Kuhel Facing Tough Job To Rebuild Nats By LEO H. PETERSEN (United Press Sport* Editor) New York, April 10 - (UP)— Strange thing* have happened to the Waiilitagfon Senator* thia aprinf. • When the player*, reported to manager Joe Kuhel at Orlando. Fla thev were tagged a» a club with good pitching but doubtful hitting Things have been in exact reverse. The Senators have been hammering the ball all over the Lot in exhibition games and their pitchers. with the exception of Sid Hudson and Walt .Masterr.on. have taken a terrific pounding Rut matter* promise to right themselves before the season opens, with the Senator* going to the barrier with pitching, but little else Kuhel, in his first season as a major league pilot, faces a tre-. mendous rebuilding job. He doesn't have mucfi, outside of his piuhlng staff, to work with There are some promising rookie* in camp. Gil Goan and Al Korar In particular, but for the most part they appear to he a year or two away from the major*. Only two spots outside of pitching are set-Mickey Vernon at first base and the catching itaff of Ray Evan* a* the No. 1 man and Jake Early a* hi* understudy The other job* still are wide open It looks, however, like Koxar. ' who hit 339 with New Orleans last year will get the second base job i with Johnny Sullivan at short and Eddie Yost at third. Even with Vernon thrown In at first base, it doesn't measure up to major league standard* in either fielding or hitting. Sullivan, whom Kuhel claim* is a ‘vastly improved player" ( hit only .256 in 49 game* last year while Yost in 115 game* batted mly .233 Only Coan, who look* a* if he finally ha* arrived this spring. I* sure of an outfield berth Kuhel ha* been playing the Chattanooga graduate in right field with Tom Mcßride, the Red Sox castoff in -enter, and Sherry Robertson in left. That leave* the best fielding gardener on the Washington roster —Eart Wooten—on the outside 'ooklng In. Wooten can go and ~et them with anyone in center field, but like Koxar. he isn't expected to take- to major league pitching very well. Knhel brought a doxen rookie nitcher* to camp, but only three of them probably will be retained They are Forrest Thompson, the southpaw drafted from Atlanta where >he won It game* last Melon; Joe Jone*, a slde-aemer from the Florida State league and Ramon Garcia, a Saban right hander Only Hudson and Masterson of last year's holdover* have been effective thia year. The otheraincludiag Early Wynn, a 17-game winner last year—have been getting their ear* pinned back regularly, even by minor league elube But Kuhel is sure they will regain their effectiveness by April It, when the Sewator* open against

Prices Going Up! ', Decatur Man Pays $25 Each For Meals Mike vehemently dAlares prices at* going mV Mike Is Michel Riccardi, local plasterer, and he ha* a receipt to prove that he paid 5150 for six ordinary meals at 125 per meal.
