Teller Not
So Smart.
Says Dick
BY BOB CONsIDINE

NEW YORK, May 28.-Dick
Bartell, back in the National
League, formed some lasting inn
pnessionS of the American League
during his stay with Detroit. and
the most vivid one is his belief
that Bobby Feller is not quite
what he's cracked up 20 be.
"BObby's swell, of course"
Dick says. "but he's not very
bright. He hasn't smartehed up
a great deal since he came into
the league, and i honestly doubt
IL he's as good today as ne was
a couple of years ago. He's =
fine young pitcher, and all that.

"GiVe me two more Bob Eel
Iers and I'll not only claim the
American League pennant but
Also the World Series"
Roger Peckinpaugh the man
aGer of the league leading Cleve
land Indians. was asked TO size
up the pcnnant race now that ht
has seen all the teams in actor
in two series each, and had only
this mild request 10 make.
II was a hot evening, the In
dams had Just lost their third
straight game. And they thought
the umpireS hadn't given them
the best of II on "A decision on a
balk, but Roger Peckinpaugh was
cordial, Notwithstanding.
They're all tough In this
league this year" lamented
Peck. I'VE went into Philadel-
phia riding a five-game winning
streak and then dropped three I'm
"A row 10 the Macks. Now how
can you figure that out:
PITCHING Is BAD
We are leading the league. so
we Rlust say we are satisfied
with our club. Our pitching
hasn't been too good, but we
have had some splendid relief
work from Brown and Heving,
except against the Tigers.
THE rest OF our club Is per-
forming up 10 expectations. OF
course. when l talk about pitch
ing not being too good. I'm en-
cepting Bob Feller. He has been
grand. He has nine victories to
his credit. Today he goes after
his tenthe against the Tigers.
Has he chance 10 win 35
games: Well. that's a lot Of VIC
tories bat IL he keeps up his
remarkable pace he can do IL.
"FeIler gets better every
start. His last two performances
against Washington and st.
Louis were masterpieces.
NO-DRAFT VENTILATION
AS far as we know the draft
won't take anybody this year.
But the speed with which things
happen these days, you can't be
sure.
After watching all the clubs,
would hesitate to say which
team will give us the most
trouble in our pennant drive.
The Tigers say they would be
a more serious threat with Hank
Greenberg In the lineup. But
look how Bruce Campbell is bat
ting. With Hank in there, we
won FIVE out OF six from De
troit. With him in the army, we
lost three in row.
II don't mean TO say the
Tigers won't miss Hank. You
can't take a fellow who hits a.
many runs over the plate as he
does out OF your Outfield with
out hurting your chances. But
that Bruce Campbell. What "A
headache he has been TO us in
the last three games.
YANKS NOT so HOT
THE Yankees are not the
powerful team OF old. They get
runs but not i'm the clusters they
did formerly. And their pitching
Is Sagging. Pitching is also a
problem for the Red SoN.
The best pitching in the
league is being turned in by the
White SoN. II N keeping them
right on our heels, and IL II
keeps up, they'll he n real
threat. However, the loss OF
Johnny Rigney TO the army, will
he bitter blow.
IAN I'm all, I think IL will be n
great race. We hope 10 stay out
i'm front until the end, but we
know we can't let down any
where along the line. It's that
kind Of race"
