NEW YORK (UP) The Cleve
land Indians are healthy, happy,
ana hat, and Manager Al Lope
is convinced they are now malting
their "bie pennant push."
"For the first time all season,
we don't have any Injuries except
for Bob Lemon," said Lopez with
a wide grin. "And 1 expect that
Lemon will be available for duty
again early next week. He's been
pitching batting practice and says
he feels good."

kee Stadium Thursday was their
11th triumph in the last 15 games;
and It left them a mere two per
SICKNESS cemase points out of first place.
"Yes, at long last I think we're
ready," admitted Manager Lopez.
"We sure had our share of injuries
and sicknesses, though and im
portant fellas, too, like Lemon, Vic
Werlz, Early Wynn, and Al Rosen.
Except for Lemon, they are all
better now."
Lemon, who pulled a muscle in
his hip, has not started a game
since July 18th. With 12 victories
up to that point, the injury has
all but ended nis chances lor his
seventh 20-viclory season in the
last eight years.
But, in the meantime, the In
dians' Ditcnuie stall has been
strengthened by the addition of Sal
Maglie. who was purchased from
the New York Giants. Maglie is
slated to make his lust start for
the Indians tonight at Washington,
and Lopez is confident swarthy Sal
will be a winner.
"We'll Just have to work with
him to find out how he can do
us the most good," explained Lo
pez. "He'll help us."
Another factor that makes Lopez
think the Indians are ready to roll
is the fact that Al Rosen is snow
ing signs of regaining his batting
eye.
ANEMIC AVERAGE
The supposedly slugging third
baseman has an anemic .246 bat
ting average, and his 16 homers
and 62 runs baited in are sub-par
for him. But Thursday gray-haired
Al collected four hits in four at-
bals aRainst the Yankees, the first
time he's had more than two nits
in anv one game this season.
"Al has been looking good again,
meeting the ball sharp and getting
his hits," said Lopez. "If he is
ready to start hitting the way we
all know Rosen should hit, then
we will be much better off.
"Yes, I think now we are in
shape to make that big push," said
I,opez. "We've got a good chance
now."

Vic Seixas, a regular on the Unit
ed States Davis Cup team, and
Eddie Moylan. who would like 10
make the squad, were tavorea to
gain the semifinal round today in
the Eastern Grass Courts tennis
championships.
Seixas of Philadelphia was pitted
against Sam Giammalva of Hous
ton Tex., while Moylan of Tren
ton, N.J., played Kurt Nfelsen of
Denmark.
Billy Talbeit, the non-nlaying
captain of the U.S. Davis Cup
team, already has indicated he will
depend on Seixas and Tony Tra
bert for this year's defense of the
Cup, but probably won't name his
No. 3 player until the last moment.
Moyland reported is being con
sidered lor the team, but feels he
must win this tournament to re
main in the running. The New Jer
sey veteran won the Meadow Club
chamnionship last weekend when
Talbert defaulted in the fifth set
of the finals because of a sore
back.
Ham Richardson of Baton

Cup candidate, and Gil Shea of

semifinals Thursday. Richardson
