“DEACON SCOTT PTCIES GAWTST0 Scott, Once a Discard and a “Has Beer”, Proved to be the " Greatest of Them All and All Fandom Pays Tribute— " Hoyt, the “Boy Wonder”, Fails to Come Up to the Expec- Prove to be the “* Times by the Crowd—Record Crowd See the Game— . Mays Against McQuillan Today. New York, Oct. 6—(By the A. P)— little more than three months ago Eelm Willlam Scott dropped out of the ball hox score and no tears—save [possibly his own—were shed. Jack had meyer ranked with those whose names laré passed on. A hard-working plodder $had just worn out and was expected to fade away. Tonight he is the most talk- ‘ed of man in the United States. He transformed himself today and be- wame an identity by pitching 112 balls, Rthat resulted in bis team, the Néw York [Gidnts, defeating the New York Yankees, 8 to 0, in the third game of the world's weries, and supplied his club with a two- wame lead in the classic, an advantage that bas been overcome only onmce in Ristory. Nearer to having been a “never was” Ahan a “has been”, in cold fact, a dis- jeard. cast-off. a useless ball player, Jack Beott was shunted out of the baseball world hy the Cincinnati club last July: He had gone to Cincinnati in a trade with Boston last December but didn't ‘make good. His arm was dead. He w: through. A creditable etory travelled among the 37,620 fans who occupied every pos- sible bit of space at the Polo Grounds today, =< Scott, after his Cincinnatl dismissal sought a chance with Manager McGraw, who needed pitchers more than any man in the baseball world. But he ”fi'a good ones. According to his story, McGraw, desperate, took a chance, and Bad Scott's arm treated by a specialist mnd it helped some—just “some”. Scott mwon eight out .of ten games dut still %e was rated low. MeGraw In Distress Today John Joseph McGraw, famed ¥or his decisiveness, instantaneous ous and permanent, led his team out on the field with Lis mind open and anx- Jous to be closed. McGraw was in dis- tress. His face betrayed his anxiety as he watched his men go through their practice. Their faces, too, mirrored their manager's feeling. Came the time for the. pitchers to get ready for some one, anyone, to “warm up”. Still McGraw pondered. With the f1- ®al time for a decision approaching dan- \gerousiy near the “Napoleon of Baseball” modded silently to Hugh McQuillan to *warm up”. Word was sent to the press Box that the assignment had been made Bnd the wires buzzed. Temporarily reliev- #d, the manager watcned his selection Bwirl a few balls. But only for a mo- Jment. MeGraw Makes His Cholee McGraw didn't like McQuillan's form. He’ turned to Scott, sitting ‘on the bench and with the air/of a man who ts vesting all his hopes on a broken reed, ordered h'm to replace McQuillan. It was almost w recedented for a man- eger to change his choice in so im- portant & matter, at such a time. Everyone knew that Waite Hoyt, the “boy wonder”, who won two out of three games from the Giants in the 1921 series, striking out 13 men, allowing only 18 hits, and yielding only two runs, both wnearned, was tp pitch for the Yankees. One fan remarked that McGraw virtaal- }y was conceding the game, believing Hoyt unbéatable, and had decided not to throw away a man who might win tomorrow. Jack Scott's record is In the books mow. It says there that the cast-off's pitching was so marvelous that the Gi- ant; eutfislders only made six put-outs ~—that the Yankees were so thoroughly subdued that eighteen out of their twen- ty four outs were of the easy infield wariety. Only four hits were made by the. Yankees, with their touted “mur- derers’ row”, and only six times did they get a man on first, On the mound, facing 40,000 pairs of eritical eyes, listening to the blasts of the mighty shoyts, Seott was the in- esrnation of earnestness, faith and hope, but he never smiled, He remained in- scrutably calm and cool. i Bmith Praises Scott Jack Scott combined his head and Ms Bgeing right \rm. today—and he follow- HEAR WORLD'S SERIES GAMES BY MEGAPHONE As Bas been the custom for many years the detailed play of each game of the World's series will be an- nounced by megaphone from the Bulletin Office window 'on ,Frank- lin street on each aftermoon.

