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.
End Losing Streak
The Browns ended a five-game
losing streak at Philadelphia
with a 5 to 1' victory. In the Na
tional league, Brooklyn regained
first place with a 5 to 4 victory
at Cincinnati in 10 innings.
The Giants fell back by losing
to the Cardinals, 9 to 4, to end
their seven-game winning streak,
while Robin Roberts blanked the
Pirates for the Phils, 6 to 0 on
two hits, and Johnny Klippstein
of the Cubs pitched a three-hit,
2 to 0 victory over the Braves.
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. Duke Snider and Gil
Hodges hit homers for the
Dodgers.
Five in Third
The Cardinals got five runs in
the third inning off ex-teammate
Max Lanier. Wally Westlake and
Del Rice each drove in two runs
in the big frame. Joe Presko,
won his first game. Don Mueller
homered for New York.
Roberts yielded only two
scratch singles as ha topped the
frightful Pirates who lost their
sixth straight and the 18th in
the last 17. Del Ennis paced the
Phils with two homers.
Klippstein strong-armed the
Braves with another fine job in
which he chipped in a run-producing
single in the fifth .as the
Cubs scored both runs : on a
triple by Randy Jackson, a dou
ble by Dee Fondy, and Klipp
stein's hit. He struck out seven
and walked only one.

Diver Will Search
For Lost Civil War
Treasure in River
Memphis, Tenn. (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.
