Defeat by Yank,
Is Blow 10 Sid,
NOT 10 KuheI
Manager Sees Many
Wins for Pitcher if
He Holds Same Pace
By Burton Howkins
Sior Stoff Correspondent

I
| NEW YORK. April 20.-Sid
Hudson was wearing his chin in
the vicinity Of his shoelaces today
as the result of dropping a 80 de-
cision to the Yankees here yester-
day. Manager Joe Kuhel wasn't
CHEEKY about the defeat. naturally
but through the gloom he visioned
"a sparkling season for his tall
right handed pitcher.
"All Sid has to do is to pitch
that we'll for the remainder of the
year and he'll win many games, "
said Kuhel. I'm fact, he'll win
I 9 out of 10 like he pitched yes
terday, even though he was wilder
than he has been. He's going to
be tough to beat"
New York was having a rough
time whipping Sid as late as the
ninth inning with two out. but
into a 2-2 tie situation stepped
Tommy Heinrich and pumped a
home run into the rightfield
bleacherS which elevated the
Yankees to victory.
Hudson Yields Seven Passes.
Hudson. who permitted nine
hits, struck out five and was an
impressive performer despite al
lowing seven walks. He con-
stantly was in trouble due to
those bases on balls, but he kept
the Mats in the game with brilliant
clutch hurting.
The Mats insist that Umpire
Eddie Rommel cost Hudson the
game in the seventh inning. Sid
had walked Phil Rizzuto with ore
out and Gene Woodling worked
him to a 80 count. Hudson S
next pitch, according to Catcher
AL Evans and Sid. split the heart
Of the plate waist-high. but
Rommel saw otherwise. Heinrich
went out on a fly to center, but
Yogi Berra batted for Hank Bauer
and drove a single to center which
scored Rizzuto with the tying run
Hudson and Evans squawked
simultaneously on Rommel's de-
cision. Sid Tipping his glove in the
air and Evans unleashing livid
Language at the umpire. but such
behavior didn't induce Rommel
to alter his opinion. which was
under considerable fire by both
clubs all afternoon.
Eddie Robinson Hits Homer.
A crowd of 4o,075 saw the YAM
KEGS grasp 10 lead In the third
| inning on singles by Rizutto and
Woodling. plus Bauer's outfield
fly which scored Rizzuto from
third. The Mats locked the score
in the fifth, when Hudson singled
across Evans, who had doubled.
Washington's first home run,
propelled by Eddie Robinson into
the lower right-f1eld stands,
boosted the Mats into 2-1 COM
mand in the sixth. but thereafter
the Mats accumulated only one
hit off Ed Lopat.
Paul Calvert, the thin right
handler whose sinker ball has cap
tivated Kuhel, was to take the
mound for the Mats here today,
with Forrest Thompson slated to
face the Yanks tomorrow. Vic
Raschi was to be New York's
starting pitcher today.

Bears and Packers
Among Redskins
Six Home Foes

Two old Western Division rivals,
the Chicago Bears and Green Bay
Packers, are among the six Ma
tional Football League rivals the
Redskins will meet at Griffith
Stadium next season, club officials
announced today.
It will be one of the shortest
pro seasons since the Tribe pitched
its wigwam on the banks of the
Potomac, opening october 9, when
Steve Owen brings the New York
Giants to town, and closing De-
cember against the Packers.
Worse than that" commented
General Manager Dick McCann,
well have played an average col
lege schedule before we open at
home. We have seven games
scheduled before we play in Wash
ington. including two league
games"
The Redskins are not permitted
to release their road schedule until
all home schedules have been an
nounced by rival clubs, but the
12-game program makes 1t neces-
sary for them to make two addi-
tional forays into Western ter
ritory.
McCann said he presumed Ad-
miral John Whelchel. who will
take over the coaching reins from
Turk Edwards this year, had seen
the list, but had no comment from
him. Needless to say the admiral
can call it tough and be on per-
fectly safe ground. From August
26, when it meets the Los Angeles
Rams in a preseason test at Los
Angeles, the Tribe will bump heads
with topnotch opposition at least
once a week until the curtain
comes down.
With % men. mostly rockies,
under contract. more than 10000
season tickets sold. and prepara-
tions completed for the start Of
training on August 2 at Occi-
dental College, California, the
Redskins apparently are waiting
only for the new baseball season
to acquire a little age before kick
t ing off 1949 football plans.
