I Sore Arm Kept Whitehill Out of First Game
He HafcJ Been Counted on To
Give Hubbell Fight
In Opener
BY ALAN GOULD
WASHINGTON. Oct 6. f/P>—New
that Earl Whitehill has pitched the
Senators back Into the World Set
ies scramble with a shutout con
quest of the Giants, the “inside
story" may be told as to why the
American League champions de
layed sending their one best fling
ing bet to the firing line until the
third game.
“Whitehill. as most of you fel
lows figured, was selected bv Mana
ger Joe Cronin to oppose Carl H ib
bel1. in the opening game of the
series” revealed Clark Griffith,
president of the Senators, “but he
developed a sore arm for the first
time in his life bv bearing down
too hard in a workout against the
Yankees last week.
“We had counted on WhPehi!] to
give Hubbell a great duel, posslolv
win and put the Giants in % naif i
hole at the very outset. Tt was the
logical thine for us to do. Hut. he

MORALES AND
CRUZ IN DRAW
Johnny Cruz Is as clever as ever,
but he got to better than a draw
in his ten-round main event with
“Gorilla*’ Morales at the Vet Artra
Thursday night. This bout. ;i!led
with clever action, was the best
Brownsville fans have seen since
legalised fights made their debut
at the Vet arena.
Johnny did some masterful
blocking with his right hand which
many of the fans apparently failed
to see. Morales was aggressive and
did some clever work but he failed
to land a solid punch on the vet
eran San Antonio battler.
Neither of the boys seemed to be
hurt, but they mixed It at a fast
pace throughout the 10 stanzas.

hard against the Yankees, After
ward hia nrm failed to respond
rapidly to treatment, it was bak
ed and massaged. He worked care
fully the day before the opening
game but he wasn’t quite right and
we switched to Wally Stewart as
the next best man likely to stop
the Giants.
“As it turned out, Stewart lacked
just enough control to be at bis
best. A change of pace that lie in
tended to travel low sailed high
and in the grove for Mel Ott who
hit the ball out of the park.
“You saw what Whitehill did to
Ott as well as Terry, yesterday. He
had them handcuffed. Together,
they got only one ball out of"the
infield."
Griffith’s disclosure solves one of
the things that has been ousrimg
the experts most since the series
started; by what devious process
did the Senators arrive at their
plan of pitching strategy?
On the basis of today's evidence,
it develops that the strategy was
Games Up Friday
PLAYGROUND BALL
Friday—Elks vs. Veterans, Rotary
vs. Eagles.
Four clubs in the Brownsville
Playground Baseball league will at
tempt to improve their standings
in games to be played here Friday
night.
The Elks, anxious to get started,
are to battle the Veterans in the
, opening contest, while the Rotarians
are to take on the Eagles, de
fending champions. The Rotarians
have added one J. W. (Red* Irvine

Senators’ Star Southpaw
Now Must Wait
7th Game
all right but that the execution was
spoiled by Whitehill's sudden de
velopment of a sore arm. “Whitey”
has always been known among
baseball men as a “rubber arm”
pitcher, the kind who could step in
to a training camp on the first day
and cut loose If he wanted to or
bear down without worrying of the
consequences. He had enjoyed his
greatest year, winning 22 games.
Had Whitehill been able to pro
duce on the opening day the kind
of pitching he showed the Oiants
yesterday, the entire complexion of
the series would have been chang
ed. In all probability he would have
beaten Hubbell, whose shaky de
fense let !n two runs, and the Sena
ters would have enjoyed the stim
ulating effect of being "on top."
instead of being punched back on
their heels so quickly that they did
not recover until thrv lost two
straight.
So what? So the Senators now
have a shutout pitcher who prob
ably won’t be ready to pitch again
unless the series goes the limit of
seven games. Instead of having
Whitehill on the same “overtime”
'easis as Hubbell, who drew his
second assignment for this after
noon, the Senators must make an
unprecedented rally for the op
portunity of playing their ace again
It isn’t an alibi now. for the
Senators spirits revived, nave
strong faith In Deaver. as well as
in the ability of Stewart and Crow
der to come back and Whitehill to
be ready for the finishing ♦ouches.
But it still leaves them “in the hole”
today, with Hubbel and Schumach
er. the two winning pitchers of the
Giants, coming up In succession
again.

