|Rosen' Bat
Booming
For Indians
BY BEN PHLEGAR
AP Sports Writer

IL AL Rosen can continue his
present pace, he's going to force
the major league baseball writer's
to dig up a new award.
The writer's unanimously picked
Rosen as the most valuable player
in the American League last
season, the first time any player
had been selected on perfect
ballot.
The handsome, prematurely grey
Cleveland star polled the landslide
after sweeping virtually every
available hitting honor and missing
the batting crown by a single
point.
It was a tremendous year, leav-
ing little room for improvement.
But this season he's ahead of his
last years pace in every depart
ment.
In 81 games he has collected 81
hits in 1877 times at bat for an
average Of 1872. He's hit ID home
runs, scored 20 and driven in 4S.
At the same stage a year ago he
was hitting 1888 with AT hits, 10
homers, 20 runs and 80 runs bat
ted in.
Not only is he getting more of
everything but his timing has been
near perfection. For example, in
the last Is days he has personally
accounted for the winning or tying
run in 6 of the IL games won by
Cleveland.
He did it again last night as he
broke up scoreless pitching duel
between Early Wynn and Steve
Gromek of Detroit with his 18th
home run with Larry Dboy on base
in the seventh inning. The final
score was 80 as Wynn checked
the Tigers on two hits.
By winning the Indians stayed
nine percentage points ahead of
the onrushing Chicago White Sox
who swept a twilight-night double
header from slump-ridden Balti-
more, 11-6 and 1913. The New York
Yankees came from six runs be-
hind to edge Boston 1919 and Phila-
delphia bowed to Washington 1876.
In the National League the first
place Milwaukee Braves extended
their winning streak to 10 although
they had to 60 IL innings to beat
the st. Louis Cardinals 3D.. New
York battered Brooklyn TT,
knocking the Dodgers into fourth
place. Philadelphia defeated Pitts
burgh 40 in a game shortened to
six innings because of rain and
Cincinnati beat Chicago So in the
only daylight action in either cir
cult.
A Baltimore crowd Of 2s,1s4 sat
through 6 hours IS minutes of mis-
cry as the Orioles ran their los
ing streak to nine. Chicago pulled
! into a virtual tie for first place
with Cleveland, Baltimore sank
into a three-way tie with Boston
and Philadelphia for last.
Cass Michaels hit a grand slam
home run for the White Sox in
the first game while the Orioles
left is stranded. In the nightcap
Baltimore left 10 men on base.
Two records for pinch hitters
were broken in the opener. Bal
timore used eight, a single club
mark, and Chicago added one to
break the two team total.
