A 10 Season Strain.

RUT If Hubbell really is through-or
is veering rapidly toward a point
when he no longer will be Bill Terry's
best bet as the Cubs or Cardinals or
Pirates come storming into view-re-
member that Carl has been pitching
for long while and that fellow has
TO wear out some time. Nobody gave
a thought to the time element when
Huobell was tacking all those brilliant
pitching victories together, but now
that he is being showed and bumped
around, backward glance at the
record is inevitable.
This. in case anybody has overlooked
or forgotten 1t, is Hubbell's tenth year
as Giant-and behind those 10 years
lay > years of minor league pitching
during which he twice came up for
trials with the Detroit Tigers. Fifteen
years makes a long and firing haul
over the base ball trails, major or
minor, especially for pitcher, because
while a pitcher works only every four
or flve days as rule, he Is in the ball
game every minute and can take out no
time for loafing or easy breathing
even when he is winning. The hitters
are moving against him constantly
as soon as he gets rid of one, another
bobs up.
Burden on Carl Great.
a ID TO the ordinary physical and
mental wear and tear of pitching
tho y,
l pitcher Of the Giants over a l0-sea-
son span and you can get a fair idea
Of the burden he has carried. Only
once in the years since Hubbell came
up from Beaumont to join the Giants
have they been out of the fight for
the pennant. That was in 1882 when,
with John McGraw's health failing
and his influence over his players wan
Ing they fell into last place-and
wound up the campaign under Terry
locked in a tie for sixth.
In the other years they always were
there or hereabouts-winning the
pennant or being shaken of only In
the stretch. And always the man
on whom they leaned was Carl Hub
bell. He pitched the first game-and
sometimes the last game, too-of everv
vital series. He was the fellow who.
always moving with an even stride,
came along and picked them up when
they had stumbled. He kept them
out of losing streaks because. after
they had lost two or three games
in a row, he was always in there
hrlng the next day-and putting them
back in the winning column.
Ail-Star Truck Horse.
lie HAD to meet the heaviest
charges of the enemy hitters In
every campaign, because it is natural
for a hitter to bear down harder
against good pitcher than he does
against an ordinary pitcher-in self
defense, If for no other reason, be
cause he is up there protecting his
meal ticket-which is his batting
average against sharpshooter.
Hubbell carried the hopes OF the
National League in the all-star game
for five years-and when the Giants
got into the world series, as they did
IN 1888 and again in 1885, they hung
their main reliance on his supple left
arm.
In other words, Carl has been on
the spot continuously since July of
1928, because, from the very begin
ming Of his career at the Polo Grounds,
he so obviously was an extraordinary
pitcher that the writer's who followed
the team at that time were convinced
the Giants would have won the PEN
nant that year if they had had Hub
bell in April and May.

BRITISH BOOST
ARMY FUND

LONDON, March G.N.SO.
Showing a heavy increase over last
years figures, in line with the new
naval estimates, Britain's army es-
Inmates were published officially
today-and, even while the an
nouncement was being made, the
nations aerial expansion scheme
was snagged by strike.
The army estimates for 1878
we're announced at approximately
$315,600,O00, an increase over last
years estimates of $36, 6,195, 900.
1t was pointed out, however, the
total will in reality amount to
$410, 10000, because sos, ,270, 900
will be taken from the ConSoIi-
dated fund to assist expenditures
for army equipment and military
works.
The strike, which seemed to
have been timed to coincide with
the announcement of the esti-
mates, was regarded as a serious
blow to the British plan to increase
its military air establishment.
The walkout occurred. in the
Rolls Royce aero engine factory
at Derby-a key plant in the ex-
pansion plan since Rolls engines
have been specified for practically
all new Royal Air Force fighting
planes.

much of it quite difficult of per
formance. In rehearsal, no doubt
the orchestra will make an excel
lent showing, yet VIXEN a large

