Key West Loses Anoitier ~ By One Run To Lakeland Conchs Garner Fourteen Hits But Fail With Seven Run Rally * This One Didn’t Get Away eee The hapless Key West Conchs i found themselves in a familiar | situation last night in Lakeland | when they dropped another one | run decision to the Pilots, but! only after a stirring seven run rally in the seventh and eighth innings. The score was 10-9. In a lavish display of hurling talent, both clubs paraded three pitchers to the mound. “Viti” Vi- dal started for the Conchs, going out in the 2nd for Rene Solis. Dick Haack came on in the 7th to finish the bal] game. Sinquefield started for the Pi- lots and lasted two frames and then Al Zilian took over. Gene Pereyra came on in the 8th after a five run Key West outburst. Fernando (Trompoloco) Rodrigu- | ~ ez came up with a sparkling one- hit performance Wednesday night to pitch his Havana Cubans to a 20 victory over Miami’s Sun Sox and cut the Miami margin over Miami Beach to a sihgle game in their race for the Florida Inter- national League pennant. “Crazy Top” Rodriguez walked five batters, hit one and needed the help of four Miami errors to best Gil Torres in a mound duel. Torree gave up six hits and both Havana runs were unearned. Miami Beach smashed a dozen hits off Clarence (Hooks) Iott in| St. Petersburg to whip the Sai St. Petersburg to whip the Saints, 4-2; West Palm Beach made it two straight over Tampa, 4-0. A double. and three singles put Miami Beach ahead in the second inning with three runs and the Saints never caught up, lott taking his sixth loss against 16 wins. Winning their second game in three nights under new Manager Charlie Harris was easy for West Palm Beach as Frank Sulkowski allowed Tampa a double and two singles. Mike Vukmire led the In- dians’ attack with a triple and two doubles in four trips, DUGOUT DIGGINGS: Tonight the Conchs meet Lakeland in the finale of a three-game set in that city. Tomorrow night they will be back at Wicker's Field plant for three games with the St. Petersburg Saints. Game time is 8:15. Just what the Conchs will have to do to win a ball game, is a mystery to this writer. Throughout the current road trip. they have been hitting the ball well and have had some fair pitching performances. But they just don’t seem to be pushing the runs across. Eut | nobody seems to be too unhap- | py with the club, Whenever | they have lost one, their op- | ponents have known for sure | that thcy have been in a ball game. As a matter of fact, the Conchs look very good even when they are losing. Infielder Art Bosch has played in the last two games base with Reyes going to first. Prexy Louis Carbonell Nounces that a right har pitcher, Endio Jeminez was sign- | ed in Tampa. Polio Preventive Awaits Proof-Test JACKSONVILLE W — Scareity of gamma globulin and uncertainty | of its effects in controlling polio | are putting a brake on the more | widespread test of the substance,| members of the Florida State Po. | lio Planning Committee were told today. The speaker was Dr. Ford Me Ginnis, Washington, D. C..

Long a deep-sea fishing enthusiast in Key: West waters, Car- bonell caught three nice specimens while fishing in the Pacific near the famed Mexican resort. Considered a small one in that area, the deep sea fighter took about an hour to land. Carbonell said that although the finny creatures abound near Acapulco, conservation rules prohibit the taking of more than one per person in a day. Mexican weather can be foul weather, as Car- bonell reported that out of a week, he had but one day of fish- ing. On one occasion, even the captain of the boat became sea- sick.
