What happens next in the way
of rebuilding the Mats, said
Kuhel, depends on the deals

EXPERTS PREDICT GREAT FUTURE
FOR LARRY DOLBY AND MITCHELL

1t may seem strange to be think
ing about the future at a time
when the Cleveland Indians are
making such a concerted bid for
their first American League cham
pionship in twenty-eight years.
But to any observer who has
regularly watched the rapid de-
velopment of their two brilliant
young outfelds, Dale Mitchell and
Larry Dolby, it is hard not to con-
jure up dreams of baseball glory
for the years ahead.
If the Indians are able to con-
tinue their winning ways and go
on to spot in the World Series,
their matchless veteran infeld will
undoubtedly be acclaimed as the
basic factor-and with good rea-
son. All of them, Keltner, Gordon,
and Boudreau, have been having
great years. Not only their aero
battles afield but their timely hit
ting and potent uns-batted-in to-
tails made them worthy choices for
the All-Star game lineup.
Yet this same and admittedly
brilliant infeld could boost the
Indians no higher than fourth a
year ago. Something new had to
be added to make it possible for
the spectacular climb to the top.
And that something is a pair Of
youthful outfielders whose day by
day Improvement has been so
amazing that it borders on the SEN
sational.
Game after game it has been
fantastic catch or a timely hit by
twenty-six-year-old Dale Mitchell
or twenty-three-year-old Larry
Dolby that has brought the Tribe
home in front. 1t was Mitchell
who saved Bob Lemons no-hitter

while Dolby may have made the
longest run in baseball history
