Printed text on card verso: DIAMOND STARS, No. 39/ Good left handed pitchers, like Carl/ Hubbell of the Giants, are becoming/ more and more scarce. It is said, in the/ major leagues, that of two pitchers of/ equal pitching calibre, a left and a right,/ the portsider has greater effect because/ his curves and line of pitching flight come/ from an awkward angle to the batter./ Some major league batters learn to switch/ from one side of the plate to the other,/ to be on the opposite side from the/ pitcher's throwing arm and thus get ad-/vantage of the wider angle of the ball's/ approach./ Arthur Lake. Boston American./ CARL O. HUBBELL. Born Carthage, Mo.,/ 32 years old; bats both ways, throws left; 6 ft./ tall, 170 pounds. Won 21, lost 12 in 1934;/ won 2, lost none in 1933./ One of 240 major league players with playing tips/ copyright 1935 National Chicle Co. Cambridge, Mass, U.S.A.
