most remarkable man I've ever
known in baseball"
when he started this season with
the Giants back in April he was 80
years old. He had been star pitch
er for 20 years. We kicked away
one game after another back of him.
He never had a complaint. He had
lost six of his first seven starts. He
took all the blame. But in place of
losing heart he kept working just
as hard and then won his next six
straight starts"
at doesn't make any difference
how many errors you make back of
Carl. He takes the blame. He new
er has an alibi or an excuse. It
took him five years through seven
different towns to reach the Giants
in 1928, but this never slowed him
down. He has been their star ever
since he arrived"
carl has won 10 games in
row. He famed five of the greatest
hitters the American league ever
knew in succession. He has won
four of his six World Series starts.
He won lie games in five years for
the Giants, a remarkable record
with only a fair hitting ball club.
But that's only a small part of the
real Carl Hubbell."
Still Learning
"Hubbell, after 20 years, is still
learning. When he sits on the bench
he watches every batter that comes
to the plate. He watches every pitch
er to see just what he has. He
works just as hard when he isn't
pitching as he does in the box.
The greatest pitcher of them all,
he takes nothing for granted. Dur
ing a game, even when he is on the
bench, he overlOOks nothing. He
rarely says word.
"His whole heart and soul are in
that ball game-and that's after 20
years of competition. He is just as
keen to win now-I think even keen
er-than he was at his prime.
Sand through it all he is the most
modest man ever knew. If Carl
won 40 consecutive games, if he
broke every pitching record, he
would still be the same quiet, loyal,
modest fellow trying to learn-and
giving all the credit to the team"
talked with several of the Giants
about Hubbel1.
"He is under one tough handi-
cap," Giant veteran said, ''When
Carl pitches we all are so keen to
win for him that we tighten up. We
know there's no one like him. We'd
break a leg and an arm to win for
him. So at times we get over anx-
ious, try too hard, and lose games
he should have won. But you can
make six errors back of Hub and
you'll never hear squawk. When
he loses he is the one who takes the
blame. When he wins-it's the team
that did it."
There have been any number of
stars in baseball who were also
swell-headed, arrogant, noisy, &C.
centric, etc., just as we have in 9TH
er forms of existence. This is known
as color"
But Carl Hubbells are extremely
rare. He belongs to a breed, that
with few exceptions, is rapidly be-
coming extinct.
Mel OFT, who knows his Kipling,
concluded the discussion in these
few words
"I'd call him a gentleman, un-
afraid"

THIS seems to be a good spot in
= which to pay additional tribute
to fellow by the name of Carl
Owen Hubbell, a pitcher for Mel
Otis New York Giants.
After taking in all the testimony
available from Mel OFT, his fellow
Giants and his opponents from the
National and American league, Carl
Hubbell comes closer to being:
''The perfect ball player" than any
one we've ever known.
There is, of course, no such word
as perfection" in the human lay
out. 1t is the closest approach to
perfection that one must consider.
Here is what Carl Hubben has,"
Mel OFT told me. "Just check
against it"
skill, courage, brains, modesty,
humility, loyalty, stamina, the will
to win, concentration, physical fit
ness-1OO per cent of which quail
ties he has at every start"
This happens to be fair collec-
ton of worthwhile ingredients in an
age where such features as 'mod-
esty," humility" loyalty" "stam-
ina" and concentration" are often
well below par.
Skill, courage and brains COM
bined in one system are rare
enough.
But these qualities are usually &C
companied by arrogance, over-con-
fidence, physical unftness and spot
ty concentration.
about Carl HubbeU
Lon WarDeke, the tobacco chewer
from Mt. Ida, Ark, one of the best
pitchers in the game, said recently
that Hubbell was the greatest pitch
er he had ever seen.
"That tells only half the story"

Pack Trips Organized
70 Spare Tire Wear

SANTA FE, N, Mex, July IL
New Mexicos answer to rubber con-
servation Is the pack trip. which
utilizes horse transportation ex-
clusively and takes the traveller far
of the beaten path.
So popular have pack-in trips
grown in the past few years that
this year Red Myrick, veteran dude
wrangler and cowboy, has organized
an exclusive pack outfit, with head
quarters in Santa Fe.
Center of activity for the outfit
will be the Sangre de Cristo Noun
tain area around Santa Fe.
While Mr.. Myrick ranks as a
pioneer in the exclusive pack-in
business in New Mexico, the idea is
by no means new. Dude ranches
in the State have pushed this type
of recreation for years on smaller
scale and other outfits are available
for limited trips.

