SCOTT Is SURPRISED
AT BEING BENCHED

BY the Associated fresS.
NEW YORK, May 7.-Everett
Scott, shortstop of the New York
Yankees, who played in 1907 con-
secutive major league base ball games
until his string was broken yesterday,
is on his way West. but not with the
team. He will spend few days
visiting at his home in Indiana.
He said his benching came as a
surprise, as he was lust beginning
to play ball"
II got two hits Tuesday" said
Scotty. Il care nothing about the
record, for 1 realized my ambition
when l had played 1000 straight
games. Had my benching come when
the team was losing I wouldn't have
cared. but 1t seems funny that it
should happen the day after we win
a game and I make two hits.
II did not expect to go on forever,
but l never will sit on the bench"
At the Yankee Stadium 1t was said
that illness had been Higgins reason
for taking Scott from the Bne-up and
replacing him with the youthful Wan
ninger. 1t was learned, however, that
the benching of Scott was the first
move in a shake-up of the Yankee
team, which, somewhat handicapped
by the illness and absence of Babe
Ruth. has been making a sorry
showing.
Yesterdays losing battle with the
Athletics for Scotty to get into the
fray for a couple of innings at least,
and he was standing UP in the dugout
apparently expecting to go out, but
fate ruled otherwise, and his record,
started with the Boston Red SoX on
June 20, 1916, was broken.

Harry Heilmann, former batting
champion of the American League.
poled two homers, O'Rourke scored a
triple and two singles and Jones and
Rigney each singled three times. The
result was a 11-to-4 victory for the
Tigers.
Meantime the Athletics registered
their second victory in three games
over the once powerful Yankees and
remained in tie with the world cham
pion Senators for first place. The
teams went into the tenth with two
runs each.
In the tenth Max Bishop, formerly
of Baltimore, was the first batSman
for the Athletics. Two days before
he had shot a home run into the right
field bleachers to tie the contest, which
his team won finally. Yesterday he re-
peated the effort, smashing out
homer which proved to be the winning
score. His mates, however, sent three
more runs across, and the Athletics
won, 6 to ..
Brooklyn and Boston provided the
only National League game Day
Vance granted only four hits and ne
gotiated two doubles on his own ac-
count. The Braves pitchers were
pelted for 10 runs. while their mates
could not score on Vance.

Sisler is the batting surprise Of the
league, although Ty Cobb right now
is basking in the limelight with a rec
ord of five home runs in two conSecu-
tive days-a modern big league record
and is showing himself to be far
from has-been despite his long ca
reer. In Florida Sisler contended he
was all right, but he didn't take his
stance at the plate as he had in the
past and practically nobody figured
him to be as much of a batting factor
as before he suffered his eye trouble.
SisIer Has Fooled EN-.
Most of the managers who watched
him in the South figured he had de-
veloped a batting weakness and in
structed their pitchers how to work
on it. But if the pitchers have been
able TO follow instructions, they have
not succeeded in keeping Sisler from
hitting the ball safely, for he has been
keeping his mark above 400.
If he can do that in the Spring, he is
not likely to fall off later, because he
should be able to hit better than some
others with his good start and the
confidence good start gives. Sisler S
natural ability to Dat is not exceeded
by any man. His eyes are the one
question in his batting.
Goslin is progressive batter.
When he began to play ball in the
South a local scout recommended him
strongly for his ability to hit the ball.
Two professional scouts looked him
over and turned him down on the be-
lief he wouldn't make a good batter.
Both are still rueing their decision.
Goslin Is no mushroom chap. In
1922 he batted 1924; in 1923 he finished
with an even 800. and in 1924 he
climbed IN 344 This WAS some dis
tance behind Ruth and short dis
tance behind some of the veterans,
but it confirmed belief in his ability to
bat and strengthened the opinion of
critics who had been watching him as
a potential batting leader.

1g Severe Test for Cr Gosn in Running for Batting Co1n
TY BREAKS RECORDS
BY BATTING STREAK

DETROIT, Mich, May 1.-THE top
pling of two of base balls oldest
marks by Ty Cobb in as many days
aroused the calloused Tiger fans
here to action.
Starting Tuesday, after he made six
straight hits. including three homers,
they scanned record books, and con-
tinued yesterday, when he made two
more homers, for a total of five in two
days.
This total parallels the feat of Pop
Arson of the old Chicago White Stock
ings, who hit five circuit blows in 1884.
Babe Ruth, Ken Williams and
Charlie Walker of the Athletics held
the modern figures with four each.
Cobbs' three home runs, a pair of
singles and double in six trips to the
plate ordinarily is enough for any
bleacherite to rave about. Bla the
mathematicians found that a record,
engraved on the books by the mighty
Honus Wagner was a bit obliterated
by the bat of Ty Cobb Tuesday. Ty
holds the extra base hit record with a
total of / ASS during his lifetime in the
game.
The old mark set by the Flying
Dutchman of the Pittsburgh Pirates
was ,448.
In addition to the marks previously
reported as having been abruptly
dumped into the wayside, Cobb played
havoc with a number of his own.
These, with new figures to date, are:
New worlds record for singles, Tues
days two making 2,695.
New mark for total bases" 0,147.
New worlds record for total num-
Der of hits, 1857.
New mark for total number of runs
scored, the four he made yesterday
and two today giving total of 1853.
New American League record for to-
tai times at bat, 1876.

The proponents of the measure also
asserted that holding the games would

this would be the first time for the
former World War belligerents to
meet in peaceful competition. The
government was able to afford the
subsidy of 100000 forms, they ar
gued, and Holland would incur the
amused contempt of the world II
she withheld the financial facilities.
Opponents of the bill held that no
Christian, government ought to toler-
ate revival of the GalSes at all, even
If the concession were made that the
Sabbath would not be desecrated. One
exclaimed that he would rejoice to see
Holland forever struck from the list
of nations entering for the Olympics,
in which nothing worthy is done for
the glory of God"
Another declared the present-day
sports mania" unworthy of nations
aspiring to spiritual culture, and
added that the modern OlympicS
wholly lacked the idealistic back
ground of the classic Hellenic sports
after which they were patterned.
Defeat of the bill, Sc to 4s. means
the pigeonholing Of the subsidy plan
at least until October. as the elections
are due within few weeks and the
new chamber will not meet until fall.
Meanwhile a public subscription will
be started to raise the funds needed
by the Olympic committee. and the
heads of this body are confident they
will be able to appaer before the
Olympic Congress in Prague, on May
2o. with adequate guarantees of their
ability to stage the games.
