CLEVELAND IS LITTLE BETTER (’leveland Indians Little Chance Fo r First Division New York. Apr. 4 'DP) The Cleveland Indians, who occupied fourth place in tin- American League standing for the past four Tears, appear slightly stronger hut apparently have little chance of finishing In first division. In the training stretch they’ seem incapable of matching the sustained strength of the Senators or Yankees, or of heating out the > improved Tigers or Red Sox. Popular Walter Johnson Is starting his first full season as skipper of Tris Speaker's old club. He replaced Roger Peckinpaugh Ihst June. The warriors t eturn to League park this season, giving them a ' much closer right field wall than the vast municipal stadium wherein they performed last year. Johnson's big worry is the infield. particularly second base. He and Billy Evans are trying to get Oscar Melillo from the Browns or Buddy Myer from the Senators, j If these efforts fail: Al Trosky, who made SO homers with Toledo last season probably will start at . first base. O'Dell Hale, will be shifted from third to second; Willie Kanim will play third, and Bill Knickerbocker will perform at short; it is a mighty weak cotnbinat ion If a capable second baseman ADAMS THEATRE Tonight - Thursday ’’EIGHT GIRLS IN A BOAT’’ with Kay Johnson.

i>mld be brought In, Hale could "l play third, and Kamm, the fading |l<U‘.ihWl beauty, cottltj be used for j . utility purposes. Johnson hoped I I to use Bozo Berger from the New ' I Orleans > lith at second, but Hoze has yet to learn to hit big time pitching. Joe But nett is back tor Utility work and pinch hitting. The outfield seemed much improved; Joe Vosmlk, in left, apparently has returned to his bril- i ■ liant hatting form of '3l and ’32. i I Similarly Dick Porter, in right. has regained good condition. The dependable Earl Averill will be at • center. Bari should profit at bat ■ by the return of the shorter fence. Porter, weak against southpaw pitchers, has substitutes now in Bob Holland, a heavy hitter from the Milwaukee club, and ( i veteran Sam Rice from the Sen-. I ators. Johnson has a grand pitching • staff, and he is not greatly per-: turbed by Wes Ferrell's prolong- , nd holdout campaign. The Indians I had the iflost effective pitching in | the circuit last season, an earned j ’ run average of 3.71. This mark | was registered despite Ferrell's dismal slump to 11 won and 12 lost The temperamental Ferrell, former ace and firebrand of the j mound staff, probably will tie 1 traded off.
