In announcing her decision to

surrendering to the salary demands

Manager Sisters daily lineup.
Business Manager Bill Friel, OF
the Browns. announced today that
the club officials We're making no
new moves in Jake's direction.
And, as Jake apparently is making
no attempt to hustle to st. Louis.
he probably will come under the
ban of players who are ineligible
for failing to join their club ten
days after the season opens.
The major league rules, adopted
pursuant to the provisions OF
article II, section IT, of the major
league agreement of January IL,
1921, carry a clause which will
place Bill Jacobson on the ineligible
list If he fails to report to the
Browns by next Thursday.
The clause which covers Jacob
sons case is section II, and reads:
Ineligible Players-Any player
who violates his contract or reserva-
ton. Or who fails to report to. his
club within ten days after the open
ing of the championship season, or
who participates in a game with
or against a club containing or
controlled by ineligible players or
a player under indictment for con-
duct detrimental to the good repute

considered an ineligible player and
commissioner may also at any time
determine, either OF his own mo-
ton or at the request Of a league
or club, that the best interests of
the game require a player to be de-
clared ineligible. and after such
declaration no club shall be per-
mitted to employ him unless he
shall have been reinstated."
With the season starting last
Tuesday. the ten-day period cover
ing holdouts will expire for Jacob
son next Thursday. And should
Jake fall from the eligible set then
he would have to apply for re-
instatement before becoming eligt-

shall determine whether or not the

Business Manager Friel said that

familiar with all regulations, copy

define the relations OF leagues,
clubs and players is presented to
them. Players are requested to sign
a receipt slip after receiving the

How long will 1t be before
Everett Scott misses a game? How
many more consecutive contests
viii he add to his world record
Of 1926? This Iron Man IL only
human, after all. and age is slowly
but surely slowing him up-even.
tually he will have to miss a game,
or leave the Yankee lineup per-
manently. But just think OF it
played 1900 without q miss, and
If he continues his remarkable run
through the 1925 season, he will
have reached the astounding total
of 1,446!
Scott hasn't shown any per-
ceptible signs OF slowing up during
the training season, nor has Mana
ger Higgins given any hint that
he doesn't expect to use the vet
eran in his regular position at
shortstop all season. A Yankee
team without Everett Scott at
short would be as much sensa-
ton as a golfer who didn't talk
about his golf game.
And speaking of golf. Scott is
one OF the many members of the
former world champions who go
In for the ancient and honorable
pastime. Bowling, too, is a hobby
with Scotty. and some day he
hopes to have his own bowling
establishment in FIT. Wayne, In
diana.
From 1914 to 1921 Everett Scott
was with the Boston Red Sox. On
June 20, 1918, he started his
cord-breaking string of games
played, continuing it when he
was traded to the Yankees in the
fall of 1921. In July, 1922, Everett
nearly lost his precious record,
and had to spend $40 in order
to reach Chicago in time for the
end Of the game after the train
he was travelling on, apart from his
teammates. had been wrecked.
Scotty has probably the most
accurate throw to first base of
any shortstop in the game. He
has played in five World Series.
When he played his 1,O00th con-
secutive game he was presented
with a medal by the Secretary of
the Navy. When he plays his
1,500th game he will probably get
medal from the President.

The return bout between Jack

and Joe Bashara. OF Norfolk, Va,
will be staged at Washington Bar
racks on the night of April 20.
according to an announcement to-
day by Matchmaker frankie Mann.
On New Year night, at Fort

giving him his first setback since
coming to Washington. Turner had
been out of the ring for months
before that mixup and. though he
offered no alibis, he did ask for
a return bout.
Bashara injured his right hand
shortly afterward and ever since
has been on the shelf, nursing the
injury. He is now reported In
good condition and so will be on

It is a lukewar1n Mackian fan

some sort of noise. The near clean

Boston Club. But IL the Mackmen's
