The folding Cleveland Indians may be the subject of much surgery before next season, but the most certain project of all is an impending major operation on the salary of Outfielder Roy Weatherly. Presiding at the knife will be Dr. Alva Bradley, better known as i the Tribe's president. From the jway the doctor talked today the 'slash will be so deep that he may be in danger of losing his patient. "Weatherly has been much overpaid, and he's a different priced ball player next year," Bradley declared in firm tones.

The mite outfielder was one of the speediest fly chasers in the this season. He reported well above his former playing weight of 175 pounds and his fielding and batting skidded sadly. If the pay cut is too severe. Weatherly might decide not to play at all. He was a determined holdout the spring of 1940, when he inssted on a two-year contract he didn't get.

Little Roy generally is regarded as the Indians' choicest winter trading bit. Other Indians on the 1941 doubtful list include Hal Trosky, slugging first baseman xvhose frequent headaches even Dr. Bradley cannot cure, and Catcher Rollie Hemsley. The list doesn't stop there, and many new faces will pop up in the next spring training camp. "We're always building," Bradley declared, "and since the start of the year we've already spent S150.000 for new players."

Louis has to win one game more than the Dodgers down the home stretch because of the tie the Cards piayed with the New York Giants last week. This assignment is made all the more difficult because Brooklyn has seven games with the last-place Phillies and two with the seventh place Boston Braves while the Cardinals must tackle the Chicago Cubs five times and Pittsburgh four.

boasting "you can't beat a 'club like ours." Manager Leo Durocher of the cocky and confident Dodgers nominated his two ace hurlers for a doubleheader against the Phillies in their torrid National League pennant fight. "This is our opportunity to put St. Louis out of the race and we aren't going to muff it." declared Leo in picking 20-game winners Whitlow Wyatt and Kirby Higbe to oppose the last-place but always dangerous Phils in the start of a five-game series which might determine the flag chase. Back from what Durocher described as "the greatest western trip in 16 years." the Flatbush outfit spent yesterday in idleness while its first place margin was to a mere half game by the Card triumph over Chicago.

Gentry LT-Flynt Bo Some! -Crowder RlTE Pettlgrel By BOB SUFFKIDGE Tennessee's All-America Guard Naturally, I'd iike to say Tennessee was going to romp right off with that Southeastern Conference football championship again this fall. But that would not only be stretching my belief a iittle, it would also be a dirty trick on Coach John Barnhill and the boys. graduation takes nine outstanding letter-men, the armed forces take two more, and the Army calls the head coach away, the outlook just isn't good.

The of- fense is based on quick-opening holes and the backs have to be through them. To set up outside plays, one or more backs are forever booming into the ilne to pin a lineman or a backer-up where the operatives want them. The speed of the backs eliminates certain defenders.
