Clark Griffith Finds Bargain In Young Walter Masterson
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Clark Griffith’s investment in pitchers of tender years has already paid him handsome dividends—Sid Hudson, for example—and today it looks as though the “old fox” of the Washington
Senators has found another bargain
Hudson was plucked out of a class D league at the age of 21. In the ensuing :two years he won 30 games fanning 204 batters.
‘he has won eight and Iost only 10.| Masterson, brought up from Charlotte in the Piedmont league in 1939 at the age of 19, was no particular source- of joy ‘to the Senators , through 1941, winning only nine games against 18 defeats. But today his performances are helping to spark the Senafors’ winning spurt. Fashions Shutout
The six-foot righthander fashioned his fourth shutout of the season last night as the Senators blanked the Red Sox, 1-0, in the nightcap of their twilight doubleheader béfore 17,000 fans at Washington. The Nats won the opener behind Hudson, 9-3, the double killing stretching their winning streak to four in a row and their current record to nine victories in 11 starts. Masterson has now. marked up whitewashing against the Indians,

Rizzuto’s single drove in the second marker in the fourth. Then Rizzuto scored what proved to be the game-winner when he forced Bill Dickey, advanced on a sacrifice and tallied on Buddy Hassett’s single.
