Babson Park, Mass, May 15.-To-
days biggest problems-Federal de-
ficits, unemployment, building mac
tivity-are inseparably bound up to-
gether. Some people feel that unem-
ployment is the root of our troubles.
Others think that relief costs and
public deficits are holding back the
country. A third group believe that if
we could get building back to normal,
our hardships would be over. There
is a lot to be said for all three view

Since March, 1888, the so per cent

course, normal is well below the 1929

because employment has not made a
corresponding gain. There is, how

Two Others in Running.

A S FAR as the experts are con-
cerned, only two other clubs-the
New York Giants and the Pittsburgh
Pirates-can be considered to have
even a remote chance of figuring in
the championship this Summer. The
Giants were given 13 votes for first
place and Pittsburgh, prospective
dark horse" of the campaign, re-
ceived three.
The Pirates. incidentally, proved to
be the toughest club of them all for
the poll participants. Pie Traynor's
hopefuls, banking on a powerful at
tack, led again by the 1885 batting
champion, Floyd (Arky) Vaughan. and
improved pitching, were given votes
for every position but seventh. The
bulk of their ballots, however, were for
fourth place and they are ranked
there, a notch behind the Giants.
Although Cincinnati'S rejuvenated
Reds drew strong support, the Brook
lyn Dodgers were picked to head the
second division. The experts evidently
figured that such deals as those that
brought Fred Farmhouse and Ed
Brandt to Brooklyn, plus the startling
comeback of big George Earnshaw,
would give the Dodgers enough pitch
ing strength to Offset defensive weak

wanta play? Nav, found umpiring
was more fun"
He never played much Of any sport
until he went to Centenary College.
There he found that he wasn't al
lowed to umpire and so, for lack of
something to do, he played foot ball
for Bo McMillin. When Bo moved to
Geneva, so did Hubbard.
Cal, who now is 35, didn't graduate
from college until he was 81, which
was a late age to begin a pro foot ball
career. But he found that the salary
of a minor league umpire wasn't
enough properly to take care of a
wife and two kiddies and so he joined
the Giants Of the National League.
The following season he went to the
Green Bay Packers and put in six
years as offensive tackle and defensive
fullback.
Umpiring Best Of Jobs.
MEANWHILE, ali the time he kept
moving up as an umpire. He
went from the Piedmont to the South
Atlantic to the Western and, finally,
to the International League, where he
attracted the attention of Tom Con-
molly, umpire in chief of the American
League He was signed last Winter
to call 'em in the big show.
"Gawsh, it's what I always wanted
to do" grinned the big guy. I'D
rather umpire than play foot ball or
base ball any day. It's the most
fascinating thing in the world. I
thought enough of umpiring to give
up a coaching job at Texas A. and M,
which is next best to me-"
Oh, yeah, he said he had two fights
in his life. The second?
Jaw, a fight promoter in Green Bay
offered me $500 to fight a guy six
rounds, thinking it would draw lot

dough, so I went ahead.

thing I had. At the end it was

POLL DROPS CUBS
TO SECOND PLACE
Giants, BUGS Only Others
Given Shot at Pennant
in National League.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

N YEW YORK, April "A two
N club race for the National
VI League pennant, with the St.
L Louis Cardinals dethroning
the Chicago Cubs by a narrow mar
gin, was forecast today by the Ma
tion's base ball experts, casting ballots
In the Associated Press tenth annual
poll.
In as close battle of ballots as the
poll has ever seen, 43 of the SO sports
editors and base ball writers who par
ticipated cast their first-place ballots
for the "gashouse gang" led by the in
imitable Deans and bolstered by the
of-season acquisition of Leroy (Bud)
Parmelee, fast-ball right-hander.
The Cubs, who won the 1885 flag
with spectacular 21-game winning
streak in the closing month of the
campaign, were placed second despite
the fact that they will get away from
the barrier two weeks hence with vir-
tually the same array that performed
so sensationally year ago.
The Cubs received 80 first-place bal
lots, but Charley Grimm's champions
can take heart from the fact that the
1885 poll established the Cardinals as
favorites and ranked the Cubs no bet
ter than third.

