RATES HUBBELL BEST TWIRLER;
 IS OVER DIZZY
Cardinals Moundmate Says Record Will Prove
 What He Says
DAYToNA BEACH, Fla, April

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, April 1. = Who is the greatest pitcher in major league baseball today - Southpaw Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants or right-handed Jer- cme Dean of the St. Louis Cardin- als?
 Ask Jim Winford, the Meeker, Okla, lad, who pals around On the Cardinal mound staff with Dizzy during the baseball season and goes home to pass the winter with Carl. Without hesitating, he'll say:
 "Hubbell"
 Then he'll explain:
 Look at the records.
 Say what you want to about wcn-and-lost averages. They don't tell the story The earned-run av- erages do. Dix is great pitcher, but he has long way to go to catch up with Carl"
 Meeker To Take Holiday
 That, you learn, is the somewhat prejudiced opinion of the 5S1 other inhabitants of the little Oklahoma town of Meeker. All 561 are look ing forward to the day when Meek CTS pitchers No. l and 2-Hubbell and Winford, respectively start against each other.
 That was the biggest day for Meeker since the time in 1883 when Winford's tossing won the little world series for N Columbus while Hubbell was beating the Washing ton Senators.
 Young Winford's rise to the ma jors was even more complicated that Hubbell's. He did get off to a good start. though-twirling one hitter for Scottsdale in the Middle Atlantic League in his first pro game. That was in '29.

 What about Winford's salary? The Cards should have just about doubled it over last year.
 They did just about. I'm sat isfied.
 They called me into St. Louis late in 1895 and I stopped the CuE streak of 21 games, remember? Won 7-5, in Il innings.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 1.-Softball won't train talent for the hardball majors, but the flourishing young pastime will have its own world series-for amateurs only-and will field 100000 players who will pay around $l25 100000 for equipment in l937--
 Take the word of George Sisler, the great old big-time first base man who turned to softball and dis covered it intriguing - and profit able.
 , One hundred and twenty-five million dollars seems like a fabu- lous figure for uniforms and equip ment, but considering that 1l,000,- 900 boys and girls--and some papas and mamas-will be out there try ing to hit underhand sinkers and curves with puny stick next summer, the total outlay divides ur to less than SIP per head.
 Sisler made his predictions fol the 1897 campaigns as both presi- dent of the American Softball as. sociation and as an optimistic busi- ness man who supplies the goods and promotes the game. A softball world championship series. he says, will be the out growth of cooperative negotiations between his association and the Amateur Softball association head quartering in Chicago. Sisters group will stage it's annual national tour nament here next September with approximately 60 teams from all parts of the land on hand. Pros Don't Fit In Sisler who made first-basing his tory with the St. Louis Browns and Boston Braves, declares the fast growing game now has more fol- lowers and participants than its nearest rival, basketball.
 He frowns at the mention of pro- fessional softball and predicts re- treat from the small headway" al- ready made by teams which bang the oversize horsehide for profit.
 Pro softball won't go" he insists "Softball is low-priced game. and pay for the players would take away the zip. There are some travelling teams but the money is just not there.p
 Remission prices for softball av- craze dime, with two-bits as tops for championship coptests. Sisler says larger admission fees and bigger playing fields would be nec- fessary for profitable pro games. T don't believe" he says, that persons sitting as far away as the outfield bleachers would get any

 Produces a Pitcher

 'Softball benefits baseball in a
 commercial way but does not help
 the national pastime in the way of
 training players. The softball player does acquire poise, alertness. sports nanship, and other qualities found n any athletic contest: but his ability to handle the larger, softer ball is of no use in baseball" says Sisler, who ought to know. He named one softball player who gra- duated to baseball--Al Fisher, St. Louis Cardinal pitcher who will be with Houston of the Texas league I this season. 'Ia sse "Ft
 Sisler said softball stimulates gen. eral interest in sports and thereby enlarges baseball crowds.
 Only minor rules changes are likely for the 1897 season. One pro- posal would move the pitcher back two and half feet--to 37la feet from the batter. The change is de- signed to produce more hitting. !

