PAGE FOUR SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL-NEWS, SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA Tuesday, April 4, 1941 Pretty Swimmer Indians Don't Look Like Best In League, But May Surprise Dopesters With Strong Finish MM' fj V1 best combinations in the league. With Buddy Rosar still on his war job, Cleveland's catching problem is serious. The only 4-F is Jim McDonnell, a slightly-built receiver who may find it too punishing behind ths bat in the majors. Russ Lyon, a former semi-pro, and James Devlin from the Wilkes-Barre club both face the draft. Outfielders are stacked a little thin around the Cleveland spring training camp, and may get more sparse before long.

Roy Cullcn-bine, .289 hitter for the Indians last year, and Rookie Cliff Mapes are potential soldiers. Jeff Heath is a holdout. Oris Hockett, Paul O'Dea and Pat Seerey are 4-F's. Six rejectees from military service form the beginnings of a fair pitching staff, Steve Gromek (who also plays infield), Al Smith. Mike Naymick.

and Rookies El Klieman, Harold Kleine and Ambrose Palica. Joe Heving, the trust relief hurler, is overage. By Bob Meyer United Pren Staff Correspondent Chicago, April 4 Besieged by holdout trouble, draft inroads and players remaining in war plants, the "always a bridesmaid" Cleveland Indians still have hopes this season of catching the bridal bouquet thrown by the disintegrated New York Yankees and capturing their first pennant since 1920. Manager I.ou Boudreau be- lieves the Chicago White Sox is the "team to beat." and although he is not predicting that Cleveland ill finish on top as he forecast last season, he can see a first division spot for the Indians. Mickey Rocco, first baseman, and Jimmy Grant, second baseman, both draft rejectees, give the Indians a fair start on fielding a creditable infield.

If Boudreau can stick around for a time at shotstop and Ken Keltner can remain on third base, it figures to be one of the Bowling Crucial Tonight Needing only one win to cinch the 1944 high handicap 850 league bowling championship, the Harris Bros, bowlers meet the Louvre Bar five tonight in the feature match of the final league competition at the local bowl. Harris' have a two-game lead en the Louvre going into the final night's play. To win the championship, the Louvre would have to take all three games in the match while the leaders need to win only one game. Harris will be a three to one favorite. Bowling for the leaders will be Harry Rodriguez, highest handicap bowler in the league; Tony Day, Walt Deibler, Earl Blain and Andy Miller.

Blain is the youngest bowler in the league and has had an excellent record this year in ths high handicap play. The Louvre will be led by Bert Ogle and Doug McNeill along with Harry Smith, Chub Kestcr and Gordon Sinclair. In other league matches the De Marcos and Melvins tangle in the battle for third place in the league while the County Bank meets Wielands in the other match. Both the bank and Wielands are out of the league race, with the Louvre the only team that can defeat the leaders. Play will start at 7:30 p.

m. at the local bowl. Correspondent Cited By The Marine Corps By United Preu Pearl Harbor. April 4. The U.

S. marine corps today honored for "brave and efficient service under extraordinary conditions of combat," Richard W. Johnson, United Press war correspondent who went ashore with them in the assault on Tarawa last November and was the first correspondent to file a dispatch from the beachhead. Maj. Gen.

Julian C. Smith, commander of the 2nd marine division issued the citation, which was presented to Johnston yesterday by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet. Two officers who saw Johnston head for the beach with a portable typewriter strapped to his back Lt. Gen.

Holland M. Smith, commanding general of the- Fifth amphibious corps, and Vice-Admiral John N. Towers, deputy commander of the Pacific fleet endorsed the citation. Johnston was in one of the Hig-gins boats which hung on a coral reef off shore and had to wade ashore with marines falling all around him under murderous ma-chinegun fire. He wrote and filed under fire the first dispatch on the battle which began: "The U.

S. marines have won Tarawa but they have paid the stiffest price id human life per square yard that ever was exacted in the history of the corps." Negro Vote South In Rage Over Decision By John L. Cutter United Preu Staff Correspondent Washington, April 4. The supreme court ruling that negroes may vote in state primary elections raised the possibility today that some southern states may abandon the primary and return to the convention method of selecting political candidates. The prospect of such action was seen by at least two southern senators, one of whom declared flatly that any negro attempting to attend a Democratic convention in the south "will be thrown out by the seat of his pants." Sen.

John H. Overton, mentioned the possibility of abandoning primaries and predicted at the same, time that southern reaction to the court ruling would be adverse to a fourth term for President Roosevelt. "The south at all costs will mdin tain the rule of white supremacy," Overton said. "The negro can be kept from the polls by educational tests. This decision will add greatly to the difficulties of advocates of a fourth term in securing the support of the south." Southerners generally denounced the decision, in which the high court rules that when primaries become part of the machinery for choosing state or national officials, a negro has a constitutional right to vote.

The case arose in Texas where, as in other southern states, the Democratic primary usually decides the winner of the general election. Southerners in congress predicted their states would find some other way, such as conventions or educational tests, to prevent negroes from participating in their primaries. "I have an abiding faith that the negroes aren't going to vote in the white man's Democratic primal said Rep. Nat Tatton, "Our Democratic people in Texas will find some way to work out a Democratic primary for white folks. The negroes don't want to vote in an election that is not for them."

The wind was blowing gently, the sun was fighting its way out of the clouds; it was a day for strong men and barking dogs. On the eighth tee, three men were surveying the course.

Finally the leader approached the tee. With a steady hand and wrist as strong as iron, he put his wooden tee into the turf. On it he placed a special pre-war ball direct from moth balls. He turned to his friends, motioned for quiet, and stood silently addressing the ball. (It was a period of reverence.) Calmly he placed his feet in ths correct position and with his favorite iron, he took a practice swing.

The time was right. A north by northeast by west wind came from the north. He changed his position in order to allow for the wind. The caddy squashed a dandelion 16 feet, three inches from the eighth green. All was set.

Keeping his eye on the ball, he allowed the club to swing back in a smooth, soft motion, then swish-crack and the shot was made.
