Di Maggio Family Present.

1T WAS brother Dominick who
brought Papa and Mamma Di
Maggie East from San Francisco to
watch the series. Dominick is 10
years old, fresh from his first season
Of double-A ball in the Coast League.
Papa Di Maggie is a base ball fan.
Mamma Di Maggie can take the
pastime or leave it alone. but she has
weakness for right-handed Yankee
outfielders named Joe.
Mamma don't talk any English"
explains Dominick, before the game
begins. Not much. anyway. She
says she can talk Italian to her own
family, and who else does she want
to talk to?"
How about your father?"

Maggie gives him the signal to bat

not good. But he knows this game.
He didn't know a thing about it when

On to Gomez.

VERNON GOMEZ, seven years
younger than Hubbell, had fin
shed his tenth professional season.
In the opener he stood where Hubbell
was five years ago in competition.
For the first four innings he
matched the meeker magician. He
had retired IL Giants in order until
he skidded in the fifth when they
caught him for two singles and a
double, where a fast double play held
the Giant rally to one run.
But for Gomez, time and years
that pile up were working in his
favor. He had the stamina left to
pick up again and keep moving on.
After that one lapse he came bound
Ing back again-and he also had a
6-run lead to work on-a lead that
removes all strain.
Gomez today is where Hubbell was
FOUR or five years ago. At the age of
~ years-27 against 34-he had the
stamina left to meet the occasion.
One of the best of all world series
workmen, cool, game and dependable
in pinch, he won his fourth world
series start without a defeat. He had
more to call on. Where Hubbell had
averaged As games a season, Gomez
had averaged 35. And he had Yankee
bats back Of hin1-a big difference
from Giant bats.

Everything But Stamina.

FOR the first five innings in the new
world series opening game King
Carl OF Meeker. Okla, was the King
Carl OF other years. For these first
nve innings he held the hard hitting
Yankees in the hollow of his clammy
left hand as he stood them on their
dizzy heads. He held them to a lone
single by Joe Di Maggie, who can hit
rifle bullet, and he had just retired
IA members of murderers' row in order
as he closed out the fifth frame.
Here was the Hubbell we all used
70 watch-the Hubbell who once
struck out Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, SIM
mons and two other American League
sluggers in order in an All-Star game.
Six in a row.
But the tip-of came at the start of
the sixth. 1t came with Lefty Gomez
1t bat. Now Lefty Gomez happens to
De one OF the star pitchers of the
game. But, at the plate, he is no
Dl Maggie, Gehrig, Dickey or Lazzeri.
1t was an ideal spot for Hubbell not
meaning to pan Senor Gomez and his
batting eye. But the afternoon was
not and muggy. There was no life in
the sultry air. Hubbell suddenly had
grown tired. And tired athlete has
little or nothing left, no matter what
the sport. He couldn't get the ball
overland Gomez walked. That was
the tip-off. After that he had Moth
Ing left as Crosetti singled and Rolfes
single filled the bases. Di Maggie
sensed the change.
The San Francisco kid, no older
than Hubbell was when Carl pitched
his first professional ball, stepped into
the first pitch that came up and
belted 1t on line into left field as
Two Yankee runners came across. And
there was the ball game. For Hubbell
was through. There is no greatness
tnat can overcome fatigue against a
superior opponent. There is seldom
any rallying point in sport from which
a tired athlete can keep on moving
forward against killing odds.
For five innings Carl Hubbell had
proved that he still had everything
a star pitcher needs-except the nee
essary stamina after Is years of ac-
ton under fire. Under these condi-
tions the stoutest heart and the
keenest brain can call in vain for
something that is no longer there.
IL is like calling a ghost. I think
most of the 10000 sensed this in the
case OF Carl Hubbell as he took his
dropping shoulders from the box to
the showers. He needed no alibi-he
offered none.

BY GRANTLAND RICE.

n YEW YORK, N. Y, October T.
M The story of Carl Hubbell and
VI his defeat in the world series
4 opener is one of the Oldest
yarns in sport. 1t is the story OF time
and the years that pile up. You could
sense this In the sympathy of more
than $4,000 spectators at the Yankee
Stadium when his gaunt frame left the
held for the club house and the show
ers in the sixth inning that brought
him from the high clouds of possible
victory to the dust and mud of over
whelming defeat.
Carl Hubbell had just closed out his
fifteenth season as professional
pitcher, dating back to Cushing in
the Oklahoma State League, where he
started work in 1928.
For the last six years Hubbell has
been working in from 40 to so games a
year for the Giants. For the last five
years he has been their maintay, with
20 or more victories cashed in each
season.
In the campaigns of 1896 and 1887
ne ran up string of "a consecutive
victories. And then the old doc with
the scythe, better known as Time
began to beckon with the old, familiar
gesture.
He was knocked out in the all-star
game, where Yankee hitters told me
ne was far from the Hubbell who beat
them a year ago in one of his best
games. But still he kept on pitching
and winning his share.

Only Right And Fair

Those who were fortunate enough to hear the radio address of Superintendent of Schools Harold K. Chittcnden Of Naugatuck last week will agree that 1t Is high time that the state placed the Teachers Retirement System back on its former basis of reserves. Not since 1882 has the state paid into the retirement fund it's annual obligation. But despite the fact that for the state the system was suspended in 1882 teachers in Connccti- cut have been contributing annually their five per cent assessment.
 An effort ig going to be made to have the Legislature appropriate sufficient funds this year 10 cover the budget Item of the Teachers Retirement Board for the tWo-year period And at the same time there will be q strenuous effort made to have the state anortizc over q ten-year period the $l ,522,000 which g the sum owed since abandonment of the reserve system in 1882. IL ig not unrea- s0nablc tO combine these two requests and we rather hope that sufficient legis- latiyc support may be found 10 compel passage of both
 ! While there may bc fight over both and coupling of the two in one measure might mean the loss of both, we think that in this event the state should take steps 10 restore the reserve system. If we arc not mistaken both political parties are committed to this policy, And until the state does take the initiative, it Is actually forcing the teachers to assume the cnirc responsibility for the retirement fund This cannot be carried on indcf- initcIy Before it suffers serious jncon- veniencc, other than that already caused, we urge upon our legislators the need of restoring the reserve system and of de- Nsing ways to clean up the obligations put aside since 1882

There is much argument now in favor of . flat arms prohibition, for the world in general, to apply in any case of civil war. But what is civil war? If the Presi. dent is to have no choice whatever, the term "ciWl war" must be defined pre- cisely, and that is difficult thing to do.
 Insurrections or revoits occur occa- gionally fin Latin-American countries, some small and easily suppressed, others quickly growing to revolutionary strength. These same countries get guns, ammunition, etc, largely from American manufacturers. When an outbreak oc- CUTS, 1t is the established authority to be denied purchases of defensive weapons2 Then we are helping rebels against the established authority of friendly gov ernmcnt. Such things have to be worked out with great care. It is hard to sec how every case can be handled wisely unless the President is allowed some discretion.

Neutrality Troubles

Neutrality Is delicate business, as our government and every other government has found. tt seems fairly simple tO enact q neutrality law f0rbidding shipment of munitions t0 nations at War with each other. And t was, when nations made frank announcement Of their War status. But nowadays nations fight unofficial Wars without issuing declarations, n pro cedure ttat ties knots in international iaW.
 II s still more difficult where civil war Is concerned. The Spanish war is unofficial, for the jfisurgeflt party under General Franco has never made formal declaration Of war against the govern 1nent party. Our government has cut this knot by ( hat rule against shipping war supplies to Spain, without designating either side.
