Here it is—the one 1 believe will successfully defend the Noel Hauser Trophy for years to come. “you can rest assured, Northrup, that unless we can make the Cardinals a stronger club in trading Dizzy Dean we will not do so. our only thought in considering & trade for Dizzy is the strengthening of the Cardinals. for 8 Merry Christmas, I remain, vour truly, Sam Breadon, president St. Louis Cardinals.” I can picture Little Northrup when he received this answer (it was by wire, and I trust not sent collect).

BOWLING SQUAD ACTION TO END TONIGHT

. ++ Glenn Morris’ decathlon victory at Berlin , , . Lou Gehrig's “iron man” feats , , , Larry Kelley's phenomenal pass-catching . . . These are only a few of the heroic individual deeds of 1936: There were many others and one of them was carved out by Carl Owen Hubbell, lanky southpaw from Meeker, Okla. For many reasons Hubbell’s magnificent pitching for the New York Giants is the United Press nomination for the year's outstanding individual feat. 1. Won 16 straight games; longest winning streak by a National League pitcher in 24 years. 2. Most effective National League pitcher with an earned run average of 241. 3. Best won and lost record in the National League with 25 victories and 6 defeats for a mark of 813. 4. Inspirational leader in the

Giants’ drive from second division |

to the pennant. The records are filled with praise of Hubbell, who as time goes on niay win a niche in baseball's hall of fame as the game's greatest southpaw. Since 1912 only six others—Alexander in 1915 and 1916, Luque in 1923, Vance in 1924, Kremer in 1926, Root in 1929 and Warneke in 1932—have made a grand slam of pitching laurels in the National League by leading in both effectiveness and percentage. And Hubbell is the only southpaw gver to achieve that distinction. Hubbell lifted a mediocre team by its boot-straps to a pennant. With Hubbell blazing the trail the Giants climbed from fifth place in July to the pennant. He was the star of stars, the sports hero of 1936.
