V-8 engine that powers the Chrysler New Yorker is the most remarkable feature of this remarkable car. It is certainly the most discussed automobile engine in many, many years. This is the engine with hemispherical combustion chambers . . . the engine that gets more power out of every drop of gas. And non-premium gas at that! Actually, it puts you in control of more power than you'll probably ever need use. You'll sense this . . . together with its unequaled response . . . the very first yards you drive. It runs smoother, more quietly, WAXD YN and with less wear than any other engine ever built into an American automobile. and it makes driving (both cruising and the short runs) more fun than you have ever known it to be! But that’s not all. Along with this engine there are scores of other reasons, too, driving a New Yorker before resolving any new car.

Orlando scored first in the second inning, but DeLand came back to score twice in the same inning and never lost the lead. Jacksonville Beach's Buster Ki- nard slammed a two-run triple in the 10th inning to beat Sanford. Joe Angel went the route and held Sanford hitless the last five in- You could look the whole town over, trying to learn who buys it... who sells... who rents . . . who repairs.

The loser was George Kenis, who gave up all.18 hits before he was relieved in the 10th. Eddie Gasque pitched a seven- hitter for Daytona Beach’s win over Cocoa, which was sold earlier in the day to its president J. V. |K’Albora, and a group of Cocoa | business men. Harry Murdock, jowner of the club since it was |formed, sold it for.an undisclosed | amount. In the game, Cocoa Manager Pep Rambert was hit in the head by a pitched fast ball in the ninth inning. He was taken to Halifax Hospital where authorities said his condition was good. The Palatka Azaleas worked four hits into thre runs to beat the Leesburg Packers.
