Against One Defeat Key West High finished IF THEY: HAD SEVEN LEAGUE BOOTS, the Little League could take gigantic strides in base- their baseball season with an 82 win over Miami Beach High last week end. Key West started out in! the first inning by scoring) 6 runs on a walk and an error followed by six hits including doubles by Sal- gado and J. Cruz before re- lief pitcher Exter could put the fire out. Exter pitched fine ball the re- mainder of the game, giving up only three hits and two runs, one in the second and one in the sixth on Salgado’s single and Lucy Gonzalez’ line drive through sec- | jond. The Conchs had a total of | 9 hits, good for 8 runs with three | doubles by Solomon, Salgado and Cruz. George Lastres kept the Beach team swinging at his curve and gave up only 6 hits while strik- ing out 10. Beach scored in the fourth on Exter’s single and Weiss’ long double. Weiss wes caught at third by Baker's per- fect throw in attempting to! stretch it into a triple. Their final run was scored in the seventh when Strauss walked | and Wallman and Exter followed! with singles. Robert Lastres, Gibby Gates, and Harold Solomon shone in the field along with Baker’s perfeci| throw to third, catching Weiss.

Lemon Blanks Brownies By 1To 0 Score Washington Senators Defeat Philadelphia Athleties 5-2 In 11 Innings By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer What happened to the lively ball? Like the dedo bird, it appears to have become extinct. Remember when those pitchers | were wailing about too much jack- | rabbit in the ball? That was only | two years ago. Now the hitters are doing the moaning and groan- ing. And with gocd reason. Just look at these figures of fu- tility on the part of the batters: The major league season is less |than a month old and already 28 shutouts have been pitched. Amer- ican League hurlers, who have turned in 17 whitewashing jobs, have spun seven 1-0 games to equal their full-season total of 1951. Bob Lemon of Cleveland and Al- lie Reynolds of the New York Yankees pitched briliant 1-0, two- hit victories Sunday. That boosted the total of low-hit games this year to 35. Only four home runs were hit That raised the two leagues’ total to 217, exactly 70 fewer than the 287 hit last year at a corresponding date. Lemon's two-hit victory was fol- lowed by Mike Garcia’s eight-hit, 3-1 triumph. It enabled the Indians to sweep a doubleheader from the Browns and increase their Ameri- | ; can League lead to two games ov- er the runner-up Washington Sen- ators. Lemon was extended to the limit as Ned Garver, brownie ace, yield- ed only four hits himself. Three of them came in the last half of the ninth to furnish the only run. Dale Mitchell’s two-out single with mound duel. Reynolds, who hurled a no-hitter against the Red Sox last Septem- er, nearly duplicated the stunt. | Phe only hits the Red Sox got were | first-inning singles by Dom DiMag- | gio and Vern Stephens. | The Senators defeated the Phil- F3 the bases loaded broke up the!
