MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 21 &) If
Carl Hubbell wins a place in
baseball history as a farm execu
tive as well as a great pitcher,
Eddie Brannick can ana prob-
Klw will env "T tnld VOU SO."
The New York Giants' secre
tary sounded some woras 01
praise today for the left-hander
who became head of the club's
farm system after his hurling
days were over.
"He'll do as good a Job as
Branch Rickey or any of them
have done," Brannick predicted.
"He's going to be a big man. The
fellow's got plenty of ability."
Brannick said that Horace
Stoneham, Giants' president, is
well satisfied with Hubbell's
work.
"He's just the type of man
that Mel Ott needed," the fast
talking secretary continued.
"You know that he and Ott are
very close friends, and were al
ways together even before Mel
became manager."
Brannick said that Hubbell
"gets all kinds of mail from peo
ple giving him leads about play
er prospects."
"He's the kind of fellow that
every Tom, Dick and Harry ad
mire," he continued. "They all
want to meet him and talk to
him.
"And if they see any boy who
has some stuff, they like to tell
Hubbell."
Brannick said Hubbell is a
good judge of playing talent,
adding:
"He's energetic, too. He does
n't wait for leads. He goes out
himself to look for players. He
does the job the way it ought to
be done."
Brannick came to Miami for a
brief visit.

Cop Victory League Tilts,
In the Victory league last
night, the Herald and News Trot
ters eked out a close decision
over the Red Shields 26 to 25
and Jerry's delivery toppled the
Academy 50 to 20 on the KUHS
hardwood. .
In as close a battle as has been
fought so far in Victory league
play this season, the Trotters
were in trouble several times
during their fray with Red Shield
and the count was knotted at
16-all at halftime.
The lead changed hands many
times, but with Red Shield lead
ing 25 to 24 with about a min
ute to play, Rollie Berry canned
a bucket to give the Trotters
their margin of victory. Berry
collected six points for the press

SQUEEZE
Now that the golf pros are
lor war bonds insieaa ot actual casn, some oi me ooys una men
need for a new suit of underwear or a pair of shoes a bit press
ing, but not so with Lord Byron
Nelson, present kingpin of golf-
dom.
Lord Byron has a few outside
financial angles and the $40,000
he. won in bonds last year still
stands in as pretty a stack as you
would want to see. But some ot
the golfing gentry barely skid
by. They brave the perils of the
winter circuit in the hopes of
copping a title and some real
dough, but for every one who
cuts the mustard there are 50
others who don't quite made the
grade.
If a golfer on the tournament
trek falls to reach the top money
division, he necessarily eats less
than usual, he patronizes cheap
rooming houses, and he probably
soaks his socks and undies in the
bathtub instead of sending them
to the laundry.
If they lose out completely
they scramble back to their home
fairways to collect another stake to make the effort again. The
real tournament golfer is driven by the idea that someday he
will hit a hot streak and then watch out. The pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow is always beckoning.
Nelson knows what it is to
it! "I have won more than my share of championships," says
Lord Byron, "but I can remember the one which gave me my
biggest kick. It was the first one. When I entered the New York
Metropolitan in 1936 I was just another guy in the field. I had
exactly $5.07 in my pocket and the world looked none too bright.
But all of a sudden I put a good game together and won first
prize of $750. I tried to act nonchalant when they handed me
that check, but I don't suppose I fooled anyone. That night I felt
like a millionaire."
But here's the rub. If that
form of a war bond he would have been compelled to cash it in.
just like some of the present day
admits this fact.
It s a strange thing, but golfers, like other folks, have formed
the unfortunate habit of eating.
