Then there are the two former Dis- trict champions, Harry Saunders and | John Gourvenac. A few years back Saunders had no” equal among the pitchers in Star tournaments, but has | concentrated on the game only e modically since the rise of the Hen- | gons and Fryes, Fleshmans and Jar- rells, et al. But Saunders has pitched enough lately to regain the hang of things and easily might soar to his | old heights under the inspiration of | tournament play. In 1935 Harry hung | up the all-time Star tournament rec- | ord for a single game with 84 per cent ringers, and it was a long game. He was one of the early metropolitan champs. Gourvenac a Fighter. (GOURVENAC, when a Jad in .ie | late teens, won the District title. | The standard of pitching has risen greatly since then, but Johnny, t0o, is better, although for several vears he had no time to keep up with the game. He and Saunders are come- | backers of sorts. Gourvenac, of mild demeanor, has s lot of calculating French fight in him and is one of the best competitors in the entire tournament. A newcomer to the game here, H Ronning, who came from that hotbed of hoss-shoe flipping, Ohin, figures to be no set-up.

BY GRANTLAND RICE. ARL HUBBELL'S recent diffi- culties with enemy hitters have caused some of the base ‘ ball experts to whisper—be- ing unwilling to come right out and | say so—that the Giant's great left- | hander is through. They point out that Carl isn't merely losing b‘}l‘ games, as he did once in a while in | | the past—on days when he wasn't blowing the enemy down—but that he is being pasted solidly and that he digs pitfalls and traps for himself with his wildness. This may be true.

A 10-Season Strain. T if Hubbell really is through—or is veering rapidly toward a point | when he no longer will be Bill Terry's | best bet as the Cubs or Cardinals or Pirates come storming into view—re- member that Carl has been pitching for a long while and that a fellow has | to wear out some time. Nobody gave | a thought to the time element when Hubbell was tacking all those brilliant | pitching victories together, but now that he is being shoved and bumped | around, a backward glance at the record is inevitable. | This, in case anybody has overlooked or forgotten it, is Hubbell's tenth year as a Giant—and behind those 10 years lay 5 years of minor league pitching, during which he twice came up for | trials with the Detroit Tigers. Fifteen | years makes a long and tiring haul over the base ball trails, major or | minor, especially for a pitcher, because, while a pitcher works only every four time for loafing or easy breathing, even when he is winning.

Only | once in the years since Hubbell came | HD from Beaumont to join the Giants | have they been out of the fight for | the pennant. That was in 1932 when, | with John McGraw's health failing and his influence over his players wan- | ing they fell into last place—and | wound up the campaign under Terry | locked in a tie for sixth In the other years they always were there or thereabouts—winning lhfl‘ pennant or being shaken off only in the stretch. And always the man | on whom they leaned was Carl Hub- | He pitched the first game—and sometimes the last game, too—of every | vital series. He was the fellow who, always moving with an even stride \ came along and picked them up when | they had stumbled.

PIE HAD to meet the heaviest charges of the enemy hitters in | every campaign, because it is natural for a hitter to bear down harder against a good pitcher than he does against an ordinary pitcher—in self- defense, if for no other reason, be- cause he is up there protecting his meal ticket—which is his batting | Hubbell carried the hopes of the National League in the all-star game as they did in 1933 and again in 1936, they hung | their main reliance on his supple left arm. In other words, Carl has been on the spot continuously since July of | 1928, because, from the very begin- | | iously was an extraordinary | he s0 obv the team at that time were convinced | the Giants would have won the pen- nant that year if they had had Hub- bell in April and May.
