: Hubbell must have learned In
his dozen years Of major league
pitching is that the best way to

Hubbell took personal charge
last night of the Giants first
home game under the fioodlights,
conquering the Boston Braves, 2
to 1, although his team could get
him only seven hits.
Hal Schumacher and Manuel

scores coming on a pair of home
runs by Joe Orengo and Eddie
Miller. Then after an hours re-

listened to President Roosevelts
speech, Hubbell and Dick Err
rickson resumed the duel. The
Braves promptly loaded the
bases on two hits and an error
but double-play saved Hubbell
and he repaid that kindness in
the ninth by singing home Bill

wound up in the last half of the
ninth, with the league-leading
st. Louis Cardinals pulling out a

Johnny Hopp because he had q
sore finger, was called upon for
pinch-hitting duty with the bases
full and one out and he raped a
single off Jake Mooty to decide
the game.
