Joy Seeps From Cards
When Hub Tokes Hill.

THAT crooked arm" a hollow
voice would answer from the depths
Of locker.
At once all the joy and zest went
out Of those Cardinals, leaving them
damp and dispirited and bleak.
Even Pepper Martin conceded that
hitting against Hubbells pitching
took all the fun out of the game.
Working and winning year in and
year out, equalizing the chances of
two unequal ball clubs (e. g.,
Yankees VS.. Giants as few men
have, Hub probably belongs with
Alexander, Vance, Mathewson and
Mordecai Brown, right-handers, in
. the pantheon of National League
pitching.
OFT, his sidekick, short, wide, solid
and smiling where Hubbell is long,
lean and serious, deserves a story
OF his own. Perhaps he was made
for the Polo Grounds, Extensively
and defensively, as some critics have
said, but in any ball park Ottie was
a great ball player
The sight of these two may haunt
Will Terry with memories of Nc
Graw, but even Terry, discussing the
chances of his team, still begins:
"Ott looks good. Hubbell is show

McGrow's Team Goes On
In HubbeII, OFT
BY JOHN LARDNER,


WINTER HAVEN, Fla, March %
N.ANA).-The ghost of John J.
McGraw still haunts the camp of
the New York Giants. This is very
inconvenient in some ways, for the
present Giant manager, william
Harold Terry, is strong man who
hates to be reminded of past dynas-
ties. He does not care for ectoplasm
In any form. 1t bothers him.
But as long as Mel OFT and Carl
Hubbell continue to go their way
about the ball field, quietly holding
the team together, Mr.. Terry cannot
complain. Hubbell and OFT are the
legacies of McGraw, the living rep
resentatives of the fiery leader who
surrendered his command in 1882
and died two years later.
They work cheerfully enough for
Terry, just as they worked by his
side IN the days when Bill was a
mere first baseman pulling his oar
for McGraw with the rest of them.
But this cannot be completely Ter
rvs team until OFT and Hubbell are
gone, and Terry is not ready to
win without them yet.
He'll have to be able to do that
pretty soon. It's a mournful truth
that Hubbell, the lean, loyal, gently
humorous southpaw pitcher, and
Ottie, the concentrated power of
every Giant team of the last 10
years, are on their way down, re-
ceding slowly but certainly from the
crest Of their glory.
Evening star., 1940-03-22
OFT, HubbeII Greet PoIs
or Playing Field.

OFT and Hubbell are as close as
two fingers. They have been room
mates down the years. When the
ball game is over they walk off the
field together, dress together and
leave the clubhouse together. This
seems right. They were McGraw
ball players together, while Hal
Schumacher and Harry Danning,
two other Giant graybeards, were
only couple of bees in McGraw's
bonnet when he surrendered the
club
You can make strong case for
Hubbell as the greatest left-handed
pitcher IN National League history.
Rucker, Marquard, Sallee and Hal
lahan were great, too. but Hubbell
overshadows them all. A Giant
team that was weak and uneven
without him promptly became a
championship club, harder to beat
than any in the land whenever Hub
pitched
Rival hopes and spirits splintered
upon him as on rock. There have
been few more boisterous, buoyant
teams in baseball than the gas
house gang from st. Louis. Sailing
into the clubhouse at the Polo
Grounds at the height of their
swashbuckling fame, they hurled
towels and shoes around and yelled
and sang and thought of themselves
as unbeatable. Then some one
would say:
Who's nitchinr for then, {odoyou

West opened the JACK OF CLUBS
and South won with the queen. The
next step was to lead the queen Of
hearts for a finesse, and East very
cleverly refused to win the trick.
South then led the six OF hearts,
hoping to win a fineSSe with the ten
Of hearts and thus gain two en-
tries to dummy: but East took that
trick since his hold-off had been de-
signed just to limit dummy to one
entry.
East then returned a heart and
there South was, in the dummy. With
the contract depending on bringing
in all four spade tricks. The con-
tract also depended on leading the
right spade. Can you pick the right
sard before you read on?
South correctly led the nine Of
spades from the dummy! East nat
urally played low, and so did South.
Next the queen OF spades was led,
and once again East and South
played low. The lead was still in the
dummy, so third finesse could be
taken and South made his slam con-
tract.
Just for The fun of it, see what
happens If the queen of spades is
led for the first flnesse. II South
plays low, he is forced to win the
second spade-and no more illnesses
can be taken. since dummy Is entry
less And If South throws the ten
under dummys queen, East will cover
the nine and make trick with the
eight.
