the Cleveland Indians biggest unsolved problem The Tribe came here a month ago needing added strength on the mound It breaks camp next Wednesday apparently in CHICAGO April 2 and rookies are handicapped by two new big league March 1 training restriction and the bonus regulation That conclusion was offered Friday by Pres Will Harridge of the American league after a tour of Florida camps The March 1 get-away Harridge said was displeasing to a majority of players He predicted an earlier date would be set for 1949 at a midseason meeting of baseball's executive council and player representatives of both major leagues The bonus rule invoked since February 1947 is regarded by most baseball men as a long-range boomerang to promising youngsters said Harridge A bonus player is one who gets a lump cash payment from a club as an inducement to sign a salary contract By DON BROOKS IDAHO FALLS Ida April Lou Garland the burly boss man of the Idaho Falls Russets predicted here Thursday that "the Pioneer league is entering upon its biggest and best season" Lou wasn't fooling even though It was that traditional day when people are supposed to fall for all the time-worn ga ga

Cleveland ace slow rounding into shap the same condition In addition Bob Feller is slow In rounding into shape Feller highest paid player in the game ran into spring training difficulties a year ago He ended the season with a 20-11 record This was the best in the American league but still far short of the predicted 30 to 35 victories Admittedly taking it easy Feller has pitched 14 Innings in four gamesthis spring He has yielded 13 hits and 10 runs for no wins and one loss Could Challenge Given an all-around pitching staff to compare with the rest of the team Cleveland would probably challenge the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox to the wire Rained out of seven games in California the Indians are a bit behind schedule This doesn't worry Mgr Lou Boudreau "I'm satisfied" he says "Feller is slow but he'll be all right" Boudreau win start cutting down his talent-laden squad this week end It's going to be a tough job Defensively the Cleveland infield is the best in the game The same starting quartet that set a new American league fielding mark of 982 is back intact: Ed Robinson on first Joe Gordon on second Boudreau at shortstop and Ken Keltner at third In the Background In addition Elbie Fletcher Johnny Berardino and Al Rosen make it even more dangerous And always looming in the background is the Tribe's new vice president Hank Greenberg The ex-American league home run king doesn't want to play But he is going to keep in in case There is a wild scramble for the starting outfield jobs Al lie Clark brilliant prospect from the Yanks Walt Judnich from the St Louis Browns and Dale Mitchell may eventually get the call To do so they will have to outfield and outhit some classy competition Larry Doby first Negro player to make the American league is impressive Streamlined Pat Seerey is hitting consistently Hank Edwards Thurman Tucker encl-Hal Peck are being carefully watched Waived or Sold Under it players who sign for a bonus must be sitting on the bench of the' major league club which signed them after one year or be waived or sold Optioning of bonus players is banned and they are subject to draft all of their careers That means only one year of minor league seasoning for a bonus player" Harridge explained "and most youngsters need more than that to make the major league grade" The March 1 starting date resulted from a demand by players for a 45-day limitation on training or a salary beyond that period "Pitchers especially feel that March 1 is too late to begin work" said Harridge "It long was customary for batterymen to move into camp well ahead of the rest of the squad Everybody concerned now realizes that this was a necessity more than a tradition" Harridge Cagey Harridge was typically cagey in discussing his league's pennant contenders Five teams he said will make the American scramble "close and interesting" The three he ommitted were the Browns White Sox and Senators "The Yankees I believe are in better shape than last year" he commented "The Red Sox' big question is pitching the Tigers have pitching but ther power is doubtful Connie Mack has a young upcoming Philadelphia club and the Indians have been Yank Catcher Suffers Hurt 'Second the new schedule allows Ibr shorter home stands which will naintain fan interest For Instance the longest borne smnd the Russets have this year wil be a nine-day stretch Last year they bad several of 12 days ard once had even a longer stretch Interrupted only by a three-day down to Pocatello "People lose Interest along ward the tag-end of a long draivnout home stand" Lou opined "Up in this country particularly the average bar-eball fan has got other things he wants to do like going fishing These shorter stands are going to build up attendance through the year" Hit New High Lou has every reason to be pleasell about home prospects for the Rcssets this year Baseball interest has hit a new high here and everyone from the mayor right on down is anxiously awaiting the first "play ball" order on April 27 when the Great Falls Electrics square off In their first game Garland attributes the increased Interest to the new Russet affiliation with the Brooklyn Dodger baseball organization The day we made that announcement you could tell the difference Art Koster the clubs genial secretary-treasurer chimed in "Peo2le who never saw a professional ball game before have told me they are coming out this year" NEW YORK April 2 luck seems to like John Sherman Lollar Every time he appears set to go places the old injury bugaboo grabs him boo grabs him for selling the most tickets the club is awarding a free plane trip to Great Falls for the all-star game on July 28 And the winner will get not only his transportation and pasteboards to the all-star tilt but $eoch in
