his name should go down in history
with other famous pitchers of the
American League.
Three years ago Hudlin was a
Texas high slhoo boy who showed
unusual talent in preparatory school
circles. There are lot Of young
stcrs who shine as pitchers in high
school baseball throughout the ccun-
try who never make the long jump
to the majors.
Joins Waco Club
Last season Hudlin's success was
such that he attracted the attention
of the Waco club Of the Texas
League. He Joined that club in
June and it wasn't long before the
big league scouts touring that Sec
ton began to give him the once
over.
With team that finished last,
with mark considerably under 500,
Hudlin showed his remarkable ability
by winning 16 while losing ii games
II the dope that I got on Hudlin
is correct, two clubs other than
Cleveland were in the field for his
services and had prior claims 1t
seems the element of luck figured in
Cleveland acquiring title to the SEN
Sational recruit
Detroit Had First Claim
Detroit, as l understand it, had
first claim on Hudlin. The report
of the Detroit scout was that Hud-
lin was unqucstionably big league
prospect but that it wasn't good bust
ness to pay $25 5000 for merely a high
school boy. playing his first year Of
professional baseball.
On form that sounded like good
dope and while Detroit made an offer
for HIM Waco would listen to moth
ing but $4,000.
The New York Yankees had sec
ond claim. Like Detroit, the Yam
r kee management figured $4,000 a
lot OF money for an untried recruit,
doing his first year in organized
baseball
It seems that the New York option
expired at noon on a certain day last
summer. A few hours prior, the
Yankees had bid as high as $4,000.
a Cleveland scout, impressed with
Hudlin and realizing his club needed
immediate pitching strength, if it
was to have chance to win the pen
nant, advised taking gamble on
him.
Cleveland Gets Him
A few minutes after the New York
option had expireds the Cleveland
scout agreed to the terms of the
Waco club and Cleveland secured a
pitcher who promises to be worth
many times the amount paid for him.
Hudlin is a husky right-handcr
with great fast ball. His curve is
improving constantly and he is
learning change of pace. When he
acquires the art of throwing his
change of pace with the same motion
as his fast ball, he will be all the
tougher to beat.
HudIin has courage and poisc. His
control for a rookie is remarkable
and he bears down hardest in the
pinch. Baseball offers a great flu
ture for Hudlin.

HUDLIN CERTAIN TO BE
GREAT. SPEAKER SAYS

willis Hudlin is one Of the
greatest pitching prospects to
break into the American League
since Cleveland picked George
Uhle up off the sandlots,' says
Iris Speaker, former manager of
the Indians.
"Hudlin has remarkable natur-
al ability, coolies Of courage and
more pitching poise than | ever
saw rookie show in all my
career rs big Lacquer.
"The first time hit against
Hudlin in batting practice, I
realized Cleveland had picked u
jewel. He had me. as we'll as all
the other regulars on the club,
waving a bat at his fast ball.
"If Hudlin fails to become one
of the greatest of pitchers,
will miss my guess by wide
margin. He is very, very good
pitcher right now. Inside of
year. two at the most. he should
be one Of the outstanding stars
of the majors"

The Cleveland Indians were fooled
recently when they offered Wilkes
Barre $4,000 for Catcher Dick Stahl-
man and his battery mate, Bradshaw.
Stahlman is the player wanted be-
cause his hitting has been the big
noise in the New York Penn League
this season. His consistent hitting
has drawn more than six big league
scouts to Wilkes Barre, but the own
ers are holding out for more money
for their smuggling catcher.