study of these works the end for

But when public performances are

SPAIN THRONE
PRETENDERS
DICKERING
By ALFRED ~YRNAUER

VIENNA, March 4 Q.N.S)
While a bloody civil war ravages
Spain and decimates its popula'
ton, the two pretenders to tie
Spanish throne are quietly dicker.
ing behind the scenes for the king
dom that has yet to be restored.
Former King Alfonso XIII. and
the Infant Juan are recognized by
the Spanish royaliSts as their fu.
ture rulers, while the CarlistS still
insist that heirs Of Don Carlos are
the rightful pretenders.
It depends chiefly on Alfonso
himself whether to claim the
crown he had lost, for himself Or
for his son, as far as his adher-
ents are concerned. Since 1888,
however, the Carlists have dis
puted this claim and have tenaci-
ously supported successfully Don
Carlos, his son, and grandson as
pretenders to the throne.
Names Successor
The last direct descendant Of
Don Carlos died last year in Aus
tria. Before his death, Prince
Alfonso Carlos de Bourbon ap-
pointed his nephew, Prince Xavier
Of Bourbon-Parma, his successor
and chief of the Carlists. This
was q heavy blow to the AlfonsistS,
who hoped that the dynastic
rivalry would perish with their old
childless opponent.
Prince Xavier of Bourbon-Parma
Is, however, the brother of Zita,
former Empress of Austria, and
thus has excellent connections
with all ruling houses of Europe
and, above all, the Vatican.
Alfonso is, of course, also related
to the Hapsburgs. But particularly
since the separation from his wife,
former Queen Ena, he is less popu-
lar with the Catholic Church.
Owing to the intimate connection
between the Church and General
Francois movement, the chances of
Prince Xavier are constantly i'm
proving.
Alfonso Weather
Alfonso, on the other hand, is
far more wealthy than Prince
Xavier. Though rumors that he
supported the rebels by financing
armament purchases abroad can
not be confirmed, it is obvious that
his association with certain lead
erS and financiers of the Fascist
revolution is not a platonic one.
Since Xavier became the choice
of the CarliStS, Alfonso has been
living chiefly in Italy, visiting
sometimes Austria, Germany and
Hungary. Prince Xavier spends
most of his time in Austria and
Italy. The pretenders met several
times in Vienna and it is claimed
that they signed a gentlemen's S
agreement concerning the Spanish
crown.
There was much conjecture as
to the nature of their agreement.
It is very probable, however, that
neither has renounced his claim,
and that their cooperation will be
a limited one.

ny OhnL LIE DEuAEk
With the overwhelming flood of
new orchestral cLmpoSitionS vying
with each other in the effort to
make the most noise, the greatest
disregard for harmonious sounds
and the least thread Of melodies,
there is hope for the future in the
works of a young Russian COM
poser, Tykhon Khrennikov, whose
First Symphony was recently per
formed by the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra under the direc-
ton of Eugene Ormondy.
A graduate of the Moscow Con-
servatory, Khrennikov, "a years
old, though surrounded on all sides
in his native land with modernism,
has succeeded in creating major
work in the grand manner that
seemed to have been kept alive
only by two composers, Sibelius
and Richard Strauss, since the
death of Mailer.
Possibly the emergence Of a sane
composer is a sign that the world
is growing away from the turbu-
lence of the World War days and
is again spawning creative minds
that are content to gain notice
with careful workmanship instead
of by trying to shock the populace
with wild noises.
In the absence of Capt. Taylor
BranSon, William F. Santelmann,
second leader, conducted the pro
gram last night of the United
States Marine Band Symphony Or
chestra at the Marine Barracks.
There was an especial appeal in
two of the works given last night,
the overture, "Sakuntala" Gold
mark, and the Peer Gynt" suite
(Grieg), because of the beautiful
and elective woodwind sections
that provoked vivid Oriental tone
pictures.
The Grossmann "Czardas" is not
so emotional as one usually ex-
poets Hungarian dance so named.
Musician John Auer, first 'cellist,
played the well-known air, Der
ceuSe," from "Jocelyn" (Godard) =,
in a setting new and refreshing in
that a long cadenZa was added.
The cadenza, with the usual ar
peggioS and display passages, con-
tinued the mood Of the piece in
the double stop duet themes. Mr..
Auer played the work with a sweet
tone and considerable technical
skill.
OF the concert given last night
by the Department of Agriculture
Orchestra under the direction of
DR.. Walter Bauer at the Depart
ment Auditorium, two features
stood out from the remainder of
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES "Ruy
Bias Overture" because it was
played in good tune although
much too slow, and the harp and
clarinet duet in the new work by
Laurence Powell, "Keltic Legend"
The orchestra, composed as it
is of amateur musicians with a
scattering of semi-profeSsional
musicians, at times does some fine
work and plays in excellent pitch.
Last night was evidently one of
the off nights. Possibly DR.. Bauer
had worked the musicians too
hard, as they were rehearSing in
the auditorium to within q half
hour of the start of the program.
One can appreciate the position
Of DR.. Bauer. He has in his or
ganization number of key players
