Hudson to Try His New Submarine Pitch Against As Tonight
Break Training Order Preceded
Giants Great Winning Streak

ing" every club they've faced
since then. Only a 6-3 loss to the
Cardinals in New York July 30
prevented them from racking UP
II consecutive triumphs.
For one inning it looked like the
Giants might drop another last
night. They spotted the Braves
a 81 lead in the first but roared
back with q 14-hit attack to win,
9-3. 1t was their seventh straight
win.
The triumph boosted the high
flying giants to within 21a games
of the fourth-place Cards. who
were buried under a 90 score by
the pace-setting Phillies. They
were the only games played In the
majors yesterday.
The results left the National
League pennant picture looking
like this: The Phils lead the field
by four full games. The Braves
are in second place, half-game
in front Of the Dodgers. The Cards
are 512 games out. The Giants, a
new contender, trail by eight
games. However, they've lost only
five games more than the Phils.
They've played six fewer.
Monte Kennedy started for the
Giants, but it was Jack Kramer
who picked up the victory. The
veteran righthander did splendid
relief job, holding the Braves
scoreless after relieving Kennedy
in the first. 1t was only the Giants
third triumph in 13 meetings with
the Braves.
Cards Castoff Beats Them.
Henry Thompson, Eddie Stanky
and Yves Westrum led the attack
against Vern Bickford. Thompson
cracked four hits and batted in
two runs. Stanky got two hits.
drew three walks, scored three
times and stole a base. Westrum
poled two-run homer.
Ken Johnson, Cardinals dis
card, hung the shut out over his
former mates. Making his first
start since July 4, the lefthander
throttled the Redbirds with two
hits. He walked six and famed
the same number. It was the
fourth victory for the fast but
erratic Kansan. He hasn't been
beaten yet.
Mike Goliat and Willie Jones
were the big guns in the Phillies'
11-hit attack off Harry Brecheen
and three relievers. Goliat
slammed a single, double and
triple and drove in four runs.
Jones crashed his 23d home run
with a man on base.
Stan Musial, who lost his bat
ting lead to Brooklyn'S Jackie Rob-
inson by a fraction of a percent
age point, got the only solid st.
Louis hit. 1t was single to right
in the first inning. The other was
a slow roller down the third-base

Ike Williams, Beaten by Solos,
Due to Fight Him Again Here

Salas was orphaned at the age
Of Z and lived with neighbors-
under the eye of the Government
until he was II. At that point
he was taken in by his sister, all
of 16 years Of age.
Salas, who weighed 146 to 1391a
for Williams, had his first fight"
against a heavyweight. It seems
this heavyweight, now in the
trucking business, had hurt two
sparring partners and Salas, a
bystander, agreed to put on the
gloves with him, provided you
take it easy with me-"
Well, Salas hasn't been taking
it easy since. He has had more
than 200 fights, has never been
knocked out and doesn't carry the
usual eye-tissue scars. banged up
cheeks. and crushed in nose
usually associated with the profess
sional pugilist.
Had Formula for Ike.
Salas had a formula for Will
liams last night. The underdog
from Arizona would jab and hook
and grab, bottling up Williams
in the clinches. He raised welt
over the champs eye in the early
rounds and when Williams wanted
to make a fight Of it, Salas was
ready with a potent right hook
that staggered Ike on two occa-
SionS.
This reporter gave williams
only the ninth round. The third
round was even and all the rest
went to Salas. *tz
Jimmy Cooper, Washington
lightweight, knocked out Art LA
nos in 2 minutes IL seconds of the
second round of a scheduled eight

Two other prelims failed to go
the distance. Coley Wallace, 1877,
New York, stopped Jimmy Bell,
204, Washington, in 40 seconds of
the first round. Connie wilkins,
1856. Washington, stopped Clar-
ence Hinnant. $50, Washington. at
2:12 of the fourth. Eddie Gil
christ, 1231a, Washington, won a
four-rounder over Alex Fibres,
1872, Phoenix, and Ben Harrison,
200, Washington, defeated Scotty
Twymon, 1856, Washington, also
four ur-rounder.

Mark the date-July 20, 1850.
It may go down in baseball his
tory as the day the Giants began
the amazing uphill climb that
brought them a National League
pennant.
A fantastic pipe dream? Maybe.
But stranger things have hap
pened. Remember the Braves Of
1914. They dug themselves out
of a deeper rut to win the flag
and the World Series.
Win or lose, the Giants SenSa-
tional run Of 16 victories in II
games is one Of the high spots
Of the season. How and why the
streak got under way is one of
the top sports stories of the year.
Leo Had an Idea.
It developed from a brainchild
of Manager Leo Durocher, with
Larry MacPhail getting a long
range assist.
On July 10. the Giants had alb
sorbed a couple of unmerciful
drubbings at the hands of the
Cardinals. After taking an 1884,
humping in the afternoon, they
came back to suffer a 1913 loss al
night to sink deeper into sixth
place. That made 1t 13 defeats
in IA games.
The groggy Giants dragged
their feet into the clubhouse full,
prepared for a typical Durochel
tongue-lashing. It never came

