Everett Scott, Yankee shortstop, celebrated his 1 000th consecutive league game with a .750 batting mark but New York fell 3 0 to the Bushmen. Walter Johnson pitched strong for the Bushmen as Ruth and Pipp connected early, while Scott’s milestone day drew national honors.

In St Annes England on May 2 AP the top 100 professionals began the £1000 event. James O Kenden Rain set a course record with 34 out and 34 in total 68. Edward Ray shot 70 to place second Abe Mitchell 71 and George Duncan 75, with bookmakers losing about $500 on the upset.
The Washington Nationals capitalized on early and late chances to rally past the Yankees. Bob Shawker toiled for the visitors and allowed five hits with one run charged. Washington pushed across runs in the fourth and sixth, aided by misplays and aggressive baserunning, while Ruth and Pipp sparked New York’s late threats before tight eighth inning defense sealed the game.
The article recalls Scott earning praise for a world of punishment as he went through a game with two infielder plays and three at bats resulting in a hit and two outs. It notes ceremonial style, a 1,000 game medal sparkle, Denby enjoying peanuts, and Bushmen’s double plays while the Nationals looked off on bases due to limited practice.
The report describes Shawkey’s deep shortfielding and Rice’s offensive showing with a single double and a walk in four trips. Ruth drew two walks and struck out once as the Nationals offense faced a strong defensive effort and erratic baserunning.
In Sandwich England on May 2 Dr O F Willing of Portland Oregon led American golfers with a 74 as the St George's Cup event opened. Captain Bob Gardner was second with 75 and Francis Ouimet tied for third with 76, while Michael Scott Roger Wethered also posted 76 and George Rotan was tenth with 79.
Leading scorer Gardiner finished with a 43 on the back nine and 86 total out, rallying from a tough start to place second. He battled hard, sinking a 40-foot birdie putt and a 20-foot putt to key his late surge, while Francia and Sweetzer posted mixed rounds as the field prepared for the final 14 holes.