proposal for families to double up
in one car for vacation transporta-
tion. II the tires can stand the extra
load. two vacations-one for each
couple-can be accomplished In one
trip.
On the basis of travel planning
outlined above, the family with two
autos perhaps can work out more
extensive vacation, depending on the
amount of high-necessity driving
actually required. Theoretically,
each automobile is entitled to a
basic ration card and has gotten it.
Only developments will determine
whether two cars In one family,
spotlighted by the fact that they are
in one persons name, will prove en-
barrassing later.
The coziest spot for travel-hungry
Americans to be is among that rare
class that does little or no occupa-
tional driving. A total of 1880 miles
of recreational driving In six q
month installments belongs to each
member in those ranks, subject only
to inhibitory warnings against waste
Of tires and gas. Located on bus
and streetcar lines convenient to
home and work, these drivers have
a greater choice of spots when vaca-
ton time rolls around, as they have
more gas for recreation.
Whether or not an automobile can
be retired from occupational driving
entirely and incidental driving re-
duced, with the bonus put into va
cation trips, depends on ones driv-
ing habits. Although many times
they are imposed by necessity, new
routines might be found for work.

dends in enjoyment when yearly
respites from the daily grind are
handed out.
Motor vacation plans which in
clude driving westward into unra-
toned areas are not clear in view OF
the fact that restrictions for selling
gas in the 50-mile- e-wide buffer zone
have not been announced at this
writing. BY way of the shortest
good highway from Washington, the
Eastern buffer zone line is about
140 miles. Whether one will need
gas to carry the car through the
zone or whether the rationed motor
ist can buy within the zone Is an un-
settled point.

Pleasant Motor Vacations May Continue Under
Forthcoming Rotioning System, but Widening the
Range Of Choice Takes Some PIonning

of six pages of eight coupons each,
entitless the motorist to 1872 gallons
a year. For the driver who needs
no gas for getting to and from work,
the $3.50 miles this represents is
subject to his whims, restricted only
by his response to appeals not to
waste his tires and by the artificial
or actual scarcity of gasoline. If the
basic ration holder travels more
than 1880 miles in going to work
after fulfilling his share-the-
duties, he is entitled to additional
rations. The upshot of the basic
ration book is that he has 1000 miles
year to play with.
X X 4 Il
What kind of vacation can one
have on 1000 miles year? Well,
you can't go far within the Eastern
rationing area, but something can
be worked out. Distant trips are
handicapped by the fact that each
page of coupons is valid only within
specified two-month periods. If one
is forced to use all his occupational
driving mileage of 1856 each month,
only SO miles are left for vacation or
incidental driving The vacationist
budgeting all his two month recrea-
tional driving at once can select a
spot approximately 80 miles away
and get back. Such limitations
would concentrate Washington va
cations within Maryland and Vir-
ginia. Yet sWank resorts, sandy
bathing beaches, forested mountains
and delightful farms that accept
paying guests" are found within
this restricted circle.
In implying, but not Officially rec
ognizing. the fact that gasoline will
be used for vacation transportation
the OPA has left certain amount
of occupational mileage free for
pleasure use. With two weeks away
from work, the basic ration driver
needs only half of his work-a day
mileage that month. AS the 1880
occupational driving breaks down
into l56 miles month, the worker
ard his family can push back the
vacation horizon distance of "a

Tight as the forthcoming gasoline
rationing system will be, the idea Of
vacation trips by automobile after
July % can be salvaged. For the
person who needs his car In his
work, however, it requires bit Of
planning. Eliminating the problem
of gasoline supplies, which rationing
is designed to spread equitably, but
three factors need be weighed-the
condition of ones tires, driving hab-
its of the family and the expiration
dates for each page of coupons in
the A book each motorist is entitled
to receive.
Mentally conditioned to restricted
motoring by the present system OF
individual gasoline quotas, the A
card holder OF today, under the
practice" rationing in force through
July 81, will find no trouble in ad-
justing his vacation driving under
the new system. In fact, he will
enjoy a bonus of a gallon week,
for the present six-gallon punch on
today's cards was stop-gap propo-
sition to extend the life of today's
coupons through July 81 and orig
inally bore value of three gallons.
Using the OPAs arbitrary figure,
the motorist receiving his basic ra-
ton for use on and after July % can
60 Is more miles a week-not much
consolation when measured in
seven-day periods but capable of
being nursed along by saving into a
distance that means slightly wider
choice in vacation destinations.
\
AS far as vacation trips are con-
cerned, the pinch will be felt only
by the motorist who had more than
he needed under one of the three
classes of B cards, and holders of the
controversial x card. The Office of
Price Administration, early in the
summer, cohdoned the use of B
cards for pleasure driving, but only
after motorists had gagged their
needs-presumably conscientiously
and pinched their other driving
to save for vacation trips. This
simply meant a change in driving
habits.
No doubt there are members of
the present A card fraternity who
too timid, too conscientious or for
other reason failed to get B card
to which he was entitled and needed
every drop of gas for high-necessity
driving. Such a situation is avoided
under the new plan, at least in
theory. Whether the new coupons
will work out that way, whether the
A~card holder in the Forthcoming
system will be forced to fudge" on
his pleasure driving allotment, will
depend on his efforts in working out
a share-the-car arrangement, the
persuasiveness with which he fol-
lows through his request for supple
mental rations. and how tough his
rationing board-which passes on
his extra quota plea-happens to be
# the rationing boards operate with
justice toward each driver, he will
have a definite number of gallons for
non-occupational or pleasure driv-
ing through the year.
That quota will be a far, far cry
from the days when motoring was
guided by the slogan, "fill 'er up