Harris Cites Success
OF Mays and Ehmke
In Suggesting Move
By Burton Hawkins
Star Staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 8.-Sic
Hudson, who faces the Athletici
tonight in the opener Of a two
game series, already has won NOR
games than he captured last year
but Manager Bucky Harris of tht
Mats isn't satisfied. Bucky grad.
ually is equipping Sid with a new
pitch and Hudson plans to present
1t for the first time tonight.
Against the AS, Sid for the
first time will become a part-timt
submarine ball" pitcher. He's
still experimenting and doesn't
intend to employ the pitch ex-
tensively. but both Bucky and Sic
are looking to next season.
"Sid is 80 now-he'll be 33 be-
fore we start spring training next
year-but I think next season he'll
be a better pitcher than ever,
Harris said. HE can't develop q
submarine ball overnight, maybe
not even in a few weeks, but fol
the remainder of the season he'll
be using it and he may have il
mastered by early next year."
Cites Mays and Ehmke.
Hudson long has sought another
pitch to blend into his repertoire
Bucky noticed him testing a sinker
ball in practice and suggested Sid
try summarizing instead.
There isn't a pitcher in the
majors who even tries it now"
Bucky declared. when I was
playing there were several, and
know that Carl Mays and Howard
Ehmke were hard to hit. Ad
Liska, with Washington, was an
other good submariner.
1T will be tough for Sid to feel
comfortable with the pitch for
a while. He's a big man and it
may seem awkward to him, but
he has shown progress in practice
and now he's ready to use the
pitch occasionally in games.
"He may be wild with it for
some time, so I don't want him to
use it unless he's ahead of the
hitter-two strikes and no balls
or a similar situation. He doesn't t
figure to be an immediate senSa-
ton with the pitch, but when he
reaches the point where he can
use it with confidence he's going
to be a vastly improved pitcher. 3"
Switched Once Before.
Hudson started his career as an
overland pitcher, later switched
to sidearm hurting due to bone
spur on his shoulder. He has gone
along with Harris suggestion to
go underhand, but admits it will
take more work before he'll use
the pitch regularly.
Harris already is beginning to
plan for next season when the nu-
cleus of his pitching staff will be
Hudson, Bob Kuzava and Gene
Bearden. He'd like to acquire
other pitchers, two outfielders and
a catcher for 1851. .-.-.
Meanwhile, Bucky is hoping the
Mats can sweep two games in
Philadelphia, as the AS have lost
six Of their last eight contests.
After we get through with Phila-
delphia here we'll be battling Bos-
ton, New York and Cleveland for
Is games," Harris said. ''The road
won't get smoother for some time"
Lou Brissie is expected to start
for the Athletics tonight.

Furgo|, Ahead in Tam
Bids for First Major
Golf Title in 6 Years
BY The Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. ed Furgol,
lame armed golf pro, today was
on the track of his first major
title in six years of matching shots
on the tournament circuit.
He led the field by two strokes
with 211-f1ve under par-into the
final round of the $4,000 ALL
American tournament at Tam
O'Shanter.
First prize is $2,5O0-a jackpot
which would boost 1850 earnings
for the game golfer from Royal
Oak, Mich, nearly twofold if he
wins.
Five others far down the finan-
cial list also are contending in the
poor mans showdown"
At 213 are Skip Alexander, the
Knoxville better who has spent a
year nursing his back to health,
and Dave Douglas, the human one
iron from Newark. Del.
Fred Hawkins Has 214.
At 214 is young Fred Hawkins
from El Paso, Tex. Included in
the 215 bracket is Skee Riegel of
Tulsa, who turned pro last winter
and is still seeking his first victory.
Also at 215 are two high-ranking
golfers who are capable Of mighty
drives-Bobby Locke and
Lloyd Mangrum. Only one stroke
behind them is Sam Snead, the
top money winner who has bagged
most of his purses with sensational
finishes.
Mangrum, the defending ALL
champion. sped into
yesterday with 68
while Furgol, Alexander and Locke
posted COS. In all, 13 pros broke
70 in the field of 76 after the
greens had been watered and the
pins placed in more orthodox
spots.
Furgol is the sentimental ia
vorite. He has overcome a handi-
cap that would have forced a lot
of fellows to play croquet instead
Of undertaking a golf career
against the Nations best.
I'm just a 33-year-old guy with
a lot Of mileage and a crooked
arm," says the personable gent
who has averaged 71.41 strokes
through 78 competitive rounds
this season.
$4,000 His Biggest PayOff.
He has had to groove a swing
with tremendous body action to
compensate for his shriveled left
arm, the result of a fall from a
playground climbing bar when
he was II.
Furgol won the All-American
title at Tam o'Shanter in
1914 and soon afterward turned
pro. He finished third in the 1947
All-American pro and collected
$4,000. his biggest single money
triumph.
But since he started playing for
pay he never has won outright any
regulation professional golf as
tourney, although tying
twice for minor titles on the cir
cult.
Furgol is one of the few pros
who plays with clubs of his own
design. He markets them through
a big mail order house for around
$50 per set, nearly half of the re-
tail price Of more famous brands.
While the pros enter their finale
today, British Amateur Champion
Frank Stranahan of Toledo and
Wilford Wehrle of Ormond, Fla,
meet in an 18-hole playof for the
Amateur crown
rallied for closing SO
yesterday to total 291-a figure
by Wehrle with final
par 72.
