SCOTT MAY GET

Yankees Shortstop Billed for

1,oooth Game.

NEW YORK. March 3.-Yankee
fans are inclined to read a warning
OF future trouble in the news state.
ment, that Everett Scott pulled UP
lame while playing golf at Hot
Springs the. other day.
Whether the Deacon Of Auburn
will stand up under the strain Of
every day playing this season iS q
problem. Scottie has participated
in 986 conservatives games and his
legs are not as supple and strong
as they used to be. In fact, there
are many who believe that when
Scott completes his 1,00Oth game
Miller Higgins will give him q
rest and will make a practice OF
relieving him every once in g while
during the season.
If Higgins carries out this ten.
tative plan it may add to the eftec-
tiveness of Scott. 1t is betraying
no secrets to declare that the
Deacon slowed up more last season
than any other shortstop in the
league. 1t is a. subject OF nation
wide comment, and it is known that
certain clubs in leagues which do

to see what would develop in Scott's
case.
One club in the Coast League
would have welcomed the veteran
Iron Man in the event that the
Yankees decided his race was run.
The strain of playing game after
game at shortstop can best be ap-
preciated by those who have played
hall No other infielder is called
upon to make so many quick starts
and stops as the shorstop. He has
to go to left and right, cover on
throws and perform one thousand
and one other duties.
The ballplayer's legs generally be.
come weak long before his arm.
The eyes outlast both arms and
legs. It was an injury to his legs
which caused the release Of Duffy
Lewis from the Yankees, and later
from the Senators, yet Lewis today
is just as good a ball player as
ever.

the difference between an amateur

promptly that professional was not

81 !
While the Yankee leader was de-
claring his belief In the absolute
supremacy of the champions on
their home court, the young Aloysius
Club players, grizzly determined to
win the District championship after
being thwarted two successive years
by the Yankees, were preparing to
turn the trick Nate was saying
couldn't be done.
And it was Nate himself who
failed in the pinch and killed what
fighting chance the Yankees had to
beat Aloysius. The score was
% to %.
For about thirty-five minutes Nate
sat on the floor by the press table
watching with nervous eyes the
fighting Aloysius players hold his
teammates point for point. At
times Nate became so nervous he
squirmed over radius of five feet
and more than once nearly upset the
press table by rearing.
The battle was nip and tuck all
the way and gave Nate, as well as
hundreds of spectators that packed
the Coliseum plenty Of cause for ex-
element.
{.
Nate groaned when, in the middle
of the last half, Catlin was yanked
for making four personal fouls.
Goetz took his place. Goetz, who
had played the entire first half and
then given way to Tommy Ford,
captain, too, committed a fourth
foul, and Nate was the only sub
available.
He dashed into the fitful fray
when Aloysius was leading by slim
margin. The Yankees were fighting
as they never had before. There
was little time to knock down even
the small advantage held by the foe.
Nate was under the basket, an
easy goal in sight. It was soft.
But Nate blew. 1t broke the Yam
kee back, which already had weak
tanned drive of Aloysius.
To single out separate hero Of
Aloysius' brilliant victory might do
an injustice. Every player sent
in against the Yankees by Coach
George CollifloWer played his part
well. Farley shot the most goals,
with six. In fact, he was the only
Aloysius player to score more than
once from scrimmage.
But in making his six baskets
Farley was aided by the clever
passing and speed of his team
mates. Waxman, the Yankee CEN
ter, was outjumping Farley but was
outclassed by the latter's general
ability.
Tommy Ford, the Yankees
star. played only the second half,
but in that time he looked to be
the most capable performer on
the floor.
Practically every basket made by
both teams was the result of a
flash of lightning password and a
quick shot for the rim. 1t was un-
doubtedly the fastest, hardest
fought Independent game OF the
season, though many have been
closer.
Before the big teams clashed
the Aloysius NUGGETS gave the crowd
q thrill by trimming the speedy
Epiphany Midgets by 81 to 20. A
basket in the last ten seconds
brought victory to the little Aloysius
lads. The youngsters of both teams
showed surprising class as basketball
performers.
Next Monday comes another big
battle. Aloysius and the American
Legion will meet at the Coliseum in
the three-cornered series for the
championship.
showed about the same margin of
superiority over the champion Yam.
