gone before, you wonder if there ever
will be another like it.
First and foremost is the streak OF
Carl Hubbell, ace of all southpaws,
ace of all pitchers in organized base
ball, if you will. Although President
Ford Prick of the National League
has attempted to nullify the record
aspect of Hubbell's 81 victories Cat
this date), the scribes are going ahead
to give him full credit, even though
he is bridging the season.
It still is mark if you accept it
on a two year basis. No pitcher in
baseball ever has won 81 games in
a row, no matter how many months
or years you take for your reckoning.
And one fan in the east has come
up with an apt remark-"If Hubbell's
performance isn't a record, what about
Lou Gehrig's consecutive game mark
of playing in better than 1900 straight
contests?"
Streaks-look at Milwaukee. I'm
defeated in more than 20 games at
home, romping away to an early lead
in the American Association that is
confounding the critics. Your cor
respondent here has received his
share of gliding, for he picked them
to fight it out for fourth place in the
double A race. Well, the month of
May does not constitute a flag cam
paign and perhaps the folks would
just as soon close up shop and call
the season officially ended June LIST.
If that were to hold true, then in
truth would the Brewers be cham
pions. AS it is however, we urge the
playing out of the string just to see
what happens. Milwaukee certainly
will not run away with this pennant
race by September, even though it
should win.
You know streaks are made up
Queerly. They are not always to
the strong. Back more than decade
ago, the New York Giants won q
straight games in the National
League-and did not win the pennant.
In 1927, Milwaukee won 81 straight
in the Association and finished sec
ond or third. 1t is matter of &C
celerative locomotion (my, my, such
technical language) rather than sheer
power 1t is an old adage in base
ball that a winning team can do no
wrong and a losing team can't win
for losing. Look at Milwaukee with
its ninth inning rallies when its
cause seemed hopelessly lost. Look
at Carl Hubbell, batted out of the box
by the lowly Cincinnati Reds, yet
choosing time for an ascension when
the Giants were eight runs ahead and
coaSting in.
When team is winning, its errors
are minimized. When it is losing
every kick of a ground ball turns
itself into an enemy tally.
Speaking of streaks, one of the
greatest was Walter Johnson's feat of
hurting around so consecutive innings
without granting run. And remem-
Der the remarkable ST. Paul pitch
ing work against Kansas City few
year back; Slim Harriss pitched a no.
hit game against the Blues at Kan
sas City. The next day Russ Van
Alta stepped to the mound for the
Apostles and did not grant a basehit
until the eighth inning.
That made 16 consecutive frames
without hit by Kansas City bat
ter. 1t was enough to make the fans
streak right out of the park.
