Scoreboard

P: In Cleveland, the Indians' Third Baseman Al Rosen. 28, heard the news that a good part of the baseball world took for granted: he had won the American League's Most Valuable Player award (National League winner: Brooklyn Catcher Roy Campanella). Rosen, first man in 18 years to win the M.V.P. by unanimous vote of the baseball writers' committee, is a fast and polished fielder, but won with his big bat, which led the league in home runs (43), in runs batted in (145), and missed the batting championship (.337) by one percentage point.

P: In Hanover, N.H., a onetime third baseman, Robert Abial ("Red") Rolfe, 45, member of the New York Yankees' famed "Murderers' Row" of the '303 and onetime manager of the Detroit Tigers (1949-52). came back home to his alma mater as Dartmouth's athletic director.

P: In Brooklyn, the Dodgers announced that their new manager for 1954 will be Walter Emmons Alston. 42, who struck out in his one time at bat as a major-leaguer (St. Louis Cardinals) in 1936. But last season, in unwitting preparation for his new job, Alston managed Monfeal, a Brooklyn farm club, to a little wild series victory over Kansas City, a Yankee farm club.
