INDIANAPOLIS. May 90
Television fight fans who like to
keep round-by-round cards can
compare their scoring tonight
with that of the referee and
judges-round by round.
The bout is a Speedway week
end 10-rounder between Joe
Miceli of New York and AL An
drews of Superior, Wis, a pair of
classy welterweights.
(In Washington the bout
will be televised by WMAL,
Channel 2, starting at 9
o'clock.
Announcing the score round by
round has been tried before
four times in ill'iana--but this
is the first time on TV. Archie
Hindman, former president of
the National Boxing Commission

the viewers can't see how the
officials arrived at their de-

can keep score along with the
officials they'll have a better
idea how the fight looks to the

Hindman said both Harry
Stickevers, Miceli'S manager, and
Ike Bernstein, manager of
Andrews, are interested in seeing
how the system works.
It has an advantage for the
fighters in that each knows how
he stands and doesn't have to

Al Rosen's Amazing Feots
Keeping Cleveland on Top
BY Ben PhIegor
Assoeioted Press Sports Writer

If Al Rosen can continue his
present pace. he's going to force
the major league baseball writ
ers to dig up a new award.
The writer's unanimously
picked Rosen as the most val
liable player in the American
League last season, the first
time any player had been Sc
lected on a perfect ballot since
the present system started 20
years ago.
The prematurely gray Cleve-
land inflelder polled the land
slide after sweeping virtually
every available hitting honor and
losing the batting crown to
Mickey Vernon by only a single
point.
It was a tremendous year,
leaving little room for improve
ment. Yet this season he's ahead
of his 1853 pace in every de-
partment.
Far Ahead of '53 Marks.
In 81 games, Rosen has COL
lected 81 hits in 1877 times at
bat for an average of .372. He's
hit 13 homers. scored 29 runs
and driven in 48. At the same
stage a year ago. he was hitting
1893 with Al hits, 10 homers,
% runs and 80 runs batted in.
Not only is AL getting more
of everything, but his timing
has been near perfection. For
example, in the last Is days
Rosen has personally accounted
for the winning or tying run
in six Of the IL games won by
the Indians.
He did it again last right as
he broke up a scoreless pitching
duel between Early Wynn and
Steve Gromek of Detroit with
his 18th home run with Larry
Dolby on base in the seventh
inning. The final score was
80 as Wynn held the Tigers to
two hits.
BY winning, the Indians stayed
on top in the league standings,
nine percentage points ahead Of
the Chicago White Sox, who
swept twi-night double-header
from the slump-ridden Balti-
more Orioles, lie and 1913 The
New York Yankees came from
six runs behind to edge Bos-
ton, 1919.
Andy Carey's single in the
ninth inning drove in the YAM

home run in the third end Ted
Lepcio homered with two aboard

sixth on five singles and three
walks.

their honeymoon with Balti-

The two teams used 36 players

Of them were Orioles and eight
were pinch-hitters, one more
than was ever used before in a
