Three Giant Jacks Lead Giants Toward Pennant
Manager John McGraw relies on Jack Bentley and Jack Scott, two 30 year old pitchers each around 200 pounds and six feet tall, to drive a fifth straight pennant. Bentley, a Maryland native, won over a dozen games by early June and batted five hits Memorial Day. Scott, born in North Carolina, secured a win in a hurling duel with Vance as part of a strong spring to summer stretch. The third Jack, older, has a longer career but is not as central as the duo.
