For Indian
Starting Role
BY ED coRRIcAN
Associated Press Sports Writer

Almost two decades ago-1936 to
be exact "a powerful. fuzzy
checked youngster strobe into the
spring training camp of the Cleve-
O'Nell liked what he saw and that
started Bob Feller's career.
Today, 249 victories later. Teller,
the oldest major Lacquer in point OF
service, is fighting for starting
job. He'll have a job, all right, but
at the moment he doesn't figure as
one of the Big Four.
The onetime fireballer, who
never did spend day in the
minors, is hopeful that at IS he
can help the Indians break the
New York Yankees stranglehold
on the American League pennant,
81 hope l can win a batch this
year." he said. "But it won't be
like 1916. when I pitched 371 inn
ingS and struck out 348. l think
l worked SO complete games that
year. I've never kept track of my
relief record, but I've never been
much of a hand at it."
The best guess is that Manager
Al Lopez will spot Teller wher.
ever he can. If Rapid Robert
doesn't want to do bullpen duty
he probably won't be forced to.
The cutting he took during his
three-inning stint against the New
York Giants in Tuscon, Ariz., yes.
terday should not cause Lopez toe
much concern. The Giants won the
ball game 1876 and slugged Fellel
for eight hits and a half-dozen
runs. But it was Bob's first outins
and veterans sometimes are slow
to warm up.
Hal Newhcuser, another old
timer, is trying to make a come
back with the Indians and he was
equally unimpressive. He gave ur
10 hits and another six runs. New.
houser is not under contract.
Speaking of oil folks, Sal Maglie
the Giants 37-year-old right-hand
Ell who has been plagued by assert
ed ills for the last two seasons
went four innings and was tapped
for only two hits. Manager Lee
Durocher was enthused over the
performance.
81 hadn't seen Sal look 50 good
all last year." he gushed.
The surprising Baltimore Orioles
won their ninth victory in 10 starts
by downing the San Diego Padres
of the Pacific Coast League 1O-4

Miss Sibley, a secretary from
Burlington, Mo-, decided she
spent too much time indoors,
even though she rode a
bicycle to work and back. She
had an idea: Why not start
a bike racing club? There
had been several such clubs,
but all had faded for lack of
members.

This year in poetry is marked by
the appearance of two impressive
collections of verse by major
writer's: Wallace Stevens and E. E.
Cummings.
"The Collected Poems of Wallace
Stevens" (Alfred A. Knopf) brings
together the harvest of 80 years of
Mr.. Stevens writing. It includes
all his previous books and is pub
lished in celebration of his 18th
birthday anniversary. 1t is q
splendid testament to his role in
American poetry.
Mr.. Stevens is difficult poet in
spite of the fact that, in form, he is
a conventional one. He has great
originality of outlook. He COM
presses his thoughts into tightly
woven texture of language He gives
salient details rather than wide
pictures. He is suggestive rather
than descriptive. Yet he stays in
the center of what he is saying.
He himself is participating and he
demands that the reader particle
pate, too. Sometimes this is not
easy; one must read and reread
his poems, and it is then that they
come alive, that they mean more,
not less. than they say:
To sag more than human things
tOith human voice,
That cannot be: to say human
things NTH more
Than human DOice, that also
cannot be:
To speak humanity from the

OF human things, that is the
Gcutest speech.
