that drove Meusel to third as Wally
slid in safely to second base.
The slaughte: was about to take
place after all. The crowd scented the
first Whit of blood, and after the man
ner of all crowds upon such an occa-
sion one of those wild, ripstering roars
beat back and forth across the field.
Scott had made brave start, but he
was now standing on the rim of doom.
Yankee bats were back again and the
tide was running their way.
In flash Higgins lifted Aaron Ward,
VINO hadn't been hitting lick to make
way for Elmer Smith, the left-handed
hitter with the eagles eye. Since Scott
was breaking up, one more heavy shot
would Tie the count and drive John
"llllam from the reservation, to seek
so!ace under the cooling shower and
think how closely he had come to beat
ing his way back to the fashionable
marts of his trade.
But as we suggested just above there
was nothing the matter with John
SCOTS heart. Facing Elmer Smith he
looked as cool as thin slice of cucum-
Der on ice. He must have known that
the LONG slog back would be about end
cd by another blow, and Hugh McQuil-
ian was warming up in center field
Crowd Roars Tribute
The second largest crowd that ever
saw worlds series game in the Polo
Grounds sat in breathless interest as
Smith took his place at bat, while
Scott, taking his time, looked the bat
ter over before bending over the first
strike. Three balls followed, and then
Scott turned on two perfect strikes,
and Smith stalked back to the bench as
$4,000 voices paid their tribute to a
good arm and game heart.
But Scott had another Scott to han
die, and the Yankee deacon is no piker
IN pinch, This time he, too, was help
less, as Bancroft threw him out and
the Yankee rally went to seed.
This was the only time throughout
the battle where the Yankees ever
threatened to spoil the story of der
ellct turned into man O. war. They
never mad a chance against the combi-
nation of Giant pitching and Giant in
tle!d play, where Groh, Bancroft and
frsch continued to back up their
pitching mate with an impregnable de-

were punched, tell the story of Scott's
greatness and the second Yankee de-
feat. For they were beaten in that
third inning, where none other than
our hero, viz, John William Scott, led
off with single to Hoyt's astonished
disgust. Ward booted Bancroft's hard,
low grounder into left and Scott, by
unexpected speed, raced on to third.
| Groh grounded to Hoyt and Scott was
run down, but Bancroft and Groh kept
on running until they reached third
and second, waiting for a hit. Frisch
scored Bancroft with a long sacrifice
fly and Irish Meusels busy bat scored
Groh with all the runs Scott needed to
complete his day of triumph.
Giants Add One in Seventh
Hoyt yielded another tally in the
seventh before Sam Jones replaced
him in the eighth, but the battle was
already over. 1t was over when Ban
croft scored the first run, although no
one except the Giant pitcher seemed
to know it then. The beauty of his
pitching was the perfect ease and lack
OF effort which stayed with him all the
| afternoon. He knew that nine-tenths
of those present expected his COM
plete demolition at almost any moment.
He knew that the message had gone
