Elmer Riddle Limits Cubs To Two Hits i » New York. April 23 (VP) To Elmer Riddle, who matched up his dead arm with dead gameness, went the accolade of courage today in the Infant major league season. Surgeons once told him he had , no chance to do any more pitching. . but because he wouldn't believe . them he was the author of the best game pitched thus far in the NaI tional league, a two-hit. 3 to 0 shutdut for the rejuvenated Pirates over the Cuba. Not bad for a fellow who had won only four games tn four years. Riddle, hero of Cincinnati's pennant campaigns of 1939 and 1941. came up with the lame arm after the 1943 season and from 21 wins that year he slumped to two in 1944 It was worse in 1945 when he had only one victory and he re tired from baseball in 1946 He I came hack last year but was i jdagued by the same trouble and won only one game. The Reds finally gave up hut Riddle didn't and after selling himself to the Pirates new manager. Bill Meyer, It began to look today as If he would be once again living up to 1 his name among National league . batters. Th« only blows he gave up were I singles by rookies Hank Sc-henz and Roy Smalley and he was in , trouble only In the fourth when he walked three men but bore down to retire the side Rjlph Kiner hit his first homer soy the Pirates . thia year and Danny Mnrtaugh drove In the other runs with singles. Another sore-arm hurler made an encouraging comeback at New York whei* Dodger sophomore Harry Taylor thoroughly tested his arm in a 6 to 3 victory over the Giants He walked nine but bore down magnificiently In the clutch* es. filling the bases on walks In the i ] second, then retiring tb| next three men in order. He stranded; 'l2 Giants on the sacks and the I only runs scored off him before he 1 was relieved by Hugh Casey in the| ' ninth were homers by Whitey Lockman and Jack Lohrke. Catcher Bruce Edwards drove in three runs with a pair of doubles and added a single to lead the IC-hlt | Brooklyn attack. ( Two errors In the ninth, one by ’■ellalde Marty Marion gave the Reds an unearned run and a 4 to 3 victory over the Cards at St. Louis. Howie Pollet. worked well for seven innings in his 1948 debut

Many of the screaming, cursing victims of the police sticks were women Two of those hospitalized were women strikers. David Carson, attorney for the! union, immediately protested to Mayor Clark Tucker. Carson said the po ice "have no right to enter the union hall and beat up people, and certainly no right to neat up women." Capt. Eli Dahlin. detective in charge of the police detail, said the fighting began after he tried to reason with the crowd, dear'lie ed by Mayor Tucker as "an overly large gathering of strikers in - the plant gate area." 1 Dahlin said "we had reports 1 last night that pickets planned to 1 stone everyone who tried to go through the picket line." 1 Dahlin said the trouble could have- been avoided if pickets and • strikers had obeyed orders to : disperse. Instead, he said, "they swarmed together and formed a compact mob." The brawl ended inside the union's hail, diagonally across the streUt from the Cudahy gate.
