athletics Boss Picks Cleveland
West Palm Beach, Fla.—(U.P.) Jimmy Dykes today picked the Cleveland Indians as the club most likely to win the 1952 American League pennant.
"But," he warned, "Don't count the Yankees out.
"Thethey should do it on their pitching," he predicted, "plus the fact that fellows like shortstop Ray Boone and third baseman Al Rosen are going to get better."
"You never can count them out," he said, puffing on a big cigar and blowing smoke rings in the dugout of Wright Field, where his Philadelphia Athletics get in their spring training licks.
"They always come up with something and it usually turns out to be just what they need."
On pitching, he figured, the Indians shade the Yankees "and I hear they have another great one coming up in Sam Jones. If he comes through along with Bob Womon, Bobby Feller, Early Wynn and Mike Garcia they'll certainly have all the pitching any club needs."
He pointed out, however, that the Indians were weak in left handed pitching in a league where talented southpaws do very well. The only tried southpaw they have is Lou Brissie.
As for the Yankee pitching:
"But with five right handers like that," he added, "maybe they won't need a left hander."
"They have three great ones in Allie Reynolds, one of the best if not the best; Vic Raschi and Ed Lopat. And to me it looks like Tommy Morgan is going to be in their class.
"And there's nothing wrong with Bob Kuzava either."
Dykes said the reports he had heard on Cleveland's Jones, a Negro right hander who won 16 games while losing 13 with San Diego last season, were "excellent."
"From everything I hear he's
'good to be good'."
going to be real good," he added.
For a dark horse, Dykes likes two clubs. They are his own A's and the Detroit Tigers.

The Kemper sponsored meet has been an annual event for midwestern teams since the first meet in 1930. The matches were abolished during and after the war for five years.
Some of the schools competing in this year's matches are Iowa State University, Louis University, and the Universities of Missouri, Ohio, and Tennessee.
The advanced ROTC team from the University of Tennessee won the grand championship last year when they posted a score of 749. Monday, in a practice session, the KU AF-ROTC team beat this score with a 752. Both of these scores are out of a possible 800.
The AFROTC team will leave Lawrence for the meet in Booneville, Mo. Thursday, Sergeant Swartwood said.
