The frock was floor length fash

hair. With Miss IgleSiaS was

CHICAGO, Aug. %. CUP)-The
,crazy-quilt National league pen
nant race found the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates still in command of the Situ-
alton today despite their biggest
one day nosedive of the season.
Although the New York Giants
are in second place five games
behind the Pirates, there doesn't
seem to be even a spark of the
championship spirit of the past two
years in the New York team. The
loss of Carl Hubbell, who will un-
dergo an arm operation in Mem
phis today, was about the last
straw for the Giants.
So Pittsburgh, although stagger-
ing and stumbling, appears headed
toward the National league pen
nant and a world series with the
New York Yankees, who yesterday
increased their American league
lead to II games. The Yanks dou-
BILE victory over the Athletics, "a
and 81, further emphasized the
utter hope of even g close finish
in the American league.

would keep the cups circulating
These expeditions would cost a
tremendous amount of money, too
The amateur atheieJe is supposed
TO be a frugal young man, intesst-
ed in nothing but the game for the
games sake, but you'd be surprised
at the novel touches he can get in
an expense account. You would
never think that an amateur tennis
player would have any need for a
sewing machine, would you? Yet
one tennis association sent out a
Gtalwart young representative who
included one of those instruments
in his expense account. Said he just
couldn't get along without one, and
as ne was very fine player, the
association humorod his eccentricity
BY the time the country paid the
expense of its athletes it would have
little left for anti-aircraft guns
bombs, barbed wire and boards OF
spies.
All of this cup rivalry would
lead toward peace in still another
direction. Sport is supposed to breed
good will and understanding be-
tween men of different race and
creed. But it doesn't. More often
than not it makes for a beautiful
misunderstanding, as more than one
olympic game has proved.
Under the hundred-cup system
the athletes would be mad at one

become second nature and such lit

the slapping Of a diplomats face

NOTES FROM THE
COAST LEAGUE

KeWpie Barrett, sensational but
hard luck pitcher of the Seattle
Rainiers has vowed never to criti-
cize an umpire again. Recently in
Seattle when Henry Tanning was
taken sick, Barrett and a player
from the opposing club were draft
ed to act as arbiterS. Il never real
lied that umpiring is so tough" he
later told President Tuttle. never
knew before that a guy can always
be in the wrong spot every time a
play came up. Never again for me-
Ed Carnett blossomed out with
a beautiful three-hitter just when
Truck Hannah was beginning to
feel the need of some additional
pitching. d. and, believe it or not,
Truck had himself placed on the
active playing list after Gene Lii
lard suffered that fracture. OF
course, the word "actiVe" must be
construed as largely figurative in
Trucks case. Next thing we know
Jack Lelivelt will be going in as
substitute runner, or Dutch Twill

Gently went nineteen innings with
out scoring. It's things like that
which cause premature badness
An unusual feature of Hutchinson S
work is that he has been pitching
to young catchers. Good young
catchers, true, but it would be in
tereSting to see him work with an
old head like Johnny Bassler
Seattle has already gone way over
the 100000 mark in attendance
Muller and Strange are now lead
ing the double play combinations
with forty-one. Griffiths and Reese

of cups that athletes of all nations
are always trying to win.
Already we have the Davis cup,
the Wightman cup, the Curtis cup,
the Ryder cup, the Walker cup, the
Westminster cup, the Stanley cup,
and the ARemrica's cup, to name
a few Why not, 1 thought, add a
few more cups and keep the nations
Of the world so busy trying to win
and retain them that they wouldn't
have time to wage war on one an

1t looks like a simple way TO pre-
serve peace, if you ask me. Cups
don't cost much. The Americas cup,
for example, wouldn't bring $100

The future of baseball'S greatest
pitcher hung in balance today as
a noted surgeon performed a deli
cate operation to remove a bone
from the million dollar arm of King
Carl Hubbell.
Hubbell, upon whose shoulders
rested the pennant hopes of the
New York Giants, was slated to be
inactive for at least five weeks
and then his future was uncertain.
There is a chance that he will
never pitch again.
King Carl has been the National
leagues most dependable pitcher
fer six years. He has won more
than 2C0 games. He has turned in
a no-hit no run game. He has
pitched at least 30 shutouts. He has
pitched the New York Giants to
four pennants and one world series.
Today the New York Giants were
lost without him. The zip that

seven years was gone. For the
silent, untiring Hubbell was the
reason" the New York Giants
played to win.
Win or lose Hubbell was always
the same. He never kicked when
his teammates bobbled away a
game. He was always the one To
point out errors of the rookie play
ers to help them make the grade
He gave all of his knowledge OF
batterS to new pitchers on the Gil
ant staff. He knew the weakness
of every batter in the league and
he never forgot.
The Giants are out of the run
ming for the National league title
this season, but should Hubbel
come out of the operation with the
stuff he had at the start of the
season, Bill Terry will have a nu.
cleus for his rebuilding campaign
