New York, Aug. 11-Clark Grif- fith's investment in pitchers of ten- der years has already paid him handsome dividends = Sid Hudson, as though the "Old Fox" of the for example = and today 1t looks Washington Senators has found another bargain in young Walter Masterson.
 Hudson was plucked out of a Class D league at the age of 21. In the ensuing two years he won 30 games flaming 204 batters. This season he has won eight and lost only 10. :.
 Masterson, brought up from Charlotte in the Piedmont League in 1889 at the age of 19, was no par ticular source of joy to the Senators through 1941, winning only nine games against IS defeats. But today his performances are helping to spark the Senators winning spurt.
 Won Two
 The six-foot righthander fash- toned his fourth shutout of the sea- son last night as the Senators blanked the Red Sox, 10, in the nightcap of their twilight double header before 1000 fans at Wash ington. The Mats won the opener behind Hudson, 9-3, the double killing stretching their winning streak to four in a row and their current record to nine victories in Il starts.
 Masterson has now marked up whitewashings against the Indians, Athletics, Tigers and Red Sox, his other victory coming by one run over the Browns. He struck out three, walked three and left six Red Sox runners stranded. The Senators put over the games lone run in the first innisg when Stan Spence sin- gled and raced home on Bruce Campbell's double.
 Hudson kept nine Boston hits well scattered in the first game to earn his eighth triumph.
 No Harm Done
 The Yankees split with the Ath- letics. Tiny Bonham racked up his 18th victory and provided the Tanks with an even break in the night cap, 3-2, after Philadelphia had won the opener, Al. Red Rolfe's sixth homer scored the first Yanke run in the nightcap and Phil Rizzuto's single drove in the second marker in the fourth.
 Then Rizzuto scored what proved to be the game-winner when he forced Bill Dickey, advanced on a sacrifice and tallied on Buddy Has sett's single.
 Red Ruflng blanked the As for six innings of the opener, but was rapped for four runs in the seventh Buddy Blair's triple with the bases loaded and two out was the deciding blow. Dick Fowler held the Tanks hitless for the first six innings.
 The Chicago White Sox won theil ninth in a row by defeating the h. dians last night, 3-1. The Sox col lected only five hits of Chubby Dean but scored single runs in each of three innings, while Johnny Humphries kept II blows scattered enough to win his eighth victory.
 The Dodgers restored their Ma tional League lead to nine games by blanking the Phils, SO, as the Cards lost at Pittsburgh. Kirby Higbe halted the Phils with four hits for his 11th victory while the Dodgers peppered trio of pitchers. Joe Medwick knocked in run eff Frank Hoerst in the first aud Pee Wee Reese hit his third homer in the third. Mickey Owens double led to two more in the fifth and Dolph Camilli's two-ply blow chased !n an- other pair in the eighth.
 Mort Cooper was knocked from the mound for the second time in three days as Bob Elliott Cripled in the fifth with the bases loaded to lead the Pirates to a GA triumph over the Cards. Elliott drove in four of the Pirates runs. Johnny Bar rett's triple and Elliott's out gave the Bucs their first run in the 4th but the Cards rallied for two in the fifth.
