Why Lopez Was Wary About Spare Fielder

By Eddie Ash

NOW WE know why Cleveland Manager Al Lo pez was reluctant about sending an outfielder to his club's, Indianapolis farm . . , He gave logical reasons why he couldnt let go of one, although he had seven . , , One

reason he couldn’t disclose.

It was a well-guarded secret between Manager and

player . . , when Outfielder Bob Kennedy reported to Cleveland's training camp this spring he kept secret the fact he had been called back to active duty in the Marine Air Corps . ,% He received the orders in February . . , His knew about it, no one else . . . Later, he told Lopez

“league’s first pitcher to go nine

and it was agreed to keep it quiet. Kennedy's orders arrived soon after

the Cleveland ball club until

May 21 . , . Lopez really had in mind to send either Fearless Jim Fridley or Harry Simpson to Indianapolis. But after Kennedy departs, Lopez will have only six outfielders, with Fridley the only righthanded hitter among them . . . It could seal Jim's job there if he continues to hit big league pitching fairly well . . . But he'll have to continue to hit, that's for sure, according to Cleveland pronouncements . . . Chances of Indianapolis ever landing Simpson have fled, says Cleveland.

JOE ‘KNACK, Toledo Blade sports editor, writes:

“There is nothing wrong wi

th baseball in Toledo that a

first-division club wouldn't make right. If the Mud Hens

are among the upper four,

we believe Toledo fans will

make the 1952 season a financially happy one for the

new owner.

“If the Hens, on the other hand, show signs of permanent second divisionities, then moving day may be

earlier than you think.”

. By “moving day,” Knack means the liklihood of losing the franchise to Charleston, W. Va. . .. The Blade's sports writer blames much of the smear heaped on Toledo to the American Association's general managers, who, he says, don’t particularly like Toledo as a baseball town.

Columbus scored one run off Vitter. Dickey had a 7-1 lead going into the fourth inning when

duel of 1952.

A first-inning single was the last hit Bill Bright gave Manchester yesterday as Indiana Central won a 2-1 Hoosier College Conference victory. But despite Bright's effectiveness, the Greyhounds had to squeeze over Willls Oldham in the bottom of the ninth to gain the victory. Oldham drew a walk to start the inning and Jack Colescott also drew a ‘free trip. Ken Eller singled to fill the bases. Ray Lee then laid down a perfect Bust scoring Oldham.

In gaining his victory, Bright struck out 18 batsmen.

ager of the big oval which has been the scene of 35 previous international classics. It came from Lee S. Glessner, Wheeling, W.

Any additional entries mailed prior to the deadline also will be eligible, but Shaw expressed the belief the fleld now {is complete.

GLESSNER HAS named his car the Jeanie-Lee Special and the entry form describes it as a new four-cylinder rear-drive creation with a piston displacement of 270 cubie inches.
