Hv Hill Hum ci CHICAGO (ANP)?The returns won't be in until next September on that sensational trade involving I.any Dohy. the s 1 u ggj n g ,on t li yld or. Will this two.-for-one deal benefit more the Cleveland Indians I>nhy'- former loam, or the China, go-White-Sox. tns new employer? This man doesn't know. And he won't try to speculate or evaluate the ultimate verdict. But he will hazard this conjecture: Doby will profit from his change of scenery. I.aOy was kind enough to say that he was sorrv lie was li'mimr Xliwkdaruk-That's t-be usual amontity of ball players when they depart from a team that, has been their baseball life. Doby has spent more than eijrht seasons with the Indians. 15tit was the Ill-year-old outfield or really happy in the Wigwam ? A moody brooding type of a player, Doby has been accused of having complexes. On the otherdiand, the Cleveland fans are supersensitive, the baseball writers and sportscasters super-critical. It has, been said, too, that Doby didn't get along too well with teammates, it was apparent that lie wasn't one of Manager A1 Lopez's favorite 1ml! players. Larry's salary squawks didn't endear him to Hank Greenberg. . - It was only last spring that Doby threatened to bolt the Triho's training camp as Tuscon, Ariz., after a hitter squabble with Green berg over money. Hank had given Goldstein, Cleveland's traveling secretary, persuaded Doby not to leave. Matters were ironed out eventually. During the past season, after the ..minus nuu dropped a close game to their tormentors .of 1955^. the Washington Senators, Lopez dressed down Doby' in the dressing rooni for a tactical error. The scolding took place in front of the entire team. Other members of the club had been gujltyof just as ser rous 'mistakes, but escaped the manager's Wjr.ath. __ Too many* Cleveland faps_ seem to remember that I)ol?y was the first Negro player to wear an American League uniform. Booing him was fashionable, it seemed in the early days of his career in organized baseball. Some of the fans simply never got out of the habit. " These' were typical of the mental obstacles that Doby had to fight while he was in the Cleveland uniform. Try a~s he might with his 202 tromc runs, his more than 100 RBI total in all but four seasons, his positively sensational fielding, Larry never quite succeeding in overcoming tjiosc Tenfpcramental handicaps. Oh, sure, the fans ^tood up in mi oiuinirst of applause whenever he leancd?ovier?the wire fence-in the Cleveland Stadium to rob an opposing hatter of a .home run. Oh^ "Sure, the cheers rang in his ears when?he clouted a ninth-inning home run that broke up a game. But a strike-out or a fielding misplay recalled too easily that night in 1040 when Larry attempted to steal home on the New York' Yankees with his team trailing t> to 2. Sonic experts have l>een saying for years that fi-arry has the potential to become one of the greatperformers in baseball history. Did this change of scenery come too late? Perhaps, no; perhaps yes. It's this man's -hunch that he's going to make the White Sox partisans forget all about Chico "Carrasquel and Jim Busby, who exchange uniforms with him. ' v ' ^ ?
