Starred In Training Hedrick, just out of high school

last June, was.a star in spring’

training and exhibition games but lack of experience finally caught up with him when-the American Association's championship race

got under way. Tribe officials think the tall lad has great possibilities; however, and he'll be watched closely by Pirate scouts. After playing in the Tribe's first two regular season games, Hedrick was replaced at short by, Mel Rue, up from Memphis.
