If. May T. Morris Srhlal The New Tork-Penn League got away to a good start this week. All credit Is due John Henri Farrell, hi eon. Percival Farrell and the many, many club owner in th eight cities who are doing their part to make the league a real success.

But there remains one thing; and that Is, THE UMPIRES ARB UNDERPAID. Imagine tf you will, umpire collecting J00 per month for calling 'em aa they see 'em, in thla he-man's league, and from this generous amount the ump must pay travelling expenses and hotel bills, and other Incidental. It is unprecedented. The N-T-P league 1 prosperous enough for It I said the league head collect Ave cents on every admission paid to every ball yard In the circuit, to meet EXPJBN8E8. Last season more than St.OOO paid for tie game at th Eas tEnd Park, which mean more than $2,100 was paid by the local club toward th expenses of the league.

The league eeason Is four months, each ump collect 11,200 for that period. Tuesday's game here paid one umpire's salary for a month, and with good baseball played by the league thousand upon thousand of dollars will go into the coffer of the organization. Eight thousand dollars is allotted for officers' salaries, viz: President Farrell collect $5,000 so are told; and hi son, Percival, Is paid 13,000 for which fandom does not begrudge them, but; The baseball fana CANNOT understand why a league as healthy and as prosperous a this ctremt, REFUSES TO PAY the current travelling expenses of Ka official representatives at each game the umpires? Other leagues much smaller than th N-T-P do, and why can't the Farrell organization? A laborer i worthy of hi hire, and the writer I anxious to see the fellow who PRODUCES being considered sufficiently by his em-ployer to be paid for the Interest he Is taking in hi work. The travelling expense of the umpire, 1 economically estimated at $40 per month which allows good umpire to collect less Than $8.00 per day for aa occupation that is only seasonal. If the same league can afford to pay Messrs.

Farrell per year for the time and ths effort in the conduct of league affairs, the same coffers can bs tapped again to give the umpires travelling expenses, and It won't cost the clubs additional assessmsnts the tan per cent on each admission ticket is sufficient, with a big year before the league, to cover all such necessary expense. By DAMON RUNYON Wot lot ago discussion of Ue division In thl col-' umo brought a Spencerian outburst from Heine Ra.fa.el, once manager of Frankle Nell of Ban Francisco, champion of th dl vision year ago. The writer had omitted Nell'a name from a list of the great ban- tarns of the past. Although he has long since retire i rrom tne pugms tio game, Heine Rafael's sense of loyalty to Neil's memory couldn't permit the omission to pass un challenged. He asserted that Nell v.

was the greatest bantam that ever uvea. The statement stirred up consid arable discussion among the aged men of flstlana. It brought a long letter rrom Jack Grace, the old Globe Tf otter, a man who has lived long, been far, and seen much and who said among other things that Jem Bowker, the Englishman, who 'i beat Weill In England, dldn com pare with Abe Attell or Terry He Govern. Jftuw from Heine Rafael comes another letter, one of the most in terestlng this writer has received In a long time. He aeea In Grace's remarks about Bowker some reflection on the abll Hjr of Frank le Nell.

No manager of a champion ever believes In the ex-' i stance of another fighter the equal of his man. Heine says Bowker was a legltl mate bantam, making 116 pounds ringside, while Attell and McGov ern were featherweights. But he agrees with Grace's assertion that George Dixon, the negro, was one Of the greatest of all the little men "GRACE said he saw the Nril-JJpwker go In London," Heine con- tlhues. "but he doesn't tell the true story of that bout. years ago the English boxing rules and our rules were as different as Mah Jong and pinochle.

When Neil first started boxing he wax educated to the game by that wise old counsellor. Spider Kelly, one knirlnff DOINGS OF THE BIG LEAGUES AMERICAN LEAGUE Yesterday's Result Athletics, New York, 2 (10 in-Binge). Waahrtngton, 10; Boston, S. Detroit, 11; St. Louis, 4.

EVERETT SCOTT WILL QUIT AND Veteran Whose Long Streak Is Broken, Claras Dis-sention Benched Hb PROUD YANKS ALL SHOT (By DAVIS J.

WALSH) New York. May 7. Disintegration and dry-rot break lng through the surface like the blotches of an eld erly banana, the Now York Yankees relic of a onoe proud ball club, were headed weat today behind the general conviction thai the New York dynasty of pennant winning team 1 at an end. The reign wUl die with the Yankees and their demise I none too distant The first gesture of capitulation was registered yesterday when Everett Scott failed to appear in the line up for the first time since June 20, 1916, playing 1,807 consecutive games. It was said that Scott felt indisposed but that was official hokum.

The truth is that Scott no longer can get on his awn instep and the Yankee pitchers, alleged and otherwise, virtually demanded hie retirement. Scott was one of the disintegrating spots In the machine that won pennants in 1821. 1922 and 1922. Another Is furnished by the very pitchers who wore eo' loud In the alnet him. Shawkey ha become a five Inning pitcher on his good days.

Jones seems to have reached the end of his rope; Pen-nock still la able to pitch good ball but, la. hardly the star left hander of other years. Shocker beat the Senators In the season's opener, tout has been a flop in succeeding; Hoyt, though young, seems to have become prematurely passe. He will be used In a trade If Hug-gins can swing one to his advan- tage. The rest df the outfit will be more or less foolproof when Ruth returns to the lineup but Its capabilities will have a minor effect on the situation.

A ball club without pitch-era and a shortstop Is like a shirt without a front The Yanks, in brief have their points. But so has harried wire fence. Such a club will be better, of course, with Ruth's punch in the batting, pleased' to tell you. Horns-by, a greater hitter than Ruth, has not been able to keep the Cardinals In the race from year to year. The St Louis pitchers simply wouldn't have it that way.

