C|ANTSREAL CLUB
BACK Of HUBBELL.
Otherwise They Appear Sad
on Jaunt-Beat Cubs in
Final, 10 to 3.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

IN THE course of a disastrous
tour through the Western
sector of the National League
4 the New York Giants have
managed to prove only that they
still are dangerous when Carl
Hubbell is pitching.
What started as a joyous jaunt for
the league leaders ended with the
Giants in fourth place after losing
eight games and winning five. But
they found one bright spot in the pic
ture yesterday when they celebrated
their release from the terrors of the
road by smashing out l0-to-3 deci-
sion over the Chicago Cubs behind
Hubbells hurling and knocked the
Cubs right out of the lead.
The slender Oklahoman. whose left
arm bore much of the pitching bur-
den of the 1893 campaign. bore down
once he got past bad hrst inning
and gave only five hits and one run
in the remainder Of the game. And
it was an error by Travis Jackson.

ITO BACK him up, the Giants
smacked Is hits, including Mel
Otis seventh homer, drove
Charley Root 10 the showers in four
innings and just breeZed through as
every player got at least one safe
blow. Joe Moore also hit for the Cir
cult as one Of his three safeties and
Dolph Cammilli contributed Chicago
homer.
The triumph left the Giants only a
half game out of third place as
Brooklyn's Dodgers also staged fin
ishing celebration and beat out the
Cardinals, to S. Despite the bril-
liant efforts of Jack Rothrock, who
walloped a homer, a double and three
singles and figured in all the scoring
that gave the Cards a ST. lead. the
Dodgers wouldn't be stopped once Jim
Mooney began to weaken.
Although defeated. the Cards ended
their home stand with nine victories
and only three losses. record ex-
celled only by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

McColl to Fall Back On.

CHOULD any of these choices for
- hill duty against the Indians fail
to come through in acceptable
style, the Nationals probably will be
better off than formerly so far as re-
serve material is concerned. The elder
" Alex McColl, wonderfully seasoned
right-hander. will be available for re-
lief service. He'll be back from Chat
tanooga for a second shot at the big
show
In his brief term with the Nationals
last season this old-timer displayed
deal of pitching cunning as well as
mechanical ability. He surely looked
great as he disposed of the White Sox
in a four-hit game in Washington,
and even better as he went through
relief spell against the Giants in the
world series. Old Alex had something
on several other Washington pitchers
who tried to get somewhere In the
annual base ball classic.
Ossie Bluege, veteran third sacker,
will be at his old post as the Nationals
clinch with the Indians. And not
only because Cecil Travis, the rookie,
still is a trif1e off color as a result OF
the beaning he took in Washington
nearly two weeks ago. Since his re-
turn to the game Bluege has larruped
the leather earnestly and the Ma
tionals can i'll afford to pass up any
thing that resembles hitting these
days. 1t takes lot of power to get
anywhere when a clubs pitchers are
as likely as not to hand the opposition
a cluster of runs for no good reason
at most any time.

setback in the Capital early this

of course, will have Dave Harris in

That right field job in Cleveland is
something to make manager of an
invading club worry now that the
Indians again are in their bandbox
park on the east side of the Forest
City. 1t doesn't take much of
drive to 60 on a line to the short
right field fence. And the way
drives bound off that wall makes it
no bargain to play the pasture in
front of it. A right fielder in League
Park must be a billiardist as well. He
must know his caroms.
Stone doesn't know much about the
trick field in Cleveland. He was play
ing left for the Tigers when the Tribe
formerly was in it's old park. But
Jack has looked so good in other right
fields this season he ought to get the
hang of the Indians right pasture in
short order.

Weaver to HurI Third Game,
Says Cronin-Bluege to
Remain in Lineup.

JoI1AN AAIAALAs'
~NCINNATI, May 10
Hopeful of getting away
to a good start with his
~ Nationals in their first
Western invasion of the season,
Manager Joe Cronin proposes to
throw what he regards the best
of his hill henchmen at the In
dians in the initial series out
this way.
Joe has nominated Earl White
hill, Walter Stewart and Monte
Weaver for the pitching assign
ments in Cleveland, the chuckers
to chuck in the order mentioned.
The way Whitehill has performed
he has but one win to his credit and
that came his way after he had been
batted from the boX-it would seem
that Cronin is taking long chance
in naming this southpaw for the
series start tomorrow. However, the
pilot believes the Earl has the stun 10
get away with it and at that it is about
time this hurler who was one OF the
stellar performers of the circuit last
wear should show something worth
while.
In nominating Stewart for the sec
ond set-to, Cronin appears to be fol-
lowing past form. 1t was Stewart who
left-handed his way to his only win
of the campaign when he faced the
Indians in Washington after they had
handed Walters fellow southpaw,
Whitehill, a lacing. Against the In
dians on his own lot Stewart went a
route for the only time in the season
and triumphed handsomely.
Weaver, of course. seems logical
choice for a game in any series. While
he has had his reverseS this year, the
lanky right-hander looks to be in
fine fettle and likely to give splendid
account of himself at any time.

Better Golfers.
TN THE argument that has devel-
oped concerning Great Britain's
repeated golfing failures. I agree
with Chandler Egan.
Our amateur golfers have the
sounder. better swings. They have
worked harder at the game and have
built far better foundations for con-
sistent play. They have played much
more with leading professionals.
There is a smooth. even pace to the
swing of Americas best amateur golf
ers, which British amateurs lack.
1t is difficult to have an equal
amount of competitive spirit against
much better form and style. The
golfer with a kink in his swing Is al
ways up against trouble under pres
sure. The cracking process isn't so
much a matter of competitive spirit
as of faulty form.
Every section of the United States
Far West, Midwest, Southeast. North
has its share of fine golfers who stand
upon sound methods.
Young British amateurs must get
sounder start If they are to make any
headway against the Goodmans. the
Iittles, the Morelands and the Dun
laps, with a long parade of others
coming on year after year-kids who
are on their way with the type Of
swing that will stand up.

The average golfer is instructed to
use his left hand and left arm more

To make this use effective, he must
first build up the left hand and arm,

NOTED VETERANS

Acquisition Of Larry Takes

nj League rosters had been
v whitfield down TO the 23-
- player limit today and
two famed veterans of the game
were looking for jobs.
Forty-year- -old Burleigh Grimes,
hard-bitten rIght-hander, and 39-
year-old Joe Judge, in his heyday one
of base balls finest fielding first base
men, were cut adrift by the st. Louis
Cardinals and Boston Red Sox, re-
spectively.
In his 10 years in the big leagues
Grimes served with every National
League club except Cincinnati and
Philadelphia and he may complete
the swing before he's ready to call
it career. Judge, who spent the
first l8 of his 20 years in the big time
with the Washington Senators before
shifting to Brooklyn and then to Bos-
ton, can charge his unconditional re-
lease, in part at least, TO the trade
whereby the Red Sox parted with
about $4,000 cash and Fred Muller,
rookie inflelder, to the New York
Yankees for Lyn Larry.
Although a shortstop by trade, Larry
is a good all-around infieId utility
man and can turn in a workmanlike
job at first base for the Red Sox in
the event Eddie Morgan needs a rest.
Muller won't need to be measured

Four hard fights under his belt In

Max Baer had done the fighting
and Max Schmeling the resting when

more of a doubtful proposition than
he would have been in the wake OF a
