Heinle and his new bat. Heinie Groh, demon shortstop of the Cinci Reds and one of the best little run-getters in the business, has designed a new-fangled bat which he says will bring the club and him more runs this year. Instead of being tapered from the large end gradually to the handle end, Heinie'3 bat holds one size, 8 inches circumference, for a distance of fifteen inches from the business end. Then it is tapered quickly down to the handle size of 3 inches. Heinie says the bat gives him more hitting surface and a wider range for gripping. When Heinie hold his new bat in his freak style it's hard to tell what the pitchers and infielders think.

SMASHED RECORDS EXPECTED AT PENN. (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, May 1. Although the heavy rain which marred the last half of the opening day's program of the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival continued throughout the night the forecast was for fair weather today and it was hoped that when the games start the cinder path and
field will have dried out sufficiently
to make possible, expected record breaking performances. The cream of American college athletes were entered in today's events and this, together with the presence of the Oxford-Cambridge stars, created unprecedented interest in the games. Virtually all the leading colleges and universities in this country were represented In one or more of the 41 events on the- closingflay's""program and it was freely predicted" that with favorable weather a number of new records, both on the track and field, would be hung up. Interest centered in the two mile college relay championship of America in which the Oxford-Cambridge runners met the fastest half milers in the United States. Among them were the Iowa state quartet, which covered the distance within one-fifth of a second of the world's record last Saturday at Des Moines; Yale, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania State and Massachusetts Tech.

Everett Scott.
By NORMAN E. BROWN. Fred Luderus' enviable record of participation in ":!3 games, hung up when lie played in the final game of tho 1919 season witli the Phillies, didn't stand long. For Kverett Scott, dashing sdiortstop of the Red Sox, broke it recently when ho took his place for his 534th straight contest with the Beaneathers. And in view of Feoffs spectacular playing and his youth lie ought to add many more games to that record, barring accidents. Luderus' string was broken when Manager Gavvy Cravath failed to put him on first in the opener this year. Bluffton, Ind., will claim a lion's -iflre in glory attached to Scott's feat, for that's where he was born, Nov. 19, ls92. Ho broke into baseball in 1909 with tho Kokomo team In the Northern Indiana League, playing later that Ff-ason with Fairmount. The following reason he joined the Youngstown tram nnd was grabbed off by Boston in 191:!. the Sox releasing him under option to St. Paul. The next season lie was back with the Boston outfit nnd lias been their regular sliortfielder ever since. Baseball men attribute Scott's wonderful fielding partly to the marvelous pair of hands he possesses. They are not. extraordinarily large, but are sure death to everything hit within a few miles of him. Scott played the first game of his unbroken string June 20, 191G.

His Measurement General Wood belongs to no state or section. It happens tu was born amid the Cape Cod folk of Massachusetts, but is at home anywhere in America New Mexico as much as in New York, in South Carolina as much as in Illinois. He is big enough to be seen across the continent, and is not called on to ask for support as a favorite son. General Wood has vision that instinctive quality by which some men sense the future and i's problems. New York Tribune.
"Steady is the Watchword" Leonard Wood's Message to th nation. And you know what he means when he says it!
GOVERNMENT BY AMERICANS
"The country is going to be run by Americans, cost what it may. It does not make any difference what the cost is. It is going to be run on a basis of government under the constitution, with due respect for law and order, with a recognition of the supremacy of the law, the rights of property, the rights of individual, the rights of mankind. No class legislation, no autocracy, either of wealth, labor or power, but a real democracy and a spirit of co-operation and helpfulness." Leonard Wood's Boston Address
More Power To Him "General Wood, more power to you. Your dictum against class legislation, whether of wealth, or of labor or of power does credit to you because it is what every true American citizen wants justice for all and special privileges for none. Chicago Unionist, Illinois" leading journal of organized labor.
