Gromek Beals Yankees By 1-0 Score MARRERO PITCHES SENATORS TO STH STRAIGHT VICTORY By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Steve Gromek, 32-year-old right- hander from Hamtramck, Mich., qualifies as a Yankee killer for the Cleveland Indians. The veteran righthander, con- sidered a second stringer on the | Indian mound staff, pitched a neat 1-0 4-hitter in beating the Yanks | and Allie Reynolds Tuesday night for the third time. The last time Gromek started against the Yankees in Yankee Sta- diunf—may 19, 1949—he trimmed | the Bombers, 3-2. The time before that—in Cleveland in 1948—he downed the Yanks, 2-1. Gromek’s shutout was the first time a Cleveland piteher has blanked the Yanks since Bob Fel- ler’s no-hitter in April 1946. The second-string Indian starter wrote finis to his spectacular triumph by striking out Gene Woodling on three pitches. This is the same Woodling who hit five | home runs against the Indians last year, each contributing to a vic- tory. And this is the same Yankee | team that defeated the Tribe 10) times in 11 meetings at Yankee Stadium last year. “Credit the sinker I developed during spring training,” Gromek said afterward. The Indians’ tally off Reynolds came in the second inning. It was scored on singles by Dale Mitchell, | Ray Boone and Birdie Tebbetts. | Cleveland’s triumph, in the first elash of the season between the two leading contenders for the American League flag, kept the Indians within one game of the first-place Boston Red Sox, who trounced the Chicago White Sox, 11-2. Conrado Marrero pitched the third place Washington Senators | to their fifth straight victory with a 5-2 win over Detroit. Again Jack- | ie Jensen and Archie Wilson, ob- | tained from the Yankees last Sat- | urday, were the big guns on attack | for the Nats. Jensen doubled, drove in a run, stole a base and scored | twice. Wilson hit a single and tri- | | ple, scored once and batted in aj run, | Santana, p - Following Through seskwagile Jr. American Legion Baseball League game will be played to- night at Wickers Field.

In. other games, Daytona Beach beat Lees- burg, 5-0; Cocoa trimmed St. Au- gustine, 12 - 2; and Gainesville edged Palatka, 9-8. Catcher Hilman Rhodes supplied pitching in Sanford’s victory. Rhodes, who gave up a promising football career and a scholarship at Florida to play pro baseball, drove in the first Sanford run with a home, the second with a double and scored the third on Howard Miller's single. Dick Dotson was wild enough to walk 10 Orlando Senators, but his mates gave him enough sup- port to make up for the trouble. The Red Hats tagged Wayne Se- well for 12 hits, while Dotson al- lowed only six hits but walked seven. Cocoa’s Jack Bordieri and Virgil Frazier combined to pitch a 4-hit- ter against the last-place St. Au- and Bob Matteoni. Don Anderson, manager of the Gainesville G-Men, got his only hit of the night with the bases loaded in the 11th to supply the margin of victory over Palatka’s Azaleas.

Robert Taft in Ohio and a narrow victory for Sen. Richard B. Russell in Florida. Returns from one-third of Ohio's 10,312 precinets showed eight Taft delegates unopposed and 46 others leading in contested races. Ohio sends 56 delegates to the Republi- ean conyention in July. The Ohio senator called it a “landslide victory over Eisenhow- er and Stassen,” and said it put him “far out in front” in the race for delegate support. A slate backing former Gov. Har- old Stassen of Minnesota and twa candidates who said they favored Sen. Dwight Eisenhower were run- ning behind the Taft ticket.
