EW YORK, June 6.—Get your handkerchief ready because it won't be long before we have another tear jerker, Carl Hubbell is headin’ for the minors. . . . Don't be surprised if Bill Terry follows him hot footed because Terry, as a manager, has been perching on Hubbell’s left arm like a sparrow on a bush. , , . Maybe it was Bill's weight that wore out Hubbell. ,
We will now make the most amazing prediction of the year. . . . Harry Cooper will win the National Open Golf Championship at Philadelphia this week. . . . All you clowns can laugh, laugh, laugh at this forecast, this flying in the face of Guldahl, but I am naming a man who, if the record books do not lie, is the greatest hitter of a golf ball who ever lived.
1. ovER the flags to half mast boys, but the British polo team that
was beaten by the Americans in the first international cup match was a better side. . . . Handicapped by inferior ponies, the British had finer teamwork and a better setup of plays than the Americans who
won by rough riding. . . , Had the British been a bit more lucky converting fouls, they would have won as they should have. . .. It pains me to say this but Tommy Hitchcock has ridden out his string. . . . Father Time has swung a scythe more deadly than Hitchcock's mallet. . + . The once super Tommy is 10 goals in name only. . . . He cannot ride on the same field as a No. 2 with Cecil Smith, the screwball from the Panhandle,
If Lou Nova is thrown in with Joe Lewis in September he won't last as long as Galento will in their fight the last of this month. . . . According to my private ring statistician Galento figures to be in and out of the ring inside of two minutes. , . . The utter futility of putting up stop, look and listen signs at
Hubbell Is Minor Bound—and Mr. Ter

railroad tracks is proved by the fact that Nova and his manager, Ray Carlen, not only think they can lick Louis, but can knock him out. . . You won't believe me when I tell you this, and I don’t blame you, but Carlen and Nova are not worrying about Louis, but about how much gate the fight will draw. , . .

F Alice Marble does not win the Wimbledon championship this year, you can put her down as a second rate tennis player. ,.. If she is a first rate player, she will walk through Wimbledon without the loss of more than a set or two because women’s tennis is at the lowest ebb since the girls used to wear four petticoats. . . . With Moody over the hill, with Jacobs right behind her, with Dorothy Round a housewife and Senorita Anita Lizana the same, who has Marble got to beat? , .. The answer is no one but herself, the same

WINNING AND LOSING PITCHER BASEBALL ISSUES HELPFUL GUIDE
=
HERE have been so many inquiries from baseball readers as to determining the winning and losing pitcher when relief hurlers are employed, the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues’ Official Scorers’ Bureau has issued a guide to benefit writers and fans. ¥t is pointed out that the scorer must often use his own judgment in’ the matter, but there are certain recognized customs and the guide explains them. It is not possible to make hard and fast rules for determining which pitcher should be credited with victory or charged with defeat, but there are accepted rules helpful in arriving at a decision.
With Runners On Base
HEN one pitcher is relieved by another with runners on base, charge up all such runners, in case they score, to the first pitcher. The relieving pitcher coming into the game passibly “cold” and in the midst of a batting rally, should not be charged with the first batter he faces reaching first base if such batter had any advantage because of the poor pitching of the first pitcher, With the count two or three balls and one or no strikes—if the batter reaches first base, charge to first pitcher; if he strikes out or is otherwise retired, credit relieving pitcher, Count three and two—same as above. Count two and two—charge to relieving pitcher, whether batter is retired or gets on base. ” ” ”
un 2
HERE the relieving pitcher goes in with the score tied on even innings, he must win or lose the game, regardless of the number of innings or how effectively the first pitcher may have pitched. . . . If the first pitcher is relieved with the score in his favor, and later the score is tied up off second pitcher, then the latter wins or loses. A tie game at any stage (with no one on base) must be considered to all intents and purposes as the start of a new game for the second pitcher,
When Entitled to Runs
C THEN the first pitcher is retired after pitching, say, seven innings, he is entitled to the benefit of all runs scored by his side in an equal number of Innings ; For instance, Logan, of the home club, has pitched seven innings with the score 2 to 0 against him. . . , He is taken out when his turn at bat comes in the seventh, and before the close of that inning his team has scored two runs. , , . Logan retires with the game a tie, and the next pitcher becomes responsible. Do not always give the first pitcher credit for a game won, even if the score is in his favor, unless he has pitched at least five innings. If, however, he is taken out because of his team having secured a commanding and winning lead in a few innings, or is forced to retire through injury or illness, or is removed from the game by the umpire when his team has a commanding lead, then he is entitled to be credited with the victory. The judgment of the scorer must determine in such cases, as much depends on whether the pitcher was relieved because of ineffectiveness or for other reasons.
Charged With the Loss
EGARDLESS of how many innings the first pitcher may have R pitched, he is charged with the loss of the game if he is retired with the score against him, and his team is unable thereafter to either tie or overcome that lead. If pitcher retired from game, say at end of eight innings with the score against him, hut his team comes first to bat in the nintih and ores enough runs to win, give the win to the retiring pitcher and not to the one who pitches out the last half of the ninth. Where such a condition arises prior to the final inning, award the ame to the pitcher who did the best work. . . , If in doubt about this, ive it to the man who pitched the most innings.

NEW YORK, June 6 (U. P).— The New York Boxing Commissioners had better become inured to a little blood-letting if they want to see a lightweight title fight in New York this summer, Champion Henry Armstrong warned today. Homicide Hank, scheduled to defend the 135-pound crown against Lou Ambers Aug. 9, lost little time on returning from England in letting the Commission know he did

E anyone else how badly he is hurt.”
His manager, Eddie Mead, backed up Hammerin’ Hank vigorously and declared, “I will not permit Armstrong to risk his title against Ambers if a Commission member, sitting in the sixth or seventh row, can signal the referee to stop the fight because of blood.”
