Warm Weather Causes the Pitch- ing to Become Harder to Solve

Chicago, June 10. - With warmer weather and more work the major league pitchers are hitting their stride with the result that the slug gers are finding 1t harder every day to get the ball Into safe territory This Is shown by the steady shrink age during the past week or two in the batting averages of George Sis Ter, Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker, Rogers Hornsby and others
 The youngsters, who set the league afre in the first weeks of the season with .450 marks. are now getting back to their normal averages of .275 while sisler and others, dropping more slowly than the flash in the pan bat ters still are rapidly getting down to their usual records
 Sisler Still Leads Sisler still tops the American league batters today despite q drop to .419 this week the mark including games out nine hits in his last 6 games, scored six runs and stole five bases, and as a result continues to be the whole show excepting the home run attraction. With his 23 stolen bases, Sisler is far in front of his rivals on the paths, his closest competitor be- ing Kenneth Williams, who has pill fered IT.
 The late start and slow program made by Babe" Ruth has encourag- cd other players to enter the home run competition in the hope of top ping the Babe" Ken Williams of St. Louis bagged another homer bring ing his string to 14. Ruth has five. Ed Miller of Philadelphia is trailing with 12, c. Walker of Philadelphia has nine, Harry Heilman, of Detroit eight. while Baker of New York, Judge Of Washington and Falk of Chi cago, have entered the contest with seven each.

A boxer usually has his head to use in a bout. Mack uses his all right, but 1t is for an en- tirely different purpose than we have in mind.
 The Meriden fans were roofing hard for Hall to beat Mack. Around the | ringside, several Hartford fans, re- ciprocated in the big bout by pulling for Wagner. This is inter-city rivalry | for you.
 "1zzy" Kaplan Is the best young catcher we have looked over in some time. That boy should make the big leagues. if he continues to stop 'em as he did last night. Mickey Travers of New Haven chal- lenged the winner of the main bout. As usual, the Meriden fans gave him the rage" for even thinking of meet ing their pet. If memory serves us, Mickey's record in bouts with Kaplan is the best so far.

SCOTT'S GREAT RECORD
Tanks Shortstop Has Played In Ss4 Consecutive Games Since Joining American League Six Years Ago.

Chicago, June 10. - Everett Scott, shortstop of the Tanks established q mark for playing in consecutive games which probably will stand for years. The "iron man" of the infield com pleted his S84th consecutive game when the Tanks and White Sox closed their series yesterday
 The Yankee shortstop started his record when he joined the Red Sox in 1916. He never missed q game in the six years on that club and since becoming a member of the New York club has played in the 52 games so far. In all these years Scott has ranked as the best shortstop in the American league. His field average for the entire time with the Red Sox being .970. He holds the record of making the least number of errors in a season. In the years 1918 and 1919 Scott made total of 34 errors, di- vided equally in each season, which gave him a fielding average of ..976.
 Scott also has batted well. In his six years in a Red Sox uniform he played in S32 games and had a grand average of .255.
 Since joining the Hanks. Scott has been at bat l 90 times and has clouted out 56 hits for batting average of ,294, while in the fielding department he has been charged with four errors in 117 chances.

Wagner was far loo clever fer the 0lL yer City favorite. and his foetwork. blocking and ducking. made his rival look dizzy, and at times foolish, in his awkward effort to locate him. straASs as 1t may seem. there were practical. ny no dissenting voices al the decidoa, which is another way Of saying that Wagner won by mile and a half.
 In the semi-fnal bout, Joe Hall. of Bridgeport, clearly outpointed Youns Mack Of Hartford In ten rounds. The Hartford boy got himself Tn bad" by his putting tactics, while Hall fought a cool clever battle. The prelimin- ary resulted in the first downfall of the night for the house of Kaplan, when 'Izzy' brother of Louis Rap Ian, was beaten to pulp by Young Leonard of Wallingford Referee Glennon showed excellent judgment in stopping the affair in the sixth and final round, after Kaplan had been hit with everything but the ring posts.
