By Burton Hawkins
S.ar Siaff Correspondent


After looking at his rookie pros
poets for two days, Manager
Bucky Harris turned the Mats
pitching chores over to more ex-
|perienced hands today when he
sent Sid Hudson, Bob Kuzava and
Gene Bearden against the Tigers.
Scheduled to work for Detroit are
Ted Gray, Freddie Hutchinson and
Marlin Stuart.
"I'm really anxious myself to
see Hudson get into action against
outstanding hitters," Harris said.
II have an idea hes going to be a
hot article. particularly against
right-hand hitters, with that
underhand delivery of his.
'Sid isn't controlling his pitches

land that's one of the reasons
I'm eager to give him work. He
might not look too good in our
early games, experimenting as he
is, but I believe that by the time
the season opens he'll be tougher
than ever"
Sima Looks Good.
Harris also is hopeful of i'm
provement in Kuzava and Bear
den. Bucky is persuading Bearden
to rely more on his fast ball and
to use his knuckler only occa-
sionally. Kuzava last season was
tipping off his curve ball with a
facial expression, and >Bucky
wants to rid him of that habit
in exhibition games.
In two weekend games with the
Athletics. Harris got encourage
ment chiefly from the polished
pitching of AL Sima, the bespec-
tacled left-hander who was with
the Mats briefly last season. Sima
held the AS to two singles-one
of them tainted-in a three-in-
ming job yesterday as the Mats
lost 80 decision.
Sima's control was particularly
pleasing to Harris. AL walked
only one and struck out three.
The only legitimate hit off him
was Billy Hitchcock's second-in-
ming single. Joe Astroth also got
credit for a single in the third
when his easy grounder took a
freak hop over Mickey Vernon's
head.
Harris predicted earlier that
Sima would be a vastly improved
pitcher this year. and yesterdays
performance indicated Bucky's
crystal ball isn't logged.
"He was troubled with appendi-
citis for two years." Harris said,
"and I think as the result of hav-
ing his appendix out he's health
Ter. stronger and will be a better
pitcher"
Three Hits for Old Mike.
Bucky is crossing his fingers,
too, at the early batting form dis
played by veteran Mike McCor-
mick, a .232 hitter with the White
SoX last season. Mike got three
of the Mats nine hits yesterday
with two singles and a double.
The Mats nicked Carl Scheib
for run in the first inning when
Vernon singled with two out, stole
second and scored on Irv Noren's
double. Washington pried another
run from Bobby Shantz in the
fifth when Ferris Fain's wild
throw enabled Eddie Yost to score
from third.
That 20 lead stood up until
the eighth inning when the AS
capitalized on Ed Brooklyn's wild
ness. Brooklyn, a left-hander
who pitched for Orlando last sea-
son, walked two and Joe Upton
brought them around with a dou-
BILE. Hank Wyse singled across
Upton with what developed to be
the winning run.
Dean Currier, a little right
handler who also toiled for Orlando
last year, held the AS scoreless on
two hits for three innings. Hank
