Charm of the Iron Hat Fails.
For the first time during the current.
series Col. Tilinghast L'Hommedieu
Huston donned the iron hat. The charm
of that celebrated chapeau seems 60 have
been dissipated. Though this great
warrior was wearing the very headpiece
that carried the Yankees through their
season, the New York Americans lost
the third game. They lost it very thor
oughly too. The artillery, in other
words the batters on whom the owners
of the Yanks are depending did not hit.
John William Scott, once a problem
but now n hero, must have had some
ching to do with this. At any rate the
Yankees did not hit. When a team fails
to hit they get no runs and when they
do not get runs they do not win any
baseball games.
The very expensive Mr.. Ruth could
not even reach third. Economically
John J. McGraw seemed to have con-
siderable of an advantage. 1t seems
that when Scott was discarded by Herr
August Herman he was getting as
much as $2,400 per season. In Boston,
where John William used to be paid off,
this was considered quite a sum. In
Ridgeway, n. c., John William was re-
garded as quite a wealthy person. Con-
slider it in this light: here is a 81. 400
pitcher beating something like a million
dollar baseball club. These things
happen only in our national pastime.
Baseball history in the Scott case will
credit McGraw with great luck or great
intelligence Your correspondent would
like TO look back on IL as an evidence
of McCiraw's good natured faith in
human beings. 1t was something more
than luck, your correspondent thinks.
Along came the numbering Tar Heel

McGraw. So Jack Scott or John Will

started 10 pitch to his way back. BY
the time the Giants started on their
road trip John William was signed as
a regular pitcher He replaced Shufflin'
Phil Douglas who was shuffled out of
baseball at the time. Shufflin' Phil, ;t

OF last years series. Now John Will
lam Scott of Ridgeway. N. c., is the
leading candidate for the heroship Of
the current series.
The Giants got their first two runs in
the third inning. Scott. the sore arm
pitcher, started the scoring with a single
10 left. Bancroft shot q hard one at
Ward who juggled the ball, Scott reach
ing third. Heinic der Groh dribbled one
down 10 Hoyt and Scott was caught
between third and the home plate
While Dugan was playing a game of
tag with Scott Bancroft raced to third

who hits when hits mean something.
He hit to right and Groh scored the
second run.
This gave John William plenty of con-
f;dence, IL he neeHed any. 1t seems that
he did not. John William had perfect
confidence in himself as he started the
game. 1t was not q boastful self-confi-
dence either. John William did not feel
the least bit like a hero last night. He
