Rosor and CuIIenbine
Landed From Yunks,
Proving Big Help
By BILL KING,


BOSTON, May 27.-Now that Lou
Boudreau, youthful manager of the
top place Cleveland Indians, has
had chance to study all of the
American League opposition at close
range, he still rates his club as the
one to beat"
Il said before the season opened
that we would be the ones to beat
and have not seen anything in any
of the other clubs to make me
change my mind" Boudreau said.
Although the Indians start their
first Eastern swing against the Red
Sox today with only one 300 hitter
Oris Hockett, there are enough of
the other regulars close enough to
that charmed slugging circle to give
the club potent punch.
Could Use Another Hurler.
Boudreau especially is pleased with
the Indians balance, although he
does admit, now that Mel Harder is
sidelined with a fractured ankle.
that he could use a fourth starting
pitcher.
Jim Bagby, AL Smith and Chubby
Dean have held up very well on the
mound but Harder's loss was a ter
rife blow" Boudreau explained.
Since Vernon Kennedy and Al
Milnar have not hit their strides, we
will be handicapped until can find
a fourth starting pitcher. I have
hopes that Mike Naymick will solve
that problem.
Bagby, who has won five of his
six 1943 pitching starts, has been
taking his regular turn on the mound
to date, but Boudreau appears to be
picking the spots for SouthpaWs
Smith and Dean. who chalked up
their third straight victories in as
many starts Sunday when they
knocked the Yankees out of first
place.
Deal With Yanks Helped.
The Indians chieftain prides him.
self on getting the better of the
deal that sent Roy Weatherly and
Oscar Grimes to the Yankees for
Catcher Buddy Rosar and Outhelder
Roy Cullenbine.
"Cullenblne has filled in very we'll
for us not only in the outfield but
also at first base, and Rosar now
our first-string catcher, is hitting
better than ever" Boudreau said.
The only serious problem now be-
setting Boudreau appears to be his
first base situation. He has used
both Cullenbine and Otto Denning,
converted catcher. in that berth
and it still appears to be wide open.
