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-

tion he expects the Florida
drills to answer:
"Did four years In the navy
and away from baseball chores
take away any of the blinding
speed that helped catapult him
from obscurity into Major league
stardom?"
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.

Arcadia, Calif., Feb. 21 U.R)
Entry boxes at Santa Anita race
track were open today and the
management promised a full
schedule of races despite a strike
by the California Thorough-Bred
Owners and Trainers Assn.,
which threatened Saturday's
$100,000 Santa Anita derby.
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.
Wright, in turn, threatened to
