EARL COCHELL
IS SEEKING new
Tennis H0N0RS
By TOMMY DEVINE

EVANSTON, H., June 22. tUPD-
Earl Cochell, University of Southern
California youngster with the build
and facial features of prize fight
er, today eyed the role of "spoiler"
as the 59th annual National Inte.-
collegiate Tennis tournament moved
into the second round.
Cochell, who two seasons ago
rated as another of long line Of
great net prospects developed On
the Pacific coast, is bidding COM
petitive tennis a farewell with his
tournament and he'd like It to be
a glory winning one. He's received
orders to report for duty with the
Navy July |.
BEATS TAUGHT
Cochell eliminated Bobby Taught
of Notre Dame, 6-2, 6-3 yesterday
i'm the feature match of the OPEN
ing round.
The Trojan ace performed bril-
liantly last week in the national
clay court championships at De-
troit and on clay again here he's
beginning to gain mastery OF his
ground strokes.
Earl is in the top half Or the
draw along with Francisco pan
cho) Segura of the University ol
Miami and hopes to be able to renew
his court dueling with the coi0rful
Ecuadorian. Cochell defeated Segura
at Rye. N. Y, in 1941 in their only
meeting
THAT was on the grass" he tells
you hastily. Il like grass much bet
ter, but Segura's preference is for
clay. He's demon on clay and |
know how tough he will be here"
GREAT SPIRIT
Cochell has one of the character
istics that Segura deems vital tC
good performer-a bulldog fight
ing spirit. The Trojan is a conf
dent. aggressive netter who likes
to rush TO the net 20 battle for his
points.
Segura opens his title bid by
meeting Horace Filler of Depauw
university, GreencaStle, Ind.
Fresh from his recent conque5ts
in the eastern intercollegiates at
MontcIdir, N. j., where he won the
singles title without the loss of a
set and then paired with Manfred
Berliner, jr., to take the doubles,
Segura pronounced himself in tip
top shape. Pancho will play only
in the singles here as Berliner is
not competing, leaving him without
partner.

CARL HUBBELL
keeps THROWING
'SCRE:WBALL'
Ev .VACK CIJDpY

NE" 1Ofth, June % tUP)-Carl
Hubbell of the New York Giants,
king of screwbali, is 40 years old to-
day
Although life doesn't begin at 4G
fol the long painted meal ticket
everyone in baseball marVels that
50 much life is left in Hubbell S
portside flipper
They marvel because the angular
Oklahoman concentrated Is years in
the major leagues on an eccentric
delivery marked poison"
SAME STYLE
Hubboll, with baseball pants that
flirt with his ankles, is still pitch
ing for the Giants in somewhat
similar fashion as when he began
hurting for them under John Nc
Graw in 1923, despite the supposed
withering effects of the screwball.
King Carl one of the most
respected and admired pitchers in
National League history tried out
with Detroit before he came to the
Giants. Such notables as Ty Cobb
and George Moriarty warned him to
shun the screWball. Meek Carl who
lived most of his life in Meeker,
Oklahoma, said to himself: ITS the
easiest pitch l throw. I don't
reckon it can hurt me much"
THROWS SCREWBALL
So he kept throwing the screw
ball with such effectiveness that he
is a sure shot ultimately for base
balls hall of fame at CooperstoWn,
N Y, with his pitching achieve
ments already legendary a feat he
can never forget occurred on a
summer day in 1884 in an all-star
game when he struck out in sue
cession Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig,
Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe
Cronin. He not only struck out
that quintet of famous American
League sluggerS, but he had them
missing his screWball by a foot or
more.
To our mind that was Hubbells
great day, although he pitched a
nc-hitter in 1929, was voted the
National circuits most valuable
player in 1888 and 1886 after pitch
Ing the Giants to pennants in those
seasons, and although he once
registered 46h consecutive scoreless
innings.
It was partly Hubbell and partly
the screwball that made long, lean
Carl one of the games greatest
fingers.
The screwball. as delivered by
left-handed Hubbell. is fast
breaking "in-drop" to left-handeo
batsmen and an "out-drop' to
right-handers. It is an extremely
difficult pitch fer SouthpaW to
throw to left-handed batsmen. But
II was natural" for Hubbell be-
cause of his flexible though thick
left wrist. He developed the pitch
hv accident while experimenting
with side-arm sinkers with Okla
home City in 1925.
