Lopez Confident Indians Aim For Flag On Spring Trip
Manager Al Lopez leads the Cleveland Indians from Tucson to Oklahoma City for a weekend series with the New York Giants. He says the team is capable of winning it and cites new players Philley and Houtteman as big differences. Hal Naragon’s improvement at catcher and potential 280 to 300 batting from one of three first basemen are highlighted as key factors. Greenberg’s talks hint at a big trade to boost chances as the cross country tour continues ahead of the April 13 season opener.
