battling pitcher in the world to
teams which have not hit against
him through a season. There is
no other delivery in baseball that
even approximates HubbellS stuff
in freakiSh variety. Hubbell has
won 81 games this year as COM
pared to "a for Rowe, who OF
course, equalled the American
League record for consecutive VIC
tories with his great run OF 16
straight. Rowe's style is orthodox
and other pitchers with plenty OF
speed and good curve have
found the bats of the Giants
lethal this year. RoWe's strength
is in keeping his fast ball down
low. He does this effectively.
Both Tommy Bridges and Hal
Schumacher rank close to the top
in their respective leagues, and
with each at his peak the battle
should be worth seeing. Perhaps
Bridges may be slightly more ef-
fective than the Giant entry If
he has one OF his good days.
Bridges has an explosive curve
ball and adds to his effectiveness
very fast one. Schumacher is
a fast ball pitcher. and like
Bridges is almost invincible when
his control is good.
American League players in

man to open the series; that he

eran who pitched a remarkable

KEGS in Detroit.
Fitz VS.. Auker
The fourth game will find Fred
Fitzsimmons working against Ell"
den Auker, and the Giants should
be favorites.
Your correspondent finds 1t
necessary to dissent from the opin'
ions of Terry and Cochrane con-
cerning that fourth game, ana
here we introduce our own condi'
tions and conjectures. The fourth
game may find the series at its
crisis. If this is so, then both
managers may decide to play
their strongest players in an ef-
fort to put on a winning drive.
The manager holding the advan-
tage will not willingly surrender
his edge, and will counter the
moves of his rival with all avail
able power.
If Rowe beats Hubbell in the
opener and Bridges beats Schu-
macher we are apt to find the
mighty Schoolboy back on the bill
for the fourth game, and VT are
apt to find Hubbell in there op,
posing Rowe. The same develop
ment may be expected in the
event that the Giants gain an ad-
vantage in Detroit. CoChrane
thinks Rowe is his ace, and Terry
holds the same opinion OF the
Oklahoma silent man.
Giants Staff Stronger
The pitching of the Giants
promises to be stronger over a
protracted series for the reason
that the starting quartet, as
named, has more quality than the
Tiger four weighed in a group.
Rowe and Bridges are top rank
ing pitchers. Crowder is a queS-
tionable asset despite his most
recent triumph. Auker is little
above mediocrity. Neither Zion
Hogsett, the Indian left-hander
nor Fred Marberry gives any in
dication of greatness. The same
must be said of Sorrell, Hamlin
and Fischer.
Granting Rowe everything in
greatness to which his record of
the year entities him, the writer
has no hesitancy in picking Hub
bell to beat Rowe. Whatever the
two might do over a major league
season has little to do with this
discussion. Hubbell is the most

Representatives Hear Addresses on the Operating of
 Housing Measure--7S Loans Granted Here

Mir Tyack, the principal speaker, there have been 7S loans granted through banks for home repairs.
 He declared that banks are willing to advance loans for home repairs to reputable individuals, pointing out thatt he federal government guarantees 20 per cent of the prin- cipal of each note.
 The National Housing act, he ex- plained, was passed as result of the CWA census last year which showed that in the nation there were more than 16 million homes in need of repair, and that more than three million were found to be in very poor shape.
 Speaking for the Norfolk Ca were Clyde Anderson, general man ager, Edward Ludlow, manager Of the lumber trade division, and Mr Eaton.
 Cooperation Promised
 Speaking for the Connecticut firms represented was Ralph De- vino of the Waterbury Mason Supply & Lumber Co. He promised the cooperation of the western Con. necticut firms in carrying out the aims of the MIA.
 Firms represented included the following: Waterbury Mason Sup ply & Lumber Co, Seifert and Coos of Danbury, Tiffany and Pickett Co of Danbury, Lawton Miner Co of Collinsville, Southing- ton Lumber Co of Southington, Perretu Brothers of Bantam, Charles M. Beach Go of New Mil- ford, Southbury Lumber Co of Southbury, Swift and Upson Co of New. Britain, Centerville Lumber Go of Hanlden, Hotchkiss Brothers Co of Torrington.
