Scott Saves Day
Scott, who had rushed over to see
what the trouble was when it appeared
the play would be close, darted after
the ball, bounced upon it and set him
self for throw that had Pick doomed
the moment he made his belated dash
He had saved the Boston Beans for the
'steenth time of the series, though the
climax fairly knocked the props out Of
the civic bugs.
The other dire break against Vaughn
IS best described in an account of the
fruitful fourth, when Boston did all its
scoring. Jim himself was directly to
blame, if blame could be attached to the
incident. To start the fourth Vaughn
Whitfield Strunk on three pitched balls.
He had Whiteman in the hole when he
tried a curve ball on him. The pitch
batter to dodge.
Whiteman tried to duck, but the
pitch hit him in the ribs, and of course
he got his base. Stuffy McInnis singled
to left field. Wally Schang hit to the
same spot, scoring Whiteman.
With Scott, beautiful bunter, up.
the Cubs anticipated Boston would at
tempt the "squeeze," and laid their
plans accordingly. Killifer covered his
station at the plate and Vaughn felded
the expected bunt.
Jim was on top of the plate with the
pitch, smeared the bunt on the first hop
and would have had the dashing Nc
lnns mile at the plate if he could
only have stabbed the twisting pellet
firmly the first time. But the ball al
most squirmed out of his fingers, and
as he made second stab for it Big
Jim's spikes slipped. He almost came
a cropper, lost his balance and the
chance to head off the winning run.
Thomas singled sharply to right, but
Flack came in for iris Speaker pick
up and by wonderful throw headed
Schang at the plate. This was one Of
the prettiest plays of the series. A
moment later Mays ended the rally
with low, rifle-like drive to centre
field on which Paskert made a pretty
shoestring catch.
Now, that fourth inning tells the
sum total of damage against Vaughn
that the victorious Sox were able to
inflict during the exciting afternoon,
