FAILURE TO CALL
LOW ONES RIGHT
RUINED HUBBELL
BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK. Oct. z Q.N.S)'
II the Yankees, champions Of the
world and kings Of all the baseball
they survey, were willing to admit
it, they probably would tell you
today that they were extremely
lucky to be holding a one to moth
ing edge in games over the Giants
in the World Series.
The Giants, slightly riled.
readily admit that they got none
the best Of it in the opening game
yesterday. Their complaint is
that Emmett Ormsby, being an
American League umpire, won't
call a low Strike-the kind Hub
bell pitches around . bstter's
knees.
AS proof Of their argument the
Giants point to the ludicrous fact
that Lefty Gomez, a VIGOROUSLY
crude artisan at the plate, even
for a pitcher, equalled the World
Series record yesterday by draw.
ing two bases on balls in that
sixth inning which gave the
Yankees an 8-to-1 victory.
Hubbell had pitched five superb
innings. Then, all Of sudden, the
world crashed down around his
earS-and the Giants insist that
Umpire Ormsby is at least partly
to blame.
Gus Mancuso. Giant catcher,
pulled no puncheS-and at the
same time quite obviously at
tempted no alibi-in saying that
Hubbell's low stuff was brushed
off by Ormsby as balls, when
strikes should have been called.
Those American League UNI.
pireS are not used to low ball
pitching like we get at the Polo
Grounds with the stands
crowded right down on the foul
lines, making it necessary that
you pitch low or have every
pitch turned into a home run in
the stands" Mancuso said.
And they won't call a strike
down around a batter's knees"
The Giants missed their biggest
opportunity to pile up a lead in
the fifth. In that inning they
made a brace Of singles and a
double, yet it added into only one
run, a double play and a foul fly
that missed being a double by
inches wrecking their chances.
It's barely possible that Lefty
Gomez had something to do with
the final outcome, too, considering
that he has never been beaten in
a world series game-after four
startS-that he won 81 games last
season to set the pace on the
American League, and that he al.
lowed only six hits yesterday.

BARTELL FEELS BAD

Bartell feels terrible about drop
ping a throw during the Yankee
uprising yesterday.
Guess tried to put the ball on
Gomez before 1 had it," he says
ruefully.
Hub, more sad-faced than ever,
sits naked on rubbing table, head
bowed seems pale and drawn
but he blameS nobody {.
neither Bartel nor the umpire . e. {.
and he offers no alibi :. admits
the Yanks are a great club and
says DiNdaggio is about the tough
est hitter he ever faced. {. cts al
most impossible to fool him with
anything" says Hub. I'D rather
pitch to anybody than to him. He's
just plain poison for any pitcher"
Giants all admit Gomez was ex.
tremely fast Joe Moore says,
He didn't show me much Of a
hook. but he certainly poured that
fast one in there" Mel OFT,
disguised with himself, says,
"Shucks, Gomez threw me couple
right down the middle and I
couldn't even get a loud foul"
Most of the Yanks are laugh
ing all talking at once ex-
cept Gehrig, who is still coughing.
Lazzeri'S accepting four new
auto tires given him for his homer.
LEFTY AWFUL FAST
Bill Dickey says, Lefty was aw-
full fast out there today just
about as fast as he ever is" .
Somebody asks Gomez if he thinks
he can repeat against the Giants
and the not-so-goofy Gomez re-
plies, I'm not making any predic-
tions. Please remember Dizzy
Dean isn't with this ball club"

Shoulda called it an error for
me :"
Every Yankee is eager to pay a
tribute to Hubbell All agreed
he was just as fast as last year

as hard to hit >.

good a pitcher as he ever was
ANY time you get hit off him

BY AL SCHACHT
Former Washington Senator
Pitcher and Coach

written Expressly for Interna.
tional News Service)
NEW YORK, Oct. THE New
York Yankees have a one game
lead over the Giants in the World
Series today and I finally am off
my pins and needles. For q time
yesterday, I thought the Giants
would have to call on me-even
me, I might say-to get the side
out, after Hubbell, Gumbert and
Coffman all had taken their turns.
AL Smith finally ended it.
To me, Carl Hubbell pitched one
Of the greatest games 7 ever saw,
in spite Of the fact that the
Yankees got him out Of there. He
kept the Yanks from bunting in
that sixth and it just happened
that they made hits instead and
with them won the ball game.
And I'm not trying to take any
thing away from the Yanks.
Needless for me to add they make
up one Of the greatest teams Of
all time.
The Yanks are the kind Of clue
against which you've got to get
some breaks or you simply don't
win. Still, Hubben had them
worried. After the Giants scored
their one run, the Yanks were
playing for one run themselves
trying to tie the score and that
shows you what kind Of a pitcher
Hubbell is.
Not many make them play for
a single run when they have four
or five men capable Of knocking
all the pickets off the fence out
there.
AS for Gomez, he pitched an al.
most perfect game. And on the
final count he deserved to win. He
kept the score down and his hit
tiers made runs for him. You
can't beat that combination. At
least the Giants couldn't.
Summing it all up, we all make
mistakes sometimes, and the
Giants have made theirs in having
to face the Yankees.

'28 when the Rupert Rifles
swept through the series in
straight games against Pittsburgh
and st. Louis. He was ever a
terror in the pinches, fighting all
foes with the ardour of his for
bears who marched behind Caesar.
In the series last year Tony tied
a record that had stood since
1920. He hit a home run with the
bases full. Only Elmer Smith Of
the Cleveland Indians had done
that. He drove in four runs in
an inning: five in a game to
create a record shared with him
by Bill Dickey. Not even the
mighty Babe Ruth ever did what
Tony did, and the Babe did plenty
when he was in there swinging.

Tony fielded well in the opening
battle with the Giants. His per-

and a testimonial to the cunning
and to the generous spirit Of Joe

He knew the fighting, flaming
spirit of the veteran Tony.

OF the Yankees, said when Lazzeri
first came up that Tony, and not
Ruth, would decide the fate of the
YankS.
IF Lazzari plays as I think he
will play. we will win the pennant,"
Hug said in 1926.

Tony Lazzeri. the gallant
"Poosh 'em Up" Tony of the
Yankees, inscribed his name upon
the records Of world series play,
high among the money players;
the men who have what it takes
in the pincheS.
In what probably is his last
world series, the old "Walloping
Wop" blasted one Of AL Smiths
specials out of the lot for a home
run. True, it wasn't needed to
win the ball game, but it served
as one more testimonial to the in
domitable will to win Of Lazzeri.
He swung his bat against the
Giants and against the crowding
years. He swung his bat against
the libel Of an incident that has
become almost a tradition in base
ball.
Tony Lazzeri struck out in his
first world series, right there on
Yankee Stadium, against the Car
dinals in 1926. He was a fresh

Redding. Ralph Culinan, Allan

original settings and costumes will
decorate the play.
"Parnell' deals with those stir

Charles Stewart Parnell. was fight
