INDIANS

GreenNille, Miss, April 6-CUP)- Although Al Milnar Jim Bagby and Al Smith are the only pitchers Manager Lou Boudreau of the Cleveland Indians is willing to call regulars, Mel Harder will pitch the opening game in Cleveland April 17.

He will be spotted here and there early in the season, de- banding somewhat on the weather. For the seasons opener at Detroit, April 14, Milnar or Bagby will prob ably get the call.
 Tn the meantime. the Indians re- joined the New York Giants here today and will continue their series with them into Cleveland Saturday.
