guess Bucky wouldn't like it,"
The 28-year-old outf1elder Is
no stranger among the Mats. He's
well acquainted with the Cuban
contingent as the result of play
ing two years in the Cuban VIM
tier League. II played with Con-
Isuegra and Sanchez" Archie ex-
Iplained. land I played against
Marrero. Moreno and Campos. I
picked up enough Spanish to kid
'em along.
Marrero 'WOnderful Guy"
"That Marrero is a wonderful
little guy. He doesn't do it now,
but when I played against him he
talked to the hitters. There was
Ia sign in centerfield-9 miles out
in centerfield-and if you hit it
you got $500. One night I was
batting against Marrero-his team
had a big lead-and he told me
he was going to give me a fast
one down the middle so I could
hit the sign. He wanted $3.50 if
I did. He was kidding, of course.
He wouldn't give his grandfather
"a fat pitch"
It was Lefty O'Doul, manag-
ing San Francisco, who changed
Archie'S batting style. II used to
try to be a power hitter" Wilson
said. but O'Doul drilled it into
me that I didn't have the build
for it. He suggested that I pull
my feet together. Well, when
you do that you feel foolish if you
don't crouch a bit. so I crouched.
II only spent a couple of weeks
under O'Doul last year, but one
night I tried his suggestion, got
"a line drive hit and said to my
self. This is for me- Lefty had
me pegged right"

Lopez uncoyers
Formula Just
Beat Yankees
indians Twin Victory
In New York Boosts
Pennunt Expectations
BY the Associated Press

~ WV S>SSoSso'Uo TVCSS
AL Lopez, genial manager of the
Indians. thinks he finally has
found the formula for bringing
the American League pennant to
Cleveland.
"It's simple" he confided after
yesterdays 7-2 victory over New
York. "Just beat those Yankees,
that's ALL"
A happy grin spread over
Lopezs swarthy face. Nov, why
didn't I think of that last year?"
he added facetiously.
There was good reason for
Lopez's jubilation. His Indians
had just whipped the Yankees at
Yankee Stadium for the second
time in less than "a hours. That's
something they couldn't do during
the entire 1851 season when they
managed to win just one out of II
at the Yankees home park.
Expects to Win Pennant.
II really believe we will win the
pennant this year." Lopez said.
mot only because we proved we
could beat the Yankees in their
own backyard, but because we've
been winning although we haven't
had all the regulars together since
the first week of the season. At
one time or another we've had
four regulars out of the lineup.
First it was Luke Easter, and then
Dale Mitchell and now both Larry
Dolby and Jim Hogan are out with
injuries.
ut stands to reason that we
ought to be better when we get
back to full strength"
Lopez took exception to a re-
cent article calling the Indians
mound corps four-man pitching
staff.
Have 6 Starters, He Says.
"Four-man heck" he said.
We've got at least six starters
and maybe seven. What about
Steve Gromek, Sam Jones and
Bob Chakales? They'd be starters
on any team and they're starters
on the Indians. It's just that so
far we've had little need of them.
What with rain and off days we
haven't had to push our pitchers
too much"
Meanwhile, the Yankees still
We're shaking their heads over the
strange sight of two straight
Cleveland wins at Yankee Sta
dium. Mike Garcia got home with
the second victory over the Yanks
although nicked for IL hits.
For the fifth straight time, Vic
Raschi failed to go the route,
yielding eight hits and five runs to
Cleveland before retiring at the
end of the fifth. Al Rosen hit his
eighth homer, boosting his leading
|RBI total to 10. Easter and
Mitchell hit back to back doubles
in the 11-hit attack on Raschi and
