HUB
WINS
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK, July II. CUP)-Cut
another notch into the long register
of Carl Hubbell's pitching achieve
ments for at &c. the New York
Giants veteran southpaw once
again is earning the title of Meal
Ticket"
Manager Mel Otis retention OF
Hubbell this year seemed strictly
on the sentimental side and when
Carl's record late last month regis
tered only one win against slX
losses, one of the games greatest
pitchers seemed ready to end a
brilliant career dismally.
But Hubbell, whose crafty pitch
ing practically carried the Giants
into three World series during Bill
Terry's regime, apparently has been
rejuvenated again-aS usual Just
when his team needs him most. The
Giants had lost three in a row,
seven out of nine and were headed
for the second division when Hub
bell halted the slide last night.
"Old Hub" turned in one OF his
finest performances, beating the
Pirates 81, for his third win. He
held the Pirates to total OF 1our
hits allowing only pair OF singles
and retiring l6 batterS in row
until Red Barrett tripled in the
ninth. Elbie Fletcher'S single spoiled
the Shutout.
The Brooklyn Dodgers split a
doubleheader with the Chicago Cubs,
the champions winning the second
game, 81, after the Bruins had
taken the opener, TO.
st. Louis dropped eight games
off the pace when the Phils won
their first game at Sportsman
Park this year, 43, in 10 innings.
Danny Litwhiler drove in three of
the Phils' runs, punching out his
seventh homer to aid Tommy Hughes
to his fifth victory.
Eight pitchers went to the mound
as Cincinnati OutlaSted Boston and
won, 7-6, Johnny Wander Nicer was
unable to retire a Boston batter in
the first while Johnny Hutchings
BoSton's starter, lost control in the
fourth and was removed after pitch
ing 10 straight called balls.
The st. Louis Browns kept up
the hottest pace in the American
league and moved into a fourth
place tie with Detroit by defeating
the Athletics, 81, for their sixth
straight win. Chet LaabS drove in
four of the Browns runs with two
homerS raising his four-bagger to-
tai to Is.
Washington shaded the Tigers
6-5, in a 1O-inning night game fea-
tured by six Detroit errors and 1f
bases on balls. The Senators won
the game when Bobby Estalella
walked and when Dizzy Trout threw
wildly to second on Jake Early S
sacrifice both were safe. A sacrifice
moved them along and George Case
drove hit past Higgins to end the
game.
Ernie Bonham registered his 10th
triumph as the Yankees, helped by
Mel Harder's Wildness and pail
of errors by Ray Back, won theii
second in row from Cleveland
8-5. The win was the fifth straight
for the New Workers who now leaC

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE
By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, July II UP - The
American League is using so much
strategic baSeball-the hit and run,
bunting, etc.-that the circuits play
encroaches upon methods of the
National League.
At least that's the impression OF
Jolting joe DiMaggio, that well
known analyst of the New York
Yankees, who is quite willing to
side step an anniversary today.
II was Just year ago today that
DiMaggio ambled out under the
arc lights in Cleveland's huge Mu-
nicipal Stadium, before 67,468 fans,
and failed to get a hit, through
the combined efforts of Al Smith
and Jim Bagby. That failure to get
even a scartch single ended DiMag-
gios record hitting streak at So
consecutive games.
ANOTHER STRING
DiAaggio, rebounding from this
seasons early slump, is working on
another string now. Counting yes
terday's game with the Cleveland
Indians, he has nit Safcly IN l3
consecutive games,
But Jolting Joe is concerned only
indirectly with his new necklace
of l3 games. He concentrates upon
the unexpected methods of play in
his circuit. The slender, dark-haired
San Francisco Italian says:
Sometimes it seems the we must
be playing in the National League
not the American-these days, be-
cause the hit and run is used SO
much and because there's so much
bunting. Also the scores are gen.
orally lower and closer than last
year. although now and then there
are lop-sided games"
DiIaggio continued, Il don't
know what caused the increase in
strategy. Maybe the entrance of so
many good players into the services
sort of levelled off the clubs, bring
ing them closer to par in strength.
This makes it more difficult to get
runs, and increases the use of stra-

0DT Drafting
Plan TO Ration
Civilian Travel

WASHINGTON. May z (UP).-
The Office of Defense Transporta-
ton today is drafting a plan for
non-essential civilian
travel-by train. bus or airplane.
Officials expect travel-as-usual
to be part of the past by the end
of the year and believe that sharp
of non-essential travel
will be necessary before the end
of the summer.
War Production Board officials
said the transportation problem Is
very serious. They were concerned
about the travel-as-usual attitude
displayed last weekend when 300
railroad cars were used to carry
visitors to the Kentucky Derby.
IMPEDES WAR EFFORT
Such non-essential use Of rail-
road equipment must stop or the
war effort will be seriously i'm
|peded. they said.
Defense transportation officials
emphasized that the plan for ra-
Itioning travel was in the prelimi-
nary stage. They also pointed out
that 1t wouldn't rationing in the
strictest sense; that first a system
of permits, similar to the priority
arrangements now being used by
some air lines, would be tried.
But when that fails-and an
lODT spokesman intimated that IL
was expected to fall far short OF
the necessary curtailment-travel
Irationing will begin.
Nothing as drastic as such a
system was even considered during
World War I, when the govern
ment was forced to operate all
railroads.
TRAVEL RATIONINC
Under tentative proposals being
discussed by ODT officials this
week, here is how travel rationing
would work:
Before tickets would be sold.
a person would have to demon
strate that his travel was nee
esSary for either the war effort
or for vital civilian activities.
Preliminary discussions favor
using the carriers themselves as
the administrative agencies for the
program rather than local ration
ing boards.
An attempt will be made to
eliminate short trips from the
overall program. A neighborhood
area probably would be set up in
which there would be no restric-
tons. Such an area might vary
from a few miles in the crowded
East to several hundred miles in
less populated areas.
One official said, however, that
in areas where transportation pres
sure is greatest IL might be neces-
|sary to eliminate all non-essential
travel.
