—— +4 - Before Series Opened It Looked as If Nehf Was McGraw’s Only Pitcher. By Robert tine HERE \s a new baseball hero a developed in every World's Series. This year it 1s Jack Scott, the new Giant pitcher. Scott, only last year a derelict on the base- ball sea, sbut out the Yanks with flawless pitching that outclassed any- thing seen at the Polo Grounds since the series began, If the Giants win the champion- ship, which now looks very likely, it will be largely because of Jacl Scott and the fact that somewhere in John MoGraw’s tough old heart there is a soft streak of sentiment. The Yanks were favorites in the beginning be- cause they had five star pitchers, and it was supposed that the Giants had only one, in the person of Nehf. But there was Jack Scott, unknown Thursday and. famous to-day. Jack Béott, who made the faltering Yanks eat out of his hand and sent them to defeat to the tune of a three to zero score. : Not to go back too far into Jack Scott's history, his career up to this year in minors or the big league has not brought the limelight hovering around his name. In 1921 he was with Boston, where he pitched twen- ty-eight games, winning fifteen and losing thirteeu. Fair, but not sensa- tional, During the winter Boston traded Scott to Cincinnati, and in the spring he was taken down South with the team on the annual training trip. Here it developed that Scott was suf- fering from strained lgaments in his pitching arm, If there ts one thing that @ ball club has less use for than anything clse it is a pitcher with 4 dead wing. ‘The doctors reported Scott's case hopeless. No uge keep- ing a baseball corpse on the payroll. Cincinnati released him uncondition- ally. The report that Scott had no pitching arm trickled out through the leagues. Nobody wanted him. He was a veteran, crippled, finished. He might as well go out, a6 famous Amos Rusie did when his salary whtp buckled, and pile lumber for a dollar and a half a day. Wandering to New York. Jack Scott saw John McGraw and asked to be al- lowed to practice at the Polo Grounds. McGraw listened sympathetically and consented. Scott went to work, alone, unaided, friendless, patiently trying to get his arm back. McGraw, watching him day after day, admired his grit. McGraw always had a fondness for any man who wouldn't quit, Also the Giants were badly in need of pitchers. So on McGraw's suggestion the club engaged the best doctors available to examine Scott's arm and see if any- thing could be done. The report was favorable and the club spent $5,000 in treatments. Scott's arm improved so rapidly that near the end of the GREAT Hero Is Stranger Than HOEVER said “Truth is stranger than fiction’ hit the Fiction. nail on the head all right when you consider the story of John William Scott,®biggest hero of the World's Series so far. Scott was given the ‘‘gate’’ at Cincinnati by such a shrewd manager as Mat Moran this season. His right arm was sald to be gone forever, Scott went vo his farm, resigned to the verdict of the 5 Fates that willed that he was of no more value to a baseball club, Hadn't every major league organization waived claim on him. He tried farming for a while, but he couldn't Ww make it & go, so he headed for s Xork and the Polo Grounds Poott asked Manager permission to warm up McGraw i every morn at Lome, “How are you little Napoleon, who hu asked <4 If Giants Win Series They Owe It to Scott, Declares Robert Edgren pan Aes .

He won eight games out of ten. McGraw signed him on as a regular. The high spot in yesterday's game came in the seventh inning. The Glants had scored two rune early in the afternoon and were safely defend- ing thetr lead, the Yanks playing a spotty ume, listless qt times and at tinies waking up for a spurt. In the seventh Pipp singled and Schang cracked out a two-bagger, advancing Pipp to third. ‘There was confusion and delay. and finally Elmer Smith, the pinch hitter, trotted out to bring in a couple of runs, and if possible crack one over Into the bleachers for a homer and a lead. And Scott calmly curled them over the plate, one, two, three, and made Smith fan out As for what Jack Scott did to Babe Ruth, shooting them at Babe's legs or putting them over so that mighty Babe could get nothing better than a pop-up when he didn’t slam the empty air—that alone wa's worth the price of, admission, (Copyright, 1922, by Robert Wdgren.)
