The Tribe Is a risky bet. despite
the glitter of last years stars and
the additions President Bill Veeck
acquired during the winter. Bear
den and Lemon will have to re-
peat to establish themselves firmly
as 20-game winners. There is
some question as to whether Teller

such terrific seasons again? And.
although Dolby hit .301 in his first
year as a regular, rival managers
hint strongly that he can be fooled
at the plate.
g Veeck talked a good race during
the winter banquet circuit. once
predicting that Cleveland would
win by 10 games and that Steve
Gromek would win more games
than any other Indian pitcher.
Yet he never stopped making
trades and purchases.
Veeck acquired Early Wynn
from Washington and Frank Pap
ish from the White Sox to bolster
his pitching staff. He took on the
aging Mike fresh. a catcher. from
Chicago, and he broke up a cham
pionship infield when he shipped
Ed Robinson to the Mats for
Mickey Vernon. Weeks words
were brave, but his actions sug-
gested anxiety as much as ambi-
ton.
Maybe this year the Red Sox
won't get off to such a horrible
start and spot Cleveland 11l2
games. Maybe time and good
fortune will be running out for
Keltner. Boudreau, Gordon. ct al.

West Bids for Fights
Outdoors in Bout With
Bussey Tonight

Sonny Boy West, 19-year- old
District lightweight, makes bid
for a top spot on one of Match
maker Gabe MenendeZ's early out
door fight shows when he tangles
with Salmadge Bussey in tonight S
l0-round main event boxing
match at Turner's Arena. To-
nights program is the last OF the
indoor season at Turner's and the
fighters are anxious to make a
good showing so they'll be in de-
mand for the big money outdoor
engagements.
West should 60 pretty good out
doors, being rated among the out
standing lightweight boxers on
the National Boxing Association s
most recent list. He lost his last
fight however. dropping decision
to Doug Ratford. so he is particu-
larly eager to leave the indoor
arena as a winner.
Bussey is new to Washington
having done most of his battling
in Midwest rings. His record shows
he packs quite wallop with about
half his fights won by knockouts
His manager is Eddie Higgins. WHO
brought Small Montana, then the
flyweight champ. to Grifith Sta
dunn some years ago.
Among the fighters Bussey has
whipped are Vic Creelman. who
looked good in several fights in
Washington: Willie Cheatum and
Jess Underwood. He's been beaten
by Ike Williams and Cabey Lewis,
no disgrace in either case.
The semifeature match to-
night is a five rounder that
brings out Leon Daughtry, District
Golden Gloves welterweight champ
for his first professional start. He
goes against Roy Writ of Roanoke.
Four-round supporting matches
are Walter Hamm against Don
Weber, Ralph Gonzales against
Walter Dess. Don Krupin against
Herbie Stowe and Tunney Jones
against Henry Porter.

no waste land on the Remsburg

farming business. Earl is a smooth
operator who knows the value OF

his buying it.

Who ever heard Of the country
being q quiet place to live? There
are more noises on our 10 Vir-
ginia acres than you'll find on
many a residential street corner.
They are different though-the
kind of noises that rest you rather
than cause strain.
At night there is the call Of q
screech owl from the tree in the
back yard. Incidentally, it is the
first owl we have had in two years
in the country. 1t was pleasant
reminder of other days in the
mountains.
And there are the guineas that
sometimes sound their disturb
ance from the oak tree in the side
yard, and the harsh, hoarse
ilonk Of the geese in the dead OF
might. There comes the distant
barking of dogs, and at dawn the
rather startling voice Of our youne
rooster just learning to crow. He
