King Carl
Feels Age
Coming ON

ONEW ORLEANS, Feb. IL -
R-Mel OFT and Carl Hubbell,
the last Of the McGrawmen, face
the imminent baseball season
without what you would call
bubblins optimism.
"King Carl" admitted today
that age might be creeping into
his 38-year old left arm, which
has grown progressively weaker
in the fray since It pitched the
New York Giants to the Pennant
in 1897 and tanned the Yankees
in the fourth game of the World
Series.
Mel of the mighty bludgeon,
who has hit more home runs
against National League pitchers
than any other man, said his eyes
which annoyed him last season
had given him no more trouble
but would venture only enough
of 4 prediction on the season
to say, 1--WE hope it will be better
than last year."
OFT and Hubbell, roommates
since Carl joined the Giants in
1928, are the only presently &C.
tive players on the club who
were regulars during the regime
of the late. fiery manager John
J. McGraw. Hubbell has been
visiting OFT at the latter's SUBJ
urban home prior to leaving to-
morrow for training camp at
Miami.
II won't know how my arm
is until I've tried for . couple
of months" said lanky. leather
faced Carl as they sat in the
locker room of the Metairie
Country Club after a last pre-
season round of golf.
1T didn't hurt last year, but
got tired after six or seven inn
ings. / don't know if it was from
the operation I had the year be-
fore or just because of old age"
OFT said he had not seen an
oculist since last season and had
not tried again to wear the
glasses he tried unsuccessfully
at the start of the campaign.
