POMPANo BEACH. Fla,
Mar. 20.-The Senators, in an
unprecedented move for q
Washington ball club. are
thinking very seriously Of OPEN
ing the season with q pitching
staff that includes two rookie
pitchers who last year were in
Class D ball. the lowest minor
classification.
It has been ~ years since .
Washington pitcher made the
seldom complished leap from
Glass D to the majors. Sid
Hudson, under the encourage
ment of Bucky Harris, moved
from Sanford, Fla, to the old
Senators in 1910 and won II
and lost 16.
Jim Hannah, the Notre
Dame graduate who struck out
254 at Olean. N. Y, last year,
was the first Of the raw rockies
to command attention. He has
been Joined by Carl Bouldin.
who this time last year was
playing basketball with the
University Of Cincinnati's even
tual NCAA champions.
Must BE Taken Seriously
Bouldin had his second test
in yesterdays 1912 marathon
victory over the White Sox and
again pitched three scoreless In
nings. He loaded the bases with
none out in one inning and then
escaped without q run as the
next two batters tapped back
to him, one for q double play.
"It might be unusual for this
club" Manager Mickey Vernon
said, "but Baltimore has done
it with its kids. When you have
two youngsters who have shown
what Hannah and Bouldin
have shown, they have to be
taken seriously. Right now. I'd
say they will be among the IL
or 13 pitchers wen take North"
"Bouldin has that wonder
full asset Of getting the ball
over" Mickey continued.
That's something you can't
discount"
Bouldin is @ slender, dark
haired youngster whose blond
wife often sits IN the stands
and makes sketches during the
practice sessions.
Pitchers Get Four Hits
In three innings yesterday
he allowed two hits, two walks
and struck out two. In his first
chance last week he retired
nine straight. After loading the
bases on two singles and q walk. |
Bouldin started q double play
when Floyd Robinson tapped
to the mound. He got out of the
inning when Jim Lands fol-
lowed suit. !
Bouldin also surprised by
Slapping out a pair of singles.
In fact, the Washington pitch
ers were 4-for-4 at that time as
Dave Stenhouse also singled his
first two times at bat.
It was q weird game. The
Senators took q $50 lead
against John BuZhardt, ac-
quired- in the Roy Sievers deal
after posting 6-18 record with
the Phillies last year, and Ed
Fisher, who was 9-5 with Ia
coma in the Pacific Coast
League and 0-2 with the
Giants.
Stenhouse impressed in q |
four-inning turn. and with
Bouldin following. the White
Sox were blanked for seven in
nings. But Dave Tyriver, who
with Joe Schaffernoth was OBJ
tained conditionally from
Cleveland, probably worked his !
wat back to the Indians in his |
debut.
Tyrjver ROughed Up
Tyriver was roughed up for
II runs on five hits, five walks
and two hit batsmen in 1h
innings, and when Vernon had
to replace a pitcher for the. first
time this spring. the White Sox
had scored seven runs, had the
DaSeS loa0ed ana q 2-1 count
on Sherm Lollar.
Fred Green completed the
walk to Lollar, and Pinch-hitter
AL Smith Dashed a homer over
the leftfield wall. All Of the
runs except Smiths were
charged to Tyriver.
II hated to take Tyriver out
after he had a 15-run lead,"
Vernon said, "but he was very
nervous when I went to the
mound. Well give him another
chance"
The 27-run, 26-hit affair in
cluded grand-slam home runs
