Mats Hudson Highly Confident
OfGood Year With Arm 0. K.

Slowly. though, I regained my
confidence. kept pumping over

pain.
After last season I had my arm
X-rayed and it has returned to
perfect condition. There's nothing
wrong now. but for the f1rst time
in years 1 know there's nothing
wrong. There's quite q mental
strain when you feel your arm
might snap with every pitch. Now

should have my biggest year."
Sid's biggest year would be the
equivalent Of the Mats striking
gold, for as a freshman up from
the Glass D Florida State League
in 1910 Hudson won II games. He
lost 9 of his first II starts that
season, but bounced back to grab
Is of the next % decisions. includ-
ing a brace of one-hitters.
Hudson's career with the Mats
has been downgrade. After win
ming those II games as a rookie
he since has won 13, 10, 8, s and 4
games in successive seasons.
Wary Of Good Start.
The 31-year -old towering blond
right-hander, who represents a
mere $500 investment for the
Mats, will be wary of q splendid
start. In his worst years with
Washington he has opened the
season spectacularly. In his best
year, 1910. his only victories in
his first II starts were q pair of
inglorious 12-hitters.
In 1947 Sid won his first three
games. In his fourth start he
pulled muscles in his side, later
tore adhesions in his shoulder,
submitted to saline solution shots,
but was forced to quit for the sea-
son on August 81. with an unim-
pressive SO record.
Last year it was equally dis
heartening. Sid stopped the New
York Yankees, 81, on six hits on
the second day of the season. but
he won only three games there
after.
Sid will have a horde of we'll
wishers in his comeback attempt.
He has taken his wallopings with
out whimpering and is one Of
baseballs more popular figures.
Hudson is a fellow who loves to
win and he's figuring on a real
romance this year.

who almost beat them was lying
in pain beside his bench, twisting
from the anguish of . muscle