The scramble for the “B" grid
championship of the Valley will be
narrowed down Friday when fix
clubs are to tangle in conference
battles.
The most important of these will
pit two undefeated clubs—the Wes
laco Panthers and Mercedes Tigers.
The Panthers opened the reason
with a victory over the Mission
Eagles while the Tigers warmed uo
with an easy win at the expense
of the Santa Rosa Warriors. The
; Tigers are defending champions
and have the further advantage of
playing on their home grounds Fri
day.
The La Feria Lions, who opened
the season with a resounding 51-0
victory over Raymondville. will get
a real test at Donna Friday. The
Lions appear to be one of the lead
ing clubs in the “B” race this seas
on. Donna opened the year by fall
ing before the Rio Hondo contin
gent 6-0.
McAllen, rated as the outstand
ing “B" club, should have little
trouble in winning at Edlnf^Trg.
The Bulldogs gave the fans a Jolt
last week by trouncing the Har
Ungen Cardinals. The Bobcats went
down before San Benito last week
Alice is to visit Mission for a

“Uncocking of the wrists” Is in
expression used to cover the ac
tion of the wrists during the
downswing.
It’s one of the most popular
phrases used in present day in
struction—and one that does
much to handicap the player in
making his swing.
The wrists should unbend dur
ing the downswing, but any con
scious effort on your part to main
them unbend will only upset you
swing a* a whole.
Bend your wrists properly u
the backswing and if you keei
your chin back, you'll get th
proper wrist action in your down
swing.

lini's project to surround Dante’s
tomb with a "zone of silence" has
been put into effect here.
The premier ordered that all
traffic should be diverted from
streets around the great poet's
resting place and that unsightly
buildings marring its monumental
effect should be removed. The
program involves tearing out a
number of old dwellings.
The Idea of the zone of silence
originated in a popular fascist slo
gan that only n Duce himself
could speak of the poet In big
enough terms .

EAGLES MEET I
HOUNDS TODAY
Brownsville Club Showing
Lola of Power In
Practice
The '33 edition of the Browns
ville Screaming Eagles, a club
which has shown much promise in
practice, was to make its debut at
3:30 p. m. Friday on Tucker Field
with ancient foes, the San Benito |
Greyhounds, furnishing the op
position.
The Brownsville club, relatively
inexperienced, has been grinding
away for three weeks and is now in
good condition. The eleven has not1
begun to click smoothly as a unit,
but even with some ragged play I
the club has shown power in scrim- |
mage.
John Cooper, a big back who can
run, plunge, kick and pass. Is the
key man m the backfield. However,
the club still runs smoothly with
Louis Fernandez, Billy Putegnat,
Bill Blanton and Jack Ellington
forming the backfield. Putegnat is
developing into a blocker de luxe.
Blanton is hard to snag in an open
field and Fernandez and Ellington
have speed to burn.
The Eagle line is a low-charging
scrappy unit which should give the
Hounds a busy afternoon.
San Benito has the advantage of
one victory over the Edinburg Bob
cats. The Hounds are likely to
flash an aerial attack In offsetting
the scatting ability of the Browns
ville backs.

Friday Appears To
Be Good Scrap
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN, Oct. 0.—The main
•vent at the Legion Arena here Fri
day night, pitting Mike JMartinea
against Kid Monterrey, has the ear
marks or a real scrap.
Martinet put up an excellent ex
hibition in his first appearance by
decisionlng Dick Wymore, a free
swinger. He tried hard in his second
fight, but his bout with Jimmy
Azareila. a defensive boxer, did not
prove so satisfactory to the fans.
Taking all of this into considera
tion. the management has matched
Martinet against another free
swinger—Kid Monterrey. Tlielr
styles are expected to click togeth
er in such a manner aa to give
the fans plenty of action.
In his last start Martinet got a
draw with Azareila, while Monterrey
was splitting a decision with Dick
Wymore.
The semi-final will bring togeth
er Jiggs Stockton, former Harlin
gen boy now enlisted at Ft. Ring
gold, and Raul Mendiondo. a Har
lingen product who is being boost
ed by Lupe Rodriguez, the former
big leaguer.
