Behind Flinging of Earl

Washington, Oct. 6.-(P)-All the
Washington Senators had to do Fri
day to get back on even terms with the
New York Giants in the world series
was beat Carl Hubbell, the southpaW
master OF the screw ball.
Friday a powerful change had swept
over the series picture, a change so
threatening that Bill Terry. leader of
the National League champions, turn
ed as he had done all through the last
season in similar crisis, to Hubbell,
the pitcher of the year in the majors.
From stunned, shaken, struggling
team, wandering dizzily about, bats
waved futilely in the face of superb
pitching, the Senators reformed their
ranks Thursday amid the familiar
scenes of the home ball field. under
the eyes Of President Roosevelt, and
swept the Giants back in the third
game with wave of the same hard
bitten, betting aggrcssiveness that
overpowered the American League
this season.
Behind the flawless pitching OF Earl
Whitehill, southpaw ace, the Senator'S
stepped out and clubbed down fat
Freddy Fitzsimmons as the Giants
had slugged Wally Stewart and Gen
eral" Alvin Crowder.
Recovery Must Continue
Great as was Thursdays 40

satisfaction to the Senators unless the
recovery, in the shadow of the legis-

Cronin entrusted his pitching to

son, tossed the finest ball Of any man
on the Washington staff
Weaver, cool, calculating young
man with a grand curve and fast ball,
has been Cronins ace in the hole. and
the Senator'S believe he can beat the
Giants. even with Hubbell pitching.
Should that baseball miracle happen,
the teams will enter the game here

Earl Had Sore Arm
Now that Wtlitehill has pitched the
Senators back in the series scramble |
the ''inside story" may be told as to
why the American League champions
delayed sending their one best fling
ing bet to the firing line until the
third game.
''Whitehill. as most OF you fellows
figured, was selected by Manager Joe |
Cronin to oppose Carl Hubbeu in the
opening game Of the series" revealed
Clark Griffith, president Of the Sen
1tors, "but he developed a sore arm
for the first time in his life by bear
ing down to hard in workout against
the Yankees last week"
