Indians Set
Faster Pace
Than in '54
By FRED DOWN'
I'nlted Press Snorts U'riti-r
They can't match the Brooklyn
Dodgers' astounding start but the
Cleveland Indians today loomed
far ahead ot the pace which car
ried them to a record 111 victories
and the American League chain
pionship in 1954.
After their 9-6 and 2-1 sweep of
the Kansas City Athletics Sunday,
the Indians held a two-game first
place lead with a 17-7 record and
.708 percentage. Just a year ago
today they were in third place witM
a us mark and a .600 percentage.
They didn't take the lead until
May 16.
Right-fielder Al Smith and first
baseman Al Rosen were the stars
as the Indians achieved a tidy four
game winning streak and reeled off
their ninth victory in 10 games
The sweep was the Indians' second
of. this 'season. They took 13 of 19
bargain bills last year.
Smith hammered out three home
tmns during the doubleheader. He
blasted a pair of two-run blows as
the Tribe battled back from an
early 5-0 deficit in the opener and
then broke rookie Art Ceeearelli's
spell with a third homer which pro
duced a 1-1 tie in the seventh in
ning of the nightcap..
Kosen Breaks Deadlock
The deadlock lnsted until the 11th
inning when Rosen, filling in at
first base for Vic Wert, blasted
his fifth round-tripper. Art Houtte-
man gained credit for his third win
in relief of Bob Feller in the first
game while Ray Narleski, Cleve
land's third pitcher, was the win
ner in the second contest.
The runaway Dodgers rolled to
their 21st victory in 23 games, 9-8
over the Philadelphia Phillies. Gil
Hodges hit a two-run homer and
Duke Snider a grand-slammer as
the Dodgers built a 9-2 lead. The
Phillies battled back in the late in
nings before Jim Hughes finally
stopped them and sealed their ninth
straight defeat high for the 1955
campaign.
The New York Yankees finally
caught up with "jinx-pitcher" Wil-
lard Nixon in a 5-0 win over the
Boston Red Sox and the Chicago
White Sox downed the Detroit
Tigers, . 54 and 1-0 in a pair of
thrillers. The Washington Senator
crushed the Baltimore Orioles, la
7, after a 4-3 loss in the other A.L.,
games.
Bob Grim, a 20-game winner in
1954, won his first 1955 game with
ninth-inning relief aid from ,Jim
Konstanty to give the Yankees
their fourth consecutive win. Joe
Collins and Hank Bauer homered
oft Nixon, whn had beaten the Yan
kees six straight times and hadn t
lost to them since Sept. 24, 1950.
Rookie Pitching Duel
Nelson Fox drove in the winning
run with an llth-inning single in
the opener and tripled and scored
the only run of the second game
for the White Sox. Fox's second
game hit enabled Dick Donovan to
best Frank Lary in a fine duel of
rookie pitchers.
Eddie Waitkus' two-run ninth in
ning triple enabled the Orioles to
win their opener but the Senators
came back with a 15-hit attack fea
tured by homers by Tom Umphlett
and Jesse Levari in the second
game.
Willie Mays had four hits and
Don Mueller ran his hitting streak
to 21 games as the New York
Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates,
fi-3. The Pirates won the opener,
7-5, as Dick Groat, Gerry Lynch
and Gene Freese homered.
In other N.L. games, Warren
Spahn scattered 12 hits to give the
Milwaukee Braves a 6-2 win and
hand the St. Louis Cardinals their
seventh straight setback, and the
Cincinnati Redlegs beat trie Chi
cago Cubs, 4-3, on Hobie Landrith's
second homer of the game after
Sam Jones won his third game for
the Cubs, 5-3, in the opener.

Derby Won
By Swaps
On Saturday
LOUISVILLE. Ky. (UP)-A half-
sole Irjm a woman's shoe played a
major role in Swaps' stunning vic
tory in the richest Kentucky Derby
of them all.
Before shipping the handsome
chentnut colt back to California
Sunday, trainer M. A. Tenney re
vealed Swaps was nursing a tender
right front foot on.y two days be
lore the Derby,
"I wanted to give him a good
workout just before the Derby,
said Tenney, "but the foot hurt him
and we only let him. gallop. Later
1 pulled the shoe off and reset a
piece of learner it's actually a
lalf-so'e from a woman's shoe
under his hoof and renailed the
plate.
"I guess I got it set just right
lecause the. foot didn't seem to
bother him after that," . Tenney
added.
If Swaps did have a sore foot he
crtainly didn't show it on Derby
day. With Wee Willie Shoemaker
urging him on, the California comet
grabbed an early lead and then hol
'ooted it out front the rest of the
way to defeat favored Nashua by t
length-and-a-half.
As the train carrying Swaps,
Tenney and owner Rex Ellsworth
headed towards California, turfmen
everywhere were wondering If the
Derby hero and Nashua will hook
up again in the Preakness at old
Pimlico, May 28.
Nashua, who also left Louisville
by train Sunday for New York, is
a definite starter for the second of
the triple crown races, barring any
mishap. Swaps was not named for
the Preakness, but Ellsworth can
enter the colt by posting a $7,500
supplementary nomination fee.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (UP
The mail sacks have been get

Commission office here and this
can mean only one thing more
prospectors than' ever before are
hitting the uranium trail this summer.
'We thought 1953 was a big
year," an ArJC spokesman said
today. "And last year, we decided
It couldn't be any bigger. But now
it looks like this summer will top
them all."
Although the snow hasn't melted
vet in the high country, you can
alreadv tell the big prospecting
season is near. The volume of let
ters received by the Grand Junc
tion operations office of the AEC
was never greater.
Thousands of prospectors, or
would-be prospectors, are writing
in for information about how and
where to go to look for uanium.
The AEC is happy to oblige.
"We'll do everything but point
to a place on the map and say.

Nationwide Affair
The uranium boom is a nation

San Francisco, investors are sink

But out here on the 170,000 square

Many of the prospectors will be
vacationers from for corners of
the country. Others will be "week

near the uranium fields. A small
number will be new "profession

Brodie Boy
Better Today
CHICAGO (UP) The world's
most famous Siamese twin, three
year old Rodney Dee Brodie, ap
peared to be fighting his way bark
from death today.
The youngster came out of a 55
hour coma und seemed to recog
nize his parents on Mother'.; Day.
But his condition was still criti
cal. Doctors hoped a hemorrhage
in his brain has stopped. They hold
out little hope for his survfvul if
it doesn't.
Rodney Dee was separated from
his head-joined Siamese twin
brother, Roger Lee, in a history
making operation on Dec. 17. 1952.
Roger Lee never recovered con
sciousness after the operation and
died 34 days luter. But his brother
thrived, despite 19 subsequent oil
erations and the lack of u perma
nent covering for his brain.
Last week, however, the little
boy became sluggish. His father.
Royt Brodie, brought him from his
farm home to the university o'
Illinois Research and Educational
Hospital here.
Doctors performed an explora
tory operation and discovered u
brain hemorrhage which they
could not control. Rodney Dee
lapsed into a coma Friday morn
ing and hope for his survival was
practically given up.
But on Saturday night the boy'i
condition appeared to improve and
yesterday he regained con-scoius
ness. '
He was still much too we:ik to
speak. But doctors said his color
was better and he was resting
more comfortably. They called the
change in his condition heartening.
