Indians Specialists In Taking Close Ones

(Editor's note: This is the second of two articles discussing the Cleveland Indiana’ strong and weak points and their chances in the forthcoming world series.) •y Dill levy CLEVELAND (INS) — The Cleveland Indians aren’t the kind of ball club that beats your brain* put—they do it the slow and painlees way. Manager Al Lopes learned a long time ago that it doesn’t’ matter by how many runs you win so long a* you wind up on top. And the Indians have become notorious for winning one - and -two - run bell games In their stampede to the American League pennant. Not that the Indians lack a potent slugging punch. They can etand toe-to-toe with the best of them. "" The backbone of Cleveland’s ■home i-un attack is made up of Al Rosen, two ■ time American League homer king, and Larry Doby, who won slugging honors in 1952 and appears certain to nail the league four-bagger crown this season. the American 'circuit’s most valuable player last season, has batted in over 100 runs this season, making him the only player in the majors to accomplish that feat in each of the past five seasons. But with Rosen Injured much of the season, Doby Jjds taken over as the club’s’ No.’l stickman and has driven in more than 110 run*, the top production of bis career. Cleveland has averaged about a homer a game and there are eight men in the lineup who have hit at >art 10 for the circuit Bob AvHa, Vic Wertz, Dave Philley. Jim Megan, Wally Westlake and Al Smith belt an occasional long one and each has accounted personally for some important ricj tories this season. Many of the Tribe’s homers came when the team wits behind dr |in a tight bail gam* and not too I many of them haWbeen wasted. As a hitting team, the Indians rate fourth in the league, but still managed to set a record-breaking pace. Brilliant pitching has made up for whatever hitting and fielding deficiencies the team may have.' Defensively, with the exception of first base, the Indians are as sound as they have been since the /lay. Lou Boudreau. Ken KeltnFFand Joe Cordon (were aiming up with sparkling infield worXAnd a solid bench has kept thefts rolling even when regular members of the infield were sidelined. Third baseman Rosen-and second baseman AvHa suffered broken fingers, and George Strickland, the slick-fielding shortstop, fractured his jaw. With these key players out, tWe Indians continued to function smoothly as a result of the efforts of ißudy Regalado, Hank Majeskl, Sam Dente and Smith, who alternated at various spots in the infield. “ * First base is another story. Vic Wertz, an outfielder acquired from Baltimore, has done a creditable Job, but Is inexperienced. Hie boomihg bat has made up for any defensive shortcomings, however. Bill Glynn, Cleveland's other first baseman, is a good man with a glove but not much with a bat. Cleveland has its best defensive outfield in years with Doby in center and Smith and Philley flanking him in left and right, respectively. All throw well, are surehanded and are not afraid to challenge any wall or fence. The second outfield platoon consists of Dave Pope. Dale Mitchell and Westlake, all capable substitutes.* Cleveland, as a team, makes its Share of mistakes. Whidh club doesn’t? But as Casey Stengel put it the other day, "a team that wins over 100 games doesn’t make too many mistakes. It can’t.'* Monmouth Eagles Defeat Hartford The Monmouth,.

Giants Defeat Dodgers, Take / '■ -•<-/. . . 4-. National Flag NEW YORK (INS) — The champion New York Giants go into baseball’s richest World Series as underdogs against a mighty Cleveland team packed with pitching power and ready to shatter the all-time American League record for victories. * r The Giants clinched the flag last night with a 7-to-l victory over the defending champion Brooklyn Dodgers — touted as one ot the most prolific slugging teams in National League history. ~ Bai Maglie’s masterful five-hit pitching helped make New York and Cleveland World Series opponents for the Grat time. But the oddamakets say Indian pitching will spoil New York's bid for a fifth world championship — first Since 1933 — and will make the Indians kings for the third time in three series trios. If the Indians think they're going to have it easy, however, Leo Durocher has other ideas. Loquacious Leo Called is team “the greater ... a real championship team" last night after winning the flag. Even the vanquished Dodger manager, Walter Alston, attested to Leo’s’ champions. "They were a great club all year," Alston said in a tumultuous Giant dressing room, “and they were certainly‘great tonight." The champagne-uniiking Durocher heaped praise on hie charges, saying: "Maglle was wonderful. The team did a great job. all the players. They hustled every minute. They played better with their

backs to the wall. "Johnny Antonelli made this a better team and Willie Mays was a big difference. The bench was better. They were beautiful.” But after all the back-slapping and handshaking, Durocher paid tribute to Alston. “That man in the other room there,” Be said, “is a real nice guy. He did a fine job considering all the injuries they had.” Durocher confided: "I never wae at ease all year about winning. You couldn’t be with a team like Brooklyn behind you. I was a little worried when they came up within a half game. But when these fellows answered that challenge by driving ahead again, I knew we had a championship type of team. "When the Dodgers approached close again, these Giants again hit back and rebuilt their lead. There was no question that they were a real bunch of ball players when they did that.’’ Durocher said he hadn't given much thought to the World Series but told newsmen: “We’ve played them so much they don't need much scouting.” The Giants have beaten the Indians eight out of 13 times in spring exhibition games. Maglie’s fine pitching and a 14hlt assault against Dodger ace Carl Erskine and two relievers ended Brooklyn’s two-year reign. It gave the Giants an insurmountable 6’A-game lead with six games remaining. Maglie beat the Brocks for the fourth time this year and the 22nd time in 20 lifetime decisions. It was his 14th win of the year against six losses. The Giants actually won it in the first inning when Whitey Lockman walked, Al Dark singled, Willie Mays singled Lockman home and Hank Thompson singled Dark home. Mays wrested the league batting lead from hitless Duke Snider. His two singles and a double in five trips boosted his average to .344.
