 Mead. after comforting with Prom oter Mike Jacobs, said the defense might no, be staged until late Co., tober or November because of the severe cuts Armstrong suffered Wednesday night when he wrested the lightweight title from Lou Am- bcrs.

 Soft One

 Armstropg's lower lip was patched up with IS stitches and his physi- clan said 1t was the worst cut he had seen in l3 years repairing fighters.

HUbBELL'S ARM MAY COST FLAG
Star Giant Pitcher Finally "Gives In" to Injury;
 May Need Operation
By HENRY SUPER

United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 New York, Aug. 19--(UP)-"King" Carl Hubbcll, one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, was on the Bidelines today with an arm alment which may put him out for the rest of the season and wreck the New York Giants National league pcnnant hopes.
 Hubbell and his teammates, struggling to win their third straight league championship, prob- ably will get definite news next Tuesday when Memphis special ist examines Carl's arm in Chicago.
 Winner Of more than 200 ball games and called Manager Bill Terry's meal ticket" the 35 year old left-handcr was driven from the box in the fifth inning of yesterdays game by the Brooklyn Dodgers who went on to beat the Giants, 6-3.
 Never a complaining pitcher and remarkably free from the ordinary run of arm complaints. Hubbcll ad- mitted to Terry yesterday that his elbow had been troubling him for some time. But. the National leagues rival to "Olc Man River" added, "It always worked itself loose after while and I didn't con- sider it serious
 Recently. Hubbcll said, the pains became more severe and in ycstcr- days game "the elbow felt aS though knives were cutting through it every time tried to put anything on the ball"
 Terry said he had had no idea Hubbells arm was such a serious problem until after yesterdays game.
 T had known for some time that he occasionally was bothered with a slight pain in his elbow" Terry said. but he always minimized it and I had no Idea until now how bad k really was. But yesterday felt something was wrong. His con- trol was of and knew then somc- thing wag out of order"
 Hubbell, who at leas temporarily joins such other famed 1898 arm casualties as Paul and Dizzy Dean, Schooiboy Rowe. Lefty Grove and Bob Teller, will accompany the team to Chicago Monday. Terry said he was notifying Dr. J. Spen- cer Speed, Of Memphis. to come to Chicago and look at the arm.
 "If the trouble is bone growth or something like that which an operation can correct" said Terry, "ITl let Hubbeli be operated on at once. At his age t would be silly to delay matters. If it is something c brief rest can't cure, he won't be any use to us anyway and if 1t Is something an operation can fix up, the sooner It is done the better his chances for next year"
 With Hubbcll out the Giants pen nant chances are considerably lcs- sencd. He was . potent factor in the Giants 1883. io38 and 1897 drives to the top.
 The Giants are i've games behind the league -ieading Pittsburgh Pi- rates and only . game and . half ahead of the third-pIace Cincinnati
