Good Man in a Pinch.

At bat Scot has beer generally re-
earded as weak hitter. While Scott
has never seriously threatened the
500 mark as a batsman, yet he is
good man to be up in a pinch. My
idea of worthwhile batsman is not
the fellow who can hit safely when
nothing is at stake. when the bases
are empty. when the pitcher is easing
up, but rather the fellow prone to
come through with the timely swat
when couple of men are on, and
W hen a base hit nearly means the ball
game. For my part. / will take the
fellow who hits around .225, but is
always eager to come up in the pinch,
in preference to the 800 swatter. who
appears scared when much depends
on his efforts. Scott is of greater
value 8 batsman than he is given
credit for, because it is in the pinch
that he is at his best.
Scott didn't boast of a healthy bat
ting average last year, and perhaps
it is exaggeration for, me to make
such a statement, but it seemed to me
that any time Scott made a base hit
in games in which 1 officiated with
Boston last year said base hit always
sent one or more runs across the
plate I know that in at least half
dozen cases in 1918 / have seen pitch
ers pass up some other batsman to
