The sore arm of John William Scott
lasted through nine innings yesterday
and the Giants won the third game Of
the world series by 8 to 0 at the Polo
Grounds. John William Scott Is the
Playfellow case of baseball. Early in
the season he was sold by G. Wash
ington Grant to August Hermann, the
Burgomeister of Cincinnati. Herr
Hermann complained about John
William. Not only that he started a
suit against G. Washington Grant.
The basis of the suit was that John
William had a sore soup bone
Herman very abruptly gave John
William his unconditional release,
which is the baseball way of saying
that Herr Herman fired John William.
John William did not accept the ver-
dict of Herr Herman and the court.
John William declared that the soup
bone could be worked back into shape.
He left Cincinnati and came to New
York. John William at that time was
just pitcher whose right arm had gone
back on him. Naturally, John William

To your correspondent it looks very
much as though John William has de-
cided the current series. At any rate
the Tar Heel with the sore arm GER
tainly has placed the Giants in what an
expert might call a strategic position.
