FLAMINGOS TRAMPLE -CONCHS TUESDAY NITE zx kk NATIONAL ALL-STARS BITTER AS AMERICANS SAY RAIN WON GAME kkk VIDAL, RODRIGUEZ GIVE UP ELEVEN HITS AS MIAMI BEACH WINS, 11-2 The Key West Conchs, fresh from a victory over the loop lead- ‘ng Miami Sun Sox ran into trouble agamst tne second place Miami Beaeh Club last night when they dropped an 11-2 decision to the Fla- mingos. The Beach teed off on Conch starter George Vidal for nine safe- tles in seven innings before he was relieved by Augustin Rodriguez who allowed four Flamingos to hit safely. The Conchs got to Bob Palmer | 386. for 10 hits but couldn't bunch them to push across the needed runs. Jack Caro paced the winning at- tack with three hits in four trips. Rene Solis, holding down the first base position for Key West had a banner eveing at the plate with three hits in four tries including a two bagger. Nap Reyes pounded out two safeties including a fourth inning double, The other extra base blow for the Conchs was De- Souza’s double. Top teams in the Florida Inter- national League turned back their pursuers Tuesday night and bat- ters all along the line fattened their averages with 84 base hits. ‘The weak-hitting Miami Sun Sox got only nine hits in a double- header but won both games, 3-2 and 3-0, from the West Palm Beach Indians, who collected 13 hits. St. Petersburg edged Lakeland, 6-5, in 10 innings on Roger McKee’s two home runs; Miami Beach thrashed Key West, 11-2; and Tampa whipped Havana, 5-3. Miami got only three hits in the first game off Sam Brewer and Jim Magnatta while Labe Dean spaced seven but the Sun Sox eked out their 19th win of the season by one run. They have lost 14 by | the same margin. The Sun Sox made six safeties off Alex Patterson in the finale, the same number the Indians col- lected off Billy Darden and Lowell Grosskepf. The double victory lifted Miami to three games in | front of second-place Miami Beach. Lakeland got 10 hits off three | Saints pitchers but Hooks Iott won his 13th game against four losses | when McKee homered in the 10th. His circuit wallop in the third sparked a 5-run outburst for the Saints. Dale Matthewson hung up Win | No. 15 against six losses for Tampa but needed help from Red Barrett in the seventh when Havana scored | three times.

