Civil War Is On Again
In Pacific Coast Loop
BY The Assoeiated Press

LOS ANGELES, May 6.-The Pa
cific Coast Leagues civil war is on
again.
That means, of course, those
crosstown rivals. the Los Angeles
Angels and the Hollywood Stars will
have at each other this week for the
first time II the 1947 season.
The Angels are flying high in first
place, and the Stars are houndering
in seventh. But position isn't. a.
factor when they meet each other.
Last year the Angels eked out a
1913 edge over the Stars, but hn-
ished fourth, a notch back of their
rivals.
This season the Angels have won
five straight series and the Stars
dropped five in a row.

Open Atlanta Tourney
By The Assoe;o,sd Press

ATLANTA, May 6.-The first
round of match play in the Southern
Women's Golf Tournament opened
here today with the fayorite in the
championship flight, Louise Suggs
of Lithia Springs, Ca, paired with
Mrs. r. e. Winger of Fort Worth,
Tex. 55s
On the basis OF yesterdays play,
the result of the Suggs- Winger con-
test was an almost foregone con-
clusion.
Miss Suggs required only 10 strokes
on her walk around the 6,500-yard
course in the qualifying round. She
not only made it IN 2-under- r-par, but
clipped four strokes OH the previous
qualifying record held by the de-
tending champion, Mrs. Estelle Law
son Page of Chapel Hill, N. c., and
Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta. Mrs.
Winger required 81 strokes on the
same hike.
The performance by Miss Suggs
was all the more unusual in view
|of previous publicity in which she
was reported under the care Of O.
physician for sinus trouble.

The record supports Sid's theory.
Against Cleveland. Sid was nicked
for three runs in the first three
innings, during which he walked
four batters. In the next three
innings the Indians didn't get man
to first base off Hudson, who then
was lifted for pinch-hitter, George

Mats Hudson to Shift Tactics,
Sacrificing Speed for Control

Sid was slammed for six hits In the
first four innings and yielded two
bases on balls. In the final Ave
innings the Yankees mustered only
two hits and Sid granted one walk.
Sid's 80 record is a neat contrast
to his best previous year with the
Mats, when he won II games and
lost Is as rookie In 1910. Hudson
currently is the proud possessor OF a
la earned-run average, but seven
years ago he was wondering If he'd
remain in the majors.
II just happened to come along
at the right time with the right
club and manager who had a lot
of faith in me- Sid said.
Until June. 1910, Sid had won
two games and lost nine Both his
victories were unimpressive 12-hit-
ters, but Bucky Harris continued to
start him regularly.
One night in st. Louis, Harris
faith paid off. Sid hurled a 1-hit
game against the Browns and pro-
ceeded to win six straight. He later
pitched another 1-hit game against
Philadelphia. From June ar until
the end Of the season Hudson won
is games and lost I for q woefully
inept seventh-place club.
