National League's brightest | pitching prospects. ! | “I don't know," says 21-year-old Tommy, whose three-hit shutout of | Cincinnati was one of the early, | season’s masterpieces, with cigars, RICAN “sometimes I could kick myself in the pants for passing up a chance to go fo Duke.” | But when Hughes remembers [ that he's now a starting hurler for |a big league club—even though a | chronic tail-ender—he doesn’t mind ;the loss of higher education so much. | “Besides,” he says, . “if things work out ‘all right this season (if he keeps up his present stride) I might be able to go to college in' the fall and take some extra night work.” | The tall, slender righthander from Ashley, Pa, near Wilkes- | Barre, came to the Phillies this| spring from Baltimore. The price was $10,000. H Had the Orioles not commit- ted themselves to an agreement whercby the Phillies had first | choice on any two players for | that sum, Hughes would now be on the Boston Red Sox ros- | ter. His 14 victories against 11 | defeats last season looked | good and Boston offered $45,000 and a player for him. Baltimore became interested in Hughes in '38 when he was star- ring on sandlot teams at Wilkes- Barre. They wanted him to go ‘.nf Duke then, but, says Tommy, “I thought I was ready and I wanted| to play ball, so I said no.” i In ’39, the fast-ball artist went to Dover of the class D Eastern Shore League and won his first' nine games. Baltimore decided the kid was ready after all and called him up in '40. He came through spectacularly. ' Doc Prothro, the Phillies mana-, ger, declared early in spring train-| ing that Hughes was the cream of his mound corps. After Tommy humbled the champion Reds, allowing no more than one hit in any inning and aiving only two walks, Prothro said: “That boy is going to be one of the best pitchers in the league. He has a'lot to learn, of course, but he's got a lot of stuff on the ball—and =a good pitcher's attitude.” Catchers ‘Mickey Livingston and Benny: Warren of' the Phils also are high on Hughes. | “When Tommy's .right,” - says Livingston, “he has near-perfect control and his fast ball fairly sizgles.” : : : | Hughes tends to -be.on the seri-! ous side—he’s ‘the family bread-! winner. His father -is dead ~and| Tommy helps support his mother, three sisters and a younger brother. “All the more reason,” he says, “why I'm going to make good.
