Tho Hied four Include Tommy Mc-Intyre, the former star of the Bos Deacon Scott Still Doing Business at The Same Old Stand By THOMAS HOLMES. THE time will come possibly a decade or so from now when somebody will utter a prediction to the effect that Everett Scott Is about through as a big league shortstop and that prediction will be borne out by subseiiuent facts.

The good old Deacon, who is an exceedingly important cog in the inner defense of tho New York. Yankees, is but human. Some day, somehow, he Is due to slip oufof the regular lineup, as quietly and as unostentatiously as he slipped in. For'scvernl years now the boys have been saying in etect that Scotty was a good fellow when he had it. Last winter the refrain that a younger, faster man would play short for the Yankees this season was louder und more Insistent than ever.

But glance at the box scores from the South and every day you will see Scott's name In the seventh place of the Hugglns batting order. And that long consecutive game record that Scotty holds is still uncompleted. At the end of the 1924 season the Deacon had played 1,291 consecutive games.

Two boys dominated the show Murray Levlne, the fast bantam of the Bcechers Chib and BUly Murphy of the Clark House.

Levlne took the limelight when he fcught Tommy Palnco to a. standstill in three rounds, the fastest fight of the night. Billy found his way to the hearts of the fans when he came back in the second found to score the only clean kayo of the show, Johnny Searles being the victim. Murphy, who knews little about the game except that he. is Irish and wants to fight, brought the house down by slugging with Sol Iacone for three fast sessions.

Sol was far the better, but Murphy did not know wlicn he was beaten, coming back for more, and even forcing the Issue when nearly out cn his feet. Iacone was clearly the better, but Murphy's showing was so good that the Judges disagreed. Referee Goldberg deciding the bout in lacone's favor. Summaries. PltKLlMINAJlIKS.

BURLEIGH, in a talk with The Eagle correspondent, reiterated his determination to make a final attempt to prove to President Eb-bets that he was entitled to 813,000. At the same time, he expressed his intention of getting into shape Ing the remainder of the trip so that the Brooklyn owners will have no reprisals on that score. As Burleigh reported with only a slight weightiness around the Jr.w, he has already worked part of the surplus avoirdupois off by his chatter. Meanwhile, he has drawn down $300 for recommending Charley Schwartz as a partial salve for his failure to secure that extra thousand. Burleigh is quite a business man.

Babe Ruth may rock the wdtid. That game in Birmingham yestei'-day was one of those incidents in which the winning club had all the breaks. Andy Rush looked like an ace for two innings. Then his 'escutcheon was outwardly besmirched, though to those on the Inside he looked as capable as ever. He had two strikes on both Ruth and Aleusel before those two sluggers poled successive homers over the right field fence.

In fact, Andy had Meusel struck out. but the ordinarily adhesive Zack Taylor muffed a foul third strike. Eight Safeties Net flight Runs. THE rest of the inning was like the consistent artillery fire so often read about in war times. Four-.

THE Superbas had a batting flurry at the expense of Waite Hoyt In their half of the third, four hits and two passes netting four runs.

Taylor walked to start the half and Cox, batting for Rush, drove a clean double to center, Taylor romping home. Mitchell's single scored Cox. Wheat walked and hits by Fournier and Brown added two more runs to the Brooklyn tally. Griffith ended the rally by hitting into a double play. The remainder of the Brooklyn attack was weak, the additional run coming In tho eighth off Urban Shocker on Fournler's double.

Two men were out when Ruth singled in that chapter. Second Homer For Babe Rulli. THE Babe his second homer off Roberts in the seventh with nobody on.

Lefty Williams pitched the last two innings for Brooklyn snd made a good impression. Only seven batters faced him, Wanninger getting a single- Ruth was the swatting king of old, with two homers, a double and single in five times at bat. A freak play, which Uncle Robbie declared he had never seen before in his 40-odd years as player and manager, robbed Johnny Mitchell of a hit and Brooklyn of a run In the first inning. High had led off with a slashlne double. Mitchell followed with a liner over Hoyt's head that was bound for center field.

HEAVY 1.KOX.MIDS BIRTHDAY Kennv Leonard, who has volun lurlly relinquished his title of world's litrhtwctuht champion, will enter ton College nine. Harold Anderson, a recrtilt shortstop, picked up from the Mississippi Valley "Bibs" Raymond, a former crack outtlelder of the Paterson Silk Sox, and Ben Bedford, an outfielder from Corsicana, Texas.

Bedford goes to rival was Donle Bush, the veteran Detroit Tiger. Bush and Scott were perhaps equally good, equally dependable. Both committed errors few and far between. But there was a radical difference in the playing of the two men. Bush was faster and covered more ground.

He executed more sparkling pickups and was slightly surer on ground balls than Scott. When Bush was charged with an error, nine times out of ten it as because of a poor throw, Scott could not cover the ground that Donle did and he fumbled often- er. But he seldom threw badly. Bush as he grew older lost his speed and quickly dropped out ot the big leagues. Scott has lost much of his peV and dash but he still remains a -regular on a pennant-contending team.

