DAVIS CALLED A
BLACK SOLOMON


NEW YORK (ANP) "A unique
tribute paid to the poetry of Frank
Marshall Davis, author of Black
Mans Verse, was that of william
Rose Benet, internationally famous
author and staff critic for the Sat
urday Review of Literature, who
in the January Is issue said some
of Davis's verse was that of q.
black Solomon"
This poet can express himself,
Benet wrote. HE has rhythm and
music in him and fiery words and
fresh phrases and images. He is
a realist in speaking up for his
own race, in his pictures of the
steel mills of Gary, Indiana, in his
pictures of Chicago land his love
songs are those of a black Solo

There's a velvet cloak to O'Neill'S
ruggedneSS. In HornSby the gran

THE first fine thing about the
Indians is the winning spirit Of

his spiked shoes tight. THE loss
of Bruce Campbell jolted us, and
the fuss made over the unfortun-

health authorities here give us a
clean bill of health.

Campbell's shoes in fine style. He's

Averill has changed his hitting
style. Used to be a pull hitter
exclusively, or almost exclusively,
but he bumped one into left field
for you yesterday, and he hit over
the left field fence in Boston.
Cracks ball hard into left field.
"JOe VOSmik has started to
hit" grinned Steve. bad news
for the pitchers, but good news
for us. TrOsky has changed his
style at the plate q bit. Stands
Straighter and swings better.
He is heavier and in better trim.
"Our pitching should be bet

Johnny Allen pitched q couple
Of swell games for us, and there
are more coming from him.
BIaehOIder showed you yeSter-
day that he is better than he
was. HiIdebrand, Lloyd Brown
and Lee are going nicely. all
ready to produce winning ball.
It looks all right"
OF course Steve didn't say any
thing about the man who has
aided in the rejuvenation Of the
Cleveland team. That man is
Steve O'Neill himself. He's a
rugged soul, ready to put a man on
the back or use more strenuous
methods of persuasion. But the
Cleveland team is swearing by
their leader and not at him.
That helps.

"Of course, I haven't seen
the Athletics" said Steve with
q drOll grimace, "but that will

so far is New York. Those
Yankees have a fine defensive
team, good pitching and they
have q couple Of bats loaded

his break.in. II he is half the
ball player everyone says he Is,
the Yankees will make mighty

"What about BOstOn?" we
asked.
"Great," said Steve with all
the candOr of the O'NeillS Of
the Red Hand. "A lot Of hit

everything that a team should
have excepting maybe pitching

"What about Washington"
we asked O'Neill.
"Well, they seem to score .
lot of runs, or they had scored
q lot of runs up to yesterday.
Maybe with good pitching
they'll be all right. But it's .
team that will need a lot Of
good pitching. It's q team

Speaking of youngsters loving
the game. Angelo Valenza is one
outstanding example.
Angelo is the regular second
baseman of the Central High
School nine. He's one Of those
youngsters you read about in
books, y'know, one that thinks,
eats and sleeps baseball all Of the
time.
Valenza is a pretty good second
sacker for the Mt. Pleasanters.
Because of his size-he stands
only a little over 5 feet-he's the
lead-off man in the teams batting
order.
This doesn't take away from his
effectiveness as a hitter, as he
still manages to get his share Of
base knocks-and in the pinches,
too.
