CR0N|N HELD WISE,
/. THOUGH STEP FAILS
Use of Stewart in Opener
Leaves Him BuIWarked
in Mound Talent.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

By JOHN d. FOSIEh.
n YEW YORK, October 4 (C.P.
|\AO-The world series began
in earnest for the Washing
ton Senators today.
To a certain extent Carl Hub
bells victory for the Giants in
the first series game had been
discounted by the Washington
club.
Manager Joe Cronin's strategy was to
send Wally Stewart, also southpaw,
into the first game on the chance that
he might have a good day and pull
through. If he did, Washington would
have In reserve the pitchers on whom
it relied as its best winners. If he lost
and Hubbell had a good day-as 1t
turned out-the leading Senatorial
hurlers would still be fresh and ready
for the fray.
It was not Cronin's idea to waste one
Of his best pitchers In the seemingly
impossible task Of attempting to beat
Hubbell.
Something Of that general scheme
was outlined three or four days ago.
While SO many people were talking
about Crowder and Whitehill being op-
posed to Hubbell in the first game. It
was suggested that they might be with
held until after test was made and
Stewart was used to see whether he
could not pitch with his occasional
great Success
TIE COULDN'T do it. and more than
anything else, Mel Otis home run
in the first inning broke him up.
He pitched well after that for an in
being hit three times in succession, and
that ended his career in the box.
Hubbell was undoubtedly the king Of
the first game, from New York's stand
point, but many fans would select Mel
OFT as the real hero. Though OFT did
not have single fielding chance in the
outf1eld. he walked to the plate four
times and hit the ball safely There are
not many batters In the history of the
world series who have driven out the
ball for home run and three singles
in four trips to the plate Young Mr.
OFT has made an excellent start toward
achieving the highest batting average
for the series.
Hubbell showed right at the start that
he was fit for battle by striking out the
first three Senators to face him. It Is
usually called a sign of bad luck when
you strike out the first batter in a world
series game, but when you also strike
out the next two 1t Is a sign Of remark

n OEW YORK, October Carl
nj Owen Hubbell today was no
Y less the topic Of the most
feverish world series debate
than he was before he stepped out and
checked the Senators In the OPEN
ing game before an unexpectedly big
crowd of nearly $1,000 cash Gus
toners In the Polo Grounds.
Even the most rabid Washington
rooters admitted Hubbell's great
ness under fire, his courage and con-
troll In a closing series of difficult
situations. Where American Leaguers
cling to the hope, II not the convic-
ton, that the Giants southpaw may
be less battling on his next appear
ance, the National League forces now
look for the lean left-hander to be
the deciding factor and more effec-
tive as the battle develops.
The answer Is that they came up
and looked Hubbell In the eye
in the stretch-otherwise the eighth
and ninth inning-and they couldn't
pass him." cleaned Bill Terry,
black-haired manager of the Giants.
THE only thing wrong with Hub
bell when he lost control in the
eighth was that he was not follow
ing through momentarily. He felt
the chilling breeze and frightened up
a little. He said his arm was all
right and that he wanted to finish
the game. Any time he feels that
way about it, Carl Hubbell can fin
ish the game for the Giants.
If the Senators think they have
his number now, they will have q
chance to find out. Hubbell will be
in there for us again."

"I'l take Terry's side" said the gar

not just for an argument, either. From
my mirrors 1t was clear that Hubbell
was wondering whether hot foot BATH

proper thing for his jitters. There were
times when the jits had him so bad

"A yEW YORK, October 4. .(NANA.). .
M The story of the opening
game Of the 1888 world series,
won by the Giants, to 2, can
be written around two badly pitched
balls, an unfortunate error by Second
Baseman Buddy Myer Of Washington,
and the superlative pitching OF South
paw Carl Hubbel of the Giants.
Myer erred on the first play Of the
game, setting the stage for Mel Otis
home run which brought In two runs,
the margin of New York's victory.
The two badly pitched balls, mechani-
cal not mental were delivered to Mel
OFT, the power house of the Giants. He
converted them into three of the four
runs made by the National League entry.
Two curve balls, which I am sure
Walter Stewart, a mighty smart pitcher,
intended to keep on the outside, got
away from him. One in the first in
ming came up waist high on the inside
corner. OFT pulled it into the right
field stands.
The other faulty pitch came in the
third inning and sent Stewart to the
showers for the day. It was curve
ball, high and inside, which OFT hit to
right for a decisive single. Critz was
on third and Terry on first at the time.
The blow scored Critz and sent Terry
to third, where he later scored on an
inf1eld out.
