Ohio and had a brief opportunity of look ing over the sporting scene The boast that the Ohio city makes about being the sporting capital of the USA seems to be well founded On Saturday field basketball Softball golf swim ming hockey football practices baseball and soccer were all on the menu That field lacrosse item seems strange to see but apparently it is developing into quite a sport with Ohio State Western Reserve Cleveland All- Stars and several others having expert teams There is a junior hockey cir cuit as well as professional hock ey and of course on Sunday a full arena was readied for the Pittsburgh Hornets vs Cleveland Barons American final The fans are quite rabid and its easy to visualize an franchise doing well there Carded for the week was the American league opener between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox and no less than fans listed to attend The sports writers pick the Yankees to finish first with Cleveland second and the major ity of the critics go in that order as well but theyre keeping their fingers crossed and hope that Casey Stengel wont set a pro fessional baseball record of five straight pennants Bill Glynn onetime Toronto first baseman looks as if hell be carried by the club for most of the year and hes been doing some real long distance clouting Every player is as well known to the kids on the street or the entire city as if the place was a small town What a stadium Hank Grccn- and Bob Hope have The empty stadium was and span fresh with paint and pea green grass The same night Kid and his stable part ner Vejar were scheduled to meet capable opponents and a packed arena was guaranteed The Cleveland promoter has solved the television threat by putting on three or four thousand seats at per head so that a packed house is on hand most nights I saw and Vejar In action briefly at tho Old Angles Gym is in great and one of workout was to dance up close to the fans and do shadow boxing while he talk ed to them His punches came within a fraction of everybody but conveniently missed It takes real timing and I may say nerve to still as a target too expects to invade tho middleweight section Bobo ho says would be right down his alley but Randy might provide Vejar might well be suc cessor for the welterweight crown Is another favorite with the fans and noted another championship culled the Ameri can
