...interest to the U. S. Roman Catholic hierarchy. To it went scores of priests, monsignori and bishops, among them Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, new Apostolic Delegate to the U.

In May 1929, in his ninth complete major league game, Carl Hubbell pitched a no-hit game against Pittsburgh. Lazy and solemn in action, particularly fond of a "screw-ball" which breaks sharply down and away from batters, Pitcher Hubbell thinks he has improved since then. Says he: "I have learned a lot ... and I feel stronger. It takes quite a while to learn how to pitch big-league baseball...
