MY returns for those years
were prepared by certified public
accountants. They took large de-
ductionS for me that have been

shape and expect to be the first
retired heavyweight champion to

nized successor to Louis although

Surprising Control as
|Kuzava Faces Browns
By Burton Hawkins
Stor Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, July 28.-Battered
by st. Louis in nine of 13 games
this year, the Mats will attempt to
narrow the Browns margin as
much as possible in a four-game
series starting tonight.
Bob Kuzava, who has made st.
Louis his victim in two of five vic
tories this year, will try for his
sixth win. He faces the Browns
just after they have defeated the
runner-up Yankees in two of three
games.
After Kuzava tonight, Manager
Bucky Harris plans to send San
dalio Consuegra against the
Browns tomorrow and will start
Al Sima and Joe Haynes in Sun
days double-header.
Harris has little complaint to
register concerning his pitching
lately. The pitchers have shown
good control and have issued only
one walk in "a innings.
The leader in that respect is Sid
Hudson; who captured his tenth
yesterday when Washington split
in a double-header with the
White Sox at Chicago.
The Mats won the first game,
80. but dropped the second, 6-3.
Hudson'S comeback has been
accompanied by good control. He
hasn't walked a batter in II
innings. and has given only one
base on balls in 19 innings and
three in 81.
Control Is Superb.
Against the White Sox, sid's
control was superb. 1t had to
be to edge Billy Pierce, 23-year-
old lefthander who didn't allow
a hit until Irv Noren doubled
with one out in the seventh.
Hudson faced "a batters ard
only ID of his pitches were of
the beam. He threw three balls
to one hitter-Gus Zernail in the
fourth inning-and that was Chi
cago's closest approach to a walk.
The only walk given up by
Washington pitchers in "a innings
was intentional. Connie Marrero.
sabotaged by Shoddy fielding in
the second game. purposely passed
Dave Philley in the fifth inning.
The Mats were taking a 10
beating until the eighth inning
of the first game. Hudson had
been nicked for a run in the third
when Pierce doubled and Philley
singled.
Pierce Loses Control.
Lack of control finally cost
Pierce the game After Noren
doubled in the seventh he walked
Mickey Vernon and Sam Mele to
fill the bases. but Johnny Ostrow-
ski famed and Sam Dante flied
out.
| Pierce resumed his wild tactics
in the eighth. He walked Al Ev-
ans and Hudson sacrificed Pinch
Runner Gil Coan along. Walks to
Eddie Yost and Cass Michaels
filled the bases and Coan scored
when Noren grounded out to First
Baseman Eddie Robinson.
When Pierce walked Vernon to
reload the bases. Howie Judson re-
placed him. Mele welcomed Jud-
son with a single to left, scoring
Yost and Michaels.
