Just Too Bad

If he thinks it is a strike
and the man with the mask
and chest protector says it is
a ball, that arbiter is thus and
80. And if the center fielder
1nisjudges a fly it is just too
bad. That guy in the stand
who paid his good money could
have caught that fly.
The judge makes a decision.
It affects a man generally and
generously accepted as an au-
thority. In a way Husing's
decisions, if the good judge
wants to call them that, are
lust as important to the mil
lions and millions who listen in
over the Columbia chain, as
the four men on the diamond.
Like a sports editor. HuSing
is reporting as we'll as calling
balls and strikes on the News.
Judge Lands bars Husing.
Harvard didn't like his wise
cracks last fall. The judge
may be right according to his
way Of thinking. The Crimson
may have been somewhat
peeved.
But Husing must be, and is,
the eyes and ears and brain
and voice for the millions and
millions who really want to
know what's going on out there
on the field in a world series.
Husing is all that. And a fan
TO boot.

Carl Hubbell is the guy the
Griffs are supposed to fear most.
First, because the Giant left
handler pitches a so-called "screw
ball." a pitch the Griffs haven't
had the fortune Of facing very
many times in their collective
careers. Next, Hubbell has speed
and plenty Of big league ex-
perience behind him-an asset
that's half the battle for any big
league pitcher whether an Ameri'
can League or National League.
And finally, Carl has the Giants
behind him, Bill Terry, in par
ticular, to inspire him to great
heights every time he steps to the
mound.
Can Be Beaten
Now, the Giants say, isn't that
an obstacle to beat down right
from the start? The Griffs
answer in the negative, stating
that Hubbell, though apparently
good, is not so good that he can't
be beaten. Which setback they
hope to hand him In the opener
next Tuesday if he stalks to the
box for Bill Terry. AS to the
other Giant pitcners, they believe
they can, and will. take" them
too.
Next on the docket is the dead
ball which National League ad-
herents believe will bother the
GriffS and bother 'em plenty
Cronin and his gang won't be able
to connect for long distances with
the pellet, they contend, as no
matter how squarely they meet it,
the ball will not ride" as easily
or as powerfully as if the Ameri-
can League "onion" was being
slapped.
The Griffs rise up and shout
moi" in this case as before, as
it is their belief that all that
they'll have to do is hit the
pitches Of Hubbell. Fitzsimmons
Schumacher, Parmelee and the
others, and it will travel, and
travel fast and timely enough for
them to cop a couple Of games,

is to come later on.
Satisfied are coaches that the
code is practically unchanged.
A few clarifying notifications IN
the rules and the boys declare
they are satisfied that the host
of followers will be.
A year ago a wide use Of the
lateral pass was heralded. Save
in a few instances little use was
made of the play. Again is
noised the tipoff that the lateral
will play an important part in
this years struggles.
Aren't the solons trying to get
nearer and nearer to the dear
old game of rugby as played at
Elton in the days Of Tom Brown?
Isn't football being spectacu-
larized or modernized If you
will?
I profess no great intimacy
with the double wingback, the
triple spinner or the various dia-
mondor 6-3.2 defenses, but I do
know my football from the days
when the Indians played George

Or wasn't it Pop Warner who
said: Y

it, kick it, or pass it,"
Meaning, of course, football.

Moreover, there are always all
kinds Of ugly rumors in circula-
ton before a sports champion
ship, so until such time as the
truth is available I propose to
ignore the unconfirmed report
that this is to be one of those
intellectual world series, abetted
and melted to this point by the
local behavior of Mr.. Joe Cronin.
Mr.. Cronin is the bay manager
who seems to have mastered the
art of saying nothing very sooth-
ingly and with the air of one
who ponders deeply. The young
man is in town on business. His
new champions, the Senators,
are playing out the string against
the olds, in this case none other
than the Yankees, now winded
and blowsky like an old SOU
brette. In the circumstances,
New York feels that the young
man ought to circulate a little,
while delivering himself of some
very arresting statements.
Contagious Habit
Instead. he just stands around
and ponders. This is not only
disturbing but contagious. He's
even got the Giants thinking,
which is a great strain upon all
concerned.
Some of them think he will
pitch Monte Weaver in the open
ing game of the series on Tuesday,
either conceding the game to Hub
bell or, in beating him with an
off-the-record pitcher, practically
close out the series right under
the gun. Another giant, Gus
Mancuso, thinks he will pitch
Walter Stwerat. What Mr.. Cronin
himself thinks, Mr.. Cronin is
neglecting to state.
"I'lI do just as I've always
DONE" says he. "I'll pitch my
best against their best"
The last manager who said that
before a world series was Cor.
neliuS Mack. Of Philadelphia, who
thereupon came up for the open.
ing game with Howard Ehmke.
The latter, on his record that
year, couldn't figure to beat Peoria
in an exhibition, but, after he
turned in matchless performance
against the Cubs, Mr.. Mack'S
choice was hailed as the master
stroke Of all thinking.
However, I've always suspected
that he reached his decision early
in this case and just stayed with
it. If he had thought too much
about it, in fact. he might have
wound up by having Ehmke ar
rested for impersonating a ball
player.

