| HUBBELL HAS | SIGNED;NAME ON CONTRACT Giant Pitcher Is Given Raise for 1935 Ball Season NEW YORK, Jan. 22— Carl Hubbell, lean left-handed act of the New York Giants' pitching corps, has sent in his signed con- tract for 1935. It is understood he will receive $16,000 for his: season's work. Last year he got $12,500. Hubbell led both major leagues last year in the earned run aver- ages, allowing opposing teams only 2.30 runs per game. He won 21 cames and lost 12 and appeared in 50 games which was one more than the hard-working Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals appeared in, Hubbell worked in 313 innings and in this respect was second only to Van Mungo of the Brooklyn Dodgers who toiled through 316 innings. Terry Razzed Bill Terry, manager, drew a| round of adverse criticism from New York fans when he offered to trade Hubbell a few weeks ago. At | that time many informed baseball men believed Bill had spoiled the effectiveness of his star pitcher in} making such an offer and it is now believed the large increase Hubbell received was made in large | part to assuage his injured pride. Hubbell has been the backbone | of the Giants’' pitching staff since | the day he joined the team in| 1927 from Beaumont in the Texas | League. If you want to go places in an athletic way—hitch your wagon to a star. That's just what George Lott did when he decided to turn profes- sional. He forgot his personal feud with Bill Tilden and signed up to play tennis under the O'Brien banner with Stars Tilden and Vines. Of course, Lott felt that the mon- ey was there. He hopes to net something like $20,000 this coming year, but more than that—he knew that his own game was certain to improve as the result of his match- es with the Old Master. He cites the amazing strides Ellsworth Vines has made with his tennis in the time he has played with Tilden. Lott told of a wager he made with a friend—he bet that after the first three matches with Til- den, he would win from ‘‘Big Bill” more often that he would lose. A champion himself, he shared the national doubles championship five times. Lott welcomes the op- portunity to help his own game by frequent matches with Tilden. Lott’s reasoning applies to every field of athletic activity. The surest way to improve your own game is to meet the finest per- former in that particular sport. Playing with easy-marks and set ups may please your vanity but it isn't likely to make you more proficient. No athlete is tested to the ultimate degree until he is faced with certain defeat. Fight! managers and experts are inclined to withhold judgment on a boxer until they have seen him *get up off the floor” and fight back. You are bound to learn a trick or two from the fellow who can beat you. In every opular competitive sport you will find a “bell-cow”— cham- pion or exeeptional performer who shows the way to the other ath- letes. That is one of the reasons- you often see a long line of outstanding performers in one sport at certain colleges. For example: year after year Yale has an abundance of great pole-valuters. Minnesota had an almost unbroken string of out- standing fullbacks in Joesting, Na- gurski, Manders and Kostka. Holy Cross usually has at least one base-ball player of major league possibilities on its nine. The New York Athletic Club at- tracts the best water-polo players | because Joe Ruddy, the greatest player of them all, holds forth there. % Until Paavo Nurmi came overl &y e g Here about 10, years ago and, show- : ed the boys how fast a mile could | be run, 4:20 was considered rat- tiing good time.

PIRATES KEEP BATTING ACES PITTSBURCH Jan. 22— The crowning of Paul Waner as Na- tional League batting champion for 1934 primped the plumes of Pitts- bergh’s proudest baseball tra tion. In 12 of the senior leagu 59 pennant races the batting cor net has graced a Pirate brow. No rival club is close enough to shake Pittsburgh's supremacy for the next few years. e The tradition is kept sparkling by | the presence on the ball field daily of Honus Wagner as Pirate coach, Hefty Honus it was whose winning of eight batting titles between 1900 and 1911 was mainly responsible for perching the Western Pennsylvania |city at the top of the list. The first Buccaneer to become batting champion was Jake Sten- zel in 1893. No, subsequent Corsair champ, not even Wagner, amassed an average as high as Jake's .409. Clarence Beaumont was king in 11902 and Big Poison had the 1927 diadem to his credit before stepping out and crashing his way to the 1934 prize. Next to Pittsburgh, Chicago and St. Louis are tie with eight each. Six times it was Rogers Horns- | by who took the title down to St.| Louis. i Seven of the eight batting cham- | pionships won by Chicago players | were achieved in the first eight | years of National League history, | when Cap Anson's Colts ruled the diamonds. Since Cap himself was | king in 1883, Chicago has won | plenty of pennants but has Iur-‘ nished only one batting champion, Heinie Zimmerman, the 1912 top- notcher. ; ———,—— METHODIST CHURCH NOTICE | Important meeting of Methodist | Church members and interested | friends will be held Thursday, Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. sharp at the| 7 —adv.| home of Ronald Lister.