His arm is good enough to cover a multitude of sins in the way of slowness. Srotty Never Fully Appreciated. EVERETT SCOTT never got all the bouquets that should have come his way. Ho is afflicted with lack of color and an athlete afflicted with lack of color seldom does receive all that is coming to him in the way of applause. Scotty's consecutive game record stands by itself.

No one has ever come near his remarkable feat of playing in almost 1,300 consecutive big league contests. Moreover, he has been a greut shortstop and still is a good one. Scott is not bowlegged, his cap never comes off when he goes after a ball, he goes about his business In a quiet, unassuming way and never gets Into troublu on or cff tho ball field So the Deacon's name seldom gets into the headlines. But Everett Scott is still the reg ular shortstop of the Yankees and the odds lay that he wilt continue to be the regular shortstop for some time to come.

The Long Island boy earned the right to meet the French star in the round before the semi-final by defeating W. Dickson Cunningham in the hardest fought and most interesting match of tho tournament thus far, yesterday, at the 7th Regl-mont armory, Manhattan, by 6 0, 67, 108. Kynaston's show of courage, stamina and ability to wage an uphill tight won the applause of tho gallery on many occasions, and a real battled of tho racquets la sure to ensuo In the meeting today. Kynaston proved his mettle in tho match yesterday when the score came to set and point against htm on two occasions.

Turns Tables on Kynaston, After taking the first set with the greatest ease, Kynaston ran Into a rally by Cunningham in the second. With the score 2 in Kynaston's favor, Cunningham broke through service and made it three-all. From then on each alternated in taking games until the ninth, which Cunningham took on his opponent's serv. Ice, making tho score 5 4 in his favor.

Kynaston dropped the last game on his own service and with it the set, 7 5. The last set was filled with action, no fewer than 10 of the 18 games going to deuce. In at least four of these Kynaston, with the count 40 love against him, came up to tho advantago point and took the game. Cunningham played a slightly steadier game than the winner, but he wan not able to obtain sufficient distance on his drives, especially toward the end of the game, which permitted Kynaston to advance on the net and shoot for the corners.

HER VlGTDRY before some incident, perhaps Jury, perhaps old age, forces the veteran lnflelder to take a rest. Muggins Has Faith in Scott's Ability. HUOGIN'S never did pay much attention to the insistent propaganda to tho effect that Scott was practically" that the Yan kees needed reinforcing at the short stop position. The half-pint manager of tho Yan kees did not bother his head over the lugubrious muttering because he knows that Everett Scott is still one of the best shortstops in the game.

They say that Scott has slipped back, that he cannot cover ground as he did five years ago. They are right. Scott has gone back. He is getting along in years us ball players go, and age has taken some ot tne spring from his legs. But Everett Scott is a better short stop than half of the fastest, flashier, younger players that cover that position In the big loagues today.

For one thing, Scott has experi ence, which means a lot. tor another, he Is never sick, never Injured and the club never is without his valuable services. That Isn't all. Wave experience and reliability aside and Scott still Is a good shortstop. Watch That Deadly Throwing Arm.

WHEN the Yankees come north, watch Scott In action. Watch him start after a ground ball and the sure decisive manner in which he gobbles it up. But above all, wutch how he geta the ball away. And how the hall travels as straight a plumt line into Wally Finn waiting mitt. That a where Scott has it on tYioae younger, faster, flashier players.

While other shortstops are recovering from the stop and getting set for the throw, Scott haB let the ball go and Is trotting back to his position. Other shortstops cover more ground. Consequently they accept chances that' Scott never gets near. But when the Deacon can reach a ball hit in his direction, the putout Is as good as made. Tho veteran's throwing arm Is a hywoi among the players.

He bus tlfe deadliest whip in captivity, perhaps the deadliest throwing arm possessed by an inllelder since baseball began. Accurate Tin-owing Always Scott's Ilest Asset. THERE have been stronger throwing arms, perhaps, but never one more accurate. On balls hit to the shortstop, AVally Pipp could play first base sitting in a rocking chair. A few years ago, when Scott was at his best, his accurate throwing wag his one best asset.

Naturally being able to oover more ground those days, Scott accepted moro chances und was a better, more valuable shortstop. But it wus always Mb whip that stood out as his greatest asset, ubove his other admirable defensive talents. Tho Deacon developed his arm to Its prosent state of lie always spoclaliisod In throwing. To him, getting the ball away, quickly and accurately, has been fully as Important as cutting oft tho prospective hit. He has often been asked why he stands ubove nil other shortstops In this particular.

His invariable answer modest and logical. Tn nrs opinion, the average player does nut attach enough importance to throwing across the Infield. Tho average athlete Is prone to consider his work practically over as bo grabs the bull. Hut when Scott picks up a grounder his work In Just begun. Th.

're is Mill that peg to first base and lint peg invariably could not bn bettor executed If the veteran had shot the bull Out of a rifle barrel. Kvrivtt Scott a i nl Donio Iluali.
