The Conchs garnered a total of 13 base hits off Pereyra’s slants and Lakeland could touch three | Conch hurlers for but 12, but it was the same old story of strand- ed Key West base runners when they couldn’t push in the scores. Manager Barney Lutz drove in all three Key West markers with singles. In the “first, Severino Mendez doubled and came in on Lutz’ single. The same happened in the third and in the sixth Lutz singled again to bring in Mendez who had walked. Lakeland scored in the second when Charlie Glock doubled. In the fifth the Pilots exploded for six runs on seven hits. Gene Stewart doubled in the seventh to score two more. Dick Haack started the game on the mound for Key West and went out in the fifth inning in favor of Eddy Zielinski. Gaspar Delmonte came on in the seventh to finish the ball game. Of the 12 Lakeland hits, 5 ‘were doubles. Tuesday night, Miami’s Sun Sox whitewashed Havana's Cubans, 1-0 for their 29th shutout of the season to erase a record written by Ha- vana in 1949. Young Billy Harris allowed Ha- vana only three singles in register- ing his 17th victory and eighth straight shutout. Oscar Sierra's home run over the leftfield wall with two out in the seventh pro- duced he only. score. The win lifted Miami two games in front of Miami Beach as the Flamingos bowed to St. Petersburg, 2-1. In other games, West Palm Beach walloped Tampa, 12-5, giv- ing all home teams victories.

The women’s broad jump mark of 5.69 meters (18 feet 8.02 inches) | was subjected to a mass assault and was smashed by four girls, one an American, within a short |time after competition started. | Yvette Williams of New Zealand got off the best jump of the early | 2,52 inches), nearly two feet be- | yond the old Olympic standard, | established in 1948 by Olga Gyra- mati of Hungary. The women’s broad jump was added to the Olympic program for the 1948 London games. Right behind Miss Williams in the qualifying for this afternoon’. final came Mabel Landry, Chicago, with a jump of 19 feet 3.50 inches. Two Russian girls, Aleksandra | Chudina and Nina Dtjerkina, also exceeded the former record. All three American entries quali- fied for the javelin throw final without removing their sweat suits, which served as protection agai raw, cold weather. Franklin (Bud) Held, Lakeside, | Calif., former Stanford athlete, got | Off the best American toss, 225 feet 1.63 inches. Cy Young, Mo- desto, Calif., did 220 feet 8.03 in- ches and Bill Miller, Phoeniz, Ariz. threw 212 feet 7.62 inches. The | minihurn qualifying distance was | 209 feet 11.74 inches. | Walter Ashbaugh, Cornell Uni- | versity athlete from East Liver- | vool,, O., and Jim Gerhardt, San | Antonio, Tex., qualified for the | final of the hop, step and jump |in the first half of the field. Ashbaugh cleared 47 feet 10.41 inches in the triple jump and Ger- hardt 49 feet 1.777 inches. A dis- tance of 47 feet 8.44 inches was required to qualify.

Toivo Hyytiainen is the Finnish champion. He and his teammates, Soini Hikkimen and Eino Leppa- nen, all threw the spear more than 70 meters (about 230 feet) in the Olympi¢' trials. Any one of them could break the 20-year-old Olym- pic record of 72.62 meters (238 feet 7 inches) held by another Finn, Matti Jarvinen. Records have been broken so often in the first three days of track and field—eight out of the | first 12 events — that the crowds have come to regard anything less than a record as a pretty poor show. Three more new marks went into | the books Tuesday. Sim Iness, Los | Angeles, pulled a real surprise by | out-throwing defending Champion Adolfo Consolini in the discus with | | | record 55.033 meters (180 feet 5.885 ' | inches) Bob Richards, Laverne, Calif., j raised the pole vault record to within a fraction of 15 feet when he cleared 4.55 meters.

And that, too, came within one pitch of being accomplished. The star (or is it victim?) of that pitching feat was Virgil Trucks, already the author of the American League’s sole no-hitter this season. The Detroit Tiger righthander gave up just one hit, a single by Eddie Yost, in hurling the Tigers to a 1-0 victory over the Washington Senators. Yost’s hit came on Trucks’ first pitch. It was a slow-moving groun- der between short and third. Trucks held Washington hitless May 15- winning 1-0. Other highlights Tuesday in- cluded: New York’s Yankees swept a | doubleheader from the vanishing Indians before 57,666 crushed Cleveland fans, 7-3 and 8-1, to in- | crease their firstplace margin over | Boston’s Red Sox to five games. Vic Raschi won his 11th game and ninth straight in the opener and Allie Reynolds captured his 12th victory in the nightcap. Bob Feller and Steve Gromek were the losers. | Bobby Shantz continued on his way to his 30-victory goal, pitching the Philadelphia Athletics to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Browns. Shantz yielded eight blows for his 17th triumph against three losses. | Dave Koslo registered his fifth ; Straight success over the St. Louis Cardinals this season, his 12th in a row over them in three years as the New York Giants earned | a 3-2 triumph on Hank Thompson’s | 2-rum homer in the sixth. Brooklyn's Dodgers met a 4-run 10th inning by Cincinnati with a 5-run outburst of their own to nip the Reds, 7-6, and retain their 7%4- | game bulge over the Giants in the National League. Ken Raffensberg- er, third Cincy pitcher of the in- ning, hit Rube Walker with a pitched ball to force over the win- | ning run. Vern Bickford and the Boston Braves spotted the Chicago Cubs a 4-0 lead on Dee Fondy’s grand- slam homer and came back to win, 64. Sibby Sisti batted in three runs with a homer and single. The Philadelphia Phils climbed to the .500 mark with a double win over Pittsburgh, 14-4 and 8-1, and moved to within a game of the fourth-place Cubs. Rookie Dick Gernert rapped a 2-run homer in the 13th to give Boston a 4-2 triumph over the Chi- cago White Sox. | Deland Gains 4-1 Win Over Leesburg By NEIL GILBRIDE Associated Press Staff Writer The DeLand Red Hats, playing the same kind of steady baseball that has kept them at the top of the heap in the Florida State ‘ League this season, beat Leesburg 4-1, Tuesday night. roe oo gave up only five its, all in the first inning, to defeat the Packers.
