ST. LOUIS, Dec. Sid
Hudson. 6-foot-4 highlander
who pitched for. the Senators
from 1910 through 1852, may
rejoin Washington as a pitch
ing coach. he admitted today.
Hudson, currently scouting
in Texas for the Boston Red
Sox, could be waiting to learn
if the Senators definitely will
field a team next season, as
President Joe Cronin Of the
American League says they will.
General Manager Ed Doherty
Of the Senators said he has
made an offer. Sid, who has
been scouting for the Red Sox
since he quit pitching for them
in 1865, was a longtime team
mate Of Manager Mickey Ver-
non and George Case, who will
coach at third base.
The trim Hudson, who lives
in Waco, won II games as o
rookie with the Senators in
1910. He had a 20 record
until June 81, when he pitched
a one-hitter here against the
old st. Louis Browns. He was
robbed of a no-hitter when Rip
Radcliff opened the ninth in
ming with a double down the
rightfield line which was fan

The interesting story of the
rise and fall of Bill Rosensohn
as a boxing promoter today
was detailed before a Senate
subcommittee investigating un-
derworld influence on boxing.
The name of frankie Carlo,
reputed underworld boss Of
boxing now serving a two-year
term for violation Of New York
boxing laws, did not enter
Rosensohn's testimony, as it
had yesterday when Truman
Gibson Of the international
Boxing Club testified.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee, heard Rosensohn
give details of how Tony (Fat)
Salerno, an influential under
cover parsonage in boxing, and
Charles Black "muscled him
out" Of boxing promotions after
Rosensohn had put on the first
heavyweight champ o n h p
fight between Ingemar Johans-
son and Floyd Patterson. Black
was identified as a "confidant"
of Gus D'Amato, Patterson's
manager.
BaSiliO To Be Heard
Other witnesses scheduled to
be heard today were Hymie
tthe Mink Wallman, a New
York boxing manager and
furrier, and Carmen Basilio,
former world middleweight
champion.
Basilio, with both eyes swol-
len nearly shut and a scar
across his nose attesting to his
profession. said he had been
subponeaed to testify. He
added, however, I'm glad I
came anyway, because this is
all very interesting"
In yesterdays opening testi-
mon, Gibson told how the IBC
worked both sides of the street
with large payments to Carlo.
through Carbo's wife. and also
to avowed enemies of Carlo.
Gibson also admitted knowl-
edge that Carlo was known TO,
and in some cases exercised in
fluence over. a long list OF
prominent boxing promoters
and boxing managers.

official, Frank Lane of the Gle
veland Indians.
Frick wasn't limiting whether
he'd vote for a National League
amendment to delay invasion
of Los Angeles until 1862 or
permit the American League to
make its move there promptly.
II will not be hustled into a
quick decision" said Frick, who
can't be accused of anything
along that line. II will an
nounce my decision in the joint
meeting Wednesday, and I will
do what I think is best for base
ball"
Nate Dolin, Cleveland vice
president, said of Frick: He's
afraid to make a decision. I'd
like to see him show some CUTS.
How can the man keep voting
against us? We've done every
thing he has asked us to do"
Quesada, hopeful of two nine
club operations which would
permit him to take his pick of
100 pool players, up to a limit
of %, said: I'VE have removed
every obstacle to National
League objection. Maybe the
more sober heads in the Ma
tional League will see the rea-
sonableness of this and be one
tenth as generous as Dan Top
ping and Del Webb"
The latter, also a co-owner
Of the Yankees. supported Top
ping in his offer to let the
National League into New York.
The Topping idea was a huge
concession, for he said the Ma
tional League would be allowed
to come into New York without
the customary indemnity pay
ment for nvading another
teams territory.

While Quesada was hopeful.
he also was being realistic
about the prospects of inter-
league play. II am afraid the
National League will reply
spontaneously. emotionally and
negatively" he said.
In requesting Quesada to stay
out for a year, the National
League said it would be willing
to play Is or 80 games in
Washington. Cronin sarcastic
cally referred to that idea as
very generous.
Cronin said the American
League definitely will not func-
ton as a nine-club league
unless the National League also
operates with nine clubs.
That's impossible" he said.

said. Gen. Quesada has taken

to endure the problems" con-
fronting him in order to field
a team next season.

son, provided the senior circuit
operates with nine clubs-along
with the American League
and plays an interleague
schedule.
If the National League re-
jectS that idea. the whole mess
will be plopped in the lap of
Commissioner Ford Frick. He
must determine if the Amer
ican League will be allowed to
employ an alternate plan-to
invade Los Angeles against
National League opposition
next season.
Insists on Washington
Regardless OF how either
plan fares. President Joe
Cronin Of the American League
has reaffirmed there will be a
team operating in Washington
in 1861. If the National League
doesn't approve the nine-club
suggestion, and if Frick vetoes
the alternate move to wedge
into Los Angeles, it could mean
war.
Pete Quesada, a man of
many war missions, kept Wash
ington's major league status
alive yesterday with a fight
ing speech before the American
League. He spoke after the Ma
tional League had relayed a
suggestion to him that the
whole situation might be solved
If he abandoned the idea OF
playing next season.
Quesada Stands Firm
Quesada, attending his first
American League meeting as
the Senators leader, promptly
made his presence felt. He
fatty rejected the easy way out
for other owners, telling them
Il am afraid of losing the sup.
port Of Washington fans.
II don't expect Washington
fans to let me down, and I GER
tainly am not going to let them
down." Quesada said. II didn't
get the franchise in Washing
ton to liquidate it.
"One Of their obstacles Is
that they have printed theil
tickets" Quesada continued
referring to the National
League suggestion to stall. MY
obstacle is much greater.

II American League fellow
owners were seeking the soft
solution in a Quesada with.

to give the National League ;
