GIANTS BANK LAST HOPE ON CARL HUBBELL Terry To Send Ace Southpaw Back In Effort To Win Game New York. Oct 9 (U.PJ —Like] King Canute, who commanded, the ) ' waves to stand still. Carl Hubbell . goes to the mound at the Polo I Grounds today in a desperate atI tempt to keep the Giants in the ) world series. I > The odds on Hubbell are about I j the same as they were on Canute. , who. if you remember, got his 1 feet wet. Th.") Yankees needed only to- | day's game to sweep on to four ' straight world series triumphs. ' They have beaten every pitcher ' Manager Bill Terry has sent i against them; they have averaged I seven runs a game; they have held I the Giants to three runs in 27 innings. I Chewing a fat cigar. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yankees reached far back into the rear row of his pitching strength and called on Bump Hadley, an iu-and-outer) t all season, to start against the I ' Giants. • What matters it. McCarhty reasi oned. who pitches for the Yankees., Iso long as DiMaggio. Gehrig.' ' Dickey and Co., are up there | swinging? , The Yankees have scored : enough runs in one inning of each I game to beat the Giants. Their, attack has rolled and roared like; ) the surf on a storm-whipped ] bearfl And there stands King Canute Hubbell today, commanding the i Yankee waves to stand still. There he is. seeking to beat l>ack the storm with the power of i his buggy-whip left arm; trying to I appease the roaring winds with a I drifting, dipsy-do screwhall. Once ' before in this series he tried and ■ took that long slow walk to the I dugout with Yankee base hits ringing a dirge in his ears That 1 was in the first game when they blasted him out of the box and the 1 waves roiled over the Giants. Thursday and yesterday he I slouched in the dugout and heard the roar and ring of Yankee pow--1 er. He saw Melton. Coffman. Schumacher. Gumbert. Brennan . and Smith blown high and dry on ■ the bench, derelicts of the storm • Yesterday's game was the same ‘ J old story. The Giants got their: customary one run. The Yankees., ! who made eight in each of the I first two games, went into a ter-1 < rific slump and only got five. The ' Giants brought the crowd, already j halfway out of the Polo Grounds, i back into the aisles by filling the I bases in the ninth inning. But■ Harry Danning, Giant catcher who | ■ had one foot on the glory road. ' hit a pop fly to center field and Joe DiMaggio buried the Giants' hopes in his big brown glove. All afternoon Monte Pearson had been curvng the Giants to death, outguessing them on the money pitches and nicking the I plate until the corners looked like ; the business end of a buzz-saw ' For five and two-thirds innings he ) didn't give the Giants a hit. and ‘ then Lou Chiozza bunted, and I ■ like the deer he is. beat it out I ' down to first. After that the! I Giants got four more hits and a j i run —not that it mattered. The only thing they could take I ] away from Pearson is that he lost I control in the ninth inning when | I the bases were filled and Manager , Joe McCarthy beckoned Johnny i (Grandma) Murphy from the bull pen to suppress the only Giant , threat of the day. ! EUROPE IS HEADED OyV) the Balearic Islands with a new * Italian air fleet but actually tele-1 phoned Mussolini at length from Palma. Majorca, yesterday afternoon. For the moment, every new development pointed to an explosive phase of Europe's diplomatic problems. There was belief that Mussolini deliberately delayed his reply on the volunteer question to show that he was not frightened by hints of British-French reprisals for his aid to the nationalists. More seriously. he dispatched a formidable force of troops to North Africa and again it was reported that he sought to impress France, whose Tunisia borders Italian Africa.

SAYS WOMAN INKEEPER COINED WORD "COCKTAIL Niagara Falls. N. V. — (UP) — Mrs. Betsy FlannSgan Hustler, credited with being the- inventor of the cocktail, is believed to have been buried somewhere in the village of Lewiston. A 'etter signed "Tom Collins” has ]be n received f’oy the Generators' g. .t»? of the Chamber of Commence which tells of a tavern operated by Betsy Flannagan during Revokitionary days near Yonkers. .It is the plan of the Generators to find the barmaid's graVe or the site of a tavern in the Lewiston area, in which Betsy is said to have mixed drinks. If either or both these places are found, fitting plaiques will be posted to commemorate the once fan-, -is barmaid. The origin of the cocktail, according to the letter received by ]the Generators, dates back to the Am. rican Revolution. One day some Americans raided a British commissary, and brought to Betsv some fowl, which she roasted. For the feat she decorated all .he bottles and bars in the tavern with tail feathers. One guest calLd » r a glass of the cocktail . . . hence, !the name. I After her marriage to Thomas Hustler. Betsy moved to Lewiston, where she op-rated a tavern in which James Fenuuore Cooper wrote "The Spy". In this book he referred to Betsy -as the originator of the cocktail. o ENGINE RAILS IN TEST OF SAFE SPEED Estcourt.

Fifteen times the engine ran down from different heights on the slope, gradually gaining a higher speed over the testing apparaQis each time as it , was allowed to gather more momentum. At a r- ed of ..ver 40 miles an hour, the engine and tender dashed toward the corner on its ' fatal" run They approached the curve lurching dangerously. Just at the end of the bend, which was a radius of only 300 feet, ths tender left the ’hie and swung outward from the coupling etlaching it to the engine. At once it pulled the engine off the line. With a deafening crash, the engine and tender overturned beside the rails. The tender, its steel plates twisted and two special vacuum tanks wrenched off. apparently was bey.-id repairs, but it was hoped that the engias would be capable of use in further tests. Dr. von Abo said the tests proved his theories* in regard to overturning speeds. o TOYS DO WORK IN MINIATURE LOGGINQ CAMP .I — - Stevens Point, W;s. — (UP) —' ■ From pieces of scrap iron and steel • Eric Kedrowicz has < on«trucled a i miniature sawmill complete with i steam engine, .oggtng sleighs, flat i cars, and miniature pine trees.
