The night to strike Is as funda-
mental as the rights of free press
and free speech. To lose il would
mean involuntary servitude and

Green appealed for ''under-
standing" and persuasion"
rather than denunciation of
strikes In defense Industries.
He said the official attitude
of the federation against de-

last year. they seem to be afflicted
with that incurable malady Of
Yankee titus They Just can't
seem to keep the Yankees of their
mind and for that reason they
are again naming them as the
American League champions. But
this year. in my opinion. they
have less reason for believing the
Yankees to win as they had last,
yet they pick them. Let's get
down to facts:
"Messrs. Dickey. Rolfe. Gomez
Rufiing and Selkirk aren't lads OF

field the Yanks will have two un.
tried rockies in Rizzuto and Prid-
dy. Sure. they played bangup ball
in the minors last year. But who
knows II they will do so in the
majors.
And don't forget there's a guy
named Bob Feller over at Cleve'
land-if he doesn't break his arm
he's a cinch to win Is to 80
games. / might be wrong. but I'm
still picking Cleveland"
That's the way ! reasoned II
out before the season started and
while my early reasoning may
prove to just have been a mirage
I'm still saying today. as I said
then. that the Cleveland Indians
will crush all opposition in their
path this season.
Cleveland did not reach the
promised land" in 1910 but you
can't tell me 1t did not have a
better ball club than those De-
troit's aged Tigers.
The Bengals had then. as they
have now. a fine cast Of perform
ers but Cleveland wasn't beaten
by club ball club year. They
beat themselves. Disorganization

Of any pennant-aspiring array

something Cleveland should have
