 14.—There is a difference of opinion be- tween Manager Miller Huggins, who brought his Yankees home to- day, and Everett Scott, who sprained his ankle in a game at Spring- field, Mo., Thursday, as to the shortstopper playing in the opening contest of the American League season Wednesday. Scott, who has played in 986 consecutive American League , is anxious to keep his string unbroken. His ankle is not wollen and doesn’t give him much pain. An X-ray picture taken howed no broken bones, and the surgeons described it as an or- dmnrv limp. Scott won't be able to play for two or three weeks, even though it is nothing worse than a sprain,” said Huggins. But the Deacon thought otherwise. “Play in the opening game? You bet I will,” said Everett, and there you are. Take your choice. One thing is certain—Huggins won't jeopardize Scott’s chances just for the sake of keeping his consecutive-game record unbroken. If Scott isn't ready to play Wednesday, he won't play. Another sure thing is that Huggins will take immediate steps to get another experienced utiiity infielder. Such a trade is now brewing and may be consummated before next Wednesday. DOPING RACES IN MAJORS Cardinals Should Land in First Di- vision—Cubs and Braves Rated Weakest at the Start.
