NYACK, N. THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1968 IHE ROCKLAND COUNTY JOURNAL-NEWS HUBS bell's National League mark with 54 scoreless innings. (Two more will tie Walter Johnson's major league record.) There was no such animal as a Angeles fan when Hubbell packed it in. Out there they think the curve ball was invented by Sandy Koufax, and the only Doc White they every heard of is Eisenhower's heart specialist. Drysdale is just about the only hero left in Walter O'Malley's gaudy goat pasture now that Koufax and Maury Wills are gone.

Big, masterful, goodlooking and tireless, he has been a consistent winner since O'Malley first pitched his tripe and keister on South Figueroa Street. SUNKIST AND SINLESS Harlom skies were gloomy that Wednesday afternoon of Sept. 13, 1950, and so were many in the modest crowd assembled in the Polo Grounds to watch the Giants go through the motions against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Well, maybe gloomy isn't exactly the word, but there were faint misgivings among the older custom- ers' The older ones had been around in the 1930s when the princely Carl Hubbell held the hitters in thrall with the most poisonous screwball since the fabled fadeaway'of Christy Mathewson himself. Some perhaps had been present through the latter half of July, 1933, when Hub went 46 and 1-3 innings the equivalent of more than five 9-inning games without allowing a run.

Now a darkly stranger named Salva-tore Anthony Maglie had the audacity to challenge this record. Starting on Aug. 2fi finest product of nature's art. In all his 31 years, the only sin he has ever committed was to shake O'Malley down for $100,000 or so and that gets nobody barred from Disneyland. No doubt Drysdale's unprecedented streak will be cited as another example of the pitcher's sovereign authority in baseball today, but this would be giving the individual less than his due.

'Drysdale had pitched 40 shutouts before this season started and he now has seven more than any other Dodger since Father Chadwick covered the club for the Brooklyn Eagle. He is a pitcher who would have been a star in any era, whose 197 victories- top all past Dodgers including that rednosed Brooklyn immortal, Dazzy Vance. Let him win just 56 more and he can be mentioned in the same breath with Hubbell. when the Cardinals peppered him for 11 hits yet somehow failed to score, Maglie had added a second shutout against the pirates, made it three in a row by slamming the door on the Phillies, and ran his scoreless streak through 39 consecutive innings by subjugating the Dodgers. That was all right.

Indeed, it was admirable, especially for a member of a club that had wallowed in the second division until September. But who the hell was this Sal Maglie to be putting himself up there on a level with the matchless Hub-bell? THE RENEGADE Except for one summer nine yeans earlier when he won 20 games for Elmira, he'd never even cut the mustard in the minors. What's more, he was a renegade who had jumped to the outlaw Mexican League in 1946 and come skulking back only after a lawsuit by a sadly comic figure named Danny Gardella had scared Happy Chandler into lifting the ban against wetbacks like him. What the fans were only beginning to realize was that his four seasons in Mexico had changed an unpolished busher into a mature pitcher of sagacious skill, a coldblooded competitor whose name would frighten children in Brooklyn for years to come. He was having a big season that first summer back in the States and would finish the year with an 18-4 record for the best winning percentage in baseball.

Even so, to compare this upstart with the incomparable Hubbell was sacrilege in the old guys' eyes. They watched him with grudging, almost resentful respect as he made his crafty way through the Pittsburgh batting order. Hollow-eyed and unshaven, he worked confidently in a misty rain. Through six innings he held the Pirates off and now the string reached 45 innings. Four more putouts and he would be up there with Hubbell.

Three more scoreless innings would match the all time record of five consecutive shutouts owned since 1904 by Doc White of the White Sox. Gus Bell, a rookie outfielder, led off the seventh for Pittsburgh. Maglie threw, Bell swung, and there were lifelong Giant fans who actually smiled as the ball arched into the right field seats. GOAT PASTURE GODLING No misgivings bothered the 30,422 witnesses in Chavez Ravine the other night when Don Drysdale fired a three-hitter at the Pirates for his seventh shutout of this season, his sixth in a row, erasing Hub- On top of that, he is a native son, a life-sized model of all that is noble and pure in California manhood, which is the Hidden Ball Gets Javier Cardinals Atone For Astro Trick its dropped the throw home.

Pepitone, who bounced back from a freak injury he suffered a hairline fracture of his loft arm making a throw from center field early last month vna spent two weeks on the disabled list has been the Yanks' best clutch hitter since returning to the line-up May 15. With teammates on base, he has stroked 13 hits in 28 at-bats, for a .464 mark, and drawn 11 walks as well. He hiked his over-all batting average 10 points to .287 with 2-for-4 against the Twins.

His 25 hits have accounted for 19 RBI. "Yogi (Berra) was like that, and Mickey (Mantle) is the same." NEW YORK (AP) Joe Pe-pUone's raven locks haven't started curling around his shoulders yet. But if Pepitone has his way, the hair-dryer in the New York Yankees' clubhouse is due for some long workouts this summer. "I believe in that Samson bit," the fun-loving slugger said Wednesday night after belting a grand slam homer and two-run triple in the Yankees' 7-2 victory over Minnesota. "The longer the hair gets, the better I hit." "Pretty soon it'll be down to here you'll see," he added, describing a spot halfway down his back.

Pepitone, self-proclaimed court jester of struggling New York club, was in top form following his most productive night of the still young season. "I've got this hair dryer," he continued, "and the oiher day one of tiie guys must have put some baby powder in the thing. Y6u should have seen the mess when I turned it on. It was wild." Pepitone, who wears his hair long and his sideburns strong, had good reason to laugh it up His fourth career grand slam, and second off Dean Chance, gave New York a 4-0 first inning jump and his fifth inning triple wrapped up the victory for right-hander Mcl Stottlemyre. "I figure if you want to hit one off somebody, it makes you feci that much better to hit it tff a good one like Chance," said Pepitone, who had connect who failed to win the second base job from Javier in the ear ly 1960s, kept the ball and walked back to second base and first baseman Rusty Staub went in to chat with Dierker.
