P e ) 0 were Peckinpaugh is having a tough time of it getting started with his blud- geon. He alone of the Griffs failed to profit by the soft Yankee flinging. Ruth’s triple in the sixth inning was his first extra base blow and his third hit of the season. It ap- peared to many that Johnson pur- posely grooved one in the eighth when the Babe made his initial cir- cuit clout. Two new Yanks made their major league debut—Pitcher Milton Gaston, a brother of Alec Gaston, former third string catcher of the Giants, picked up from the Paterson Silk Sox, and Catcher Martin Autry, from the Austin club of the Texas League. It is apparent that Huggins' hurl- ers are not yet in nine-inning form. It will be a different story with Pennock, Jones, Shawkey & Co. after warm weather oils up their soupers. The high winds played havoc with the fielders. It was responsible for several safeties, including both of Ruth’s wallops. Tt looked for a ti = if Rice might get under the blow by Ruth that paved way for the Yank first tally the ‘sixth. It was a towering fly that descended almost parallel to the fence in right center and after striking rolled far enough to net the Babe three bases. Johnson used a minimum of effort in whiffing his mound opponents with a mate on second in round Three pitched balls sufficed to dispose of Shawkey. Scptt is a sure catch of flies raised fieldward. He chased out into short center twice to corral lofts from the bats of Judge and Harris. Fiahers double in the fourti¥was a vicious clout that struck the right- field fence on the fly.

SCOTT, NOTED COACH, . DIES FROM CANCER CLEVELAND, Obio, April 21.—Xen C. Soott, forty-two, prominent foot ball coach ‘and sports writer, died at his home here early today after six- teen months’ illness. Death was caused by cancer. . Scott was an authority on harness- horse racing and base ball. He had been secretary of the Turf Writers Association since its formation. During his fourteen years' conching at Western Reserve, Case, Penn State, University of Alabama and the Naval | Reserve cloven of Cleveland his teams rolled_up_a total of 2,333 points against 845 points by their opponents. They won 100, lost 26 and tied 8 games. His_Western Reserve teams won the Ohio Conference championship twice and Case once. Alabama Uni- versity rose from a practice-game position to one of the country's best after he took charge of it in 1919. That year his eleven won its only southern intercollegiate champion- pionship. It was on this eleven that he dis- covered Joe and Luke Sewell and Riggs Stephenson and' recommended them to the Cleveland base ball club He also discovered Pitcher Jim Joe Edwards. In 1922 he furnished the season’s upset when his Alabama eleven de- feated University of Pennsylvania. It was the only southern team to in- vade the north and return undefeated that year. In two of the four sea- sons he coached Alabama. that eleven led the major teams in the south in scoring. In 1910 it piled up 377 points and two years later 300. In four years it soored 1,199, Naval Reserve's defeat of Univer- sity of Pittsburgh in 1918 was Pitt’s first in five years. Scott resigned from Alabama in November, 1922, be- cause of the illness which caused his death. At the time of his rosignation he was considering offers from sev- eral northern and California colleges. This shows Clarence H.

Other Reversals Also Shown. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, April 21—The first series in the major leagues this scason offers a splendid subject for contrast with the first series of 1923, and there may be an object lesson in it. Perhaps things are beginning to shape up carly for some surprises: Take the Yanks and the Red Sox, for instance. In the first series between them in 1923, New York won four games. This year the Vanks won one and lost two. They almost lost three straight. Their net loss on the basis of last season is five games. That kind of a total makes championships in a tight fight. ; Then there is the Washington and Athletics meetings Athletics won three and lost one. This year they won two The fourth game wasn't played. If the Nationals can win it when it § played, they may be regarded as better than last vear. If they cannor win it, the Athletics may be regarded as fully as good as they were 1923 right now. ’ the and lost one. — Clevelund and Detroit brok n 1923 at their first meeting, ar the Detroit team led posiponed game in_the off 1 FRANCE MUST RELY Rl ON VETERAN STARS |75 775 5, Bt o [ the ‘Ggwressor.
