MIR. SCOTT OF BLUFFTON

OF the five or six thousand people
who have the great good fortune to
live In Button on the Wabash, In
diana's celebrated river, the most dis
tinguished is Mr.. Everett Scott, short
stop of the worlds champions 1t will
be twenty-four years next Sunday
since Scott was born in Bluffton, and
he still calls it home, sweet home, des-
pising the lures Of the great cities
which he inhabits in the good old
summer time.
Scott got his baseball start in Ko-
komo, in his native Hoosierdom. That
was in 1909, and he finished that sea-
son with Fairmont, W. Va. He was
next heard OF in the uniform of
Youngstown, O. One of the eminent
residents of Youngstown was James
McAleer, the veteran player and at
that time part owner of the Boston
Americans. McA1eer was very much
impressed with Everetts shortstop-
ping, and recommended the Hoosier
youth to J. Garland Stahl, the Red Sox
pilot. Stahl took the tip and landed
Scott, but after giving him the once
over he decided that the youngster
wasn't ripe, and sent him to ST. Paul
for further agingAi n the woods. Scott
was recalled 10 .BOSIOn IN 1914, ana
he took old Heinie Wagner's short
stopping job away from him without
as much as by-your-1eave. In the
geld months Scott runs cigar store
and bowling alley in his native baili-
wick. Young lady readers who have
felt their hearts flutter at the sight of
Everett's handsome frontspiece are
hereby warned to keep off the grass,
because there is already one Mrs.
Everett Scott.

The shoot tomorrow will be at 80
targets and thsy viii be shot in two
events Of 25 targets each. While many
shooters will doubtless be anxious to
shoot more than so targets, the club
managemert reserves the right to
limit each man 10 so targets should
the crowd be Unexpectedly large.
Every one should have a chance 10
shoot at least few targets. and while
no shooter would intentionally mo-

others. nevertheless just s~ch CON

ed to shoot all the targets they
wished. Later on facilities will be
provided so that all may shoot to their
hearts content.
