Tribe's Gromek Shuts I Out Yankee Nine 1-0 ! I r i Br UNITED PRESS Steve Gromek, an almost for gotten man among the lour acei in the Cleveland Indian pitching deck, gave them a great burst of confidence Wednesday after a masterful 1 to 0 victory over the Yankees which he said was "the best game I ever had in the ma jors." Gromek had not itarted against the Yankees since August 'of 1948, and he got his chance Tuesday night, only because the big stars, Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Early Wynn and Mike Garcia, were not sufficiently rested. But, after throwing Just four hard warm-up pitches in a five- . minute limbering to a bull pen catcher, he flipped one more over the catcher's head "just for , luck" and went out to hurl a ; masterful four-hitter against the champs. 12-6 Record Gromek, who now has a 12-6 lifetime record against the Yan kees said that the big factor was control. He walked only one bat ter and had a two-hitter until the eighth. The Indians made their only tally off Allie Reynolds by getting three of their five sin gles in the second inning, Birdie Tebbetts driving in the run after Dale Mitchell and Ray Boone previously hit one-basers. The Red Sox stayed on top, a game ahead of Cleveland, by top ping the White Sox, 11 to 2, while Washington made it five In a row by defeating the Tigers, 5 to 2.

Clyde Vollmer boosted his bat , ting average over .500 with two homers, a single, a double, and a walk as he batted in five runs In the Red Sox triumph. Willard Nixon, making his first start of the year for Boston, pitched tour-hit ball. Sam Mele got Chicago homer and Walt Dropo also nit one for Boston. Elude Trouble Connie Marrero twice struck out pinch-hitters to elude trou ble as the astonishing third place Senators beat Tiger ace Art Houtteman on Marrero's six- hitter. Rookie Clint Courtney and old- . timer Marty Marion each got their first AL homers in- the Brownie triumph. Duane Pillette pitched eight-hit ball and would have fared better except for Eddie Joost who conked him for four of them. Brooklyn put over its winning tally in the 10th on a triple by Andy Pafko and a fly by Carl Furillo as young Billy Loes pitched top-flight relief ball for six innings to gain his third tri umph.

(U.R) A brawny "hell diver" will search the treacherous waters of the Mississippi this summer for. the lost treasures of a sunken Civil War gunboat. Jack R. Bell said he knows where the safe from the gun boat lies and that he will don his shallow-dive equipment and try to salvage valuable relics and possible gold. The 42-year-old Bell, who wears a modified Army gas mask with 'oxygen tank attach ments for his under-water prowl ing, has a reputation for getting what ka Dns. nftf ivWhav 4 1 ' a a set of false teeth dropped from j a boat or the body of a drowned man. He is called "hell diver" be-' Cause he even goes into so-called hell holes on lake bottoms to recover lost articles. Frightening Sight His rather weird looking equipment led one couple to be lieve he was a sea monster. Bell was testing some new equipment in Maddux Bay, try ing to see how long he could stay under water. When he had gone about a mile, he popped to the surface, coming up beside the boat of a man and his wife who were out fishing. "The woman screamed, her rod and reel flew up Into the air and she fell over in a faint," Bell recalled. "The man grabbed an oar and drew back to whack me but he was shaking so he couldn't control his arms." Bell snatched off his mask to show his face and started apolo gizing. While the man worked over his wife, Bell dove for the fishing rod she had dropped. No Charge For Bodies The woman came to just as he surfaced for the second time, and fainted again. Bell has brought up the bodies of 27 persons but he never charges for recovering bodies, He does charge one-third value of any lost articles he brings up Bell is rather casual about his hobby but it has its dangers, Loggerhead turtles that lie cov ered in mud with only their head in sight and their vise-like jaws open are the biggest danger.
