|Hur|er S Four-Hit Job
Against Washington
Adds 10 Prestige
By Jock Hand

Bob Lemon is forcing Bobby
Feller to take = back seat in the
Cleveland wigwam. With three wins
in four starts he tops Rapid Robert
In wins, complete games and even
in strikeouts.
You probably can get at least
2 to / that Feller will wind up the
season with more Of each than
Lemon, who is starting his second
season as q full-fledged pitcher.
Lemon, however, is not to be
shrugged OF as q spring phenome-
non.
Lemon banged around the In
dians' minor league farms for flve
years Is q third baseman. When
he came back from the Navy in
1916, Manager Lou Boudreau
shifted him from third to center
field. He was not q success, hitting
.l80 in 50 games. Then Boudreau,
impressed by his strong arm, sent
him to the bullpen. In 80 games
he won four and lost five.
Won II, Lost in 1947.
It looked as If Lemon was to be
Just another relief man last year
until July 81, when Boudreau, in
a moment of desperation, gave him
a starting chance. He responded
with q win and reeled OF 10 In the
last half OF the season for a fine
lis record. Experts predicted q
great future. Lemons four-hit shut
out of Washington last night lent
emphasis to these predictions.
While Lemon has been writing
his own success story, Feller has
been knocked out Of the box In his
last two starts. Before that Feller
threw Q two-hit shutout and ran q
string of II consecutive scoreless In
nings.
In addition to his pitching Lemon

Macarthur "TOO Busy" To Give Advice In U. s.

WASHINGTON LP), The House foreign affairs committee had a touchy political decision lifted right out of it's hands Saturday by Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
 The generals name got tangled up in the committees aid-to-C China discussions Friday when some members suggested inviting him to Washington to testify on Far Eastern problems.
 That started an argument. Con greSsmen opposing the move said it could be used as an attempt to boom Macarthur for the COP Presidential nomination.
 But others insisted that MacAr- thur should be asked home from Japan to give valuable advice on how to help China overcome its native communist armies.
 The general settled the whole problem himself. He said he is too busy to make the trip.
 While I deeply appreciate the confidence reflected in the sugges- ton I return to the United States to state my views to the House for eign affairs committee on the Chi na relief plan," he said in Tokyo statement, "I hope the committee will not further the idea"
 That seemed to settle the fight before it really got going.
 A Macarthur man, meanwhile announced in Chicago that he is going to establish a national head quarters in Washington for back CTS of the general.
 The Chicagoan is Warren Wright, banker and former Illin- oiS state treasurer.
 "The objective of me and my friends" he said, "is to create a popular demand for General Mac Arthur that will compel the Re publican national convention to nominate him this summer"