Don’t they \like it when the shoe is on the other foot?” “I suppose the raindrops carried | those two home-run blasts by Jack- lie Robinson and Hank Sauer over the wall,” the indignant National Leaguer continued. “If anybody has a beef about the rain, it should |be us. They would not have scored j either of their two runs if the ground had not been wet and slip- pery.”” Earlier Manager Stengel was asked to what he attributed the | American 3-2 defeat in Tuesday’s | | because of incessant rain. “I ain't blaming anybody,” the gnarled old skipper of the New | | York Yankees said at first. Then ventured, “maybe, the ‘rain.’ ‘an’t tell what would have hap- | | pened if we'd played out the game. I had some good men on the bench ready to send in, guys like Mickey Mantle, Vic Wertz, Ferris Fain | |and Eddie Yost.” There is no question that the rain and muddy field marred the | play, but it didn’t appear to ham- per the pitchers and it had little | effect, if any, on the National League sluggers. | Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet would have prevented Sauer’s ter- rific blast from clearing the wall with Stan Musial on base in the |fourth inning. | That mighty home run, a 430- foter that landed atop the roof and bounded out of the premises, equalized the 2-run splurge of the | 2 MILL TAX CUT (Continued From Page One) and the four-tenths of a mill for the health center. The reduction in millage from 11.5 last year to 9.5 this year was only made possible by the large cash balance on hand as of Sep- tember 30, 1952. This will amount to $222,874.25. Adams said, “This is the larg- est balance in the history of plus come from? You gentlemen recall that under the new budget set up, four funds were combined into the general fund at the start of the fiscal year. Balances in those funds at the end of the last fiscal year ex. ceeded the estimate. Race track allocations this year far exceed- ed the estimate; beverage and occupational licenses were great- | er and | collected some thous- ands of dollars of delinquent tex- es which had accumulated on the books. Plus careful spending. Adams pointed out in his mem- lorandum to the commissioners that this surplus of cash on hand enables the Board to spend for items including the following: “Give to the incoming sheriff his request for two jailors, matron, two road patrolmen; two patrol cars, and four mobile two way radios for the road patrol cars, sheriff's car and one deputy.” Allen Opposes Sheriff Increase Commissioner Joe Allen pro- tested hotly the increase in more than $25,000 asked for by incom- ing Sheriff John Spottswood. “I am all for law enforcement,” said Allen, expense of two uniformed road patrolmen asked for by the Sheriff elect. I object to the pur- chase of two new cars, the salaries of two new road patrolmen, two jailers, a matron at the jail and other items requested.” The salaries of the new traffic officers comes to $8,220; of guaras } | at the jail, $5,840, of the two new cars, $4,500, and four two-way radios, $2,400. When asked if he would make a motion to incorporate his ob- jections, Allen refused, saying he would rather hear the other com- missioners discuss the problem. Commissioner Bentley who had hotly objected to the increase in salary for County Legal advisor Paul Sawyer from $4,800 a year to $6,000, and of the $15,000 allo- cated for County Engineer John Goggin, stood up for the in- creased Sheriff's department ex- penditures saying: “This county is 125 miles long. We have never had proper law enforcement on the Keys. A miil and one-half for law . enforce- ment is very cheap. We ‘should have this increase.” and gave the Nationals their seventh win in 19 clashes and }Manager Leo Durocher’s first in “ |three attempts. Stengel, who has whipped the Nationals in the last | three World Series, has now} dropped the last three All-Star | | games. | Coming on top of the robust 4- bagger belted by Jackie Robinson jin the first inning, Sauer's blow ‘proved for the third consecutive year that the balance of power jhas definitely swung towards the older circuit, The sluggers did not steal the entire show. The brilliant Bobby Shantz, 140-pound leithander of the | Philadelphia Athletics, pitched only | the Fifth Inning but covered him- | self with glory by striking out three | of the National League’s best hit ters—Whitey Loekman, Stan Mu- sial and Jackie Robinson. Bob Rush, Sauer’s teammate on |the Chicago Cubs, was credited | with the decision.

Bentley asked for inclusion of ten voting mi in the budget to handle the © ased number of voters in theabiunty. “Should one of our machines break down, we'd really be on the spot,” he said. “There are oniv 27 voting machines for our 17 county precincts. Thirteen of our precincts take up all of the ma- chines.” Commissioners said it wasn’t feasible to try to get new ma- chines for the Presidential elec- tion and that the matter can come up in 1954. Health Problems: Despite the increases in other appropriations, and the earnest plea of Dr. R. Dalton, Monroe County health officer, for more money on the basis of serious a $2,560 increase was granted the | health department of Monroe | county.

The ac- cused is said to have led the sail- ors to a house on Eaton Street and after taking the money, disappear- i down an alley without return- When Thompson was arrested he was found to have two wallets on his person. The sailors testified that he had given them the name and number of a local cab driver who was later found to have noth- ing to do with the affair.

Allen said: “We are tired of being gypped on road b:ulding. Before Gi ggin was hired to supervise road building, we were being gypped. Someone has to supervise con- tractors and see whether they | are putting marl, not conch shells or garbage in as fill on the roads.” 3 Allen brought out wha’ he said is his favorite plan, that the | County have its own road de- partment and build its own | Toads. “Let's build small roads for small people.

Va., Tuesday meeting Demo- cratic leaders. He told newsmen MacArthur “admits we need jfriends in the world and. yet he ‘in fact demands that we go it alone.” Kefauver, campaigning in Du- luth, Minn., said MacArthur him- self is responsible for some of the Korean situation which he blamed on the Democratic administration. Meanwhile Sen. Richard B, Rus- sell of Georgia, another Democrat- ie aspirant to the presidency, ap- peared to make a hit with Arkan- sas delegates to the Democratic National Convention opening in Chicago July 21. At a meeting in Little Rock Tues- day, delegates applauded when Harvey G.

Russell asked for second-choice backing. Kefauver’s campaign headquar- ters claimed that the Tennesse. senator will have 403 delegate votes pledged to him by the time the Democratic convention opens. Russell, earlier this week, claimed about 300 votes. Nomination re- quires 616 votes.
