And Sarazen canned the most famous shot, fflpl when he holes out a 230-yard spoon shot for a dou jKeagle which tied Craig Wood—and then won the play- young fellows with hot practice rounds have been jetting a big pre-tournament buildup but “Wee Bobby” ,I£ruickshank could warn them about that.

The game will be played on the night of August 31. Manager A1 Lopez said toeray he I will recommend that Hal Newhou 'ser be signed to a contract with the Cleveland Indians, provided the once-great southpaw and General Manager Hank Greenberg "can agree to reasonable terms.” "There is no doubt that Newhouser can help the Indians,” Lopez said af ter the 32-year-old former Tigers’ impressive five-inning performance against the New York Giants Wed nesday. CLEVELAND, Ohio (W The Cleveland Barons and Hershey Bears, tied at one victory each, meet In the third game of their Cleveland Indians May Have Chance BIRMINGHAM, Ala. HPI The Cleveland Indians are about to un tertake their perennial pursuit of the New York' Yankees and even though you may have heard this same refrain before. Manager A1 Lopez thinks his team has an ex cellent chance of finally catching the world champions this year. Lopez, a little tired and disgust ed of finishing second to the Yan kees for the past three years, says the Indians are improved this sea son “while the Yankees have got to be worse.’’ “They lost too much ti. Billy Martin and Vic Raschi,” Lopez ex plained. "Both were great compet l - tors with a world of talent. No club and that Includes the Yan kees can lose two fellows like that and not feel it.” After Lopez makes that pewit, he says that his own club has im proved with the addition of such players as veteran Dave Phllley. the outfielder acquired from the Athletics: rookie catcher Hal Nara gon; rookie pitchers Dick Toma nek, Don Mossi and Jose Santiago, and slugging Rudy Regalado; per haps the most spectacular rookie of the spring. The Indians leader is particular ly pleased with the addition of I’hilley, whom he feels will help the Cleveland outfield both offen sively and defensivey. Philley is virtually sure of a starting berth in the outfield as is the hot-and cold Larry Doby.

Lopez admits he is a lot more optimistic about his outfield which has such reserves as Dave Pope, A1 Smith. Bob Kennedy and even Harry Simpson, when he recovers from a fractured arm, than he is about his infield. First base continues to be a sore spot with the Indians, particularly in the light of the poor spring showing of Rocky Nelson. Lopez isn’t too high on either big Luke Easter or Billy Glynn, the other first base candidates, and he was talked about giving either Rosen or Ragalado. who is hitting better than .400 currently, a shot at the job. If Rosen moves from third base to first, Regalado, the former Uni versity of Southern California slug ger who already has nine homers to his credit, will take over third. Otherwise, Regalado may get a chance at first base. Cleveland’s double play combina tion Bobby Avila at second base and George Strickland at short stop appears set. Smooth-field ing Sam Dente and Smith, who can play third base as well as the outfield, are available for util ity duty. The club’s catching staff suffered a blow when Micky Grasso, ob tained from Washington for Joe Tipton, suffered a broken ankle earlier .this month but Naragon, just out of the Army, has done so well - that Lopez says he will alternate him with veteran Jim Hegan. “They gave no sign that they were over the hill last year,” Lo pez said, “and I can’t see then folding up suddenly this year, either.’’ Wynn and Lemon have shown their old-time effectiveness on sev eral occasions this spring but al though Garcia has been hit hard and has lost four games, Lopez isn’t fretting. “Garcia is too good a pitcher to keep getting hit like that," said Lopez. “He’ll find himself soon and I’m sure he’ll be okay.” Art Houtteman, who won only nine games last year, has looked particularly impressive this spring and even Bob Feller has turned in some fine work recently, adding to Lopez’ optimism. But the Tribe pilot has taken a particular shine to Tomanek, a southpaw fastballer who won 13 games with Indianapolis last year, and to Mossi, another young left hander who won 12 at Tulsa. With all that added talent, Lopez figurqse he may have enough final ly to overtake the Yankees. LYME REGIS. Eng.
