LARGEST SQUAD IN HISTORY OUT FOR KENTUCKY ELEVEN
Coach Vim Will Have To Dispose Of Some Of
 Candidates

LEXINGTON. Ky, Sept. 25.-One big problem faces head Coach Jack Winn of the University of Kentucky, before the start of the initial game Saturday afternoon with the Mar shall college eleven of Huntington, West Va. That problem is just what to do with the many men left over after he selected a squad of 2S or 30 men to carry through the season and take on the road trips. True, it will not be necessary for him to cut the gridders while on home soil but the Wildcats are to go out of the state for a goodly portion of their con- tests this season. namely the ones with Georgia Tech and with the Uni versity of Alabama.
 With the opening of school there reported to the trainers the largest squad in the history of the institu- the outlook. They still are and have every reason to be for there are sixty men out for the eleven that are each one nearly as good as the next to pick a first string eleven from, those eligible is one of the real tasks of the season.
 In the practice scrimmage sessions which began last week the Cats had two lines in operation totaling very close to ton and a quarter and ap- proximately 1900 pounds on each side of the contestants.
 The line that starts the Saturday encounter will in all probability aver age about 194 pounds to the man and will be evenly distributed from end to end This will give the Wildcats one of the heaviest, fastest outfits in all of Dixie. They will need it all for they will meet five of the best in the southern part of the country when the meet Centre, University of l Alabama, Georgia Tech, Washington and Lee and last but by no means least the University of Tennessee as the grand finale of what the Cat supporters hope will be successful one,

EUerett Scott Sets New Game Record


 NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-The rec ord for consecutive performances in baseball games-major and minor-now belongs to Everett Scott, shortstop of the New York Yankees, without a doubt. Early this season he established a new record for the major leagues but some statistician delved and learned that Perry Lipe, a player in the Southern league, held the record at 1,127 consecutive games, finished in 1902.
 Scott yesterday ran his string up to 1,12S games. If he plays the remaining games on the Yan- kees schedule this year he will have completed seven full seaons and part of another without hav- ing missed a regularly scheduled game. He began his major league career with the Red Sox on June 20. 1916.

Championship Battling Will Begin On October 10, Meet ing Of Officials With Judge K. M. LandiS Decides

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-(By Asso- ciated Press.) )-The 1923 worlds se- ries will open on Wednesday, Octo- Der 10, at the Yankee stadium, home of the three-time American league champions and greatest baseball park in the world regardless of whether the New York Giants or the Cincinnati Reds win the fight to represent the National league in the annual classic.
 This was decided today at meet ing of local club officials with Com missioner Kenesaw M. Landis, when Col. Jacob Ruppert owner of the New York Yankees, won the toss to decide which league should have the honor of opening the series.
 That's a good start, anyway" said Colonel Ruppert afterwards.
 Last year the Yankees lost the toss, and also the series, to their Gotham rivals.
 Should the Giants stand off the and capture the pennant, thus mak- ing the series an all-metropolitan af- fair for the third successive year, the title games will alternate tween the Yankee stadium and the Polo Grounds, until sne club wins the necessary majority of four con- tests.
 In the event that Cincinnati upsets calculations and wins the flag by miracle finish" the first two games will be played in the Yankee stadium and the next two at Red- land field, with a probable lapse of a day for the shifting of battle fields.
 The scale of prices at both local rsdks will be similar to that of last year at the Polo Grounds, where the entire series was contested.
 SC For Box Seats.
 The prices are s6 for box seats, s5 for reserved seats, s3 for general reserved admission and s1 for the bleachers. The prices that would prevail at Zealand field, in the event that Cincinnati wins, will be deter mined later.
 The games will start at 2 p. m, the same as last year. 1t was further deA cided. Commissioner Landis was un- derstood to have favored starting them at 1 :30 D. m, to avoid as far as possible the necessity of calling ex- tra inning games, such as the famous tie of last fall, but it was believed this time would be unsatisfactory from the point of view of the fans
 Some surprise was occasioned 1T baseball circles by the fact that John A. I1ty QlSis pItSAdGnN pl tiC ANdAiO ho league, did not attend the session which was held within a few blocks of his uptown office.
 T was not aware of the meeting nor did I know that Commissioner Landis was in town" said MT. Hydler when his attention was called to the announcement of series arrange ments. Beyond this, he declined tc comment.
 It was pointed out that while the
