| TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1951. —_____ HARTENSTINE GETS POST ON GOVERNING BOARD OF FLORIDA TENNIS ASSOCIATION | Chosen One Of Five That Run In State; Means Better Chance Fo City's Getting Rarkings, Teurneys {Ralph Hartenstine was elected to the executive committee of the Florida Tennis Association at its meet- ing in Miami Sunday. The Association is a member of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, the body which runs tennis in this country. As a mmebr of the five man commitee. Harentstine will have a hand in running tennis in the state. The five rank junior and senior players in Florida. pass on by- laws which are brought up for consideration at associa- tion meetings, and generally have the last say in mat-| ters concerning the sport. This election was both an honor and:a surpirse to} Hartenstine and Key West. Up to this time, the Island City has not figured enough in the sport to warrant the | selettion of a committee member from among its: tennis} offieials and players. It usually takes at least five years residence. in a| state for a man to work up to a postion of sufficient pro- minence in any sport that he will be elected to its gov- erning body. Hartenstine’s selection was due partly to aj conflict within the association. The Jacksonville and Miami delegations could not | agree on the fifth membership. Both were becoming | more intractable as the meeting wore on. Finally, Mar- ian Wood Huey, a prominent Miami Beach socialite and arbiter of tennis in that area, arose and suggested Har- tenstine. The question was put to a vote and the Key, West delegate won by a single vote. Other 1wembers of the Conch group were Coach Van. Don Cruz, and Peter Knight. Hartenstine’s membership,on the , committee will make it pgssibje for any application that Key West may make fora United State Law nTennis Association tourn+ ament torective sdrious J i | msidération. Thereiwas some! talk, during and after the recent doubles tournev at the Casa Marina, of making application for a USLTA sanc-|‘ tioned event. It is also likely that Coach Van's application for membership in the greater Miami high school tennis league for both his boys and girls teams will be aided by this new conection. The meeting of the Florida Association was schedul- ed to cnincide with the playing of the semifinals and fi- nals of the Good Neighbor Championships. The tourna- sat ment was won by Herb Flam, No. 2 ranking player in the}; country. He defeated Gardner Mulloy, No. 4, in the fi- nals that followed the meeting Sunday afternoon. 7 only trouble no one plays like and one assist r had] | him.” ‘ out and tic 380 Smith From seen made two ovis ro assist: The game of baseball ain't what} For the visiteurs, d 15 outs e it used to be.

CITIZEN PAGE THREE } THROUGF By PEDRO AGUILAR | We lost the two games against | thé Big Spring Cubans but we} are still ahead of the three clubs] that have visited us this First, the University of Havana. We split with them, winning one and Josing one. With the Cuban Police team, we won the three games, and now we lose two, giving us four won and three lost} with outside clubs, or an average of .571. 1 In this series just ended, the| locals should have won bothj games and instead lost both. Both games were iost in one fatal inning. In the first game, the rame was the Jonah, for al- was wild, a little support would have turned the tide.. After Gomez walked, he fanned Salupe, and then. Medina hit. to third, Jack fumbled’ .the ball, 'Gomez stole third. and C ception walked to fil! the bases Rids hit a Texas leaguer to cen- ter and Pascual walked to put tw@ more runs across. Then in the third, the two runs that decided the game were put on hy the pitcher who hit Conception and fanned Rios, then hit Pascual. Baez flied out, but Cubilla and Bravo hit singles and two runs came home. That was enough to win. Patato Pascual held the locals to three hits in the first six frames, but in the seventh with two outs, Rodriguez walked nith doubled and Bu singled for two runs Cabot got on by _ interference and Reberts fanned. In the sixth, they | lost a good ‘chance when Agevedo' fanned, Jack got on by efor, an@ Roberts) singled. \Mira an@ ;Waldez fanned. !

He stopped it but could not throw for the out. In the seventh. Helba singled and Alonzo flied out. Bravo forced Helba at second, and Rios singled but was out on a throw from center to third and have been one out; the next man hit to Brown, who could have made an easy out at first for the second out. But he threw to sec- because of the balk. Alonzo hit to third, who made an error, Hel- ba scored the second run, and then Bravo fanned. That would have ended the game, but Rios hit to second, the ball got away from Smith who then threw wild to third and *Helba and Rios each hit two |safely.
