I'm a 34-year-old pro of |, 500 games, but
it took me as long to see the light. For
years the Yanks simply worried me into
playing poorly. even had nightmares
about the Yankees. After they took three
straight World Series paychecks from the
! indians with league victories in l95l-52-53,
dreamed one night that my arm broke off
as pitched. 1t went sailing to home plate.

Where had I been in the nightmare?

But ball team is like family; an atti-

Last July, a typical Yankee rally had me in
trouble in the ninth inning. Our catcher,
Jim Hogan, walked out to the pitching box.

tenseness went out of me. retired the side
for one of my four Yankee wins lin six
starts) last season. Analyzing it later,
realized what had beaten me before: the
Yankee myth and myself. Hitters like
Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Hank Bauer
and Trv Noren, of New York, are mean
men with the lumber yet only human.
Yankee propaganda made them supermen,
and baseball swallowed it. But never again.
The most solid comfort the Indians take
into this season is the knowledge that the
Bombers blew plenty of games in the late
innings last year. The very pressure they're
famous for exerting boomeranged on them.
Cleveland, on the other hand, came from
behind to win 81 of III games - which
should quiet any skeptic who says we took
the pennant on fiuke.
Yankee Spirit Gene?
/ HIS new, nuts-to-the-Y Yankees attitude is
far from the whole story. Decay through
too much success has set in. Aside from
two possibly great young pitchers, Bob
Turiey and Bob Grim, the new talent isn't
there. And among the vets. the old fiery
spirit has dwindled.
In short, today they can be outhustled.
Along with other factors, it adds up to
wide-open dogfght this season. Here's how
I'm guessing the race will end:
Winser: Cleveland 10y three or four games)
Second: Chicago White Sox or Yankees

and Clint Courtney, have defensive edge
on the Yanks and may well drop them to

didn't have chance Of checking New

Larry out of the dumps.
But, very. generously, the Yanks them
selves supplied the answer. In an early
season game, their dugout hecklers gave

player himself, writes: n lot of people said
il was just luck when the Indians beat the
Yankees in the american League peHn0nf
race last year. Can Cleveland beat New
York again this season.
We took fJis question TO Bob Lemon. star
Of the Indians and highesf-paid pitcher
in baseball. Here's his answer 80.
ANSWER: Naturally, | wouldn't pick
against the Indians - even if believed we
weren't pennant team again. But it isn't
difficult to be both frank and truthful this
season. I'm sure we'll whip the Yankees
and, what's more. we'll do it so definitely
that those critics who called us lucky" last
season will have to pull in their necks.
It's funny, but few people seemed to grasp
the fact that Cleveland rang up II wins
last year. an all-time American League rec
ord. Most experts called it fluke. Now
they're rushing to predict another title -
the sixth in seven seasons for the Bomb
ers. II took US all those years as runners-up
to break the New York monopoly. Then,
partly because we lost the 1854 World
Series to the Giants. the cry started, ''Cleve-
land was lucky! They can't do it again."
Look at it our way. We can't help feeling
somewhat insulted. That's reason No.
why we'll hang it on Casey Stengel's boys
a second straight year. We have an extra
incentive.
A Good Imdiam Ball Pea
ANOTHER reason is what ballplayers call a
stopper" In baseball today the biggest
asset you can have is a cool. efficient relief
pitcher. The Yankees lost their only top
stopper, Allie Reynolds, to retirement the
past winter, while the Indians have flock

years that the Yanks beat you on their
reputation. There was truth to it. The
whole league developed Yankeephobia, or
ajittery reaction to the pin-striped uniforms
once worn by Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig and
Joe DiMaggio.
I'm an ex-Yankeephobe myself, dating
back to l946 and the first Yankee great

the middle of Lake Erie retrieved the ball.
For a long time, if the Yanks didn't beat
you with their name, they did it with the
needle. 1t got to the point where baseball
believed they carried some magic whammy.
But in killing the jinx last season, the
Indians discovered secret that now is COM
mon property and should bring on the
games biggest shake-up. A lot of veteran
players I've talked to feel that the Yanks may
not even finish second this year.
The secret simply is that the legend Of
inyincibility going back to Ruth no longer
applies. All Cleveland had to do to win was
to quit thinking Of them. I'll give you an
example:
