 Luscious Guke) Easter, Cleye- lands celebrated six-foot-four, 240- pound rookie, may furnish the h. dians with the necessary punch for another American League pennant. The 28-year-old St. Louis Negro is said to be able to hit a baseball as far-or further-than anybody in the major leagues.
 Playing in 80 games for San Diega of the Pacific Coast League last season, Easter hit 363 and was lead ing the league in home runs with 25.
 The huge infielder- -outfielder Che prefers first base) might have swept all hitting honors in the PCL had he stayed With San Diego. However Cleveland. looking forward to the 1850 season, recalled Easter in June to undergo knee operation.
 Easter seems to have regained his batting eye again this spring though, he clouted two home runs yesterday to help Cleveland gain q 13-12 decision over the Chicago Cubs.
 The contest also raised the fa- miliar question: How far back has Bob Teller gone?
 Other Games
 The once-mighty Indian ace working the first six innings, was cuffed for the Cubs 12 runs. Teller gave up IA hits, walked five and struck out two.
 Meanwhile, the New York Yankees dealt the St. Louis Cardinals their four straight setback, 8-2 E. Tom my Byrne pitched seven scoreless innings for the world champions Detroit's Tigers, with George Kell driving in four runs, downeo the Boston Red Sox, 6-3 . Ellis Kinder. Boston Ace, was blasted for four rGfis fin tie fifth inning.
 At Tampa, Fla, lefty Warren Spahn's smart seven-inning stint helped the Boston Braves shade Gin cinnati, 7-6 Spahn, Boston : 20-game winner last year, held the Reds to a pair of runs . Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics util- ized an eight-run sixth inning to sink the Brooklyn Dodgers, 9-1.
 Eddie Stewart hit three singles and a triple to lead Washington to a 12 to 3 victory over Louisville of the American Association.

BOOSTED MINE AID
 BILL HITS SENATE

WASHINGTON, May 27 - R A new metal mine aid bill was intro duced yesterday by Senator Me- Carran (D-NevD.
 It follows, in many respects, the bill now before the House rules committee, but includes features of an earlier McCarran bill to devote part of tariff fees to support dom- sstic mines.
 The McCarran bill would author ize the Secretary of the Interior to spend. S45,000,0o0 in 1851 and S67 100000 in each of the next three years for conservation of present mines and exploration for new mineral and metal ore bodies.
 The House bill would allow $30,- 100000 for 1851 and $45 100000 an- nually for the next three years.
 In addition, the McCarran bill would earmark import revenues as follows for aid to domestic pro- ducers: Manganese, one-fourth cent on each pound imported; anti mony, one cent pound; mercury, 25 cents pound and tungsten, 38 cents a pound.
 The revenues so set aside would be distributed to producers of each of these minerals on the basis of the proportion each contributed to the total domestic production.
