Indians Going To Be Very Tough Says Casey Sfengel

NEW YORK. July l'I-(AP)- "They've got the power. they hits- tle and they're fortified. They're going to be very. very tough."

Casey Stengel was doing the talking. Mostly about Cleveland Indians. It was a one-sided con-

versation aa it almost always is when you interview the manager of New York Yankees.

Casey wouldn't say so in as many words but he gave you the impression that he considered Lou Boud.reau's Cleveland Indians the team to beat in the American League. This despite the fact that the Indians were in third place before Monday's games, l'i games behind the runner-up Yankees and 5'5 behind the pace-setting Detroit Tigers.

"That Boudrcau has changed over that club a couple of years ahead of schedule," said Stcngei. "and doing one too. That big guy at first (Luke Easter) afid that guy at third (A1 Rosen), gives him a load of power. That's what you need at first and third, power.

”They say Rosen couidntt field in the majors. Made four or five errors a game out in the coast league last year. He's sure chang- ed. Fields great now. Then, you don't need too much fielding strength there. How many bails a game does a third baseman get? Two or three. That Rosen has got 25 homers. So what if he blows one at third?

"And that Boudrcau. he fortifles them. That Boone (Ray Boone) kid is doing all right at short. So if he needs help. what have those Indians got? Boudreau, that's what. He can take over anyone of those infield spots.

That guy in centre (Larry Doby) can go and get that ball, and hit like the blazes. That cat- cher (Jim Hcgan) la the best thrower around. How many bases have been stolen on him?

"And look at that pitching." said Stcngel who was going non-stop now. "He's got 12 guys to chuck in there.

"How many games have the In- dians won lately?"

Casey answered his own quest- (on. "They've won 20 odd out of

At an executive meeting of the Charlottetown Y's Men's Club held last evening. it was ” '-' ” that the Club would take the responsi- bility of sponsoring and conduct.- ing the Queens County Bwimminx Meet which will be held here at Victoria Park on August 5th.

and diving competitions back to a prominent. place in Provincial sporting circles. is rapidly devel- oping since a. group of interested sportsvrneii got together a week or so ago to promote the interest in the sport and lay plans for the holding of an all-Province meet here this summer. I I I

Representatives from all three Counties met here last week and set the date for the Provincial Meet at August 30th at Summer- side. Since that time the individual County enthusiasts have been de veloping their own plans for meet: us a fore-runner to the Province- wide affair and as a means of sel- ecting their best swimmers and divers to represent them in Pro- vincial competition.

The return of swimming

Plans for the Queens County Meet were launchedlast night when one of the City's most prominent service clubs, the Charlottetown Y's Men, held an executive meetr lng and decided to sponsor the County event to be held off floats at Victoria Park on August fifth. Dr. R. H. Barrett. vice-president, was selected as general chairman of the meet committee with other working committees also being set up to organize the event.

I I I

It is also understood that the Prince and Kings County divisions are well on their way in the de- velopment of their individual championships which will be held in the near future at sunimerslde and Georgetown, with the Y's Men sponsoring the Western divislm. and the Community Welfare Lea- gue expected to sponsor the East- ern division.

I I I

The at-dent way that the County groups are tackling the develop- ment. is a good indication that the -meets, both County and Provincial will be successful sporting features that will develop into actual events. They will add another phase of sporting activity to the already large Provincial sporting program, that on a. per caplta basis. ranks among the best in the Dominion.

It was a full nine-inning ball game.

A number of lesser lights put up close struggles. half a dozen or more matches going to an extra hole. But many better-known pro- vlnclal team players had byes.

They included Bill Mawliinney of Vancouver. former Canadian junior champion and one of the strongest bids from the west coast. Johnny Peirson of Montreal, the Boston Bruin hockey player, was also missing from opening day competition.
