1100111 GAME

Y a n k e e 8110er Will
Reach Goal Tomorrow
If He Isn’t Hurt.

"The first thousand always comes
the hardest." Everett Scott. the crack
shortstop of the Yankees. once de-
elsred in talking about his ambition
to run his string of consecutive
semen played up to that unprecedent-
ed number.

Barring accident or setbacks by
bad weather. Scott's dream of reach-
ing that goal will be realized in the
game his team plays at Washington
Wednesday. his record having touch-
ed 997 straight games at the close of
the week here. His long run was
started on June 20. 1916. while a
member of the Red Sox team.

This remnrkable performance. in
one sense. makes Scott the world's
greatest record smasher. for; every
day he has played since he equaled
the previous high record he has hung
up it new mark. The best perfor-
mance ahead of Scott's was that of
George B. l’inckney. shortstop of the
old Brooklyn Association team in
1886 to 1890. who played a. string of
577 games without a break. Scott
has therefore excelled his own rec-
ord 420 times to date and is still go-
ing strong.

This great total does not represent
the full sum of Scott's achievements
in the major leagues. for he has also
taken part in three world series in
which he played sixteen straight
games: live with Boston in 1916. all
again with Boston in 1918. and five
with the Yankees in 1921.

Another notable feature of his rec-
ord is that he has never played at any
other position than shortstop.

Scott narrowly averted a break in
his run last summer. “mile the
Yankees were on the way to Chicago,
he stopped off at his home in In-
diana. On his way to rejoin the team
the next day he ran into a railroad
wreck, which blocked his train. He
rushed out and hired a taxi and
blazed through to Chicago. arriving
in time to get into the lineup for part
of the game. It cost him about 360
to keep his record intact.

(in the firming side Scott has also
registered several records. He has a
number of long stretches of errorle-
games to his credit and for the last
five seasons has led all major league
shortstops in fielding percentage. In
1917 he first showed signs of bril-
liance in holding when he led the
Americnn League with a mark of
.953. His averages since that yslr.
all top figures. have been .976 in
1918 and 1919. the highest average

 

over registered by a shortstop in
either league: .973 in 1920. .972 in
1921 rind .966 in 1922.

Although a frequent sufferer from
the players' nrv-h enemy. “Charley
horse," Scott has consistently refused
to quit his post. He has been spiked
time and again by players sliding into
second. but has been exceedingly
adept in avoiding crippling injuries.

OLD HORSE HAS
EARNEDNDRTUNE

“'hrn Exterminator finished second
in his race at Iiuvre de. Grace Satur-
day the total amount of his earnings
was swrilcd to 3:48.456. or only $1.-
009 less than that piled up by Man
0' \Vur in two seasons of racing. Fig-
ures compiled for the American nac-
ing Mnnunl show that Man 0' “'ar
won8249.465. "(lid Slim" has won his
quarter of a. million in races open to
the world. with nr~ither matches nor
gate money Contt'sts to increase the
aggregate. Up to the present time
he has started in ninety-two racer.
forty-seven of which he has won. in
seventeen of his forty-five losing per-
formances he finished second .and in
fifteen third. so that he nu run un-
pisced only thirteen times during his
career.

If he remains sound it is a fore-
gone conclusion that before the end of
the year he will supplant Man 0' Wsr
as the leading American money win-
ning race horse. and it is not unlikely
that he will have piled up winnings
or 8300.000 or more. In his cam-
paign last season he added 071.035 to
his total. This is more money than
any other seven-year-old horse ever
won. just as his winnings in 1921
were a record for “swear-old rac-
ers.

A total of $300,000 would make
Esterminator in reality the largest
money winner in the history of horse
racing. here or abroad. England's
lsrgest winner is lsingiass. whose to-
tal is 8291.275. Ksar. the new turf
prodigy of France.is usually credited

with $320,000, but this amount is
based on the fiction that 1.000.000
francs are equivalent to 8320.000.

Actually they would not buy as many
dollars as Exterminator has now won.
not by a long shot.
