N only did the Giants get big

cash and glory through poStponement

of the same assistance may enable
Carl Owen Hubbell to do the 'impos-
sible" by single-handedly pitching a
team to the title.
Back near the turn of the century
fellow named Christy Mathewson
established an enduring high for
slabbing effectiveness through the
medium of a trio of shut-outs that
made it easy for those early vintage
Giants to conquer formidable ag-
gregation of Athletics.
Employing what was termed a
fadeaway, the right Matty
thoroughly dominated the situation
when he was officiating, but he had to
lean on a moundmate for the other
essential victory.

one winning pitcher from his

will have the Yankees clinging to the
edge of a precipice by their finger
nails.
The second games postponement
gave King Carl Hubbell an extra day
Of rest. and this extra day in q brief
series can be vitality important. With
either Schumacher or Fitzsimmons
digging up victory for the Giants,
Hubbell will be in a rare spot to make
it three out of four. King Carl still
looks like King Kong to the Yankees.

world all working in his favor, Carl
Owen Hubbell stands a fair chance
now of emerging from this series as
one of the outstanding heroes in the
history of the annual affair. He Is a
pretty good bet to win his second start
and if he does the trick Carl may get
a third crack at the Yankees and be-
come the only Southpaw in series an
mails to win three games
But, as far as picking Hubbell to
wind up with halo as Giant saviour,
it is natural. A dark horse" for
similar honor in the Yankee camp,
our own Alvin (Jake) Powell, grad
ually is being suspected by observant
series eyewitnesses as possible stand
out on ball club furnishing far more
competition to any single individual
than the Giants do to Hub.
On the Yanks you must out
shade Di Maggie and Gehrig
and Dickey and Gomez and at
least two or three others.
The trend toward regarding Powell
thusly is not without reason. Already
Jacob has Dashed two singles and a
double of Hubbell and, typically
cocky, he promises more fireworks.
Moreover, when you take the guy
apart, you find there is reason to be-
heve he might carry on. As different
from Hubbell as day is from night,
Jake nevertheless is just the kind of
guy who might do a lot of things
in world series.
They Strike Sharp Contrasts.
IF Powell should happen to threaten
the claim of Hubbell to the halo,
he will present striking contrast to
the lean left-hander from the Ozarks.

easy to hit as a snipe in a midnight
swamp.
In the face of this somber picture
the Yankees can't afford to let an
other Giant pitcher run the blockade
before Carl moves into the rifle pit
for his second start.
With this extra day OF rest tossed
into the big act, Bill Terry and his
Giants are confident that Hubbell can
win three games. He will need out
side help on at least one occasion, and
If he can get this help the Yankee
outlook won't be any too brilliant.
The value of this postponement to the
Giants cause is easy to see.

pass and a professional percentage
expert might run out of ciphers and
into a lame wrist in trying to figure
It out, but there will be plenty of
conjecturing along this line when,
and If, Hubbell hurls the Giants to
their second win.
Dallying with such dope could be
condoned on the score of its utter
immensity or justified by the sheer
magnificience of the thought vistas
unveiled, but perhaps it had better
be charged to forehandedness in the
indulgence of intriguing speculation.
Or, better still, dismissed as one of
the minor manifestations of bilious
attack.
Getting down out of the clouds,
however, there are certain signs and
portents that this series may evolve
into one of the most stubbornly con-
tested in the long history Of what it
once was au fait to refer to as Au-
tumnal classics.
That Hubbell Is the sole stand-out
in pitching way may be disproved
by none other than the Ruffing he
mastered in the opener. All Big Red
needs is a dry ball and firm footing
he has the class and the courage.
Rupert Rifles Primed.
OR 1T might be Schumacher or
Fitzsimmons. Or Gomez, Pear
son, Hadley or Malone. None of these,
considered merely off this seasons
glove. But each has, at some point
in his career, flashed the form essen
tial to world series stardom, and with
so much sugar at stake, might turn
on the heat and display really hot
hand.
It is inconceivable that any brand
Of box work consistently can muff1e
the Rupert rifles. With all that
heavy ammunition they are bound,
somewhere along the line, to break out
into rash of base hits for the issue
settling big innings that landed them
1912 games up on their closest pursuer
in the title chase.
Gehrig can't be bottled up by any
staff of singers for more than tilt
or two, and all young Di Maggie needs
is fair shake in the matter of luck
to function effectively. He connected
solidly twice against Hubbell Wednes-
day, and If that eighth-inning double
play drive hadn't gone directly to
Whitehead, it would have spilled the
beans for the Giants.
But while on the subject Of clout-
ing, it seems fitting to observe that a

No Chance to Rest.


HUBBELL had to scrap his way

ing, with only a one-run advantage
moving into the eighth. He had to
travel with all he could carry. There
are no breathing spells when you are
pegging slippery ball in the general
direction of Yankee bats.
Without Thursdays postponed ac-
ton Hubbell would have been called
to the colors again on Saturday. Now
he can take his regular seasons turn,
fresh and ready for his second whirl.
1t is no certainty. Of course, that

philosopher once said, THE race is
