CHICAGO, June 19.-Sid Hud-

ris' original April staff of starting
pitchers, will bid for his eighth
Victory tonight when the Mats
attempt to hold fifth place against
the bothersome White Sox.
Hudson. who won only eight
games last season, is, the only
undisturbed figure among the
group Harris selected as his start
ers at the seasons outset. He'll
be trying to give the Mats a 81
edge in the Chicago series at the
expense of Bob Cain, a left
handler who beat the Yankees
twice and was impressive against
the Mats in two relief roles.
Sid currently is the standout
among Washington's pitchers with
his IA record. He's the only one
with more than three victories.
Harris launched the year with
Ray Scarborough, Hudson, Joe
Haynes and Steve Macy as his
starters, with Dick Weik and

jobs in emergencies. Connie Mar

starting role in the first month. 8

Round Robin Victory
Rates Mangrum as
Man TO Beat in PGA
By The Associoted Press

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, June
19.-Wheeling along the road to-
day toward Columbus, Ohio, and
the Professional Golfers Associa-
tion championship is a fellow who
will bear watching-and not be-
cause he's loaded with fresh
money.
Lloyd Mangrum rates as the
man to beat in the PGA event
as he currently is the hottest
thing in golf, with $8,100 in prize
money to show for the last three
weeks of play. The PGA opens
Wednesday.
He picked up $4,000 yesterday
by winning the ninth annual
Palm Beach round-robin tourna-
ment, the sum going into the
kitty along with the $2.500 he
won for finishing second, after
a playoff, in the National Open,
and the $4,000 he pocketed in
winning the Fort Wayne Open
the preceding week.
There was nothing flukey about
Mangrum's triumph. He demon
strated convincingly he was the
best of the field of 16 star pros
in every phase of the four-day,
hve-round event.
He had the highest point total,
81, with Lawson Little a distant
second with 20 points.
His medal score of 344 for the
five rounds was nine strokes bet
ter than that of the second low
man in that department, Claude
Harmon.
He beat the two men with whom
he tied in the Open-Ben Hogan
and George Fazio-by 20 and 81
strokes. respectively. AS they suf-
fered a letdown, Mangrum's game
blossomed. ...
The Palm Beach tournament
schedule provides that each con-
testant play in a foursome with
each other player in one of the
five rounds. Points are computed
by comparing the medal scores
of the foursome members. That
is, a man shooting a 10 would be
plus two over a rival shooting a

ANTI AIRCRAFT
CREWS STATIONED
PRACTICE ALERT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. /
lR-The military has sharpened Al
aska's anti-aircraft defenses.
Anti-aircraft weapons have sprout-
ed in the past week at strategic
points around bases and next to
vital installations. Slit trenches and
gun crew shelters have appeared
at many points.
While the present precautionary
alert" lasts, anti aircraft crews are
prepared to live, eat, and sleep a
moments dash from their gun posi-
tions.
Some military installations have
been ringed with lethal rapid fire
guns.
The guns have been set up as a
second line of defense for Alaska
from any possible enemy attack
with paratroopers or heavy bombers.
The first line of defense still re-
mains the crack squadrons of F-80
shooting star jet planes. They are
fighters and interceptors.
Installation of the new guns are
mounted to defend air base runways
and high priority buildings. Others
are dug in behind sandbags along
the 500-mile Alaska Railroad. which
is vital supply line to Interior bases.
