scoring game of the series. In
eleven innings the two teams
scored three runs, thanks to the
brilliant pitching in the pinches
by Carl Hubbell and Monte Wea-
yer.
AS ballplayers look on these
games it was a tough one for
Weaver to lose because he came
through so brilliantly time and
again when the Giants threatened
to score on him. And it would
have been tougher, in fact a
downright shame, if Carl Hubbell
had been the loser. For good as
Weaver was, he was not as good
as the Giant lefthander who has
conclusively proved his right in
this series, if such proof were
needed, that he is one of the great
pitchers of recent years. Surely
the greatest this year.
Shut Out Ball
It was the second time Hubbell
pitched shutout ball in this
series, though he was scored on
each time. 1nfield fumbles made
it possible for the Senators to
score two runs against him Tues
day, and his own slight tumble in
the seventh inning this afternoon
robbed him of a Shut-out in nine
innings. But he didn't let this
fluster him.
In fact he struck me as the
coolest man in the field as he
went about the work Of making
Bill Terry's home run stand up
and win ball game for him.
Hubbell was in a few tough
spots but all the damage was
crowded into a couple of minutes
in the sixth inning when his own
tumble, Bluege's sacrifice and
Sewell's single accounted for a
run. Before and after he was
the Hubbell who pitched all those
Shut-out victories while the Giants
were winning their flag.
There wasn't much to the
game except the tight pitching.
It was slow to the extent that
almost three hours were used up
in playing II innings and scoring
three runs. Slow play was nat
ural under the conditions. At
no time from start to finish did
either team have a lead of more
than a run. In several innings
the score was tied SO that there
was no opportunity for either
pitcher to let up even slightly
and take a chance on getting the
breaks.
Bunt Unexpected
He had to give all the time
and attention possible to every
pitch. I thought Travis Jack
sons bunt in the eleventh was
the outstandig play of the game.
Nobody expected Jackson to do
1t, because his legs are much
slower than they used to be. 1t
was a perfect bunt and his ar
rival on first base Immediately
put the Senators on the defen-
sive. It was the hit which
turned the tide, though Blondy
Ryan delivered the blow which
settled the ball game.
It looks very bad for the Sen
ators now. Taking three straight
from a team will all the pep and
enthusiasm and confidence of the
Giants will be quite a task.
Terry's men have surely surprised
with their play in this series, and
I can understand now how they
won their pennant with plenty to
spare, though they had to beat
out harder hitting teams.
look for Crowder to pitch for
the Senators today and I figure
he should win. He is too good a
pitcher to lose two in a row or
dinarily, and think he has had
his bad day for this series. Even
if he wins, the Senators will be
in a bad spot as they will need
two more. Schumacher will pitch
for the Giants today.
picked Washington to win
and I won't change my selection.
But I must admit they look bad
right now.
