If There We're Giant
Ghosts They Must
Haze S0Luted "HNb"

NEW YORK, July 11.-Prob-
ably I am just a sucker
for a lefthander, but as the
visitors half Of the third in
ming Of the all-Star baseball
game at the Polo Grounds yes
terday ended it seemed to me
I could see ghostly figures rise
In the shadow Of the Giants
dugout to salute a champion.
No doubt it was just a touch
of the July sun, but as Carl
owen Hubbel, the kid from
home, turned to jog back to
the clubhouse, where the bright,
new John J. McGraw memorial
tablet caught the eye, it seemed
I could see the Giants Of yes
terday touch the bibs Of faded
ball caps to a Giant Of today.
r Somewhere down there, I
thought to myself in that brief
moment Of fancy, the spirits Of
McGraw, Matty, McGinnity,
Bozeman Bulger and Sam
Crane must be gathered around
the water cooler, lifting the cup
and chortling: "Attaboy, Hub"
Or would the spirits Of that
group ever gather around a
water cooler? No matter.
" For, while the A me ican n
: League All-StarS won the ball
game and showed what the fig
ures say was the best pitcher of
the afternoon-Mel (Big Chief
Harder - the kid from home
stole the finest show baseball
has seen in 20 years.
Left 'Em Screaming
Yes, Harder and Joe Cronin's
team won the ball game, ou5 it ,
was Hubbell, Of the Giants, who
left them screaming and beat
ing their palms together when
he said good bye.
It was Hubbell who famed
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy
Fox, All S m mons and Joe
Cronin in succession, who swept
the decks when the checks were
down, and whose pitching in this
game will be remembered long
after tn lie score - American

no more than some faded fig
s. ureS in an old record book.
Long, lean and lazy except
when he is forced to turn 1t on
the slick southpaw from the
Oklahoma sage would have had
those American League sluggers
swinging like Max Baer in his
youth all afternoon, if Bill
Terry could have left him in
there.

: That really was the story Of
this extraordinary ball game
Terry observed the amenities,
Cronin elected to win at any
cost and did. If Lonnie War;
neke and Van Lingle Mungo
had been Giant pitchers in a
run-of-the-mine ball game they
would have been out of there
long before the American
Leaguers nicked them for any
six runs. They would, or I
don't know Mr.. Terry, and 7
think I know Mr.. Terry.
But "the Colonel" was on the
spot, and circumstances made
it a hotter spot than any that
: his rival manager could possibly
have been put on. Broadly
speaking, Cronin's Washington
team is out of the pennant race
9 in the American League. But
, Terry's troupe is very much in
the battle for the flag in the
National, and it just SO hap
pens that Warneke is one Of
the ace pitchers of the Chicago
Cubs, at this writing chief rivals

} Terry Plays Polite
As CrOnin Plays the
PercentG0e-G11d Wins

The least Terry could do was
to give Warneke q full deal,
once L,onnie was In there, and
he did. The same was true Of
Mungo, but for q different rea-
son. Van is Brooklyn's white
hope on the pitching peak,
and Terry has been persona
non grata in Flatbush all sea-
son due to a careless remark he
made about the Dodgers being
in or out Of the National
League last winter. Had he
failed to give Mungo every op-
portunity, the manager Of the
Giants and N. L. All-StarS
would have had to go to Eb-
bets Field in an armored car in
future.
So Terry decided that eau
ton was the better part Of
valor and played the diplomat,
while Cronin played the per-
centage and won the game. If
you will glance at the box score
you will see that Cronin had
two pitcherS-BridgeS and Rus
sell-who never so much as got
their noses out Of the dugout.
Found Harder Hot
When he found that Harder
was hot, Joe let him work five
full innings. If Terry had
elected to do the same with
Hubbell, I am reasonably GER
tain the American Leaguers
never would have overcome the
early four-run lead that Frank
F'risch and "Joe Concrete Med.

ridge circuit, and the st. Louis
Cardinals, for the Heydler,

ing Hubbell, Earl Averill's su.
perb hitting and Harder's flaw
less pitching just topped the
slugging of Frisch and Med
wick and the strong though
lucklesS pitching Of "Dizzy"
Dean.
It was that rare thing in
baseball, a dropped fly from
Frisch's hands, that led to the
only run scored off Dean, who
was paving and digging in on
the throwing ridge throughout
the three frames he worked,
and was always in trouble, but
generally superior to it.
Like Harder, 'Diz' was a
good pitcher, but on this July
afternoon neither Of them was
one side Of Hubbell. And so,
gradually, we have come back
to where we started-the kid
from home.
Down by Tracks
Possibly you have been wond-
ering why I call Hubbell that.
I'll tell you. He was born down
the tracks "aways" from my
home town at Carthage, Mo.
True, his parents moved over
into Oklahoma when Carl was
still a youngster, but that was
their mistake, not his. Such a
smart pitcher as he has turned
out to be would never, never
have left Missouri for Okla
homa.
But we Missourians got to
stick together and claim every
thing in sight while the claim
ing is good. Now that Hubbell
has once more proved himself
the most effective pitcher in
baseball, he is 100 per cent from
Mo. Didn't he have to be
shown that Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx

DETROIT, Mich, July 11.-Al
though thoughts of the all-star
game today still fingered in the
minds Of baseball-minded people,
the Griffmen, an exception, had
their eyes on an important game
today and an important series
beginning tomorrow.
The game today is with the De-
troit Tigers. Tomorrow at Cleve-
land, Manager Cronin's men will
open a tough series.
Schedule Shifted
The reason for this complicated
jumping about brings the schedule
makers into the spotlight at this
time. It seems last winter when
they were compiling the list Of
games for each club they found
the New York Yankees lacked
Sunday date in Detroit to balance
that teams schedule out west.
So to even up things, they de-
cided to have the Griffs play a
single game at Detroit today, thus
enabling the Yanks to Jump over
from Cleveland to get in the Sun
day date needed on this trip.
The GriffS will hop right back
to Detroit following their four
days stay in Cleveland to COM
plete the series.
While facing the Tigers today.
Manager Cronin's gang will be
meeting a team very much in the
race for the flag.
In plain words, the GriffS and
Tigers have met ten times this
year. An even break resulted
from two games, at Washington
in May; a two out of three edge
was scored by the Griffs at De-
troit later in the month, and the
Tigers triumphed in three of four
engagements at Washington in
early June.
6 Out Of 10 Record
Against the Cleveland Indians,
Cronin and his gang have Jared
much better, as the record of six
victories in ten games proves.
But even so, the Griffs expect
plenty of opposition from the
Indians, as the team is usually
very good on its home lot
For today's single contest against
the Tigers and tomorrow'S opener
against the Cleveland Indians at
Detroit, Manager Cronin an.
nounced he would stick to his
original choices of Tommy Thomas
and Lefty Walter Stewart, respec.
lively.
Unless Cronin changes his plans,
Bob Burke, Earl Whitehill and
either Gen. Alvin Crowder or
Monte Weaver will get the assign
ments in the remaining contests
on schedule this week.
