McQraw must have rubbed his eyes tour years ago when a little boy with a downy chin walked In on him at the Polo grounda and said, "Here I am, Mr. Mcdraw, my name's Melvln Olt, and I'm from Louisiana." The other day the aame youth of tender years but rough waya with a baseball bat, planted his Und home run ot the aeaaon, and lot hla name aloud out In the chronicles of clout aa leader ot all the reat. That takea In both Icaguea, too. Another Babe Ruth? In a way, yea, but In many waya, no. For In Melvln Ott, at 30, we have the quiet and unassuming person with affable waya you've read about In books but seldom see.

"Do you think yon will beat Ruth In homers thla yearT one of the hundrede of klda, to whom he Is aa Idol, asked him the oth er day. "Tea him yes," chirped up Fred Llndstrom, Melvln's room' mats. And Ott replied, as seriously as a banker about to turn down a loan on that 30-acre place: I don't know. What I'm hoping la that we don't get Into any mora alumpa like that one we had early thla summer. Ott wore short pants when he got his first call for league base ball. He was catching on the Oretna, La., high school team when Prealdent Helnemann of the New Orleans club of the South ern league sent word he would be glad t try out Ott along with the high achool pitcher, Lester Rouprlch. Gets Long Pants Melvln's dad took thla cue and bought his boy some long trous ers. But that didn't fool Prexy Helnemann. He took a aharp age. Melvln waa then just a little look at Ott and aaked him hla shy of 1. Helnemann told both kids to put on uniforms, how ever, and watched them. After a few days, Prexy Helne mann decided Ott was too young to break In at once. He sent him to Patterson.

In the aummer ot 1933 Will iams went to Europe, and on the way dropped off to see McOrsw, telling him what a sweet ball player be had for him, and Mo- Oraw told Williams to send him on. - Thought It a Joke Ott saya he thought somebody waa playing a Joke on him when he received a telegram asking him to report to McUraw Sep tember 1, and ha tore up the mes sage and thought no more about it. When Williams returned from Europe, there was young Mr. Ott In Patterson, as big aa life. 'Why didn't yon go to New its thi guns rette ciga it. z .

Mr. Williams promptly parked tbe kid oft to New York, and Melvln makes no secret ot tbe fact that he was scared rigid, as any K-year-old kid might be. when he went to meet the old master mind. McUraw told blm to work out with the rooklos. Ott did, and worked bard. McQraw told blm to send his catcher's mill home and buy an outflelder'a glove. Ott did, and kept right on work ing.
