HUBBELL TO SEEK 21ST STRAIGHT VICTORY TODAY

Carl to T ake Turn Against Top Rung Bucs

Cards Trounce Phillies, 15-3; Brooklyn Advances, At Expense of Reds. |

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 13.—Carl Owen Hubbell, the tall, slim, silent southpaw, goes to the mound again today in quest of his’ 2Ist consecutive triumph. Sixteen of them came last year

and four this season. There's a big argument about whether Hubbell's

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 | =u (2) Hubbell is the greatest pitcher | of our time. Hubbell got a new nickname, “The Meal Ticket” this spring. “A cex- | tain National League manager re- | marked in Florida: ‘Hubbell Terry's meal ticket. When through, Terry goes too.” Burleigh | Grimes, Brooklyn, is supposed to | have made the crack, but he denies | it. It also has been attributed t Chuck Dressen, Cincinnati, but he also disclaims its authorship. Swift Pitches Well | Hubbell goes against the league-! leading Pittsburgh Pirates today.

of performance they are playing better baseball than any other team in either league. They are playing at an .800 gait, give or take a few points. They haven't dropped a series so far, unless you would call the one game with the Cardinals a series. And who would? Is this just a sun-kissed May freak or will the Pirates keep on turning back the opposition with stout hitting, fine pitching and tight defensive play? Through custom I almost added spirit—but this is the one thing the Pirates aren’t supposed to have. How they happen to be leading the league now without it, I wouldn't know. Perhaps the Gulf Stream is changing again.

When Spirit Comes Easy

Personally I place no great stress jon spirit in professional baseball. | Through the years -it has been my observation that spirit is largely dis- | tilled by opportunity. I mean to {say such clubs as are distinguished {for their flaming ardor are usually {the ones that find themselves with | a chance to win the pennant. | Broadly sbeaking all clubs have a certain amount of spirit but it’s only the ones that are in the thick of the race that give it the true expression. And this is understandable. They have something to fight for; the others haven't. The professional ball player is pretty much a stencil in human behavior. To him the game is a business. And it's ‘a business that doesn't last very long. He'll be lucky if he stays in it 10 years; so he isn’t going to take any extreme chances on being overly spirited. Unless he happens to be an exception like Ty Cobb, who was built that way by

I know I'll thrill to the chase, because the pursuit of Reynard the fox via horseback, runs in the McLemore blood. Take my Uncle Lem. for example. My Uncle Lem on my mother's side. There was a time when Uncle Lem never went anywhere without hounds behind. The State of Georgia pack—blood, not fox—with the sheriff as master, used” to chase Uncle Lem about two times a month.
