Eight Go to Post Peakness Today Without Distinct Favote
Today's Game Is Off;
Sid Hudson's Debut
Delayed Til Monday
By Burton Hawkins

Rain and cold forced postpone
ment Of the Mats game with the
Browns today and will delay the
debut of Pitcher Sid Hudson, who
was slated to work the opener Of
q three-game series with the
White Sox tomorrow. Sandy Con-
suegra, due to oppose st. Louis
today, will seek his fourth win
against Chicago tomorrow.
A total loss to the Mats for the
first month of the season, Hudson
probably will be used against the
White Sox Monday night. Finally
recovered from torn muscles in
his back, the big Highlander has
informed Manager Bucky Harris
he's ready for duty.
There is a possibility that
Mickey Vernon, first baseman, will
return to work tomorrow. He has
been idle two weeks with an in
jured left ankle.
Hudson injured his back April
pitching against Louisville in ar
exhibition game and hasn't
thrown competitively since. His
return is calculated to bolster the
Mats, who defeated st. Louis. So
last night.
Wyse's Absence Irks Harris.
Punctured with innumerable
needles since afflicted, Sid severa,
times has neared recovery only tc
be set back by aggravating the
injury in warmup sessions. Re
cent tests have left him with NO
pain, however, and thus the Mats
regain their 14-ganie winner OF
last season.
Speaking Of aggravation. Bucky
is beginning to seethe at the con-
tinued absence Of Pitcher Hank
Wyse, purchased from the Phila-
delphia Athletics Wednesday eve
ming, but still missing. Wyse hasn't
bothered to communicate with
the Mats front Office, although
his equipment has arrived here
Wyse repeatedly has been in
volved in an attempt to sell his
house in Philadelphia. but should
he fail to report today he'll be
subject to fine. Players are re-
quired to report to a new club
within 72 hours.
For the second straight game
the Mats were outhit. but again
won last night as they made the
most of their seven hits to beat
the Browns before gathering Of
asia. Bob Kuzava, slammed fol
II hits, went the route to post hi!
third victory.
Noren Gives Mats Good Start.
Irv Noren shot the Mats into
20 lead in the first inning wheI
he doubled across Eddie Yost ane
Gil Coan, who had walked.
The Mats lead mounted to A.
i'm the third after Kuzava walked
Yost singled and Coan beat ou
a bunt to fill the bases. Kuzavs
scored after Noren flied to center
and Yost came in when Sam Mele
grounded out. ~+a-%
st. Louis picked up a run ir
the fifth when Bob Young beat
out a bunt and came around on
Johnny Berardino's double. but
the Mats lifted their advantage to
I6-1 in the sixth against Lou
Sleater, who took a sixth success
sive beating.
Noren was safe when Right
fielder Ray Coleman dropped his
fly for a two-base error and Mike
Mccormick scored him with q
sharp single to center after Mele
struck out. A walk to Cass Mi
chaels and Gene Verble's inf1elo
single loaded the bases and Nc
Cormick scored on Mike Guerra's
grounder.
The Browns promoted a mile
threat in the ninth. Tommy Up.
