HUBBELL SLATED TO HURL TODAY Carl Hubbell Picked To Start Against Leading Pirates New York, May 13 <U.R> Carl Owen Hubbell, the tall, slim, silent southpaw, goes to the mound again today in quest of his 21st consecutive triumph. Sixteen of them came last year and four of them this season. There’s a big argument about whether Hubbell’s feat should go into the record books because it laps over two seasons. But everyone seems to have missed the two big points: (1) it’s tougher to pick up where you left off, and (2) Hubbell is the greatest pitcher of our time. Hubbell got a new nickname. "The Meal Ticket." this spring. A certain National league manager remarked in Florida: “Hubbell is Terry's meal ticket. When he’s through. Terry goes, too.” Bur leigh Grimes. Brooklyn, is supposed to have made the crack but he denies it. It also has been attributed to Chuck Dressen. Cincinnati, but he also disclaims its authorship Hubbell goes against the league leading Pittsburgh Pirates today. ' He picks no soft spots. When it's his turn Hubbell pitches. The Pirates are on a five-game winning streak and are setting an .824 , clip with 14 victories in 17 games. Nevertheless, the boys in the upner left field stands at the Polo grounds will lay 9-5 on ‘‘The Mea! Ticket” any time he goes. Pittsburgh beat the Giants yes terday. 65. coming from behind twice Bill Swift’s great relief Ditching in which he retired the Giants in 1-2-3 ordor in the last three innings and timely hitting by Gus Suhr, Al Todd, and Arky Vaughan won the game. Cliff Melton was knocked out of the box by the Pirates who collected 10 hits. The St. Louis Cardinals slugged three Philadelphia pitchers for 20 hits to trounce the Phils. 15-3. Joe Medwick hit two homers and two doubles, driving in five runs Bill McGeen became the first St. Louis pitcher other than Dizzy Dean or Lon Warneke to go the route since Bob Weiland did it April 27. Brooklyn moved within half a game of third place by knocking off Cincinnati. 5-1. Max Butcher held the Reds to fiva hits. Afte,getting only two hits off Lloyd Moore for six innings, the Dodgers scored five runs in the seventh to win. Charley Root held the Bees to five hits as the Chicago Cubs beat . Boston. 6-2. Two of the five hits , were homers by Gene Moore and Tony Cuccinello. Rip Collins drove in three runs with a homer with one on and a single. The Chicago White Sox hammered four Washington pitchers tor 12 hits and beat the Senators. 13-5. Vernon Kennedy allowed only eight hits. Zeke Bonura and Tony Piet led the White Sox at 'ack with three hits each. Other American league games were post-

TO DISTRIBUTE HATCHING EGGS State Distributes 75,000 Quail And Pheasant Eggs For Hatching Indianapolis, May 13.—Shipment of approximately 75,000 quail and pheasant eggs from the JasperPulaski and Wells county state game farms was started this week. Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the department of conservation, reported today. The eggs are being shipped to conservation clubs and individuals who will have them hatched and rear the birds to a suitable age for liberation. This propagation of game birds by the clubs and interested individuals supplements the production of the two game farms and makes possible a more thorough stocking of Indiana fields and woodlands. Free deliveries are being made to the more than 250 conservation clubs which have contracts with the division of fish and game for the propagation of game birds. The distribution of eggs to clubs which do not have contracts and to individuals who have made application. will be made later. Clubs having contracts with the division of fish and game will be paid for each bird reared and liberated. All pheasants and quail propagated by clubs and individuals are to be liberated in suitable territory when the birds are ten to twelve weeks old and reports are to be made on the number liberated. With the records kept on the number of birds distributed from tne game farms, the division of fish and game will have accurate information on the'number of birds liberated each year. The distribution of game bird eggs being made this year is the largest in the history of the department of conservation, representing an increase of approximately 5,000 over the number shipped in 1936.

EIGHT DRIVERS READV FOR TEST Speedway Qualifying Trials Scheduled To Start Saturday ImnSnapolls, May 13. — (U.R) Eight drivers were ready today to begin the fastest qualifying tests in the history of Indianapolis’ annual 500-mile race. Average speeds as high as 126 miles an hour were predicted for the 25-mile tests in which drivers will compete for the favored pole position in the May 31 classic. First prize money in qualifying trial history placed a new premium on speed. Gasoline restrictions

have been removed. To earn a place among the 33 starters, each driver must negotiate 10 laps around the two and one-half mile oval at an average of at least 110 miles an hour. Trials start Saturday and continue interinittenly until two days before the race. Ready to try it were: "Wild Bill" Cummings. 1934 winner, and Wilbur Shaw, both of Indianapolis and pole position favorites; Rex Mays. Glendale. Cal., who won the pole positions -'.n 1935 rn<i 1936 with around 120 miles an hour; Jimmy Snyder, Chicago; Babe Stapp, Los ; Angeles: Floyd Roberts, VanNuys. Cal.; Ted Horn. Los Angeles', and Billy Winn, Detroit. ‘ Cummings completed a lap at 125.34 miles an hour several weeks ago in his four-cylinder front-drive Boyle special. Shaw, driving the same ultrastreamlined four-cylinder car in which he led last year's race for 100 miles, turned in a lap of 125.43 i miles an hour and thinks he can “get a one-lap record of 126 miles an hour. Mays will make his challenge in the Italian-made Alfa Romeo in which an Italian team took most of the prizes from the Roosevelt raceways road meet last year. Mays was confident he could beat his 1936 qualifying mark of 119.644 miles an hour. Snyder promised to average 126 miles an hour “if this thing holds together.” Stapp said his car was capable of 127 miles an hour for the best lap and could earn the pole position at “around 126.” He will drive an eight-cylinder Maserati. Horn and Winn both said they would be shooting for 125 miles ,an hour. Roberts said he wanted to make 125. At least two other favorites may be ready to start qualifying trials this week-end. They are Louis Meyer, Huntington Park, Cal., defending champion and only threetime winner of the race, and Ralph Hepburn, Los Angeles veteran, | driving the car with which Meyer •won last year's race.