A. et Sl L GAME CALLED AT 3P. M. Result of World Series Game Received a} the Grounds ed orders. Earl Smith, the catcher, said afterward that-every time he called for a high pitch, a high onme came. Not once, he said, aid Scott fail. He used only a curse but he had such remarka- ble control that always it went where Smith, whose knowledge of the Yankee batters and discerning judgment can- not be overladded ordered. McGraw was voluble in his pralss of Scott and Miller Huggins, the beaten and crestfallen mentor of the Yankees, was not remiss. Though Scott's marvelous pitching stood out today—as only the victory of the “under dog” can—two other inci- dents furnished material for the crowd, a better-tempered and more apprecia- tive gathering than y&terday. Babe Is Booed Babe Ruth, from whom so much 18 expected and so little comes, almost got into the headlines through a tilt with Heinle Groh, the Giants’ third baseman. in a play in the fourth inning, Ruth tried to go from first to third when Frisch booted Meusel's hit. Frisch whipped the ball to third and Heinie was waithg for Ruth. Caught under full headway, - Ruth bumped into Groh, who tagged him and feil from the impact. Groh jumg:d up, shouting and drew back his fist. He didn't strike, however, and Umpire Hildebrand stepped between the two. Babe came to the dug-out in a roar of boos and a faint mingling of gp- plause—maybe the applause was for Groh.' It was repeated when Ruth came to bat, but the cheers and clap- pihg were stronger, 8o it must have been for him. The next time he crossed the 1d , he stopped Groh and tried to ex- piain what happened, but Groh refused to be appeased in the heat of the mo- ment. £ Ward's Error Tostly Ward's boot of Bancroft's bounded paved the way for the,twe-run lead ac- quired by the Giants in the third inn- ing and as it turngd out iffey were more than enough to Win, as Secott turned back the Yankees inning after inning with baffling cunning and relentless cou- rage, A third tally was pounded in off Hoyt in the seventh, but It was not needed. Hoyt was threatened in both the first and second innings, before the Giants broke through. Ward ninred a rally in ‘e first, grabbing Meusel's hdt drive toward right and doubling Frisch at first after Groh and the Fordham flash had singled. Young and Cunningham singled in the second, but Pep was caught by Bob Meusel's accurate throw, trying to stretch his single, and Cunningham was forced by Far] Smith for the third out. Jack Scott started the Yankee down- fall: in the third with a single to’center Bancroft hit sharply ‘to Ward and when the second sacker kicked the ball into left field, Scott raced to third and Ban- croft pulled up at second. Groh bounc- ed one to Hoyt who caught Scott off third, Dugan taking the throw and run- ning down -the pitcher. Bancroft, who had gotten to third on the play, scor- ed on Frisch’s sacrifice hoist to Witt in deep center. Groh advanced a base and came home on Irish Myusel's wallop to right. Young forced Meusel to end the inning. _The Third Giant Run Bancroft scored the third run In the seventh, two were out and Hoyt had the Giant captain “in the hole” with two strikes and one ball but walked him with three wide ones, Groh hit the first ball pitched to right field, on a hit and run play, and Bancroft easily reached third, from where he scored on Frisch's line single to ‘right. Ward ended the rally by tossing ont Irish Meusel Hoyt is Ineffective Hoyt was never a puzzle. With the top end of the Giant order again fead- ing the attack, the youthful Yanjcee twirler was hit hard throughout the sev- en innings he worked. The Giants col- lected two hits off his delivery in each of the five innings. The fifth was the only hitless inning for the winners. Sam Jones pitched the eighth after Frank Baker had batted for Hoyt. He retirea the side after Young had singled for his third hit and Cunningham walked. The Yankees, on the other hand, threatened only once, in the seventh, but it was a golden opportunity they miss- ed. With Pipp out, Bob Meusel bound- ed an infield hit over Scott's head ana Schang walloped the first ball down the right field foul line for a double, Meu- sel holding third. It was the game's: erisis for Scott. The Giant infleld parlayed with the pitcher and Coach Hughey Jennings came from the dugout with instructions, The outlook was even more dubious with El- mer Smith, a dangerous hitter, batting in place of Ward. But with the count three and one, Smith let a second shoot by and then missed the third one. hopes grounding out to Bancroft. The Yankees got but two hits off Scott in the other eight innings, one in the second by Pipp, who also stole sec- ond, and another in the sixth by Hoyt. Both were the first to face Scott, who quickly retired the next three batters each ime. Witt, who walked in the third, and Ruth, who was hit by a.pitched ball in the fourth, were the only other Yan- kees to reach base. Whitey, napping off first base, was caught by Earl Smith’s quick toss to Kelly, and the first “bone” play of the series wac automatically re- ¢qrded. The Babe was cut down at third when he crashed into Groh in taying to get an extra base on Frisch's fumble of Bob Meusel's grounder. Giants Excell in the Field In the other departments of the game the Giants excelled in fielding, although there was little of the spectacular va- riety. Groh's running catch of Scott's foul, near the Yankee dugout, in the fifth, and Bancroft's spear of Pipp's hot grounder over sccond base, in the ninth, were outstanding. The Giants, with two victorles and no defeats, now hold a formidable ad- vantage over their rivals. Their sufre- macy in pitching, generalship, and: all- round defansive and offensive swork, while especially clear-cut today, has been outstanding in the entire series to date. A Btartling Reversal Few more startling reversals of form have been recorded in the fortunes of rival twirling staffs. Huggins, with five stars to rely on, was conceded an overwhelming advantage, McGraw, on the other hand, with a staff riddled and ineffective by a hard .campaign, faced a dubious outlook with the chance that one or more of his moundsmen might come through. That they did come through—Neht and Barnes and’ Scott— and displayed more pitching skill, re- sourcefulness and courage than .Bush, Shawkey and Hoyt, is the sensation of the series.

