Evening star., 1954-01-07
By Burton Hawkins

The first violent reaction TO
contracts mailed out by the Sem
ators several days ago is an an
nouncement by Pitcher Walter
Masterson that he will retire to
devote full time to his job as a
sales representative for Free
port, Me-. shoe firm.
MasterSon, whose 1854 contract
called for a Slight cut. told the
Associated Press in South Port
land. Me-, that he has written
Clark Griffith. president of the
Senators. that he is quitting after
13 years in the major leagues.
Griffith hadn't received the let
ter today.
Masterson revealed his inten-
ton of retiring last September.
but later declared he had
changed his mind and would
pitch next season. Apparently the
contract he received from the
club made up his mind. He was
en- route to Boston on a business
trip today and could not be
reached.
1912 Record Last Season.
A native of Philadelphia. the
33-year-old bespectacled right
handler won 10 games and lost IL
for the Senators last season
after compiling a 1919 record
with them in 1852. He pitched
only for Washington and the
Red Sox in his major league
career, winning II games and
losing 80.
Although Masterson had a
losing season last year, his 3.63
earned run average ranked him
14th in the American League.
MasterSon's career was inter-
rupted by three years in the Navy
and he never quite fulfilled the
promise he displayed when the
Senators signed him from Phila-
delphia's semipro ranks in 1889.
He had a spotty career. He
pitched "a consecutive shutout
innings with Washington in 1947.
In that chain were Is innings

star from Cincinnati, crushed
Australia's Ken Rosewall in
straight sets today, 6-3, 6-3.
60, to enter the final of the
South Australian tennis cham
pionships.
Trabert's victory set the stage
for another struggle between
him and Lewis Hoad, 19-year-
old Aussie star. Hoad outlasted
Trabert in a bristling five-set
key match in the recent Davis
Cup challenge round.
Hoad put on a great rally to
defeat the defending champion.
Rex Hartwig. 4-6, As, rs,
81. 60, in the other semi
final today. He and Trabert
play for the championship on
Saturday.
Hoad took a Al lead over
Hartwig in the first set then
slumped and lost the first two
sets. In the third set Hoad
again held 40 lead only to
see Hartwig rally and tie at
SIS. At this point Hoad held
service, then broke Hartwig to
take the set. After that Hoad
always had control.
Trabert's victory was his Sec
ond in a row over the 19-year-
old Rosewall. He beat the slight
youngster in straight sets in the
Davis Cup challenge round.
Trabert's service was devas-
tating and he broke Ken's deliv-
cry almost at will, taking it
seven times. Tony hammered
at Rosewall's forehand for many
| winners and frequently passed
the Aussie with we'll directed
