 New Yorss April l7.--B0s shnwkAy, baseball and World War veteran, will pitch the first ball in tho new Yankee stadium when 1t is dedicated tomor- row. Manager Miller Iuggins yes terday made this announcement at Ebbets Field, where his team played the Robins. Shawkey is the oldest member of the Yankees in point of service with the team, and this uh- doubtedly affected Huggins' decision to start him against the Red Sox. al- though Sailor Bob is in finc shape ana bids fair to have a good season. Hug gins also made another announce fnent of interest when he said that he expected Everett Scott to play in tomorrow's game. Scott sprained his ankle recently, and there has been some question as to whether he would be able to continue his unbroken string of 9S6 consecutive games. How& ever, he practiced with the team in Brooklyn yesterday. and will probably be right out there tomorrow.