Horace Ford |hear the results of the world series con- of the Boston Braves, star shortstop, a test. cles on the baseball sityation with ref- erence to the reported resignation of Coach Bermie Tommers, I§= Blossom said: “The difficulties In the Yale baseball camp have been satisfactorily settled. Captain Eddy, who at first opposed the return of Coach A. E. B. Tommers, has agreed to remain as captain and give Tommers his full support and co-opera- tion. Coach Tommers on the other hand, has agreed to return as coach at a re- duced salary inasmuch as!his. services as basketball coach are no longer re- quired. “It has been stated in the newspapers that Coach Tommers was dismissed. He ‘was not dismissed nor was his resigna- tion forced at any time. He was ac- quainted with the conditions that exijsted at the time, namely, that next year's captain preferred a coach with more Dbaseball experience, that this preference was shared by others, and that the igmimne director of athletics felt at | that time that a more permanent and | lasting baseball policy should be ddopt- €d with a more experienced profession- al, coach at the head than under the past system. Facing these conditions Tomimers felt it wise to resign. “Tommers and many Yale baseball au- thorities later felt that, in view of his record last season coupled with the fact that he was a Yale graduate in good standing, should count more in his fa- vor than the fact of his limited base- ball experience. It was finally decid- led that, if Captain Eddy would concur this settlement would be for the best interests of Yale baseball. Captain Eddy showed his good tfudgment and his qual- ities as a good Yale man by consenting to withdraw his objections for the sake of harmony. There consequently exists no longer between the captain and the coach anything but the best spirit of harmony and co-operation.” Mr. Blossom also referred to the Yale track situation and the reports that Head Coach John Mack and his assistant, Bil- Iy Queal, were to be replaced and said, “the graduate director of athletics wishes most emphatically to state that no one in connection wiih Yale track desires the replacement of Coaches Mack and | Queal.” THE SENATOR SETS NEW RECOED FOR 2 YEAR OLDS Lexington, Ky..

HAGEN BEATS SARAZEN IN FIRST HALF OF MATCH Pittsburgh, Pa., Ost—(By the A. P.)— The magic in the putting iron of Wal- ter Hagen was two holes more powerful today than the golf-wizardry of Eugens Sarazen—the boy monarch of American professionals. The first half of their 72 Ispecial match was witnessed by the greatest crowd that ever trod the course at Oak- mont and the two champlons will start the final 36 holes tomorrow on the Westchester-Baltimore course at Rye, N. Y., with Hagen two up. This world’s series between Hagen, holder of the British open crown, and the 21-year-old Pittsburgh professional champion. was responsible for scenes never before witnessed on the Oakmont course. Sarazen fougilt an up-hill bat- tle all day chiefly because his putting was erratic but the great gallery cheer- ed him untfl the 36th hole was played fe. MOELEY WHIPS PALITZ TWICE AND BILLY MOEAN ONCE' Mike Morley of Hartford earned two an cut decisions over K. O. Palitz of 'w London and one over Referee Billy Moran at the Lyceum theatre in New London on Friday evening, according to those who were at the ringside. Mor- ley and Palitz' fought the star bout on the card of the National Athletic club and it was one of the best fights of the season but the decision of Referee Billy Moran was terrible. Morley led the fighting in the first eight rounds and gave Palitz a terrific beating but in the last four rounds Pal- itz came back strong and clearly out- pointed the Hartford lad. As the tap of the final gong sounded Moran raised Pal- iitz’ hand and then the fun began. ihe best Palitz could have hoped for was {a draw but to get a win out of it was ridiculous and absurd. Morley did not make much of a fuss but as Referee Moran came down out of the ring Morley let drive a haymak- er but Moran ducked. Palitz see- ing his friend, (advisedly) in strouble took a swing at his recent opponent and the second bout of the evening was on. Morley carried the fight to Palitz and all the New Londoner could