Long Loss Of Pitcher
Is Feared by KuheI;;
Yanks Here Tonight
By Burton Howkins

| The Mats had their fingers crossed
against being informed of a stag
gering jolt today as they awaited
revelations of an X-ray of Pitcher
Early Wynn's ankle. Wynn's 194S
future hinged on the outcome of the
X-ray with preliminary diagnosis
indicating possible fracture
Washington's most active pitcher,
Wynn absorbed a ninth defeat last
night at Boston as the Red Sox
snatched a Al victory before 26, ,996
customers. More distressing to
Manager Joe Kuhel, though, was
the possibility of losing Wynn for a
prolonged period.
While Wynn has lost more games
than any other Washington pitcher,
he also has won more. He has won
only one game in q month, but
plucking starting pitcher from
the Mats staff is calculated to Grip
pie them. Wynn has won seven
games, including three 5-hitters, a
4-hitter and 3-hitter.
Wynn was forced to retire in the
second inning last night when a
liner off Birdie Tebbett's bat struck
him on the right ankle. He re-
turned here with the Mats today and
was x-rayed shortly after arrival.
Thompson Good in Relief.
The Mats will launch a three
game series with the New York
Yankees tonight at Griffith Stadium
with Sid Hudson, Mickey Haefner
and Walter Masterson slated to
pitch in the weekend tiffs All re-
manned in Washington while the
Mats journeyed to Boston to split a
two-game series.
While Wynn's injury threatened
to handicap the Mats, there was
sunny side to the defeat in the ef-
fective pitching of Forrest Thomp-
son, the 30-year-old rookie who was
drafted from Atlanta. Thompson
was nicked for two tainted runs and
allowed only three hits in seven
innings after replacing Wynn.
Thompson's performance was
no flash in the pan. In his last
five games, over span of l42s in
nings, he has permitted only seven
hits and three runs.
Both runs off Thompson last
night could have been averted. The
Red Sox clipped him for run in
the fourth inning when Vernon
Stephens scored from third as Sec
ond Baseman AL Kozar threw wide
to Catcher AL Evans after fielding
Bill Goodman's grounder.
Slow Fielding Aids .Bosox.
In the eighth inning, Thompson
was the victim of slow thinking by
Center Fielder Garden Gillenwater
and fast running by Ted Williams.
Williams looped routine hit to
center field, but when GillenWater
displayed no haste in retrieving the
ball Ted legged his hit into a double
with a rare display of ambition
Stan Spence's sacrifice and Bobby
Doerr's long fly brought Williams
around.
The Red Sox previously had socked
Wynn for two runs. Dom Di Mag
gio's single, Williams double and
Spence's fly fetched Boston a run
in the first inning and singles by
Doerr. Goodman and Tebbetts netted
another run in the second.
Washington got it's only run off
Mel Parneli in the first inning when
Gil Coan walked, stole second ana
scored on Tom McBride's single to
center After the third inning. the
Mats didn't get runner to second
base.
Catcher Gus Niarhos of the
Yankees will be honored in pre-
game ceremonies tonight when the

ton, will present him an automobile.

today at the London games ano
proclaimed, even before his team
had been selected:
we are sure Of seven or eight
first places, maybe more. l can't
understand how anyone can think
we can lose the Olympic games"
Then the tanned, acid-voiced
man who comes from the University
of Southern California ran down the
events:
start with Gil Dodds. His loss
Is a terrific blow to the team He is
a great runner. l had counted on
him.
(Dodds pulled tendon in a race
last week and has withdrawn from
the Olympic tryouts)
1T is a tragedy that he is injured
and can't complete in the tryouts.
But aside from him, the prospect is
rosy.
In the Sprints I won't even list
my boy, Mel Patton, for first. That S
modesty. He's really the greatest
there is. There is nothing the mat
ter with his legs. There never has
been.
High Hurdles Appear Safe.
Nov in the high hurdles, we could
take the first seven places if they let
us send that many men over there.
And. in the 400-meter hurdles We
have Roy Cochran. 1t would take an
awfully big man to beat him in the
stretch. He always has something
in reserve.
I'm awfully encouraged in the

with someone just as good as John
Woodruff, who won at Berlin.

She first learned of her husbands death at that time. She promptly left Chicago to return to Alaska for her husbands funeral. She will fly from Seattle.
 The husband, John Albert flag berg, was a miner and worked at Haycock. Mrs. Hagberg, daughter of an Aleskan pioneer and an Es- kimo woman, recently has worked as a waitress in the Territory. She won a popularity contest, one of the rewards of which was her present trip Outside"

Congress Will
 Scrap Most Of Truman Proposals

WASHINGTON, Most of Pres ident Truman's major l948 legis- lative proposals, particularly his tax reduction and anti-inflation plans, appeared headed yesterday for a Congressional wastebasket.
 But several, including rent con- trol extension, foreign aid, broad ened social security coverage, higher minimum wages and civil rights guarantees, seemed likely to pass in compromise form.
 Still others, such as national health insurance and compulsory military training were Jumped in the highly doubtful category.
 But leaders of both the Repub- iican majority and the Democrat ic minority left little doubt that they look for the Presidents tax and anti-inflation plans to be re- jected after prolonged wrangling likely to lay the foundation for this years Presidential and Con- gressional elections.
 Party leaders privately predict ed this outcome for statehood for Alaska and Hawaii - Perhaps Hawaii, but not Alaska at this time," said a top Republican.
