PH|LL|ES PURCHASE
GIANT MOUNDSMAN
Wilbur HubbelI, Former Toronto
Star Finger, Added to
Cravath's Staff

Wilbur Hubbell, big right
handed pitcher, who has been working
for John McGraw all season, has been
purchased from the New York club by
the Phils. William F. Baker. presi-
dent Of the Phillies, made this an
nOuncement this morning.
Hubbell pitched against Brooklyn
yesterday. and in the two innings he
was on the mound no hits were made
off his delivery. Bill is very husky
person and has all Of the earmarks OF
a good pitcher. Down South last spring
he showed up better than any OF the
other rockies, and appeared to have a
good chance to stick.
However, McGraw had enough
pitchers on the payroll and was glad to
help the tottering staff of the Phils.
Barnes, Toney, Douglas, Nehf, Benton,
Winters and the others are going good
and Hubbell could be spared.
Last year the big pitcher was with
the Toronto club Of the International
League. and won seventeen and lost
eleven games. He is a youngster and
has plenty OF time to develop.
President Baker and Manager
Cravath have been securing the country
for pitchers since the season opened,
Mr.. Baker Is ready to spend any amount
of money for high class talent, but none
has been on the market Getting Hub
bell was a brilliant piece of work. Art
Fletcher recommended him highly,
When the Brooklyn club was play
ing here recently President Baker tried
hard to buy a pitcher from Charlie,
Ebbetts. The Dodgers have ten hurler
on their staff and Ebbetts was tolc
to name his own price, for any two o
them. This the Brooklyn owner re
fused to do, saying he would stand pat.

He isn't afraid of getting hhe wants TO do the hitting
II noticed that Babe likes to crowd the home plate
before he swings He moves his front foot closer TO the

Another thing which makes Ruth a wonderful

He waited until the sphere Aoaed up to the plate and
then knocked it into the blcachers.
