Bob Feller To Test Pitching Arm After Four Years In Navy Uniform Chicago, Feb. 21 (U.R) Base ball'! erstwhile "wonder boy," Bob Feller of the Cleveland In dians heads south tonight to take part in his first spring training in five seasons and like a million diamond fans he has a big ques- Soups, salads, entrees gain zest from this true celery flavor.

Pitched I Games Feller was discharged from service in time to pitch eight games late last season, but he doesn't regard that "trial" as of sufficient length to provide a real answer as to the affects his long absence may have had on hit pitching. , "Whether I'm as fast as ever is one of the things I think spring training is going to de termine," Bob said in a frank evaluation of himself, "I believe I am, but then we'll see. Even if I am as fast as ever maybe I won't look it to those on the bench or in the grandstand for I've got a lot better control than I had when I broke in." Strikeout King It was Feller's speed that en abled him to lead the American league in strikeouts for four con secutive seasons from 1938 un til he departed for the navy. Three of those years he likewise walked more men than any oth er nurler in the league and speed coupled with wildness kept most sluggers from taking a "toe hold" when Rapid Robert was working. Feller struck out 1007 batters in his last four seasons, but to day he tells you he's not partic ularly interested in perpetuating the record. The Indian star now is 26 years old. He is down to his playing weight of 185 pounds.

The strike protesting the Los Angeles Turf Club's plant to de duct money from the winning purses to pay grooms and stable boys, was scheduled for Friday. The owners, who claim to rep resent 75 per cent of the owners at the track, rebelled after a meeting late yesterday with Loyd Wright, chairman of the state racing board. They claimed that the strike would close down the huge rac ing plant by Saturday, although the Turf Club said it would go ahead with plans for the $100 000 derby, richest horse race so far this season.
