THE WEEK IN
RECORDS
By Albert Anderson

Basic, Williams Top Jazz Fare
Sampling three big offerings by
the great Count Basic, wailing Joe
Williams and Louis Bellson and his
orchestra is, to my mind, a fine
way to get back into the swing of
things after a short vacation from
the review column.
First off, let's sample the Count
and his men.
THE LEGEND: - Roulette
LIP featuring Count Basic and
THE Swingingest Band in all the
Land" Tunes: ''The Trot," Easy
Money" "Amoroso," Coin On"
Side 2: 'The Swizzle," "The Le-
gend," who's Blue?," Turn
about" Personnel: Basic, piano;
Smoky Young, Sonny Cohn, Thad
Jones, Al Aaron, trumpets; Henry
Coker, Quentin Jackson, Benny
Powell, trombones; Frank Wess,
Benny Carter, alto saxophones;
Frank Foster, Budd Johnson, tenor
saxophones; Charlie Fowlkes, bar
itone saxophone; Sam Herman,
guitar; Eddie Jones, bass; Sonny
Payne, drums.
Count Basic and Benny Carter
have done it again. Whereas their
Kansas City Suite" fashioned to-
gether, was big hit, this LIP is
bound to bring them new honors
A swinging set in the Basic
tradition, the music, however, was
brilliantly written by Carter to re-
fleet the talents of both maestros
The record covers a whole
scale of wonderful music, includ-
ing instrumental, blues and Latin
offerings and is highlighted by
rich, ebullient solos The top
tunes is '"Turnabout," an up-tempo
entry featuring tenor saxmen
Frank Foster and Budd Johnson
in exciting solos Every tune
is delightful, however, as the mu-
sicians are themselves outstanding
. Record fans cannot afford to
miss this one IT'S A SOLID
SENDER.
"A SWINGIN NIGHT AT Bird
LAND: - Roulette LIP featuring
singer Joe Williams. Tunes: Sep
tember in the RAIN" Come Back
Baby" Five O'clock in the Morn
ing" "By the River st. Marie" !"
Side 2: This Can't Be Love-"
Teach Me Tonight" "Well AL
right" IT Was Telling Her About
You" Have You Met Miss
Jones, ?" ''Well Oh Well" Uniden-
titled musical group.
Williams scores perhaps his big
gest hit on record since leaving the
Count Basic orchestra Two
factors aided the effectiveness Of
this disc; the full vigor of Joe's
wailing - of the blues and ballads
through the authenti-
city Of on-the-spot recording, and
the wonderful acoustical benefit
Of the Birdland decor, the jazz spa
often referred to as the "jabb
corner of the world" q. The over
all result is a pleasant session Of
entertainment provided by VIII
hams with solid musical backing
i. How the live audience must
have loved this show! O.. With
out question, Joe's top effort

Hawkins will be felt sorely by the
Tribe. But for Mcdowell this may
shorten the wide gap between pit
ching in the minors or working
for the parent company. He is GER
tain, if the improvement he has
displayed in two seasons continues,
that he will be in a Cleveland var
sity uniform on Opening day. He
is just as sure that he can win in
the major league, too.
HurIer Confident
Although there more experienced
pitchers in the Pacific Coast
League, Mcdowell believes that
there was nobody faster than he.
1--WE had a lot of former major
leaguers on the various rosters, "
says Sam, land I really didn't
have too much trouble with them.
This is one reason why I feel sure
I can pitch for the Indians"
Mcdowell isn't alone in this
thought. Cleveland's Player Per-
sonnel Director, Walter "Hoot'
Evers, who signed the Pittsburgh
product after Sam made his de-
cision, is certain he is destined for
a vital role in the future of the
Indians. He has looked very
good" Evers said, land we are
hoping he continues to look that
good"
Studies During Off Season
And looking is becoming more
important to Mcdowell. His i'm.
mediate future is, of course, base.
ball. But the young pitcher is look
ing ahead to the era after baseball
and he's preparing for it by study
ing radio and television broadcast
ing. He spends part of the off-sea,
son doing interviews for a home
town radio station and continues
his classroom television studies
through a correspondence course.
II used to think that baseball
writer's had an easy time when
they interviewed players, but ]
learned in a hurry that interview
ing is a skill that comes from
training and experience" said Sam.
Although his interviews have been
confined to working with several
professional, college and high
school athletes, McDowell's aspir-
ations are not for sportscasting
only. Keenly aware of the prob
lens of the world as well as
with the problems of making the
majors - McDowell's aim is on
the general broadcasting field, in
cluding world news broadcasting.
Cleveland baseball fans are con-
cerned with news, too, but high on
the list of news items will be the
progress made by young Sam Nc
Dowell.

Cleveland Has Hot
Prospect In Tan
Pifchinq Sfor

Cleveland, o. (ANP) - Not
since the heralding of Herb Score
at Tucson in 1855 has a rookie
been subjected to more advance
publicity regarding his talent and
Importance to a team than that
directed toward Sam Mcdowell.
youthful lefthander with the Cleve-
land Indians.
The 19-year old hurler, who has
only two years of professional
baseball experience behind him, is
expected to be one of the brightest
hopes in the Tribes current and
long-range plans. He earned his
shot for a starting role on the eff
fort he displayed in the Pacific
Coast League during the 1861
campaign.
Pitched ScOreless Game In Majors
Mcdowell, pitching for the last
place Salt Lake City Bees, won
13 games and lost 10 while post
ing a 4.42 earned run average.
Additionally, the former Pitts
burgh high school star pitched
six innings for the Indians in a
game against Minnesota late in
the season and did not allow a
run as he struck out five Twins.
A pair of cracked ribs, suffered
when he fell on the mound, forced
him to leave the game and miss an
opportunity to win his first major
league test.
But the confident teen-ager, who
has overcome a quick temper that
frequently put him in hot water
with his teammates, will get every
opportunity this season to start
winning major league games. Gabe
Paul, General Manager of the In
dians, already has stated that he
would like to see Sam in the ma
iors this year. And Paul has COM
plete support from Mcdowell on
this wish.
Wanted To Test Mantle, Maris
Late last season, when the Tribe
was in New York for its last SER
les against the Yankees, Paul was
hopeful that the pitching protege
would be free from the Coast
league and get the chance to throw
against the Bombers. But the Bees
schedule had not been completed
and Mcdowell didn't get the
chance he says he wanted so much
to pitch to Roger Maris and
Mickey Mantle.
That opportunity. along with the
task of facing all Of the major
leaguers, may come this year If
the towering rookie is able to make
the Indian staff. The loss to mil

know the value amateur boxing
has been to the youth program.
Our motto: Amateur boxing when
properly supervised should take its
rightful place with the other recog-
nized sports in the greatly needed
Nation Physical Fitness Program. "
We are conducting boxing clinics
to teach better techniques to the
boxers, increased our medical staff
for better medical care, developed
and introduced better protective
equipment (such as the boxing
gloves, headgear, mouth piece, foul
proof cup etc., encourage the
boxers to continue their schooling
by giving scholarships for both
colleges and trade schools. We
have introduced boxing to all state
and county penal institutions as a
recreation and a pressure outlet.
The program is run by people
who have benefited from boxing
and are working to give others the
same opportunity. BY this I mean
all the officials, such as judges,
referees, coaches, directors, etc,
are all former Golden Glovers.
We feel that our past record in
amateur boxing shows we have
something of value to offer the
