THEY BAT FEM DOWN
 THE MAIN LINE NOW

New York, April 26-"Tais spring." an- nounced Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, T heard the fun nies baseball expression not on record. We were playing down al Winston-Salem, Ernie Shores home town, and Babe Ruth clouted one of those home runs.
 By the way, that's the longest drive he has hit since he joined our club. Way over the race track. Next time up, Babes big swing missed the third strike by a mile.
 "On the front row was a pile of whis- kers behind which sat Carolina agri- culturist. That third strike cut the mid dle of the plate. I don't see how Babe missed it. The hick couldn't understand, either
 You can't tell me this games on the level he said to Pipp. He meant to miss that one. Nobody could hit home run and then strike out on a ball comm right down the main line
 'I've heard it called groove a mill lion times and alley and lane but that main line tickled the boys. That's what our club calls 1t now"

o oMPLAINT is raised as H. C..

~ oMPLAINT is raised as H. c. W L. issue in the Southern league that hotels have exceeded the limit in raising the price for accommoda- tions The first cry was heard in Birmingham when George Hutchison, secretary Of the Nashville ball club, asserted that hotel had doubled the rates and he, started on a quest here for more moderate prices.
 Indeed, from all over the south is heard this same cry while some of the lesser leagues are thinking of pro- viding tents for the players to sleep in while on the road. There seems to be an extenuating feature in such a plan, for it would silence the player who is ever willing to complain that he does not get a room with plenty of air.
 But we must come to the defense of the fans right here. The raise in hotel rates needs not be basis for ball club complaints when the price of admission to the grandsand also has taken a leap. And worse, according to the fans, who allege that they are paying more money and not seeing the quality of ball they expect for the price.
 This tent scheme, however, is some thing new and novel. Picture Big Pcters, Baron backstop, snoozing urder one of these field army dog tents.

sv Associated Pres,


 Boston, April 26-Everett Scott, short stop of the Boston Americans. broke all ma1or league records for playing in con secutive games, when he took the field against the Athletics at Philadelphia to- day. With today's game Scott has par ticipated in 5s4 consecutive league con tests Luderus, of the Philadelphia Ma tionals, set the record at 5SS games last season. but he has not played this year. Scott started his continuous playing on June 20. 1916, with the Red Sox, and he has not missed a game since. Ac- tually, Scott had previously outstripped Luderus through participation in eleven world series games in two years, but these post-season games have not heen considered in the consecutive records for regular Sames.
 The Boston shortstop has to his credit also for two years what is said to be the highest fielding average for any shortstop playing the full season in either major league. His mark of .976. made in both 1913 and 1919 is the highest on record, Truck" Turner's average of .97S in 19lS being the best previously made in the American League and .96S, Joe Tinker record at short for Cincinnati, being the best in the National League.

0T1HIS is tale of a bout staged in
 England more than year ago,
 which is claimed by w. C. Kelly. famous in the theatrical world as '"The Virginia Judge,' as the funniest sight he ever witnessed.
 ''Bandsman Blake was billed to fight Soldier Rogers in London related Kelly. "Over in England they don't know much about heavyweights and they assumed that these two giants were going to put up a first-class show, so a lot of the highbrows and a big portion of the hoi polloi turned out to see the affair.
 "Blake was first to enter the ring and he was so graceful about it that two of his seconds had to hoist him through the ropes Not to be outdone, Soldier Rogers arrived few seconds later, know ing that two men assisted Bandsman Blake into the ring, had three men assist him in getting into the ring.
 "Eventually, all the preliminaries were disposed with and the crowd settled back into it's seat anticipating an evening of pleasure. The gong rang-and the fight was on.''
 "The two huskies walked toward each other They arrived in the center of the ring in due course of time, looked over each other carefully and then backed away as if in fear of contamination by the nearness of the other. After survey ing each other carefully for a while, the two tubs decided-the decision probably prompted by calls from the crowd-that they might just as well have it over with as quickly as possible.
 ''So once more they numbered towar1 each other and got within fighting range. Bandsman Blake carefully studied the pose of his rival. then picked up his right hand from a place below his knees and let loose a swing that is highly reminiscent of Babe Ruth taking swipe at a baseball. The blow-an open-hander landed full upon the face of Soldier Rogers. The sound was like that which comes when fellow with a plank slaps a lot of fresh mortar.
 Soldier Rogers lifted his gloved hands to his face and, backing toward his cor ner howled so that all might hear:
 .' That's done it-thats done it, re- tire
 And so the fight ended"
