BY WHITNEY MARTIN Indians to win the American League pennant, a selection which probably will come as quite a surprise to the Indians,j who will look around to see if we are talking, about somebody else, then blurt incredulously: "Who, mez In fact, the selection is quite m surprise to us, as just the other V' 1 1 'L"sday we privately 'picked the Yan kees. However, it ivras one of those flash picks, or guesses, much as you'd blurt "four clock" if some ody asked you the time and you wkihM H4m , awn t botner about looking, although it might be only half past two. We've, thought a lot about the Yankees since, and even read n ran, uranam s - ime dook on them to see if there might be some reason . we could pick them again, but no dice. Frank covers everything bat the 1943 season, and although . he cites. Joe McCarthy's renins as a builder, we think the .;' building Job he faces this year is toe much even for him. . - The choice of Cleveland is made with a full knowledge of the team's shortcomings, and the fact it has failed to win before when it was a better team. However, the other teams were better then than they are now, too, and what ever club" wins the pennant won't be as good as pennant winners of the past It will just be the best horse in a plater race. Well string along with De troit for third place, largely on the Titer pitching staff, and for fourth well take the Browns, who surprised even the Browns by finishing third last year. For the second division we like the Red Sox, White Sox, Senators and Athletics to finish in that or der. The Red Sox, second the past two years, have been hit hard by the war, and although their pitching has been on the upgrade, their outfield looks like yester day's -gardenia. The ' outfielders are exhibit "A of the manpower 'shortage, V ' We pick' the White Sex for sixth chiefly because they are boond to bo better than the Senators! and Athletics. They finished sixth last year for practically the same reasons. Legal Notice NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that h nnarcnmjt XirWrVTt W EG AN, Executor of the Estate of ALBERT J.
