HANK SEVERED
MAY Be ONLY
DREAMING

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-Hank
SEVERED may have to go back to
the st. Louis Browns and give up
all hopes of being with a pennant-
winner, following a protest lodged
by Connie Mack with President
Johnson, Of the American League.
Connie seeks to ruin the Washing
ton-St. Louis trade sending Mo.
gridge and Hargrave to st. Louis
and SEVERED to Washington.
Under the rules no trades can
take place after June Is between
clubs of the same league. The
Westinghouse. Louis trade was an.
nounced three days later, though
it was explained that it had been
completed on June 10 and kept
secret until the close OF the series
then being played in the Capital.
"All that may be true" said Mack
today, but I'd like to know it for
certain, that's all. Rules are rules
and should be, obeyed."

Fred Toney Resigns
Again, This Time
For Good

Fred Toney, veteran right
hand pitcher, has again retired.
With Nashville early this sea-
son he displayed much of his
old time ability, but when the
heat began to sock in became
less effective. Without cere-
mony he told Manager Jimmy
Hamilton that he was through
for good this time and retired
to his farm in Tennessee.
The club placed him on the
voluntarily retired list. Toney
had been in retirement when he
decided to try it with Nashville
this spring.

Even though nearly at the end
Of his competitive rope, SCOTS luck
ran true to form. He was recently
traded from the Yankees. a seem.
ingly hopeless outfit, to the cham
pion Senators, favored by many to
win the 1895 pennant in the Ameri-
can League. With his usual facil-
ity, Scott again has jumped from
the frying pan into the plush-lined
chaise lounge.
Yet, with all due respect to his
ability, Scott would hardly be re-
membered in the coming years II 1t
wasn't for the fact that he hung up
an endurance record that probably
1907 consecutive ball games from
June 20. 1916, to May Z Of this
year, when he was benched by
Miller Huggins-a most remarkable
effort.
But otherwise there was nothing
about SCOTS ball playing to en-
grave his name on the pages Of
Time. He was an excellent short
stop. but there have been better.
And, lest a misconstruction be
placed upon these phrases, permit
the writer to assure one and all
that he considers Scott to have
been eminently deserving Of his
good fortune. And. in this, he diff.
fers not at all from a dozen others
to whom luck was more or less of
q total stranger.
Scott, on the other hand, became
acquainted almost from the outset
of his major league career. He
came UP to the Red Sox in 1915, re.
placed the elderly Heinie Wagner
and played against the Phillies in
the fall series. The Sox won again
in 1916 and 1918, and Scott was
on hand for the melon cutting.
Then Harry Frazee began dis
mantling the Sox and after he had
rendered them useless for purposes
of pennant hunting, he traded
Scott TO the champion Yankees of
1922. The young man got into

Their reasons have been two in
