i Cleveland To w'* ' - u Pin Hopes On Two Rookies KINGSPORT, Tenn. UP* \- Clevelana iff pinning most of its pennant hopes today on a pair of i rookies —-pitcher Al Aber and outf fielder Jim Lemon—but should they fail, it looks like the 1 i i will have to take a back seat to the Yankees again. I 1 .Apart from .Aber and Lemon, ( the Indians essentially are the 1 same club that finished two games ; behind New York last year, • From ail appearances, the fast- | balling Aber should be a consist- : ent winner if he, manages to curb his hearty appetite. He is reported » to be -the heaviest eater on the ' club. j -Lemon, who like Aber, was rek cently let out of the army, is a : wiry, young long distance hitter who has his mark on several fences this spring. His specialty is extra-bajse hits with the accent on home runs. \ If Aber continues trt impress as hp has done so far, it is possible J that he might become Cleveland’s fourth starting -pitcher behind i Early Wynn, gob Lemon and Mike i Garcia. Veteran Bob Feller, who also haashown well this spring, | still isj in contention for a starting I berth/ however. , A Cleveland’s second line pitching ' probably will comprise Steve Gros mek. Bob Cha kales and Dick Weik, another ex-serviceman, while Lou \ Brissie; Bob Hooper and T£d Wilks will handle the relief jobs. “Last year;” Manager Al Lopez points out, “we suffered from a lack of reser ve strength. This year we won’t have that .problem. . “We have Hank Majeski to back »j up Al Rosen at third, George Strickland to help Ray Boone at short. Doug Hansen to spell 'Bo b- ,, by Avila at second- and Billy Glynn

to aid Luke (Easter at first.” One of those infielders may be ■ dropped before the season opener i but the Indians have a stronger bench than they had last season. Lopez insists Boone is the most improved player on the club. Another source of joy to Lopez is the fact that Easter’s knee has shown no signs of tire injury that hobbled him part of last year. The Indians’ regular outfield will consist of Dale Mitchell, Larry Doby and Harry Simpson r unless Lemon can force one of them out. Other candidates are veteran Bob Kennedy, recently discharged from the marines, and Wally Westlake, whose hitting has been near-spec-tacular this spring. ( Jim Hegan and Joe Tipton will handle the bulk of the, catching chores. v . i * ■ > Harold Hickman j \ To Coach Franklin ' , EDINBURG; Ind,, UP —Harold Hickman has resigned as athletic coach at Edinburg high school to become Franklin college basketball coach, it was learned today. Hickman, the basketball and football coach here since 1949, piloted the basketball Uam to tl|e semifinals of Indiana’s high school cage tourney tn IWI, for theTirst time in bhe scholo’s history. Add More Bleachers . At Marciano's Camp HOLLAND, Mich., UP — Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano draws such good crowds at his training! sessions that 50Q new bleacher seats are being added at his training camp here. The Holland Furnace Co., which owns the 220-acre tract where Marciano trains, said the new bleachers will bring the seating capacity to a total of 1,500 seats. The champion’s bout with Jersey Joe Walcott will he fought May 15 because Marciano's nose was injured by a sparring partner. • u \

Calif., 1 UP — Ernie Lombardi, former major league catcher, was in serious condition today with injuries suffered -When he cut his throat in a suicide attempt. | Doctors at Highland Hospital hfere said the 45-year-old baseball star was rushed there Wednesday, night after trying to kill himself in the bedroom of a friend’s home in nearby Castro Valley. J Congressmen Study Vet Benefit Costs ■ ,-u Studying Ways To Reduce Heavy Costs & WASHINGTON, (UP)—Foft the first time since World War 11, congress seriously is eyeing the big veterans benefit prograii for ways to save money. } Heretofore the program, Which is costirtF about 14,500,00.000 yearly, has been almost sacred politically. | No drastic changes are planned. However, moves are afoot itt the house appropriations and veterans committees aimed at saving hundreds of millions of dollats. The proposals woulp: 1. Stop free hospital cate of veterans whose ills are not d|e to service and who can afford to pay. 2. Curtail plans for construction of additional veterans hospitals—at costs now running about >20,000 per bed —-to care for such non-service connected • cases. 3. Bar free hospital care’/'for non-service connected ailments of veterans whose income is >4,000 yearly or more. 4. Review present standards as tb what constitutes a * service-con-nected ailment. 5. Abolish the government’s contribution of up to £l6O toward a veteran’s first year payments on a GI home, farm or business loan. This would \ save about a year.

Lakers Take long Lead Over Knicks NEW YORK, UP —! Big George Mikan is the high scorer who Woakes the Minneapolis Lakers miighty, but little Whitey Skobg is the clutch goal-getter who has practically cinched the National hasketiball association championship for them. i It was the six-foot Skoog who came off the bench Wednesday nigftt to hit with two drive-in field goals in the. last two minutes of play that meant a 7(1-69 victory over the New York Knicks and a 3-1 lea<! in games in the playoff finals. Now the Lakers need only to win Friday night’s game here to win the crown for the second straight And, even if they slip Friday, they still can win by taking either the sixth game or the seventh in Minneapolis next\ Sunday or Wednesday nights.

It said the government crop report d«e Friday'is expected to‘reflect the bad growing conditions and shpw a “sharp decline” in estimated production for all southwestern states. \ | [I. estimates are running high, with moisture reserves practically non-existent in wester Kansas; eastern Cotoradok and adjacent areas. Recent reports are also less favorable from southwestern and south-central Nebraska,” the report said. It said mosaic symptoms and crown rot are prevalent in most western ♦ Kansas A counties as drouth-weakened wheat plants begin growth in that area. The report said there have been increases in the acreage of lajnd to he seeded for crops this sprjng\ It said the alt-crop total for spring ■planted,; crtvps now I s >59,000,000 acres, a slightly higher figure than in 1952. , , ■ ' ' \j Some! large scale revisions are likely In the southwest, where the winter wheat crop is in prevayiobs condition, the report continues.’ , n • r J-.