Four years ago, John Wander
 Nicer played the part of the Typical American Boy in a National League educational film. The boy has grown up. Today he is bent on win- ming regular berth on the Cincin- nati Reds pitching staff.
 Wander Nicer comes to the Reds lafter being named the outstanding
 minor league player of 1886. The young lefthanded giant earned the
 distinction with the Durham team
 of the Piedmont league.
 Blinding speed enabled him to
 lead every league in strikeouts-with 295. Although he did not join Dur
 ham until June l, he was able to chalk up IS victories for the Bulls
 He was charged with six losses dur | ing the regular season. He was credited with two victories and one defeat in the playoffs.
 He led the Piedmont League in effectiveness with an earned-run average of 2.65 per Ginning game. Wander Nicer nearly achieved an- other distinction, which would have been dubious, to say the least. when he nearly led the circuit in bases on balls. A teammate, Hamilton, nosed him out for the honor of be- ing the leagues No. philanthro-
 pist, however Hamilton issued 116
 Annie Oakleys in 214 innings-ex- actly two more free tickets than
 Wander Nicer passed out.
 Wander Meer's wildness reacts in
 his favor, for, accompanied by a spectacular strikeout record, it in-
 dicates he has plenty of natural stuff. Because he was even wilder at Nashville than he was later at Durham, he was transferred to the Bulls. At Nashville he walked 25 in g innings, and tossed five wild ones.
 Wander Nicer has one odd record to his credit. He walked 16 men in one game when hurling for Scran- ton of the NY.-Penn League in '34. Yet he won, 2-1.
 He started his pro baseball career in '39 with Dayton of the Mid-At- lantic. He was with Scranton in '34 and '35. He was purchased by Nashville, optioned to Durham, and bought by the Cincinnati Reds. Be- cause the Reds had to buy his con- tract from Nashville, it cost them plenty of Powel Crosley's money to buy a man from their own farm, Durham being a Red ranch.

WARNING TO BICYCLIsTs

Pointing to national figures show
ing that nearly 500 bicyclists were
killed and some $4,000 injured last
year, the Keystone Automobile Club
of Maryland reiterates it's warning
against undisiplined cycling, coupled
with demand that police authorities
take action to prevent further TRACED
les.
The principal hazard in connection
with cycling, Garrison P. KnoxMan-
ager OF the Cub, said, is the absence
of lights on many cycles used by boys
and girls after nightfall. "One can
scarcely drive anywhere at night
without nerve jolting experience
with unlighted bikes" he declared.
Children of tender age are entrust-
ed with these devices by indulgent
parents and permitted to ride around
on roads heavily travelled by motor
vehicles. The wonder is that the
number of casualties is not much
greater. Police should act to pre-
vent lightless bikes from operating.

Drowned In Flood Waters
Raging storm Causes Widespread
Damage

Two men are believed dead in food
waters that followed heavy rains
Monday night, laying waste thous-
ands of acres of farm land in the
vicinity of Newark, Del.
The missing men are Frank Ridge
way and Harry Uselton, of Pond
town, Md They were last seen late
Monday in their automobile when 1t
was swept from the highway by the
food waters of White Clay creek at
Cooch's Bridge, near Newark. Their
car was found $50 feet off the road,
in corn field.
Two other men, who took TO trees
along the highway when they we're
forced to abandon their automobile,
reported the fate of Ridgeway and
Uselton to James Irving Dayett,
whose farm borders the road at that
point.
These two were obliged to spend
more than four hours in the trees
when efforts to rescue them by
means of a small boat failed, due to
the swiftness of the current. They
finally climbed down and waded to
safety when the waters receded,
shortly after dawn.
Live stock and crops paid heavy
toll, with dead poultry floting in the
food waters of small creeks and
drowned cattle and other live stock
damned by the force of the water
with debris against the abutments of
torn-out bridges.
Nearly every secondary road over
25-square-mile area southwest of
Wilmington was under water. Prop
erty damage will probably reach into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad
tracks were washed out north of
Newark, and their main line traffic
was operating over the Pennsylvania
south of Wilmington. Several small
washouts on the Pennsylvania caused
delays up to four hours ON their
crack trains.
More than 40 occupants of houses
in the low farm lands bordering the
north side of the Christiana were
taken from their homes in row-boats
by rescuers working until nearly
daylight. Many motorists were
obliged to abandon their automobiles
ON Delaware highways, and in the
Eastern shore area, which also was
inundated in many sections.
The washouts on the Pennsylvania
occurred mostly between Stanton
and Davis, about three miles below
Stanton They interfered with the
main line passenger traffic badly for
several hours, Gripping two of the
three tracks altogether for time.
Service on the third track had to be
temporarily suspended when a short
circuit developed in the two-way sig
nal system. Service was practically
normal" the company announced,
shortly after Ii a. m.
