CascareIIa Is Years Goat,

NONE OF the pitchers figure. Jimmy
De Shong found his second season
as starter full of bumps and thorns.
He is gilt-edge cinch, however, with
IA wins and l3 defeats. to finish the
season with moro victories than any
other Washington pitcher.
For time Wes Ferrell promised to
win flock of games as a Nat, but he
slipped into a rut and couldn't get
out. Monte Weaver was great while
the weather was cool.
Meanwhile, what of the goats of
1887? Pete Appleton probably must
qualify. 4 year ago he won IA games
and lost nine on his fifth trial In the
majors. He compiled the best earned
run average on the staff. Now he has
only eight victories and IA defeats ;. Z.
virtually the reverse.
The prize goat, though, ought to be
Joe Cascarella. Opening-d pitcher
on April 20 and waived out of the
major leagues in Junel That was how
completely Croonin' Joe hit the skids.
Cascarella had = pretty good
fast ball and = fine curve and
change Of pace. He had poise,
good tenor voice and = lot Of
wisecracks.
He could do everything, almost,
except get the ball past the enemy
bats. No team in the American
League claimed him and, so the story
goes, the National League clubs did
net want him for the waiver price.
Clark Griffith practically sold him to
Syracuse for something like $500.
But he liked Joe, or something, and
finally consented to allow him to stick
in the majors by selling him to Cincin-
natl for $4,000.
Some of the cynics of base ball still
think that Syracuse will pay $500
for him =. and that Cincinnati will
sell.

Case of POSTAGE Due,

A MOTHER former Derby hope,
Postage Due, had to run for ST.
500 before he could gain brackets
this year.
The once speedy son of High Time
had quite record as 2-year-old and
was the best juvenile in Alfred G..
Vanderbilt's barn. Victories in the
United Hotel Stakes at Saratoga and
the Eastern Shore at Havre de Grace
had moved the colt to high rank
against such as Brevity, Red Rain,
Coldstream, Grand Slam, White Cock
ade and others. Young Vanderbilt
felt that he had a coming champion
for 1886. The year passed and Postage
Due had won only one race, that an
overnight event.
Still keeping faith, Vanderbilt ran
the colt against the best this Summer
and still the horse failed Finally the
stable gave up and got rid of him via
the claiming route and now the 4-year-
old Is trying to earn his keep with the
cheapest in the land. Such is horse
racing and its ups and downs.

all along the Giants were going to

Melton against the Yankees.
II couldn't pick any pitcher to beat

Melton has more of a chance to beat
them than Hubbell-and I'll tell YOU
why.
"Hubbell is great pitcher. I don't
have to say that. The records say it
for me. He's smart and he knows Just
how to pitch to every hitter in the
National League, but when he moves
in against a team like the Yankees
the biggest thing in his favor is that
he has delivery that is strange to
them, because there is no pitcher in
the American LeagA with screw ball
like his. Or anywhere else, for that
matter, guess.
well, the first time a strange club
looks at that screw ball, they don't
see 1t very we'll. and he goes along and
beats them without much trouble. But
the next time they see it they know
more about 1t. They know when to
wait for the break, and then nail it.
Last year, Hubbell beat the
Yankees in well pitched game in the
rain. BUT the next time they caught
up with him. And I think that this
year they will start right in where
they left of last year.
They may not beat him easily. No
club can do that when Hubbell is right
and he Is pretty sure to be right for
the series-but think they'll beat
him.
