WITT SAYS TELLER
BEST in BUSINESS
Tribe Manager Thinks Young
ster Will Have Another
Good Year This Season

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19-tP-
Oscar Witty" Witt, manager of the
Cleveland Indians, speaking on lis
favorite subject-baseball:
Bobby Feller is the best pitcher
in the game today. Barring acct
dents he'll continue to be for years.
Il think he will have at least as
good a record this year as last.
(Feller won "a and lost 9 for the
Indians.)
II read where I've been accused
of holding out my best pitchers when
we played the Yankees last season
and using them against the Red Sox
instead. I suspect my old pal, Joe
Cronin, started that story. That's
why I've nicknamed him 'crybaby.
If he looks up the records he"' find
Teller worked the same number OF
games against the Yankees : I'd the
Red Sox. He won 3 and lost 2 with
each club.
What Cronin doesn't know is
that Joe Mccarthy Of the Yanks said
to me during one series: You so and
so, you always work your best pitch
ers against us. Go to it. Well bat
their ears off,
"Once in a while I've given Feller
a four-day rest-remember, he's only
q boy-21 last November. But I'll
never pick any spots for him. He'll
take his regular turn. He's the best
pitcher in baseball. Does anybody
want to make something Of it"

sion that something IS SURF
Cats Too
Bob Black feels that warmer
days are ahead and to get things
on the upward trail he has called
out the New Hanover high schools
football candidates to give them a
taste of what to exrcct come the
fall of 40.
Starting today, the Cats will be
sent through some of the funda-
mental drills of the gridlron each
afternoon for the next two weeks
Footballs will fly and cleated rect
will pound the turf and the coach7
ing staff at the high school hopes
that the boys will get just enough
of football to make them come
out and really try next fall.
There are some mighty big
bows out there that I would like
to see on the team" Coach Black
says
Baseball Prospects
The Wildcats have completed
their spring schedule in the base
ball division and will start getting
ready for the campaign about the
first of March, which is just a hop
and a skip away.
With sever of the prospective
baseball players looking ahead to
their best year, the high school
nine feels that it's 1910 prospects
are much better than last.
Quite a few of the players found
invaluable experience while play
ing on the Junior Legion team
last year and this added knowledge
is expected to add a new punch
to the Cats team.
Practically all of last years var
sity players will be back this sea-
son. Floyd Bumgardner will handle

present In the liquid helps protect
the metal pipes against corrosion.
This means that in addition to cut
ting down porosity Of the concrete

combats the chemical reaction Of
the water on the metal in case a

Since plumbing and heating pipes
