Proprietor Meeting Is Set For Tonight On FIL Offer Offer Following Talks in Key West pledged their support, are urged to attend. The purpose of the meeting is te discuss the latest offer of the Florida International League Of- ficials and take action on the.. proposals. No information has been released to date on the re-.. sults of the talks although it can be said that the picture looks brighter than it hes for some time. Unknown Holds Men’s Tennis Tourney Set For Tonight Today marks. the beginning of the Key West Men’s Tennis Cham- pionships. To the winner of this fine event will go the coveted John M. Spottswood Trophy and from | the present looks f things the tour- nament is going to be a mighty gruelling affair. The entry this year is probably the most select and best of all time, with no out- standing star that we know of but a large group of well rounded play- ers who can hold there own in all but the very top circles of tennis. Lead In Nat'l Open Tourney By HUGH FULLERTON DALLAS (® — Bespectacled, balding Al Brosch is quite familiar with one-day sensations in golf. He has been one; he has played second-fiddle to others; he’s seen them flash to the front and. dis- appear into obscurity. Brosch, a 40-year-old teaching pro from Garden City, N. Y., who plays only on part of the winter tour and in a few major events | each year, held that sometimes enviable position today after shoot- ing an opening round of 68 in the 52nd National Open Championship. | That was one of two subpar | rounds manufactured by the field of 162 in. the: first day of play on | Kna,, the heat - blanketed Northwood course. Ben Hogan, the defending champion and winner of three Na- tional Open titles in his last three attempts, had a 69. Three others fired even par 70s. They were Sam Snead, one of the three top tavorites in pre-tourna- ment reckoning; 44-year-old Hor- ton Smith, the PGA president who is playing in his 21st National open, and Dick Metz, who retired last year to run a ranch and returned to tournament golf. None of the others could buck the combination of 94-degree heat, strong winds and the pressure. But there were enough of them in the 71 and 72 scoring bracket to threat- en Brosch’s laed. But Brosch, who celebrates his 16th wedding anniversary today, doesn’t intend to let that happen. He has seen it too often before. Long known as one of the game’s smoothest swingers, a player who might win a lot of: money if he chose to follow the tournament trail, Al never has finished better than sixth in the Open. That was in 1937 at Detrois’ Oakland Hills, when Ralph Glu- dahl won. At Medinah in 1949 Brosch was the 36-hole leader but faded to nowhere on the final day as Cary Middlecoff won. And at Merion in 1950, Al shot an opening round of 67 which was eclipsed by the record 64 fired by young Lee MacKey. Neither Brosch nor MacKey was in sight when Hogan beat Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio in a playoff for the title. The 71 shoters on the opening day, which saw scores skyrocket as high as 91, included Porky Oliver, Dutch Harrison, George Fazio, Ted Kroll and Julius Boros, all tournament-tested pros. Another was Stan Mosel, the North Texas State College sopho- more from Twin Falls, Idaho, the | only amateur to crash the list of leaders. Further back but still in the run- ning were such players as ex-| Champion Lew Worsham, Tommy Bolt, Chandler Harper, Jackie Burke, Jimmy DeMaret, Jim Fer- | tier and co-Favorite Lloyd Man-, grum. AS ABC Telephone 79 Any of about twelve players have a fine chance of winning. So when the free-for-all is over there may be a surprise or two. All third round matches ‘must be finished this weekend.

MIAMI (® — Bruce Parker and Evelyn Wolford set up formidable targets for the world’s watersskiers to shoot at Thursday when they skimmed at an average speed of 24 miles an hour over shark-in- fested seas from Nassau to Miami. They established a new set of distance and endurance records in covering the 196 miles in eight hours and 12 minutes. The 35-year-old Parker dropped into the shallow surf for a brief rest when the couple glided in to shore at a seaplane ramp on the MacArthur Causeway. Miss Wol- ford, 21, seemed still fresh and smiled brightly for photograpbers as she walked .ashore. It was the third tr yfor the two water ski instructors who alter- nate in seasons between Nassau and Amityville, N. Y. On their first attempt April 26, high waves dumped Miss Wolford into the Gulf Stream after they had covered 147 miles to break the world’s distance record of 120 Lake Michigan in 1941. Engine trouble in the two boat spoiled | Thursday, the usually treacher- ous Gulf Stream was placid, but it | provided the most exciting moment | of the trip when the tow boat cut | through a school of sharks and two big ones broke water alongside the skiers. The only choppy seas were en- countered near the Berry Islands, 50 miles out of Nassau. OLD HEAVEN HILL Bottled in Bond STRAIGHT WHISKEY miles set by Franz Steinhardt on | their second try last week. | Oropeza’s Homer Licks VFW Nine Blasting out nine hits including a tremendous homer by Dann: Or- opeza, the Kiwanis walloped the V. F. W., 11-5 in the first game of a scheduled Little League double- | header at Bayview Park last night. The Kiwanis tok the lead in the first inning when a walk and Oro- peza’s homer produced two runs. The VFW picked up a run in their half of the first when Taylor singl- ed and later scored on a wild pitch. They tied the score in the second at 2-2, but the Kiwanis nine sewed up the game in the third with a four run rally. A walk, | singles by Smith and Oropeza and Valdez’ double featured the rally. The VFW picked up a couple of | runs in their half of the third on a walk to Foley, Tony Estenoz’ dou- | ble and Cervantes single. The Kiwanis iced the game in | the fourth with a five run outburst as a result of two walks and four hits. Oropeza led his team’s attack with a homer and two singles in three trips to the plate. Taylor led the VFW’s offense with a double and single in three attempts. In the second game the Lions continued in possession of first place with an 8-4 victory over the Jaycees. The Lions started things in the | first inning when Mike Drzal, the loops leading slugger, singled home Gil Thrift who had walked with the | first run. The JC’s tied it up in their half of the first when Thrift walked Sandy Snow with the bas- ; es loaded. The Lions iced the game in the second frame with | four runs on two hits, a walk and a couple of infield outs. The Jay- cees picked up a single tally in the third when McMahon doubled | and scored on a passed ball. Two | walks, a fielders choice and a hit Save the Lions three runs in the fourth and the ballgame. four hits for his fourth win of the | season. However, Thrift was in| trouble almost every inning due to | his wildness. He struck out 11 but | walked 10. Snow, the loser, struck | out 13 and walked 6. Drzal and L. | Curry led the Lion attack with two hits each. McMahon paced the Jay- cees with a double and a single in three tries.
