Around 9 o'clock tonight, the smoggy serenity of Cleveland's lakefront will be split by one hell of a yell: Lou Boudreau will have returned to Municipal Stadium and some 60,000 teary voices will rise together in protest that he should have never left. The average Cleveland baseball fan is funny that way; a sentimentalist, he would still prefer the Indians in the second division under Boudreau than on top (as they currently are) under somebody else...

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Bury Shotton was expected to get his walking papers today to make way for Charlie Dresson to pilot the Dodgers. Dresson, a former Brooklyn coach, managed the Cincinnati Rods from...
