7 Up IN New York next week
flock of assorted major league
clubowners are going to draw
straws, cut cards, or what
ever they do to determine the destina-
tion of the ball players who come
out of the minors via the draft, and
Clark Griffith is one gent who will
pray that history repeats itself.
They always go through this ritual
on the eve of world series and last
year it may be recalled that Griffith
emerged with rights reserved on a
guy named Pete Appleton from
Montreal AS a minor Lacquer in 1885
Pete was hot stuff, but his value as a
major Lacquer was open for debate.
Now there isn't much doubt but that
Pete, as big-timer. still is hot stuff.
While the Nationals yesterday
swooped into undisputed possession Of
third place on the wings Of ninth
inning rally against Boston, our Mr..
Appleton chalked up his thirteenth
victory of the season as against nine
defeats. Furthermore, Pete proved
himself winner the hard way. 1t
was difficult to believe that, for the
paltry draft price of $500 potatoes,
Q winning pitcher could be picked up,
and so Appleton sat for long periods
on the bench before he got a real
chance.

HubbelI Has Little HeIp.

IT REMAINS to be seen whether one
great moundsman can carry the
Giants to victory in the world series
Except for the veteran knuckle-baller
Freddy Fitzsommons, the National
Leaguers have no other pitcher who
now appears capable of giving the cele-
brated exponent of the screwball much
support. Hubbell, If he holds his cur
rent form, may not need a great deal
OF help. but the series would have to
be prolonged to six or seven games to
give the Oklahoman a chance to carve
three winning performances.
The presence of Hubbell in the box
however, will make the Giants IA
vorites for the opener next Wednes-
day at the Polo Grounds. If he meas
ures up to expectations, the occasion
also may see the end OF the Yankee
winning streak in world series compe-
tition.
Col. Jacob Ruppert's riflemen have
not been stopped by opposing sharp.
shooters since 1925, the year the Yam.
KEGS dropped the verdict to Grover
Cleveland Alexander and the st. Louis
Cardinals In the seventh game.
They won four straight the next
year from the Pittsburgh Pirates, re-
peated against the Cardinals In 1928
That ended the old regime. the only
survivors Of which are Gehrig and
Tony Lazzeri. Under Mccarthy the
1882 Yankees walloped the Chicago
Cubs four in a row. If they can beat
Hubbell, they may blast their way to
another quick triumph but base ball
men will be astounded by any such
eventuaIity.

lust Needed A Chance.

NOBODY could blame anybody
much for Appleton's inactivity for
a great part of the season, for he had
been sent back to the minors by the
Reds, Indians, Yankees and Red Sox
in the past. Now, it develops, all
the guy needed was a bona-fide op-
portunity and, as National, he
eventually got it.
Unless it is as a relief pitcher,
Appleton's name won't be in any
more box scores this year. He wound
up his starting activities yesterday
when he held the Sox to six hits and
walked only one batter. while his
mates staged rally in the last inning
to score two runs and win 3-to-2 de-
cision. 1t is safe. then. to survey mis-
record as of the season and take
cognizance of a helpful cog in a
surprising ball team.
Only two teams hold the edge on
Pete for the year and they are the
Indians and White Sox Appleton
dropped three games and won none
against Chicago. but two of these were
lost by one-run margins. Against
Cleveland he won one of three games,
holding the Tribe to single run and
five hits to turn the trick.

Was Griffmen's Nemesis.

A MERICAN LEAUGE experience
= against Hubbell has offered moth
ing to bolster hopes of subjecting him
to any indignities. The screwball
southpaw beat the Washington Sena-
tors twice in the 1898 series. Still
memorable is his exploit of tanning
Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and
Cronin in succession. in the 1884 ALL
Star game at the Polo Grounds.
1t should be not only an interesting
but closely contested series, for sew
eral reasons. Throughout their pen
nant drive the Giants have done their
best against toughest opposition. They
have better double play combination
and harder-hitting outfeld than the
Yankees. They lack the speed or the
all-around power Of the American
League champions. They have fewer
pitchers who seem in effective shape
for the series, but they have the key
man in Hubbell.

The Same Old Pebble?

- rushing to Wilson'S. rescue and
but for the same pebble that helped
Washington to its only world cham
pionship in 1924 Fritz would have
turned in one of the great relief jobs
Of the year.
With the infield and outfield drawn
close, Fritz forced Kuhel to bounce to
Melillo. Then he walked Johnny Stone,
but whitfield the dangerous Cecil Travis.
When Ossie Bluege sent soft ground
er to Werber at third it looked to be
al over and tied up.
Just as Werber reached for the ball,
however, it struck a pebble reminiscent
Of that which Earl McNeely hit in
1924 to win the series from the Giants.
werber got his bare paw on the ball,
but 1t was too late for q play, Chap
man having scored with the winning
run. To think that, after IL years Of

THIS kind of q sustained per-

for several years of pulling cards from
behind your ear and turning the queen
Of spades into q deuce Of diamonds.
But somehow, as the American League
campaign forges to Its close and the
Nationals not only stay but climb in
the first division, you wonder if there
Is not another magician on the loose
within the outfit.
If so, he would be Clark Griffith, who
has sat back and pulled the front-of-
fice strings on probably the most sur
prising major league ball club OF the
year. When the Nations leading poll
last Spring picked every team in the
circuit except the AS to beat out the
Washingtons the reason advanced was
that Griff had no pitching.
His outfield and infield were
rated adequate and nobody ques-
toned the power, which bowed
only to the punch Of the Cham
pion Tigers in 1885. But every
body wondered what Gri1 was
going to turn over to Bucky
Harris for pitching purposes.
Today the Nationals were in undis-
puted possession of third place. They
also boasted victory No. 80 for the sea
son, and If anybody had suggested
they would win that many last April
he would have been given the hee-haw.
And the reason. unless you have kept
pretty close tab on them, will knock
your eye out. 1t is, Of all things,
