Opener Beautiful to Watch Until

Hubbell Fell Apart in Sixth, Joe Says

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Speaking of the first game of the World Series. It was at once a great ball game and an awful pain in the neck. For five innings it was a beautiful pitchers’ battle. And in this battle you had to take Carl Hubbell of the Giants over Lefty Gomez of the Yankees. Not that Gomez was bad. Anything but. The point was Hubbell was as close to perfection as it is possible to be without being perfection itself. The first man to face him, Frank Crosetti walked. The next man, Red Rolfe struck out. The third man, Joe DiMaggio, singled to left. The next

Williams two were reason=

.ably easy outs. ‘From then on—up to the big sixth inning — Hubbell was as great a pitcher as ever appeared in any World Series. The next 14 men who faced him went down in order. Meantime the Giants had gotten to Gomez for three hits and one run. Considering one thing and another, no run ever looked bigger. And it was a run the Yankees deliberately gave the National League champions. That should ‘have been the tip off. : : This was a gesture of magnificent insolence. Here the most powerful club in baseball was facing one of the greatest pitchers in baseball— and at a time when this pitcher was at his best. It seemed to be a game that one run might easily win. Yet when a situation developed where, playing safety first baseball—they call it percentage baseball in the dugout—the run might be stopped, the Yankees purposely arranged their defense in such a way that— again if the percentage stood up— the Giants couldn’t help but score. In effect, the Yankees said “nuts, we'll give ‘em one run. What's one run to us. Before the game is over we'll make plenty.” It seems reasonable to assume this was the psychology of the Yankees. They don’t win games by one run. Not as a rule. They win games by many runs, as is befitting the most powerful hitting club in baseball. :

You Can’t Figure

Those Yankees

.This particular situation developed in the fifth inning. It was the one troublesome inning Gomez had. Ripple led off with a single to right. McCarthy followed with a hit through Lazzeri—a ground ball that the old Lazzeri, or rather the young Lazzeri, would have converted into an easy out. Runners were on first and third! and none down. And up to now neither team had scored. In such circumstances percentage baseball says bring the infield in, stop the runner at the plate. What did the Yankees do? They backed deep, to the green rim of the outfield. They said “we’ll get two men on the next play, we’ll give em a run, but we’ll get out of this hole.” Now it's always a gamble when you play back for a doubleplay—the guy always has the chance to hit the ball out of the park—but it’s a good gamble. It’s percentage baseball, Man¢uso was the next hitter and he hit into a double play. The run came over, and to repeat, it looked like a big, fat; juicy run at the time. But that was the only run that came over. It was now up to the slugging Yankees to go out and get some runs themselves. This they eventually did. They seemed to know they would. The confidence they had in themselves was superlative. It came close to being the feature of the ball game,

The Beginning of The End for Carl

Trailing by one run they went into the sixth inning. They were facing a pitcher who had completely handcuffed them. DiMaggio, the third man up in the first inning had reached first on a soft single—a hit he had delicately stroked over third base, So far as the Yankees were concerned the inbetween innings were a perfect blank. It was a case of three up and three down. That is until the sixth. The first man up in the sixth was Gomez, a notoriously weak hitter. Hubbell lost him. He couldn't get ‘the ball over and tlie pitcher walked.

Few people realized it at the moment but that was the beginning of the end. Hubbell was beginning to weaken. He had been under such strain from the start, throwing one screwball after another, he had nothing to fall back on. In a twinKling his skill and stamina faded. After Gomez walked the next three men got singles. With the bases full DiMaggio hit to center field. Two men came in. To all practical intents and purposes this decided the ball game. Before the inning was over Hubbell was out and two other pitchers tcok charge of the {futile

crusade. ”

Giants’ Infield Didn’t Help Much

You will read today that spotty infield play contributed to Hubbell’s departure. This is entirely correct. The Giants collapsed at a spot where they figured to be supremely strong—in the region of second base. Bartell made a grave error, dropping the ball after Mancuso had caught Gomez of second, Laier on, at a less critical moment, Whitehead, whose chief distinction as a big leaguer stems from his fielding skill, let a ball from Lazzeri’'s bat get away from him. These lapses were impor-

Purdue Ends Out Of Carnegie Tilt

LAFAYETTE, Ind. Oct. 7 (U. P.). —Two veteran members of the Purdue eleven, important cogs in the Boilermakers’ offensive and defense, will be on the sidelines nursing injuries Saturday when Purdue entertains Carnegie Tech. . Don Powell, regular left end, and Jim Zachary, rangy, pass-catching right wingman, will be out of action. Powell dislocated an elbow last week-end in the game with Ohio State and Zachary pulled a tendon in his ankle during practice yesterday. Wendell Britt and Swede Thursby, sophomores, are being drilled for Powell's position. Zachary’s post will be taken over by Bill Vergane, Jack Krause or George Spehn,

tant in more ways than one—but mainly because they showed that even in the Giants’ greatest defensive strength there were tragic flaws.” This happens to be typical of World Series play. The standup guys don’t always stand up. » ” 8

Bill Terry Pulled

Boner, Too, It Seems

You will also read that Bill Terry, the manager of the Giants, pulled a terrific boner in this same sixth inning when he ordered the infield to play close up instead of back. And perhaps he did. But it seemed to me to be unimportant. Certainly in view of the final returns, with Dickey at bat, the bases full and none out, Terry waved the infield in to cut off a possible run at the plate. ? Dickey responded with a simple roller which went through Whitehead at second base. It went through him because he was playing in close. Had he been playing back it would have meant a made~ to-order double play. And I am inclined to agree with the savants of the press box, he and the other infielders should have been playing back. But I can’t get away from the fact that the Yankees had already scored two runs in the inning —and that’s all they needed to win. You can argue all week that Terry pulled a skull but you can’t get away from those two runs.
