Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola
DO YOU want to know: why the Indians are $olng to win the pennant this golden anniversary ear?’ Are you interested in some top-drawer reasons why the Indians won the opening game with Milwaukee? I have all the stuff right here, What follows didn't come out of a crystal ball or sources close to Don Gutteridge. I went to the 1951 opener and did some sharp observing and cogitating. The fact that the Indians got seven runs and Milwaukee only four is important, of course, but by no means the whole story. When you're looking at a team with a microscope, many factors appear that might startle the fan who sees the game with the naked eye. Let's look at Manager Don Gutteridge for a moment. He certainly contributed heavily to the victory. He did by stepping out of the dugout on his left foot all evening, Yes, sir, every time Don came out, his left foot was leading. He probably doesn't know that. You probably didn’t notice. 1vow, do you see why some people are experts? oS ® CATCHER JIM MANGAN should be mentioned prominently, Jim wears the elastic band on his mask low on his head and never allows it to creep up. Like in everything else, the little things are most important. Another contributing factor is Jim's center elastic on his protector. Every inning Jim comes out with the elastic a little to the:left of the center of his back. You can see his No. 9 without any trouble. You might be wondering what the elastic on his mask and protector havé to do with winning the opening game and the pennant. For the benefit of those who don’t know the importance of having a million insignificant things perfect, I want to ask you: Wouldn't Jim and the Indians suffer if his mask kept slipping off his head during a game? * & o DOESN'T Jim's morale get a boost when he knows his number is plainly visible to the fans? When he knows they know he wants to do his best, right? And when he does his best everybody benefits, the Indians win and the percentages go up and the pennant is in the teepee. Pitcher John McCall picked up his first win. I guarantee it won't be his last. I read his lips and he said, “Win this game, John.” And John did. The hurler pitched a full nine innings the first time this year and that in itself is an excellent omen.
He’s Sure Indians
. Will Win Pennant
JOHN is the type of batter who doesn’t do a war dance when it's time to bat. He signply picks out a bat, walks to the plate, waits for the delivery and swings. In the last of the seventh, John blasted a two-base hit, bingo. Frank Kalin is going to bring the team good fortune because he hung on to his old No. 13 shirt. The rest of the numbers were changed. Gutteridge wore Al Lopez’ No. 10 during training but switched to 14. Hé'll bring glory to that number on his own. * oo &
FIRST BASEMAN Edward Stevens works off his excitément by tugging on his cap. Left fielder Don Hedrick pounds the clay off his left foot only when he goes to bat. Lloyd Gearhart ‘hits
both with a bat. . . The average baseball fan doesn’t realize that if Hedrick had orders to strike both feet before he bats, and Gearhart was told to hit only his left foet, both would probably wind up in the cellar of the batting column. Without stretching this analysis too much, you can say that Governor Schricker contributed to the successful opening of the season. Gearhart held the Governor's white hat. almost up to the time he went fo bat. The man was inspired. He slaj ed the ball over the inside edge of the s¢oreboard 360 feet away. o> oD
THROUGHOUT the season Gearhart will remember how he opened the 1951 season. He'll remember how he got another hit and walked once. The Milwaukee pitcher was leery of Lloyd. Victory Field is in better shape this year. The grass is neatly clipped and the edges are true with the clay areas. Foul lines this year are gold instead of white in keeping with the golden anniversary. Smart thinking on the part of the owners of the Tribe plant. > @ BEFORE the season opened other experts out the Indians in fourth place. They think that's the way the season will end with Minneapolis the top club. Baloney. I know not how others judge and prognosticate. This expert has studied the signs and he goes on record that the Indians will win the pen‘nant. The wind direction Tuesday night indicates it won't be a breeze for the Indians. But they’ll win just as they won that night. How and ugh.
OUR INDIANS—A "real" expert read the signs and predicts the Tribe to win the pennant.

Blood Bank By Harman W. Nichols
WASHINGTON, Apr. 19 — Blood® from the veins of the great and near-great in the newspaper and radio business will flow into the Red Cross kitty for Korea on Apr. 27. The National Press Club's banquet hall will be turned into a blood center on that day. Many among the membership have agreed to submit to a painless needle and let a pint of blood each to help fill a bank, which at times, comes close to running empty. The Red Cross will be on hand with mobile equipment, doctors, and nurses to collect a sizable donation. The club's board of governors, made up of some of the most prominent newspaper and radio men in the country, is behind the unprecedented program. The men themselves realize the need for blood at home and on the field since they have a vast honor roll of their own set in bronze in the club lobby. Se MANY of the officers themselves will contribute. Men like Carson F. Lyman of U. 8S. News and World Report, president of the N. P. C. V. Truman T. Felt of the St. Louis Star-Times, vice president; Frank Rogers of the Los Angeles News, secretary; George W. Combs of the Baltimore Evening Sun, treasurer; Frank Kent Jr, of the Baltimore Sun, financial secretary; Theodore F. Koop of C. B. 8, chairman of the board; Nicholas P. Gregory of the Philadelphia Inquirer, vice chairman of the board; and board members
