Palm Turns Outward When
HubbeIi's Vino Is Idle.

Hubbells left arm, in Is years time,
has become unique specimen When
1t swings at leisure, the palm of the
hand turns outward. The left wrist is
a quarter again as thick as the right
one. The rest of Hubs body is lean
and even frail, but the left arm is a
black-snake whip of toughness and
stamina. Or was.
l hope this grave, mannerly farmer
from Oklahoma, who never speaks an
unnecessary word and never a foolish
one, will be pitching some more, the
way he always has pitched. You can't
tell about arms. But if he is washed
up. Hub still will belong among the
great southpaws-Waddell, Rucker,
Grove, Marquard. Nehf and Plank.
The boys often speak of the out
standing right-handednes of Hubbelrs S
character and disposition. There is a
tendency in baseball to classify all
left-handers as screwy, in spite of the
fact that many of them arc good to
their mothers and kind to animals.
Ruoe Waddell got this legend off to
q flying start, and none of the south
paws who followed the Rube has done
much to dispel it. Sinistrality may not
be mental state. as the ball players
insist. but you often get the impression
that 1t is, from watching the opera
tions of left-handed pitchers, on and
off the field
Hubbell has an even disposition, a
Steady competitive spirit, a coolness
end pitching intelligence that are far
beyond the capacity of most right
handlers, let alone southpaws. These,
added to his fine throwing equipment
snd the loyalty and faith that his
teammates give him, have made the
Oklahoman the greatest National
League pitcher of his generation.
Because, although some, like Dizzy
Dean, may possess more natural stuff
none has held up as long, and as well,
and as solidly, as Hubbell

From The
Press Box
Even if Washed Up Now
Hub Ranks With Great.
By JOHN LARDNER,

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, Aug 22.-It may be
little early to plant lily in Carl Hub
bells left arm and roll him off to the
churchyard, to the strains of slow
music but this much can be said: If
he never pitches another inning, this
lean, Sad-faced man from Meeker,
Okla, will rank among the four or five
greatest southpaWs of all time.
Hubs left arm gave him pain in
game against Brooklyn last week; and,
what was more to the point, to Hub
bells way of thinking, it failed to serve
him well. Pain he could stand, but he
didn't feel that his club could afford
to have him throwing crippled stuff up
there to enemy batsmen.
And so, being one of the most SEN
sibe fellows that ever drew breath
so sensible that most baseball men in
siSt that his left-handedneSs is
freak of nature. and that he must be
right-handed in his heart-Hub
walked to the bench at the end of a
bad inning and said to Bill Terry, his
manager;
You better get me out of there I'm
no good"
These words were as welcome to
Terry as courtesy visit from the bu-
boniC plague. But he knew Hubbells
boundlesS wisdom, and he bundled him
off to the doctor.

then he is apt to give the credit to

Hubbell has thrown a great many
screWballs in his Is years of profess
sional pitching. The screwball breaks
in the opposite direction from the true
and normal curve. You must snap your
arm abnormally to throw it. Most
pitchers find that it tears at the
muscles. They cannot control the de-
livery or make it effective without
pain and awkWardness, and so they do
not bother with it.
Hub, on the other hand. threw his
screwball in such an easy. effortless
manner that it looked as though he
could throw it forever And maybe
he could have. Maybe it was not the
screwball that brought his arm up
dead last week. But the ball players
think it was.

BAKER POST MEETS

Johnny Baker Post, held its MONTH,
meeting Wednesday, September 28
Well attended, the meeting was visited
by Chairman of Membership Commit

members, including the Commander OF
Leslie Lawrence Post.
AS usual Leslie Lawrence came with
old bill to collect, which happened to
be duck dinner to the commander of
five years ago
1t seems as though a bet had been
made by the then Commander of
Baker Post that he would secure more
members than the man across the
river, the loser to furnish a duck din
ner. St. Paul members claimed the
duck had been ducked, and wanted to
start all over again, to the end that
they will have a chance to beat Min
neapolis.
The challenge was taken under con-
sideration, and will be formally an
Swered next meeting.
Several other features vital to our
group generally were discussed and
passed on.

MAN BETRAYED BY DOVE
OF PEACE

Ora Jamison, was charged with as.
sault on his common law wife and
plead for fine instead of a sentence
which the judge granted in the form oil
ten dollars.
He thanked the judge and swore by
all things eternal that he would never
be seen up there again.
He promised to go home and pack
his clothes and get out with all speed
The following day he was back
again, this time charged as drunk.
Recognized by the judge, and asked
how he happened to break his promise
he blamed it on the dove of peace.
According to his story, he went
home faithful to his promise, and start
ed to pack.
The dove of peace flew in the win
dow while he was busy, and 10 in its
claws it carried pint of whisky.
At the urging of the dove he finally
weakened and took a drink, just one
drink.
The rest of the story is hazy, ex-
cept for the fact that the Judge fined
him five dollars more and stayed his
sentence until he could raise the
money. The fine was paid two days
later.

National Negro Congress, October 7

The Regional Conference will in
clude delegates from the Eastern and
Southern states and will be followed
by similar regional conference of the
Western States to be held in Chicago,

Official calls for the Eastern confer
ence already have been issued here and
it is expected that the response will

gates went from New York to the
Second National Negro Congress held
in Philadelphia.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
RESTRICTS LENIENCY
IN EVICTIONS

According to officials of the State
Highway Department, leniency in
evictions will be restricted to those
colored residents east of Lyndale Ave.
Those persons living beyond or west
of Lyndale Avenue will be subject to
proceedings. Three notices of eviction
to group families have already been
served, and it is expected that the pro-
cess of routine will involve all in the
affected area within short time.
Discussing promises made during
previous conferences on this matter,
representatives of the Highway De-
partment stated that to attempt to pass
every colored dwe1ler within the pro-
ject would so handicap work on the
proposed Highway that it might be
necessary to withhold work on the
whole contract. They explained that
the moving of heavy machinery from
point to point in order to pass every
colored dweller would create an over
burdening expense.
They did give assurances that those
persons residing in the district east of
Lyndale would be permitted to stay
until January the first As fast as
dwellers of this area move, the houses
are boarded up and no new tenants
ire allowed
The Citizens Volunteer Committee
on Housing meets Sunday at four
p. m, and it is likely that some action
will be taken to clear up the situation.
Authorities in Washington announced
Wednesday, the appointment of Frank
Pearce, 1900 Drew Avenue South as
Manager of the Summer Field Hous-
.ng Project.
The fact that Mr.. Pearce, who was
formerly connected with the White In
yestment Company, is not very well
known politically, lends credence to
previous statements by those con-
1ected with the housing program, that
capability and experience play a more
important part in appointments than
politics. There are at least four can
1idates for the appointment of assis-
tant manager among our group.
