Pacific Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 18, 1948, Tokyo, Japan                              Angels win far East baseball Crown by sgt. 1/c Dick Harn sports editor along with a lot of you Guys we too thought Lou Boudreau did a wonderful Job of bringing his indians in on top of the american league Heap. Then we got to thinking and delving Back into the records. And came tto this conclusion and we do not mean to belittle Lou. Thene is no question about it he did one of the finest jobs a Pilot of any team Ever did. But the fact remains it is the belief that Veeck whence wanted to fire Boudreau at the Start of this season had visions of putting old Bill Mckeeh Kievat the  s go Back and look at Bill s record. As manager of the  in 1925 he led his National league team to the Pennant As manager of the St. Louis cardinals in 1928 he again led his team to Victory and then in 1937and 1940 As manager of the Cincinnati reds he again led the National league to victories. Now to get up to Date he was one of Lou Boudreau s coaches of the indians this year. To us it appears tha Veeck wanted Mckechnie As manager but the Cleveland fans put a sudden quietus on this. And after the wonderful season enjoyed by the genial Young manager of the indians tide year it is inconceivable that he will be let Loose As Pilot even if his club loses in 1949. But we say this deservedly thinking of course of Bucky Harris Fate with the new York yanks. We sincerely Hope that Bill Veeck who proved himself e great Soldier even to the extent of losing a leg will realize the greatness of his Stellar shortstop and retain him. As manager for years to come. 61 making this statement we re not underestimating the capabilities of Bill Mckechnie one of the finest of managers. There is no doubt in our minds that he Lent a Large helping hand to his Junior Lou Beaudreau. But after All Lou was the manager and deserves All the Praise due a Leader for putting his team to the world s championship.
