New-York tribune., 1922-08-02

1t was the Giants fourth straight de-
feat at the hands of the Pirates, and
rs they also lost the last of the Cardi-
nal series, the last five games have
been marked up on the wrong side of
the ledger. It's bad habit to be ac-
quiring at this stage and most advan-
tageous to the Cardinals, who ere sep
arated from the leaders by the width
of gnat's unmagnified eyebrow.
The deep-sea battle was just another
Of the kind the Pirates revel in. They
played dashing, stonewall game in
the field, their attack was irresisti-
BILE, and Max Carey Clipped in with
the customary home run. 1t was
Carey's fifth homer Of the series, and
it was delivered in the first inning with
Maranvilie on base. The Giants were
several times caught doing in the
whirl of their rivals aggressive attack,
while their own offensive never grew
prominent because Of Wilbur Cooper's
fine pitching.
With the game lost in the fourth in
ming, when the Pirates scored seven
runs, the Giants decided to expert
ment, and this laboratory method
brought to light the almost forgotten
Jack Scott. The big riglrt-hander
crawled out of the dugout and into the
box score in the eighth inning for his
assignment with the Giants. Scott has
been helping himself to the icewater
in the Giant dugout so long that his
name was not even on the score card.
He was almost q total stranger to the
5000 weather-beaten fans.
1t will be recalled that the Giants
saved Scott from minor league grave
when the Reds would have nothing to
do with him. He was the cause of
much scandal early in the season, when
he was traded to Cincinnati by the
Braves. Scott had sore arm at the
time, and the Reds gave him away for
a song, after he had twirled one in
ming of indifferent baseball.
Scott Most Effective
Yesterday Scott pitched the eighth
and ninth and was by far the most
effective of the three New York twirl-
ers. He did not allow a hit in the two
innings, while Rosy Bill Ryan and
Claude Jonnard were lambasted freely.
Ryan started the game, but was
knocked out in the fourth frame Bill
did not make an auspicious start, as
Maranville greeted him with a single
just as the first of countless raindrops
sprinkled on the Fabian lawn. Max
Carey then hit into the right field
stands for his home run, scoring the
Rabbit ahead of him.
The Giants got one run back in their
half when Bancroft singled, went to
third when Carey mussed up the hit,
and Banny scored on Neusel's single
to right.
Ryan escaped damage in the second,
but he almost effaced young Charley
Gooch with a wild pitch The ball
struck Gooch in the back of the head
and he fell to the ground. He finally
got up, but was SO groggy that he had
to be helped off the field by his mates.
After this unfortunate accident the
Pirates Jumped on Ryan in no uncertain
manner in the fourth and continued
the assault on Jonnard after Ryan had
been batted out. A pass to Traynor
and successive hits by Grimm, Mattox,
Cooper and Maranville spelt Ryan's
finish. With Jonnard on the mound
Carey walked, Bigbee doubled, Frisch
made a wild throw on the relay after
being caught doing and Russell hit a
sacrifice fly. When Tierney finally
fouled for the third out seven runs
had clattered over the plate, there was
sadness in the Giant camp and much
ribald laughter from the fans.
Meusel paved the way to the second
New York tally in the fourth, when he
singled for the second time. Young
sacrificed and Kelly's single scored
Irish. The Pirates also added one
more in the seventh off Jonnard on
singles by Traynor and Grimm and
Mattox's sacrifice fly.
