Gordon, Named Goat
In ~ Series, Picked
Now as Likely Hero
BY GrontIond Rice
Speeioi Correspondent Of The Stor

BOSTON, Oct. 6.-Annually 1t Is
the duty of some self-appointed
members Of the press to select the
hero and the goat of the World
Series-after it is over.
Why not in advance? A few years
ago 1942), in spirit approaching
the lighter and more festive side, We
told one of our best friends In the
N. P. tmeaning national pastime)
in advance that he had been nomi-
mated as the Series goat. Incident
ally. he had been the hero of the
Series the year before.
His name happens to be Joe Cor
don. He spent that Series striking
out or getting caught off base. The
year before Joe had batted 500.
You did it," Joe told me later,
more in anger than in sorrow.
II was only kidding" suggested
Il know" Gordon said, but took
you seriously. I trusted you"
Among those who have a chance
to be the goat of this series are Sain.
SPAIN, Dark, Stanky and Holmes
Of the Braves-Feller, Boudreau,
Keltner and Dolby of the Indians.
Why? Only one of the ballyhooed
stars can be the goat. You can't
turn . goat into goat AS Mr..
Churchill said of some sappy oppo-
nent-"He is still sheep in sleeps
clothing" We have no intention of
putting the curse on anybody again
as we did with Joe Gordon.
So how about naming the hero?
What about Joe Gordon, the Cleve-
land fash?
Joe Gordon" Joe Mccarthy told
me one day, can be as great ball
player as he happens to feel like
being So let's nominate Flash"
Gordon in advance for top honors
in this 1948 series.
1t would be no surprise If AL Dark
outplayed and outhit Boudreau at
short. Could happen. For Dark is
great athlete, as brilliant at foot
ball as he is at baseball. Or suppose
Eddie Stanky outplayed Gordon?
Oops-we take that back. No more
hexes for Oregon Joe.

Indians Pitcher Becomes
Ace After Many Failures

States and after several appear
ances in exhibition games Coach
Bill McKechnie told reporters,
Lemon never will make pitcher"
That feeling virtually was unani-
nous and even Lemon wasn't smit-
ten with the idea of being converted
into a pitcher. He loved to see
action every day and wasn't en-
thralled with the idea of laboring
every fourth or fifth day as
pitcher. He hadn't abandoned hope
that he could make the grade as an
outfielder.
Lemon, unimpressive as pitcher,
was returned to the outfield at the
start of the 1947 season and launch
ed the year Specatacularly with a
game-savlng catch. But in several
weeks Bob's batting average had
plunged to .180 and Manager Lou
Boudreau requested McKechnie to
school Lemon as pitcher.
Started With Five Straight.
1t was on July 81, last year, that
McKechnie gave Boudreau the "go"
sign on Lemon as starting pitcher.
Bob won five straight games as a
starter and finished the season with
an lis record. Nine of those VIC
tories were registered after July 81.
The trim right-hander was so
talented that President Bill Veeck,
in one of his frequent rosy forecasts,
predicted 20 wins for Lemon in
1948. Lemon fulfilled that guess,
winning 20 and losing IA. He
pitched II shutouts In the process.
Lemon now is key figure in the
Indians highly regarded set Of
starters. With Feller and Gene
Bearden he seemingly Is prepared
to present Cleveland enough pitch
ing to match and perhaps outshins
the Braves Johnny Sain and War
ren SPAIN.
Lemon, the incompetent infielder
and outfielder as a pitcher could be
the glory boy of the series.

BOSTON. Oct. 6.-Bob Lemon,
who turned to pitching in despera-
ton after failing as an infielder
and outfielder, could be the Cleve-
land Indians Cinderella man of
the 1948 World Series.
As the Indians prepared to tam
gle with the Boston Braves here
today, the 28-year-old Lemon could
review a baseball career which was
transformed from haunting night
mare into a beautiful dream in a
little more than a year.
Lemon, who opened the 1947 sea-
son as an outf1elder-saving a game
for Bob Feller with a magnificent
catch-is calculated to fire for the
Indians in the second game of the
series. He'll be making his debut
as a series starter as a 20-game
winper who is acknowledged to be
one of baseball's better pitchers.
Adjudged too erratic to be an in
fielder, Bob dabbled in pitching dur
ing the 1916 season, winning four
games and losing five. He was a
handy man among the Indians
pinch-hitting, playing the infield
and outf1eld occasionally and pitch
ing sporadically-and at the end of
the year he signed on with Feller's
transforming group in the role.
An Ideal Utility Man.
AS one of the lesser employees,
Lemon occasionally relieved Feller,
Johnny Sain, Dutch Leonard or
Spud Chandler on that 30-day
jaunt, but he also filled in at short
stop, third base or in the outfield.
He was an ideal utility man, but
little more.
1t was as a pitcher that Lemon
reported to the Indians spring
training camp in 1947, but he was
no immediate success. He had a
notion the strike zone was some
where in the vicinity of the United
