That AlI-Star Game Here.

HOW great an inroad the year,
and the strain of continuous spot
pitching have made in Hubbells eff.
fectiveness I do not know. But II
may not be without significance that
this year, for the first time since the
games were inaugurated, he failed
against the American League hitters
in the all-star clash.
I have thought several times, par
ticularly in view OF Hubbelrs recent
staggering, OF something Red Rolfe
OF the Yankees said when I ran across
him in the Union Station in Wash
ington that evening as We were head
ing back to New York. Red made a
three-ba hit off Hubbell which. in
the final analysis, really sent the Ma
tional Leaguers crashing to defeat,
and I asked him how Carl had looked
to him. Red shook his head
Il don't know what was wrong with
him." he said, but he wasn't the
Hubbell we faced in the world series
last Fall. Even the day we beat
him in the world series he was a
great pitcher. But ne wasn't a great
pitcher today. He didn't have bis
stuff. and ne didn't have his control. "
1t was terribly hot during the recent
all-star game and l asked Red If he
thought the heat had hampered Hub
bell. Il don't know" he said "All
know is that it wasn't the Hubbell
I hit against last Fall"

Slump of meal Ticket" of
Giants Natural After 10

~ ARL HUBBELL'S recent difn-
culties with enemy hitters
have caused some of the base

ing unwilling to come right out and
say so-that the Giants great left

that Carl isn't merely losing ball

is being pasted solidly and that he
digs pitfalls and traps for himself with
his wildness.
This may be true. It is hard TO tell
when a really great pitcher like Hub
bell really has lost his stuff. Maybe
this is just a slump. from which the
screw ball manipulation will emerge
with all his old magic on the ball
again. Surrey Carl is emitted TO a slump.
He hasn't had one for years.
Indeed. there was a time not so
very long ago. when the young men
writing base ball used to say, face
tiously, that Carl was in slump II

two hits in a row.