Ruth Says Cronin
Need Not Resort
To Strategy

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Babe
Ruth doesn't believe that Joe
Cronin will attempt any strategy
in his pitching selections for the
world series against the Giants.
"Naw," said he. "Why should
he feel around with his
pitchers? He's got three good
ones in Whitehill, Cr0wder and
Stewart. Whitehill's the tough
est of the lot, with q great
curve ball AMI q good high,

somebody else when you have
guys like that? Naw."

Weird Spirit Tale
 Comes to Strand

Supernatural" a weird tale of the spirit world, heads the pro- gram at the Strand today and to- morrow.
 "Supernaturar' is the story of young girl whose body is pos- sessed by the averaging spirit of murderess. Miss Lombard, as the girl, wealthy heiress, grief stricken because of the death of a beloved twin brother, is easy prey for Dinehart, a fake spiritualist, more interested in her fortune than in her brother. Meanwhile Miss Osborne, betrayed to police by Dinehart, is executed in the electric chair for a murder she had committed. Warner. psy- chologist, attempts an experiment upon her to prevent her spirit from wreaking the revenge which he is sure it is plotting.
 The experiment, however, goes amiss, and the spirit enters the body of Miss Lombard and plans to use the girl to wreak vengeance on Dinehart.
 The companion feature is the gay musical comedy Melody Cruise"

caroIe Lombard in
 New Garden Feature

How unscupulous spirit "med. iums" employ sleight of . hand tricks to dupe the gullible out of large fortunes yearly is demon- strated in "Supernaturar', Q tale of the spirit world, which comes to the New Garden theater today and tomorrow with Carole Lombard, Randolph Scott and Vivienne Os- borne in leading roles. "Superna- turar is sympathetic story of spiritualism, but one of the major characters in the story Is a "phon- ey" spiritualist, who toys with forces he does not comprehend. The film reveals how he uses var ious tricks to produce apparent spirit effects.
 Music and dancing are an i'm. portant feature of Best of Ene- mics" also on the bill. The musical background, under the direction of Arthur Lange, accompanies the &C., tion of the film as 1t passes from pre-prohibition days down to the recent return of beer. Sammy Lee, who will be remembered for his staging of a number of the famous iZegfeld shows, is responsible for the dance arrangements in the film. Buddy Rogers and Marian Nixon have the principal romantic roles in Best of Enemies, with a sup porting cast that include Frank Morgan, Joseph Cawthorn, Greta Nissen, Arno Frey, William Law renee and Anders Van Haden.
 Also showing is the latest chap ter of "The Phantom of the Air" and heading the short subjects Is Arthur Tracy. the street singer, in Russian lullaby.

ffpirates of Penzance"

A gala performance of one of the gayest of operettas, "The Pi- rates of Penzance," will be given over a National Broadcasting com- pany network on Sunday, August 6, under the direction of Harold San ford, veteran Gilbert and Sullivan conductor. The program will be one of the series of NEG Light Operas.
 Of all the operas by the famous pair, this is perhaps the best suited to radio adaptation. In the one hour tabloid version which will be broadcast over ,an NBC-WJZ net work at 500 ?. m. D. D. s. T., 1t is possible to include almost all of the solo and ensemble numbers, as well as much of the satirical com cry which is as timely today as when 1t was first heard in Lon don in 1880
 Sanford has assembled an ex- ceptionally fine cast of favorite NEG soloists for "The Pirates" Muriel Wilson, featured Maxwell House Show Boat soprano, will be Mabel, the literal minded sweet heart of Frederick, the first con scientious objector," sung by Fred Hufsmith. tenor, who is heard each week in the Cities Service programs.

Others in the cast will be Paula Heminghaus. as Ruth, the piratical maid-of-all work; Alma Mitchell. Aimee Punshon. Harold Branch and Earl Waldo. The singers, including an ensemble of mixed voices. will be accompan- fed by a large concert orchestra under Sanford's baton.

 Physicians, it is true, have learned to mask their feelings in such cases. We sort of expect 1t in male doctors. However. how about a woman physician?

 Hollywood.-"Five and twenty years of life, of worries and of joys.
 .:Is quite bit of bravery and earns a lot of noise."
 Those lines were contained in a poem written by George Sidney two years ago in honor of the 25th wedding anniversary of his screen partner. Charlie Murray.
 When q screen couple celebrate a silver anniversary 1t Is an event indeed It rates poetry. In fact, it rates almost anything. But Charlie Murray and his wife have chalked up two more anniver- saries. having celebrated their 27th last May 26.
 Met in Theater
 My wife and I met in a very strange manner" Murray said. "She was engaged to a friend of mine who sent her to me when Ol- lie Mack and I were appearing in a vaudeville act in Lincoln, >Neb. She wanted to be an actress and he thought that if she worked with us for while sh ewould be cured of the desire. But she wasn't. Not only did we continue working to- gether for five years, but we fell in love and were amrried only q few months after we met"
 Mrs Murray worked on the stage with her husband until they came to Hollywood where he embarked on his screen career under D. W. Griffith. The director also offered Mrs Murray job, but Charlie re- piled:
 My wife is through working. She'll never do 1t again as long as I am able to pay the bills"
 That was that-but she came very close to going back to work
