24 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Thursday, May 22, 1952 New High School Tennis Champions Are June Yates And Leo Carey Favorite ‘Poochie’ Defeated By June; Leo Carey Wins Over Tony Dopp June Yates and Leo Carey are the 1952 High School tennis champions. June defeated Diana “Poochie” Fernandez in a_ close exciting match and Leo defeated the surprising Tony Dopp in the final round matches for the championships, June's victory was a glorious ene for her but a very disap- pointing and heartbreaking de- feat for “Poochie.” For “Poochie” has been number one on the High School ladder for some time now and was a_ tefinite favorite to win the tournament. However June's strong fighting spirit and determin.tion proved just a little too much for Diana in this match and June was re- turned the victory by scores of 6-0, 3-6, 6-4. The final set showed how grit and determination can pull out victory from defeat. With the score ‘-1 in “Poochie’s” favor, June put on the pressur. She rushed the net more often and picked up speed all around and ran through five straight games for the set, the match, and a magnificent victory. Leo Carey, who is now one of the top players on the island, did not have quite as much trouble winning from the upset-happy Tony Dopp. Leo won 6-0, 6-4 and once agai showed that he has whitt it takes. Tony is the most improved player on the High School team and his stroking is beautiful to watch. Although Leo had no trouble in the first set, he had plenty of trouble in the second. Tony took a 4-0 lead with beautiful blasts down either line. At this point he was just hitting stronger and better than Leo. The stroking of both was beautiful and some of the best looking points ever seen here were on display. But at this point Leo called upon brains. Softening up his game and _ becoming strictly a retriever, he changed the pace of the game to such an extent that Tony's timing went off and his’ game deteriorated. From this point on the tide of the set turned completely and Leo once again took six straight games and the match. Other outstanding matches © of the tournament were as follows: Lynn Sellers defeated Vita Bar- roso for the first time by the surprising margin of 6-4, 6-0. In the semi-finals the greatly im- proved Lynn “Poochie” a terrific stru; before going down 6-0, 1-6, 6-4. In the other semi-final June Yates defeated Dolores Villate 7-4, 6-1. Tony Dopp scored the big up- set of the boys’ tournament when he defeated Frank Roberts 6-3, 4-6, . This was really a stun- ner. Tony also won from Don Cruz by defaults. In another fine match Leo Ca- ted Peter Knight 2-6. It was a mighty fir ch for Peter and it -vas the} only set that Leo lost duving the tournament. Peter was really sharp and he had Leo on the ropes numerous times, In the | semi-finals Leo tr ced city ch om John Cruz 6-3, 6-0. It was all the way for John never could get in the match.

With 15—count ‘em 1i5—record breaking runs in the first inning, Boss Chuck (The Brain) Dressen’s Dodgers did everything but bundle the Cineinnati Reds in a cement vest. And what did Dressen say? “Maybe we snapped out of our hitting slump.” That w'ns the rub- | ber ice pick as the understatement of the year. Dressen’s Dodger ruffians even roughed up the little red book of baseball. The statisticians will be busy for days, typing new lines into the old book. Five records got the rubber hose in a 19-1 rout of Cincy. They all got it in the first inning when 21 men went to bat, scored 15 runs, 12 of them after two were out. | and 19 successive batters reached base safely. Maybe they’ll find new broken records when they sweep out tle wreckage at Brooklyn this morn- ing. Here’s what they found Wednesday night: 1. New modern major league record of most runs scored in an inning, 15. (All time high is 18 scored by Chicago Cubs, Sept. 6, 1883.) 2. New modern major league record for most times facing op: Posing pitcher in one inning, 21. (All time high is 23, by those same Cubs in ‘83.) 3. New major league record for runs scored in inning after two | were out, 12. 4. New major league record for most runs batted in in one inning, 15. 5. New major league record for most men reaching base safely in succession, 19. Just for good measure, Billy Cox, Pee Wee Reese and Duke Snider tied a record by going to bat three times in an inning and Reese, Snider, Jackie Robinson, Gil Hod- ges, George Shubta and Rube Wal- | ker tied another by scoring twice in the inning. To rub it in, Pitcher Chris Van | Cuyk’s four hits—two of them in the big inning—were one more than he had for one game in his big league career before Wednes- | C day night. Ewell Blackwell, the fellow the i Dodgers are supposed to be trying to lure from Cincy in a trade, was the first victim. When he left it was 3-0, two of the runs coming on Snider's homer. Bud Byerly quickly, ran it to 7-0. Herm Weh- meier raised the bid to 10-0 and Frank Smith finally ran it to 15-0. Smith also gave up the other Dod- ger runs, on a pair of 2-run homers by Bobby Morgan in the third and fifth. In the 15-run inning, the Dodgers had 10 hits—eight of them singles— 10 walks and two hit batsmen Brooklyn took over undisputed Possession of the National League lead because the New York Giants split a day-nig eheader with St. Louis ibers shut out {the 1951 champs with four hits to n his firs But hand Larry J in the 3-0 day Dave Koslo, that old Card back to rack | 10th straight time since up St. Li 11950, in the 8-1 Robin Rot Detroit's V hitless stri a bid for a second str refore Billy bin Vander Me lost his cont “ ered New York 5; Feshere $ in the last 10 treatment while the Dodgers flexed | their muscles for the home folks | | weight | | LaMOTTA DECISIONS HAIRSTON DETROIT ® — At Jake La- Motta’s age you can’t fight slam- bang for 10 full rounds against a dancing youngster like Eugene (Silent) Hairston. Se how did the 30-year-old Bronx Bull gain his unanimous decision over Hairston in a 10-round slugging match here Wednesday night? “That’s easy. I paced myself,” grinned the happy veteran of 12 ring years who outweighed 22-year- elc Hairston 168 to 160% pounds. “That’s my best fight since I started the comeback.” However, Jake, former middle- weight champion, couldn't explode his once-lethal right when he got Hairston in trouble. One of his few good right hands jarred the deaf jmute Negro in the eighth round but Hairston clinched and was all right befpre Jake could move in again. Jake, aiming for a light heavy- title fight or a battle against the winner of the Randy Turpin-Don Cockell fight, saved | most of his windmill clouting for | the last 30 to 45 seconds of each round. And the crowd of 10,232-who paid $32,393.10 to watch Jake’s 2ist fight in his so-called lucky city loved it. Referee Clarence Rosen scored it 53,47, Judge Jack Aspery 55-45, and Judge Joe Lenahan 52-48. The AP scorecard read 55-45. In Michigan each official seores 10 points for eack round, dividing it on how he evaluates their per- fermances. By The Associated Press Won Lost Pet.
