The Cleveland picture, with courageous President Bill Veeck as chief painter, is crammed with color, but also uncertainties. Too many "ifs" dot the Indian landscape to make possible a prediction that they will be a strong pen BOWLING SCHEDULE Public Square Alleys 6'45 D. Loan vs. Dana Beer; Spoco No.

But any team that has Bob Feller to fog 'em over and a keystone combination of Manager Lou Boudreau and ex-New York Yankee Joe Gordon to turn potential base-hits into double plays must be given a good chance of rising from the sixth place finish of last year to the first division. But unless Feller gets a lot more pitching help than last year, the Indian rise won't be stratospheric.

Last year with a .442 club, Feller won 26 and lost 15, had an earned run average of 2.15 and set a new strikeout mark of 348. Improvement is expected, however, from the other possible starters Red Embree, 8 and 12 last year; Steve Gromek, who slipped to 5 and 15 from 19-9 in 1945; and ex-Yankee Al Gettel, 6-7. Spot hurling help Is likely to come from Mel Harder, starting his 20th year with the Tribe, and Knuckleballer Roger Wolff, obtained from Washington for Outfielder George Case. Behind the plate, the Indians appear set with Jim Began No. 1 and the hardy perennial, Al Lopez, No.

Jack Conway is No. 1 utility, with Eddie Bockman, another ex-Yankees, also likely to stick. The probable starting outfield Is Seerey, left; Dale Mitchell, center; and Hank Edwards, right. Seerey, led the Indians with 26 circuit blows last year, but for the third straight season topped the a in strikeouts, with 107.

Hornsby has been trying to get Seerev to lay off bad pitches. Johnny Rucker, bought from the New York Giants, and Don Ross are leading reserve gardeners.
