A year ago both teams were a bit keyed up and it took some time for the tension to lessen This year both have gone through another pennant winning campaign and this, added to the experience they got in the series of 1921 should result in an absence of ‘nerves’ Both shouid play at their best.” Huggins More Optimistic, Huggins was perhaps a little 'mrv outspoken. “We have a great lot of pitcher he said. “We have a terrific hitter in Ruth—a game, hard hitting, fight- ing ball club—a far better team than the one the Giants heat last year.

SCOTT ENTERS SERIES WITH GREAT RECORD Yankee Shortstop Has Played in 980 Consecutive Games Started Run June 20, 1916, New Yeork, Oct. 3.—Tverett Scott, brilliant Shortstop who will take the field with the Yanks tomorrow in the first game of the world series, fin- ished the 1922 American league sea- son within 14 games of his goal— playing in 1,000 consecutive major league contests. Hfs streak of 986 straight games, far beyond all previous records, was started June 20, 1916, with Boston. He was with the Red Sox until traded to New York last winter. Scott narrowly escaped having his record broken on the Yanks' last trip west this year, The ehortstop stop- ped off in Thdiana and on the way to Chi¢ago to rejoin his team was held up by a train wreck. By pressing various means of transportation into | service he reached the White Sox park in time to play the last few in- nings of the first game of a double header, The record nearest to Scott's is 577 games made from 1885 to 1890 in the old American association and Natlon- al league by George B. Pinckney of the Brooklyn team. TFred Luderus of the Philadelphia Nationals holds tho modern National league record, 533 games played between 1916 and 1919.

LEXINGTON TRACK The Great Volo Trots in Sensa- tional Style in Feature Event Lexington, Ky,, Oct. 3—8ome of the most spectacular racing in fts 50 years of history was witnessed at the opening day of the Golden Jubilee meeting of Kentucky Ilors: Breeders' assoclation yesterday afternoon. The teature event, the Walnut Hall Cup, went to Sanford Small's four year old colt, The Great Volo, the three heats being the fastest ever trotted in the event and the third heat equaling the.record for the event set by Ante |Guy in 1918, Peter the-RBrewer in a hot stretch drive landed the first heat from Czar Wérthy in impressive style, but Cox changed his tactics with The Great Volo in the second and third heats coming from behind in well-timed drives and landed the brother to Peter Volo and Volga in front. Czar Worthy ‘was not prominent after the first heat. Frank H. Ells' filly, Jane Revere of his own breeding with the local trainer Ben White as pilot, won the 31st renewal of the two year old i« vision of the Kentucky Futurity. Her second heat in 2:06% is the best of the season for a two year old trotter. Jane Revere is the daughter of Volga that won the event in 1915, Volga's time on that occasion was 2:07%, equaling the then world's record for two year old trotting fillies. This is the first instance wherq a | daughter of a Kentucky Futurity -win- ner also has won the historic event. W. B. Dickerson’s Finvarra was a rather easy winner in the 2:15 trot, which opened the meeting. Plain Mac from the Murphy stable, was the fa- vorite, but the brother of Escotillo was not to be denied. Todd Hart trotted a good race, the others never being prominent. The closing event went to the Comet, driven by Henry Thomas, the finishes being close in each heat and the time 2:03% and 2:03 1-4. Fast for this class of horses. KILLED WHILE HUNTING. Old Town, Me, Oct. 3.—The hunt- ing season in the Maine woods opened yesterday and the first human mor- tality came quickly.