Add to thla difficulty- a paupers eholcs between an untried minor league shortstop and a veteran who can't move fast enough to keep warm and you gave the 1926 Yankees neatly card Indexed. The worst of it is that they know they are through, as evidenced by the official attempt to wart scott out oi the lineup under cover of empty excuses. Scott himself admitted tne cause as he boarded the train last night and seemed to feel aggrieved. It seems funny that it' snouia happen the day after we won a game and I rot two hits." he said. "I don't mind the breaking of my streak.

was resigned to that anyhow. But after Tuesday's game I felt as though I was just beginning to play DBII. A 11 DBVW Bit Ull uiu inuwii And these one-see another crevice In the Yankee armor. They haven't the proper confidence In Hugglna Judgment Any club so affiliated will break fast when it starts and the Yanks are well on their way. HARRY GREB BEATS BR IHON Columbus.

WILLIS PITCHES BARONS TO WIN OVER SCRANTON Connie Mack's Recruit Curves Miners To Short End Of Score SULLIVAN HITS HOMER By BRUCE BLACKMAN Holding the Scran ton Miners to four hits two of which were of the scratch variety, Charlie Willis, lanky southpaw sent to the Barons by Connie Hack, aided materially in let ting down the Electric City aggre gation on the short end of a 6 to 1 count at the Stadium yesterday afternoon, i Willis team mates were back of him with a vengeance and brilliant play featured the contest throughout in spite of a slippery ball made so by showers, which held up the game for ten minutes, provsd a handicap. A shift In the Baron lineup, Dougherty going to center field and Leonard to right because of a temporary Injury to worked to perfection.

As a matter of fact Leonard, the utility man concerning whom many nice things were said prior to the opening of the season, hit safely on three out of four trips to the bat. He had nothing to do In the fielding line. Sullivan, Miners' left fielder, who featured in the Opener on Tuesday, was In the spot light again yesterday when he connected with one of Willis' fast ones' and the ball sailed over left field fence for the first homer of the season. Humphreys went to the mound for the visitors but lasted only five Innings. The Sharpshooters went after him strong In the fourth stanza and continued the onslaught In the fifth at the conclusion of which Kelly was rfent to the rescue.

Four hit in the fourth and two In the fifth spelled showers" for the Miners' big right hand moundsman. Kely held the Barons to two hits during the three Innings which he pitched. Gibson played an excellent game behind the bat for the Barons and had the fans on their ears In the eighth Inning when he checked what might have been a Snranton rally with a double play of the hair raising variety. With a man on second and one on third and one down Schwab came to bat. He connected with one of Willis' twisters but the ball struck In front of home plate and started down along the third base line.

Gibson was on the ball like a flash and tagging Daniel who started home from third he quickly shot the ball to second and caught Tlckey trying to get back on the bag. The play retired the side and prevented what would have been at least another tally. Pat Dougherty robbed Tlckey of a sure hit In the third Inning when he ran from right center to ths fence and gobbled up a beautiful drive that carried with it all the earmarks of a three bagger. Pat figured In three other pretty outs during the contest. In spite of ths threatening weather an encouraging crowd attended ths game and was rewarded with a brilliant exhibition.

Following today's game the Barons go on the road and return on May 20th with Williams-port as their opponents. The Official Score 8CRANT0N ah. r. h. a.

QUATRAIN COLT LOOKS LIKE BEST BET OF SEASON Three Year Old Son Of Omar Knayyam Races In Grand Fashion GOOD MONEY ENTRY By THOMA8 TEMPLE HOYNE Louisville, May 7. A derby favorite belongs in a sense to the public.

That Is the idea of Frederick Johnson, owner of the great colt Quatrain, popular choice for the Kentucky Derby. I have just had an intimate and most Interesting chat witn Mr. jonn son and feel competent to broad cast his point of view towards rac ing. It is one that wins the Instant sympathy of the public and explains, I think, some the great popularity of his derby candidate. He has had plenty of experience ith winners, too, Omar Khayyam, the great Sire of Quatrain, was owned by Mr.

Johnson and C. K. G. Bluings of Chicago, when he won the Kentucky derby In 1907. If Quatrain should win the great classic a week from next Saturday he would add a new -page to history.

He would be the first winner of a Kentucky derby whose sire before him was winner of that event "I never suspected how great i colt I had In Quatrain until last win ter, Mr. Johnson told me. He ran only one race aa a two-year-old. He won that and I thought he was a good colt but it was what, he did In New Orleans as a three-year-old. that opened my eyes to nis capability.

He had started this time as a three-year-old and won five of hla races. The only time he nas ever been beaten he finished third. 'But it is one of these race in particular, It seems to me, really shows that he has a great chance to win the derby. That was the New Orleans handicap run on February In that race he came from be hind and beat that excellent pair Leopardess and The Vintner. The public 'ought to be allowed to know all there Is to know about a derby favorite, provided the means of furnishing tnat Knowledge wont hurt the training of the horse.

That believe and that is why I favor afternoon work for a horse In train ing. Let the public see what he can do. fNext Saturday If. the Churchill Downs racing officials will grant me permission. I shall have uuatram go- the full derby distance of a mile and a quarter between races.

That will give the public an opportunity to see him work and to draw their own conclusions concerning what he can do and his fitness for ths race. 'Certainly Quatrain iooks tne Dest of the western contingent tnat seems likely to go to the post. It la with the horses tnat are ex pected to come out of the East that the bur Question is now likely to become a bigger question daily until is deeded positively by authorita tive announcement Just wnat HJast emers will come here to try for the 850,000 derby prise."
