left arm of Carl Hubbell and
Mel OTIS busy bludgeon played
the opening sonata of Giant
triumph over the Senators in the first
game Of the world series to the tune
Of 1 to 2.
So it happened that the pleasant
and quiet hamlets of Carthage, Mo.
and Gretna. La, exchanged the gar
lands Of victory as the snake-like arm
of Hubbell and the blazing batting eye
OF OFT gave the Giants the Jump
game Of the world series as a packed
and cheering stand looked down upon
the field.
Otis contribution was q death-deal-
ing home run and three singles out Of
four time at bat, good enough for three
runs and the ball game. Hubbells s
famous screw ball, that came up to the
plate with the whirligig contours Of a
dozen pretzels thrown at q drunk,
struck out 10 Slashing Senators and
left the famous American League at
tack gasping with five scattered singles.
It broke right, left and down after the
manner Of Matty's old fade-away.
They couldn't hit Carl with double
handful of shot at three PAGES. And
while his celebrated snake ball was
during its poisonous duty, Mel OFT
and other Giants were blasting Wallie
Stewart, a Senatorial pitching ace for
10 hits and four runs.
Russell Arrives Too Late.
"HE hitless wonders had the range
of one OF the star pitchers of
the American League. They
filled his hide full Of holes and they
drove him to the cooling Solace Of the
showers before the third inning was
over-when big Jack Russell was called
in to suppress Giant bats.
But big Jack Russell arrived too late.
When you give Carl Hubbell four runs
to work on-you give him the top OF
the world. And pax of other planets.
The setting was perfect for the OPEN
ing drama of the world series show.
Among those in the crowded. excited
stands was Hans Wagner. who played
in the first modern world series 80
years ago. There was Babe Ruth, who
featured the last world series in Chi
cago, the greatest of all world series
stars.
There were Walter johnson and John
McGraw-and there was young Matty
whose famous father gave the greatest
world series pitching show ever known
just % years ago.
And this big crowd. peering down
upon a cool and cloudless October day,
saw Carl Hubbeu and Mel OFT COM
bine their twin arts Of defense and
offense to bring back victory and glory
to the National League.
Most of the dramatic elements OF
this first game happened to be cast in
the first and ninth innings.
$4,000 Throats Pay Tribute.
TT WAS Carl Hubbell. the Missouri
machine gun, who turned on the
- first blast He had conquered the
American? With the big crowd keyed
to a high pitch the Missouri sapling,
as lean as young birch, stepped out
and famed Myer, Goslin and Manush
in order, as $4,000 throats paid tribute
to his skill.
That was the opening salute-the
deadly thrust that has no parallel In
world series history.
Each in turn he struck down as If
he had welded sword Of Milan steel
That first chapter which Hubbeu threw
at the Senators told most Of the story.
When you can strike out Myer. Goslm
and Manush in order you have some
thing more than a prayer and glove.
As Hubbell tossed his old mitt aside and
walked from the box the stands were
rocking from the vocalistic tribute he
had earned.
But the drama of that first inning
had only started. Moore. the f1rst
Giant up, raped ground ball
at Buddy Myer, Washingtons
second baseman. It was an easy chance.
but Myer blew the shot and fumbled.
Stewart retired Critz and Terry
and then Mel OFT, the Louisiana lar
ruper came up. Mauling Mel. seamy
veteran Of "a, who has known seven
years of big league service, waited for
q high curve ball about chest high.
And when this ball came Mel gave it
the works He slashed one into the
right field stands for home run. scor-
ing Moore ahead Of himself for 2-run
lump.