SHOWS FINE HOOK

Nat SouthpaW's Arm Seems
in Trim-RusSeII Hurls
Pleasing Term.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star,


n II AEON, Ga, April 2.-Another
M stable hunk of pitching
V cloud was in a fair state CT
4 L evaporation today as the
transforming Washington ball club
slowly moved homeward with hopes
rapidly mounting.
In way, Earl Oliver Whitehill, tenn
peramental veteran who for three
straight years has been the best pitch
er of the Nationals, was the biggest
hurting question in Spring training
until the last few days. In the first
place, Whitehill is 36 years old. In
the second place, his total of hits al
lowed during the last couple of years
hardly was flattering, despite his
ranking on the Washington staff. And
in the third place the terrible-tem-
pered Mr.. Whitehill was having arm
trouble.
Thus. with all recent performances
carefully weighed, including yester-
days 80 win over the Reds-first
shutout of the year for the Griffmen-
1t becomes quite joyous chore for
Manager Bucky Harris to observe that
it looks as though Whitehill is due for
an effective year.
One thing that Whitehill's trio of
grapefruit league tests to date has
done is wipe away all miSgivings that
were felt by Harris and President
Clark Griffith when they steadfastly
refused to swap the fiery Iowan last
Winter for Les Tietje of Chicago.
Tietje was not a great pitcher, but
he was young and had possibilities
when Jimmy Dykes placed him on the
trading block and mentioned Whitehlll
as the bait that would land him.
Tietje seemingly fit far better the
Washington clubs way of doing things
in this year of the great rebuilding.

he was asked.
Hubbard's big face with a square
chin crinkled a little. II don't like

don't see any way out. Yeah, I had
two regular fights in my life and that's
all I intend to have had when I die.
The first was when was umpiring
in the Piedmont League. The fans of
Macon were riding me and, in what I
thought was kidding way, the Macon
fight promoter came to me and said,
How about matching you on a fight
card so the fans can see an umpire

Russell Picks I'm, Too.

TOR the first time this year White
hill really was fast. His sweeping
curve became a definite hook as he
faced only 18 of the Reglegs in the five
frames to lead the Griffs to their first
victory in three starts against the Ma
tional Leaguers. He famed three of
the Reds and personally tossed out
three more when they hit feeble drib-
bles toward the box.
His mates, stopped cold by AL Hol-
lingsworth early in the game, rose up
in the fourth inning to score four runs
on singles by Kress, Stone, Bolton and
Myer and a double by Hill.
Russell, intrusted with the task Of
protecting the lead, did his job nobly,
flashing, for the first time, his new
wind-up and undoubtedly increased
effectiveness. In the last four frames
Jack faced only IA Reds and never
permitted runner past first base.
The bulk of Washington's remain
ing runs were counted in the sixth in
ming on a walk to Hill, doubles by
Estalella and Reynolds and single
by Stone. The latter's blow, Incl
dentally, struck HollingSworth on the
arm and forced him to retire in favor

Finally RepainS Stuff.


THIS conclusion was not evident at
the outset. Last of the Griff slab
bers to make an exhibition game ap-
pearance, Whitehill did not debut
until March %, month after train
ing camp was opened. In that
game he shut out Montreal for two
innings, but was blasted for four runs
In his third and final frame.
1t was performance that left Har-
ris neither hot nor cold. Four runs in
three innings is not so good, but a
wild throw by Buddy Lewis. opening
Montreal's big inning off Whitehill,
directly was responsible for the scor-
Ing OF two unearned runs.
Earls next start, this time against
the Cardinals four days later, was
more of success. He hurled three
innings Of runless ball. but in the next
frame he gave up three runs on four
hits. But, again, there was reason for
giving Whitehill the benefit of any
doubts. Three Of the four safeties
made by the Cards in their big inning
were flukes off bats that were broken
by impact at the handle.
Then, yesterday, the veteran really
came into his own. He had no excuse,
nor was one needed. He eSsayed five
full innings under poor conditions
against Cincinnati at Cordele, Ga;
gave up only four hits, and was enjoy
ing 4-to-0 lead when he turned the
pitching over to Jack Russell.

times may have smacked of pickle