was cover up and retreat to the protection of four husky cops who stepped in and escort- ed Morley to his dressing room. A large crowd waited for Moran outside the thea- tre but the police dispersed them be- fore there was more trouble. It is a pity that e first exhibition in New London in some time should have ended in such a disgraceful man- ner. It is this kind of a thing that dis- gusts the public with the fight game. Referees who do not know the game or who are biased in their opinion are a disgrace and should be barred from any ring. of Par for the course Is 74. Gene and Walter shot the 36 holes in 150 each. Both champions have beaten par at Oak- mont many times but-it is dopbtful whether the gallery would have been thrilled more frequently if the medal scores had been lower. Sarazen surprised many of his sup- porters by driving as effectively as Ha- gen. King Gene often took spectacu- lar chances to get on the green but when he and King Walter had to settle the issue with their putters, the British op- en_champion invariably had the edge. When the match was finished, the smiling_ Hagen received an ovation but as Sarazen walked to the clubhouse, there were cries: L "You'll come back tomorrow—Gene old boy.” ; Sarazen and Hagen left for New York tonight. The course at Rye is familiar to both players. It is only a short distance from the childhood home of Sarazen, who was a caddle there four year ago. | THREE HORSES REPEAT AT DANBURY FAIR Danbury, Conn, Ock 6—The Great Marie, Frisco Belle and the Moon Mas- ter each won their second race of the week at the Danbury fair today. A crowd estimated at 25,000 attended the races. The 2:30 trot and the 2:22 pace were run in two divisions each because of BROWN EXPECTS A TOUGH PROPOSITION IN COLBY Providence, Oct. 6—Brown expects that Colby will prove tougher game tomorrow than Rhode Island State did a week ago and the coaches have two teams ready for action. With a rookie eleven the Maine men drew first blood in last year’s tussle and only a brilliant rally by the Brown backfield. in the final mimutes put the Bears on top by a 12-7 score. Colby made Boston university step last Saturday to tie at 3-all. If the Brown ends are ‘as’ weak against the visitors tomorrow as they were in the Rhode Island State game, the chances are good for a Colby score. Through the week the coaches have been working heroically to bolster up the wings! Sayward, Sheldon, Newbauer, and Reynolds have received special attention and Monk, the light- est man on the squad, has also come in for his share of drilling. Out of these five there is some hope of finding two {wing men capable of measuring up to tthe Test of the Brown line.,If the dise covery is made against Colby, the Bear supporters will look forward to games with Syracuse and Lehigh in the next two weeks Wwith more confidence than they are now showing. . The only certainties in tomorrow’s line- up are Capt. Gulian at right tackle, Eck- stein at centre, Jim Barrett, guard, and Eisenberg, Adams, Faulkner and Baasche in the backfield. Reggie Brown has .a second set of backs to send in at any time and also Ferry, the team’'s most promising drop kicker. % ——— The worrled expressiori on the fice of the Bulletin announcer was due to the fact that he is a Yankee stpporter but yesterday contributed -to jeld.

McGraw, considered the best judge of pitching ability in baseball,: who picked up Scott, a cast-off, in mid-season, said he knew the ‘“Deacon’ to marvel at. did-Scott fail to put the ball where- he wanted it.

E. F. SPORT NOTES A new World's Serles hero broke into the hall of fame yesterday. He was Jack Scott who let the Yanks down with only four hits and not the semblance of a run ‘Waite Hoyt, “the boy wonder”, was no puzzle to the hard Hitting Giants and he was hauled from the box to al- low Sam Jones to finish the battle. Ross Young led the Giant‘attack with three safe hits out of four times at bat- with Heinie Groh and Frankie Frisch tied with two each. The fans who saw yesterday's game had no complaint abqut sekinz a *~ht to the finish—the finish of the Yanke® hopes. The name Smith must be a hoodoo for both Yanks and Giants for in the past three games a Smith has been sent in 2s a pinch-hitter and failed.
