Tom Cowler Would Be

Tom Cowler, the Cumberland
man mountain, is about to re-
turn to New York after long
sojourn in England. Tom wants
to tackle any of the big fellows
now in the spotlight, and he
may be matched with Fred
Fulton if the lanky plasterer is
willing. Fulton and Cowler
took part in an exciting battle
in the Middle West some years
ago. Both scored knockdowns,
but Fulton outlasted Tom. In
his last ring appearance in this
part of the country Cowler
knocked out Al Reich. Reich,
Fulton and Cowlef are three Of

The National League came into
existence forty-seven years ago.
Inc American League started in
1SOu. In all these years no player
OF the thousands whose names have
gone down into history has ever
approached the record being set up
by Everett Scott, the veteran short.
stop Of the New York Yankees.
Indeed, few players engage in every
game played by their teams in one
season.
Scott began his record breaking
stunt on June 20, 1915, as a member
of the Boston Red Sox He has
played six complete seasons and
parts of two others.
In the beginning neither he
nor the fans thought much about
making record, but for the past
two years the possibility has stood
ever before his eyes and, unless
fate intervenes, Scott will play his
thousandth game here in Washing
ton next Wednesday.
Scott came close to being
member of the Washington club.
Jimmy McAleer arranged the
deal for Scott and, on going TO
1912, he sent the shOrtstOp back
for another years seasoning after
which he made him 4 member Of
the Boston club.
Grim determination has made
possible his playing in | 900 con-
secutive games. Frequently he has
hobbled upon the field too i'll to
play, but he has stuck to it long
enough to keep his record on it's
way.
Last summer, after missing
train at his home in Auburn, Ind,
he hired motor cars for a long
cross-country jaunt and finally
dashed into the White Sox's park
after riding twenty miles IN
taxicab. The seventh inning had
come along before Scottie appeared
on the field in uniform. The fans.
knowing the meaning of his wild
rush. stood up and gave him a
wonderful reception as he took his
place in the batting order.
The Yankee shortstop had an
other close shave this spring. He
wrenched an ankle in an exhibition
game at Springfield, Mo, four days
before the campaign opened. Learned
sawbones declared he would be on
crutches for two weeks, They didn't
know Scottie. When the Yanks
dedicated their new stadium on
April Is Scott was right there in
his accustomed position and the
record kept or it's way.
Yesterday, in Bostn. Scott played
in his 996th contest. Counting his
twenty-four world series games, the
veteran has already played in his
thousand battles. but next Wednes-
day he is due to reach the mark in
regular championship games. a
mark never before made by a ball
player anyway.
