The Indians may be handicapped by the loss of Manager Birdie Tebbetts, sidelined for the season by a heart attack. The Red Sox have too many gaps; the Angels lack power and pitching; the Athletics added power but lost pitching strength and as for the Senators — they have a real nice guy in Manager Gil Hodges, but he has few major league ball players. The feeling here is that the Phillies are going to do this season what the Dodgers did last — win on pitching. They won 87 games last year and had to go without their ace left hander, Dennis Bennett, for more than half the season because of a broken left ankle.
