Effect on Germany.

LhCCt OAl
THE 1886 Olympic games" the
official continued, will have
terrific effect on future athletes and
future athletics. We now are work.
ing hard developing our younger peo-
pie, boys and girls. The Germany
Of tomorrow has a chance to be the
greatest athletic nation in the world,
because it has the full support Of
the government. There isn't any op-
ton. Younger people have to take
part in some sport"
This is true" Ted Meredith cut
in. Meredith, Pennsylvania former
Olympic star, has been coaching the
Czechoslovakian team. You see Q
different build on young Germans to-
day from what you saw Just after
the war. They are not so bulky or
so chunky. They look more like ath-
letes."
Meredith disagreed with a German
expert who figured there was too much
inbreeding to develop nation capable
of matching the United States.
THE average American athlete Is
at least two inches taller than the
average athlete" the German said.
WED never seen anything like that
Washington crew, all over 6 feet 8.
! We are built all right for shot put
ting, hammer throwing and games
that call for power and bulk. But
we lack the range now. I mean the
the height, and don't think we'll
ever get it. For that reason We will
have a hard time getting sprinters
and jumpers. 1t takes more Of
blend than we'll ever get"
Sport will do that for ycu," Ted
Meredith said. You'll find that CIV
ing kids lot of games to play will
soon show results. It's something
Germany never did up to the war;"
Must Check Mass Athletics.
THERE is one mistake Germany
will have to watch. This is the
matter of too much mass athletics
where every one is treated alike. In
dividuals never are the same. They
demand different treatment. This is
especially true Of sprinters and jump
ers, who need more personal atten-
ton. You can't just lump big group
together and give them all the same
training and coaching. 1t won't work
when 1t comes to building up cham
pions. For all that, Germany has
come long way athletically in the
last few years. Remember, they'd
never won an Olympic first until this
last meeting, when they grabbed OF
two in the first two days.
These games will be big help
to most of the European nations. They
stirred up more interest than have
ever seen over here at any time in
the past and I've seen good bit OF
European athletics in the last 20
years"
Ted Meredith and other European
coaches feel quite sure that the recent
| Olympics will be a tremendous move
for everything connected with sport
on the Continent. They believe that
Europe will make dizzy strides In the
next few years. distinct challenge

FROM THE PRESS BOX
HubbeA of Giants Declared Greatest
Pitcher, but Dud for Conversation.

make out . case for the Die, all
right.
But where has he got an edge on
the slender hero Of my sermon? Physi-
cal strength? He certainly looks
stronger, but If you add up the total
innings the two men work per season,
If you consider the tremendous extra
inning duels in which Hubben never
weakens, If you think of the regu-
larity with which he takes his turn
and throws in relief jobs as well, you
come to the conclusion that the man
carries spare sets of muscles in each
pocket and under his hat.
Great Control Pitcher.
DEAN throws a faster ball, but Hub
bell doesn't need speed. He is
the greatest control pitcher since
Matty. Control is not measured in
bases on balls. 1t means pitching to
weakness, finding the corners, throw
ing in the dirt when you think you
can make your hitter swing. Control
is one part steadiness, one part nerve,
and one part intelligence.
There are no pitchers more intelli-
gent than Hubbell, and no better COM
petitors. It is chiefly Hubbell's fault
that the red-hot Giants are roaring
toward the top of the National League,
outstepping the Cubs and closing in
on the Cardinals. He has been stead
fast from the very start Of the drive,
winning eight straight games. When
the ball club refuses to make runs
for him (and it frequently does) he
calls on a new batch of nerve and
muscle and drives in the winning
scores himself. He is cool and keen
and perfectly steady.
Bill Terry calls him the
greatest pitcher he ever saw,
better than Grove and Nehf
and even johnson.
Men in base ball whose experience
goes back as far as the days of Mar
guard regard him as superior to the
big Rube, though Marquard always
has ranked as the classic McGraw
southpaw. Rube used to blow up
once in a while. Hubbell never does.
When he's beaten, he's beaten by q
run or two and the weak hitting of
his teammates.
Hubs hobby out of season is basket
ball, which he plays and teaches mas
terfully. As noted above. he says
almost nothing to anybody, unless 1t
is a necessary remark of q strictly
technical nature.
l mentioned before that I set out
to make him talk the other day. !
said, Hello" So did Hub. Then
the colossal futility of the under
taking occurred to me, and I went
back to the press box to watch him
pitch his game.
What you need to know about Hub
bell you can find out that way. He
says it with pitching.
