To Take Series The hapless Key West Conchs dropped the second and third games of their three game set with the St. Petersburg Saints over the weekend, when the visi- tors captured an 8-3 win Satur- day night and came back to win Sunday’s tilt by a 10-7 score. In both contests, St. Petes gained the wins after the Conchs found themselves in a position where they just couldn’t buy a Saturday night, the Saints coasted in on a 14 hit attack that shelled starter Dick Haack from sacks.

Chickie DeSouza also had a good night at the plate with a trio of safeties. In Sunday's game it was the same old story when the Key Westers built up a comfortable lead only to see it whittled down by the Saints. Rene Solis started on the hill for the Conchs. The visitors plated a single score in the sec- ond frame and the locals came back in the same inning to plate three and take a 3-1 edge. With two gone in that inning George Vidal singled to start things off. Frank Dunlap immediately scor- ed “Vidi" with a whistling triple to the fence. Art Bosch drew a pass and Rene Solis kept his stick reputation with a clutch single through the hole to score Dun- lap. Bosch scampered all the way to third on the hit and scored on a double steal. Solis was thrown out attempting a steal to end the uprising. | St. Petersburg came back in the fourth with a single counter but Key West increased their edge in the same frame with two more tallies, Managef Bill Herring relieved Hooks lott on the hill for Saint; Petes after he issued four passes | to the Conchs in the fourth.

The Japanese 800 - meter free- style team. smashed. the third Olympic swimming record in three days of competition in the Olym- ly pool by winning its qualifying ‘The youthful Japanese team was composed of Yoshihiro Hamagu- chi, Hiroshi Sazuki, Toru Goto and Teigiro Tanikawa, The United States team also qualified comfortably for Tues- day’s finals along with Sweden, Hungary, South Africa, Argentina, France and Great Britain. Other Olympic swimming rec- ords broken so far are the men’s 100 meters free style, in which Clark Scholes, Highland Park, Mich., was timed in 57.1 seconds in a heat enroute in winning the first tank championship for Amer- iea, and the women’s 200 meters breaststroke. Two Hungarian wom- en, Eva Szekely and Eva Novak, have turned in Olympic record times of 2:54 in trials. The final is scheduled Tuesday. Otherwise it was a quiet morn- ing on the Olympic front.

Florida International League averages published last Sunday still fail to show the correct num- ber of homers hit by Chuck Harig away the ball hit the bat and went foul, Severino complained to the umpire (Albury) that the ball had his his hand but the ump contended the pitch was foul and so it went. Rene Solis came in to take the out- fielder’s position at bat and smashed a single to left center as Mendez was forced to retire for the night.
