THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1934. BRINGING UP FATHER gfl' GOLLY! 'M 50O LEEPY- I'™M GOIN; HOME - 1 MUSTN'T LET ANY OF T s MY OFFICE FORCE SEE ME ASLEEP=-» The National League’s chief exe- cutive, John Arnold Heydler, need not go into hiding anywhere or apologize to his friends and asso- ciates oyer the second straight de- feat of his all-star array of ball players. When all who saw or heard the details of the 1934 Battle of the Polo Grounds forget all about the score they will still be telling their grandchildren how Carl Owen Hub- bell struck out the Big Five of the American League in succes- sion in the first two innings with that bobbing, weaving, fluttering thing they call the “screw ball.” It’s an old refrain by now 'round the big league benches but mark it down for posterity that with two men on bases, Hubbell fanned Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jim- mie Foxx in rapid-fire order, then picked up where he left off by striking out Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in the next inning. The more you think or read about it, the BIGGER this marvelous per- formance becomes. It grows on your imagination. JUST ONE LOUD FOUL! Put it this way: here were five of the greatest batsmen in the game, each and every one anxious to do his stuff in the year’s most spectacular game before a crowd of 50,000 fans Together they have held at least a dozen batting championships, belted every pitch- er who ever faced them before, hit a grand total of over 1200 home runs in a life-time of slug- ging and chalked up nearly al the existing records for runs-bat- ted-in. All had heard plenty about Hubbell how his “dipsy-do” ball came floating up there and then just disappeared, but they were all, or nearly all, skeptical Only Cronin knew by considerable first-hand experience how cult it is to hit Hubbell when he is really good. Yet the five got exactly ONE LOUD FOUL off Mr Hubbell's puzzling delivery. Jack Doyle, the Broadway com- missioner, would probably have given you 100 to 1 against even the possibility of whiffing Ruth Gehrig and Foxx in successior after the first two men to face Hubbell had reached base, He wouldn't have feli he was being a bit generous either, at the pricc and it would have been possible to write your own ticket against King Carl making it five in a row against such opposition Having done it once, of course, the odds on Hubbell doing the trick again if and when hre had the oppor- tunity, would be considerably shor- ter, but who cares about that now? He did it once and the HURH L AINT RUNNING A BUSINESS. THIS LOOKS MORE LIKE A LODGIN=HOUSE - By GEORGE McMANUS .
