that Groh's absence may not prove

These Men Played
Hero Roles In
Biz Series

1918 Walter Ruether, Red
pitcher, BY his batting, and
Eddie Roush, Red center fielder,
BY his fielding, were the big
factors in most Of the defeats
Of the White Sox.
1920 Elmer Smith, Cleveland
right fielder, hit 3 home run
with the bases full, the first
time in world series history.
Bill Wambsganss, Cleveland sec
ond baseman, completed 3 triple
- tllassisted.
1921 Jess Barnes, regarded
as the 'spallbearer" Of the
Giants pitching staff, relieved
Toney twice after he had been
knocked out Of the box and
won both games.
1922 Jack Scott, released nm
conditionally by the Cincinnati
Reds for having an incurable
arm and picked up by McGraw,
became the big hero of the
series when he let the Yanks
down with four hits in the third
game and won for the Giants by
the score Of 8 to 0.
1928 Bob Meusel was the
conspicuous hero Of the 1928
world series. With the bases
filled in the eighth inning Of the
last game, Babe Ruth was
famed by Bill Ryan. Meusel
then came up and raped q sim
gle to center field, scoring
Haines and johnson. Cunning
ham made q wild throw into the
{ dugout and Dugan scored and
Meusel went to third. Meusels
single, it turned out, won the
game and the series, Casey
Stengel, winning two games
with home runs, was the big
Giant hero.
