New York, Oct. s-(By the A. P.l- \ little more than three months ago John William Scott dropped out of the baseball box score and no tears-save possibly his own-wePe shed. Jack had never ranked with those whose names are 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- came an Identity by pitching 112 balls, that resulted in his team, the New York Giants, defeating the New York Yankees, a to o. in the third game of the worlds series, and supplied his club with two- game lead in the classic, an advantage that has been overcome only once in history.
 Nearer to having been ''never was' than a has been", in cold fact, dis card. cast-off. a useless ball player, Jack Scott was shunted out of the baseball world by 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 was through.

 dismissal sought chance with Manager .McGraw. who needed pitchers more than any man in the baseball world. But he needed good ones. According to his story. McGraw, desperate, took 8 chance, and had Scott's arm treated by specialist and 1t helped some-iust "some". Scott won eight out of ten games but still he was rated low.
 McGraw in Distress
 Today John Joseph McGraw, famed For his decisiveness, instantaneous GUS and permanent, led his team out on ths field with his mind open and anx- Ious to be closed. McGraw was in dis tress.

 Everyone knew that Waite Hoyt the ~boy wonder. who won two out of three games from the Giants in the 1921 series, striking out IS men, allowing only IS hits. and yielding only two runs, both unearned,' was to pitch for the Yankees. One fan remarked that McGraw virtual fy was conceding the game. believing Hoyt unbeatable, and had decided not fo throw away a man who might win tomorrow.
 Jack Scott's record is in the books now. It says there that the cast-off' S pitching was so marvellous that the Gi- ant outfielders only made six put-outs that the Yankees were so thoroughly gubdued that eighteen out of their twen- ty four outs were of the easy infield variety. Only four hits were made by Inc. Yankees, with their touted Thur derers row., and only six times did they get a man on first.
 On the mound, facing 10000 pairs oi critical eyes, listening to the blasts oi the mighty shcyts, Scott was the in ear1ation of earnestness. faith and hope but he never smiled. He remained in. ecrutably calm and cool.
