NEW YORK, Dec. l CUP)-Life

Hubbell - the life Of a baseball
eXecutive-as he changes abruptly
from the role of pitching start to
manager of the New York Giants

Long pants Hubbell, the lean,

task of attracting war-decimated

tial as dependable sources for the
replacement material required to
keep major league club in top

The gangling left-hander, who
won 257 games, including four
World Series triumphs, during his
IS years with the Giants, admitted
his regret at retiring from the
mound. But he added, mo one can
go on forever"
Regardless of what he may carve
out of the future, old Long-pants
can be justifiably proud of his
pitching career which was high
lighted by his being voted the most
valuable player in the circuit in 1888
and 1886, and which was glamorous-
" featured by his amazing per-
formance in the 1884 all-star game

controversial points including G
whether or not to retain the major
minor league agreement q docu-
ment which indirectly supplies Lam
dis with control over Gll organized
baseball.
In addition, Bramham's presi-
dental post was challenged with
the International league proposing
its president, Frank j. Shaughnessy,
as a candidate to take over the
$25.000 position. Factions from
both sides claimed substantial
backing late last night with opin-
ion evenly divided regarding the
outcome, to be decided by the
nine minor leagues entitled to a
vote.
Other squabbles expected to be
ironed out today included the
amendment, proposed by the dou-
BILE A leagues, for reValuatlon OF
voting power; an amendment al
fecting territorial rights for post
war reorganization and plea from
the 16 minor leagues, which did
not play last season but paid dues
to maintain their franchises, for a
right to vote.
1t appeared that the voting privi-
lege would be denied to the clubs
which did not operate. The action
brought hints of a possible decision
by Judge Lands on the matter if
he deemed it detrimental to base
ball-the only grounds on which he
interferes with minor league jUris-

ball players. it does even more. The
Ell Contro Merchants is a new team
this year. 1t comprises for the
most part all youngsters of high
school age or slightly over and out
of their ranks come the future
teams of the valley. Also this team
will give these lads the opportunity
to keep fit for that big game they
may be called upon to participate
in in other parks.
SELF SUPPORT
The FL Centre Town team is
composed, for the most part. Of
former Heber players, who were
plenty tough in any mans ball park.
Last year they won the champion
ship for FL Centre, and the great
thing about it is that this team has
been playing on its own accord for
some time now just because the
guys that make up the batting list
like to play. We've been told thai
the fellows have taken up collec-
