Hubbell Losing Pitcher As Revamped Cubs Rally

To A Defeat

IN THIS CORNER

Softball got away to a flying ptart last night at the Park diam- ond when the Imperials came from behind to defeat the 8th Battery squad in a game that really pro- duced sniart playing for so early in the season. It was really a pitch- er's battle between Pete Kelly and Ray Stull all the way through with each hurler extrlcating himself from difficulties with flashes of

And there was a fair sized at- tendance at the encounter which speaks well for future contests. Fans who saw last evening's tilt were surprised at the form being shown and the pep and hustle that is so much part and parcel of the game was there in abundance. There wasn't a dull moment once the teams squared away for the start and right up to the second- lsst inning the outcome was in doubt with many of the spectators envisioning an overtime contest.

Tonight the other two teams in the league. Rovers and Bees. swing into action and judging by reports emanating from the camp of the Bees last year's champions are go- ing to have a tough time of it chalking up theirdiiiltial victory.

But one thin: that should be remedied immediately before it be- comu a. habit ls to have the squads start on scheduled time. Last night both squads were lax in this re- spect and as a result the game was ofl to a laie start, and if this is repeated without any check being made it will become worse and worse and fans will grow less and

Nothing irks a fan more than to have to wait l5 or 20 minutes for a contest to start. They may come back the second time or perhaps aven the third time but after that they stay away. Only the teams themselves are responsible and it is up to them and them alone to see that it does not haDDcn this reason.

Rosen Holds No Regrets In

ts Of Pitchers

(By Paul Mlclrelson, Assoc-huh Press Sports Writer)

NEW YORK. May 18—Once in a. while a fellow comes along breaking hearts without one smack of remorse.

For instance, there's Goodwin George’ Rosen, young southpaw centrefielder for Brooklyn. Twice in three weeks the Toronto boy has broken the heart of a big league pitcher by smashing out a safe blow that blasted the pitcher's chance of a. no-hit, no-run game. He did it against Hal Schu- machei- of the Giants April 24 and repeated against Fiddler Bill McGee of St. Louis yesterday. And he is not one bit sorry. For the 24-year-old Jewish lad from Toronto, never has found any one, especially no ball pitchers, sorry for him as he came up to

g big time over a trail strewn with

heartaches and disa polntments. 1f he hadn't possesse an almost insane desire to make good Schu- macher and Fiddler McGee now might have been toasted in base- ball's hall of fame for perfectly- pitched games.

"I didn't apologize to Schu- macher and I don't intend to tell McGee I'm sorry for sort of break- i their hearts," he said between w acks at batting rpractlce. “All I'm sorry about is that I got only one hit in each game. Wished I'd have banged out four for four in each. I'm just a young guy try- ing to get along who doesn't see any pitchers giving away anything out there day after day. 1n fact, both of these hits were a. case of them 0r me. Ari. it was me." "Goodle's“.case was that a good. little man who had to show 'em all he still was big enough to be a good ball player. Now he's bat- ting .358 for Brooklyn.
