Smith Receives Big Raise Amid Indians Dismal Year
In 1955, Smith earns a jump to the $18 000 per year bracket shaping his third major league season. The versatile Negro star led the league with 123 runs and 22 homers while finishing third in MVP voting behind Yogi Berra and Al Kaline. He appeared in every game last season and may shift from left to center field as Cleveland evaluates lineup needs. Jim Busby, acquired from Chicago for Larry Doby, underperforms at the plate.

His scoring averages dip from his college peak but reflect tougher professional competition and a rugged 300 game schedule. He has added court finesse and stronger defense to his game.
