BUSY DAY ON SIGNING FRONT
indians Give Dick Donovan Stable Increase
BY the Associated Press

Pitcher Dick Donovan, win
ner Of 20 games for sixth-place
Cleveland last season, got a
sizable raise in his new con-
tract yesterday and last night
was honored before a banquet
audience Of TOO as the Indians
man Of the year"
The tall, soft-spoken right
handler was the unanimous
choice of the Cleveland chapter
of the Baseball Writers Asso-
ciation for the award.
His 20-10 record made him
the first Indian since 1856 to
win 20 games. He tied with Jim
Kaat and Camilo Pascual Of
Minnesota for the American
League in shutouts with five,

ing News as the leagues lead
ing pitcher.
Well Rewarded
General Manager Gabe Paul
said Donovan had signed at a
salary which puts him in a
class with some Of the greatest
performers Cleveland has ever
had"
Paul gave no figures, and he
scarcely meant that the 35-
year-old ace had moved into
the lofty salary bracket Pitcher
Bob Feller or Shortstop Lou
Boudreau occupied in the days
i'm m e diately after World
War II.
But there was no question
Donovan was we'll rewarded for
his first 20-victory season in
l6 years of professional base
ball. He may even have been
boosted to the approximate
$4,000 repeatedly drawn here
by Centerfielder Jim Piersall,
who was traded to Washington
at the end Of the 1861 season
in the deal that brought Dono-
van to Cleveland.
