HU3BELL SETS LEAGUE RECORD New York Giant Hurler Pitches 46 Straight Scoreless Innings New York. Aug. 2.— (U.R) — Carl Hubbell, the New York Giants' lanky screw ball kins, today held a new National league record of pitching 46 consecutive scoreless Innings, but it seemed a Pyrrhic accomplishment since he dropped u ball gante and the menacing Pittsburgh Pirates gained a full contest on the league leading Giants as the record was achieved. Hubbell’s scoreless streik was started July 19 and broken after two thirds of the sixth Inning in yesterday’s game which the Boston Braves won, 3 to 1. Because of fractional innings pitched, there’s a difference of opinion whether Carl should be credited with 45 or 4(> innings. The official scorer turned the problem over to league-President .John Heydler for decision. Meanwhile Hubbell is unofficially credited with 46. Either 46 or 45 betters the former National mark of 44, which .stood the wear and t ar of 25 seasons. The old mark was established byEddie Ruelbach of the Chicago Cubsi back in 1908. The all-time major record of 56 was pitched byWalter Johnson in 1913 with Washington. Hubbell's string was snapped in the sixth yesterday- when, with two out, Randy Moore poked a single to center which scored Urhanski. and Jordan. Hubbell gave way to a pinch hitter in the Giants' sixth, and Adolfo Luqne pitched the closing three frames. Sliantv Hogan made a Boston homer in the seventh. Hubbell and Luque allowed the Braves seven hits, the same number Huck Betts yielded to the Giants. This defeat whittled the Giants’ head down to two and a half games over the Pittsburgh Pirates, who registered their eighth straight victory with a 9-to-3 triumph over St. Louis, dropping the Cards to fourth place as the Rid Birds' winning string under Frankie Frisch was served at six in a row. The Pirates hammered Walker. Vance and Johnson for 15 hits, getting off to a five-run lead in the first frame by combining five safeties and an error. Steve Swetonic. the Pirates' starting pitoher, and the Cards’ outfielder, George Watkins, were banished in the seventh for fist-fighting. They exchanged blows after Leo Durocher had been hit by a pitched hall. Other players and the umpires separated them. Waite Hoyt finished for Pittsburgh. He and Swetonic allowed eight hits Tony Piet and Earl Grace led the Pirate attack. The Chicago Cubs ended a sixgame losing streak and replaced the Cards at third place by boating held the Reds to five Hits, while his nutes hunched five of their six hits off Frey. Benton and Stout for their three runs in the third.

VIOLATIONS OF RECOVERY PLAN ARE DISCOVERED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) employers are seeking exemption from the blanket code through technicalities or by classification as borderline cases. There is every intention to administer the blanket agreements with justice to all and with a great degree of flexibility that will prevent undue hardships to individual enterprises. But some uneasiness has been aroused by the widespread tendency to cavil over fine points in the general code. “There really is no occasion for all this questioning,” one high official said. “Employers will he doing their part if they make a ■ effort to relieve the situation in a general way. They know the broad purposes of the agreement—ho put men back to work and get more money into the hands of the workers—and to resort to subterfuge or evasion is not in keeping with the great spirit of cooperation which the President desires. As administration of the recovery act proceeds, definite trends in the method of operation develop. One that has been particularly noticeable is the procedure of speedy open hearings followed by the settling of controversial questions in secret conferences. The steel hearings required only
