NEW YORK. oct. 7.--Waite Hoyt
former Brooklyn schoolboy and the
youngest player ever to break into
major league baseball. achieved true
fame on the Polo Grounds yesterday
afternoon when he pitched the Yam
KEGS to a 3-to-0 victory over the
Giants in the second game of the
series for the worlds championship.
In doing this Hoyt held the oppo-
sition to two lone, widely-scattered
hits. His performance was all the
more remarkable when It is consid-
cred that up to the time Frank Frisch
toed the plate in the ninth inning
only one safety was chalked against
his record. Frisch belted the ball
viclously past Ward. Hoyt, other
wise, would have equaled the great
feat Of I'd Ruqlbach who, in 1900,
turned in the sole one-hit game on
the records Of championship play.
Peculiarly enough Reulbach attained
this height in series like the pres
ent, between home clubs. But Hoyt,
even though he lost such distinction,
eclipsed the old Cub hurler in effec-

fidence against the array of 800 hit
