THE QLD STYLE FISTIC BRAWLMARKS DUEL ~-OF HURLING STARS King Carl Calmly Watches Free- for-All Battle From Giants’ Dugout LOU FETTE DEFEATS REDS Bridges Turns Tables on Ath- letics 9 to O as Rain Keeps Yankees Idle CARDS, GIANTS &t. Louis, May 20—(?}—If some un- identified individual hadn’t brought one in from out in left field and hung it on Don Gutteridge’s eye, there would be little indication Thursday that the battle of the century was staged before 26,399 whooping fans at Sportsman’s park ‘Wednesday as Carl Hubbel, lean Gi- ant southpaw, turned in his 22nd ; Straight victory of the old and new seasons at the expense of Dizzy Dean and the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-1. ‘The good old days when the com- ing to town of John: McGraw's “Gints” meant open season for fist fights were revived by Bill Terry’s current model Wednesday, with the enthusiastic co-operation of the Cardinals, but aside from the in- dividual who took a bead on Gut-| teridge, other pleasure fighters pitched no-hit games. Sent Tempers Up It was not a spur-of-the-moment affair, that ninth-inning battle of the century. It was merely the ex- plosive culmination of a series of incidents which sent hot tempers to the bubbling over stage. The first few innings offered just good baseball. Dizzy, white tape gleaming on his maimed right thumb, occasionally turned loose a ball with no definite address, and which sent Giant batters diving in the dirt. Ducky Medwick, Card left fielder, poled a home run into the left field stands. Possibly that was an acci- dent too, (By the Associated Press) The pitching argument of the era Carl Hubbell’s brains vs. Dizzy Dean’s good right arm—is still a long way from being settled, but for the moment there seems little to offer against the nomination of “King Carl” as the best hurler in the game today. Despite his all-time high run of 22 straight victories, it was another angle, generally overlooked in the first-flinging and excitement of the 4-1 beating Hubbell and the Giants pinned on Dean and the Cardinals Wednesday, which explains as much as anything why old “squarepants” stands out like a Babe Ruth in a field of bush leaguers. ,. WEDNESDAY’S STARS Carl Hubbell, Giants — Muffled Cardinals with six hits, fanning seven and waking none in 4-1 vic- FREE -FOR- Killdeer Athletes TANGLE IN ALL FIST-FEST At any rate, although the Giants were grumbling over Dizzy’s free and easy manner of toying with their heads, there was no hint of serious trouble until the Giant half of: the sixth, when a balk was called on Dizzy which ultimately resulted in three Giant runs. The Gas House gang stormed and snorted, but to no avail. It was a balk, no less, to Umpire George Barr. When Jimmy Ripple, Giant center fielder, flattened in the dirt in the ninth to avoid a particularly hostile pitch, there was a hint of danger when he glanced toward the Giant dugout, nodded, then bunted down the first base line. It was foul, and he tried it again, luring Dizzy over to cover the bag as the ball rolled fair. er; Halliday Takes Second Place Honors team ‘distancing Halliday by 13% points for top honors. third with 26.

What happened thereafter is remembered by the nearly 27,000 howling fans as a wild confusion of rushing figures, swinging arms and wild shouts. The dugouts emptied like they were turned upside down. The two-man battle became a free- for-all, and when police and the umpires finally had restored order, the question of what to do about it all arose. One of the umps had seen Gus Mancuso with a playful head- lock on Mickey Owen, Card catcher, so it was decided to banish those two and let the original contenders re- main in the game. 18 feet 2 inches.

Dean in Tough Spot It may be unfair to compare Dizzy with Hubbell on the basis of Wednes- day's warfare, since Dean was given @ tough break when a balk was called against him in a tight spot in the sixth, leading to the Giants’ winning’ three-run rally. But the fact remains that Hubbell has demonstrated that when the heat is on he has few equals, Twice during the game, he showed his stuff in the clutch. When Ducky Medwick banged his homer, Hubbell immediately followed by fanning dan- gerous Johnny Mize and immediately afterward picked Lippy Leo Durocher'| off first. When Jim Brown singled to open the ninth, Hubbell didn’t bat an eyelash, but wound up the affair by fanning Medwick and Mize, two of the tougher hitters in the league. _ Night baseball made its seasonal debut in Cincinnati, with between 20,000 and 25,000 turning out to see the Boston Bees down the Reds, 3 to 1, behind Lou Fette. ‘ Carleton Huris Winner The Philadelphia Athletics’ Amer- ican League lead was cut to a slim percentage margin as they were trampled 9-0 by the Detroit Tigers behind Tommy Bridges’ five-hit flinging.

Hubbell Not Around «When Dean and Jim Ripple started the battle that wound up in a riot, with about everyone remotely con- nected with both teams taking pert, ‘Hubbell wasn’t anywhere around, And where was Carl when the lights went out? Why, down in the Giants’ dug- out, as cool as a keg of beer, enjoying the show. By his own explanation, Hubbell is paid to win ball games. And, since fist-throwing, in his opinion, doesn’t eome under the head of winning pitchers, ‘he kept both his seat and his head when the Giants poured out of their dugout to mix it. After it was all over, he calmly re- sumed his task of mowing the Cardi- nals down and wound up with his sixth straight victory of the season.

Several reasons are advanced for the club unanimously picked to finish last for the third straight season be- ing first in mid-May and playing the fastest and most entertaining and ag- gressive ball in the loop. Bill Cissell undoubtedly is the key man, and Bill Werber has the A’s do- ing things they haven’t thought of since Connie Mack broke up his last championship array. The battery of George Caster and Earl Brucker is as formidable as any in either major ie: There’s Chubby Dean at first But it all simmers down to Mack himself. Each member of the club credits the Old Man with his reju- venation or rise, as the case may be. At 74, Mack still is outmanaging the major league field. Someone has figured out that it cost Mack less than $75,000 to asse! ble the 22 athletes now on the Phils delphia roster. That is almost unbe- lievable until you analyze the outfit. It is amazing when you consider that Mack has peddled players for 10 times that amount in the last four years— Cochrane, Grove, Foxx, Simmons, Dykes, Haas, McNair, Orfmer, Mar- cum, Walberg, and Bishop.
