_ steal, th Indians Edge Conchs Friday, 3-1; Key West Faces Havana Here Tonight Indians Rally With Two Out In Seventh To Gain Win A big seventh inning when they scored all of their three runs gave the West Palm Beach Indians a 3-1 victory over the Key West Conchs last night in West Palm. Rene Solis went all the way for the Conchs, giving the home club but eight hits, but Sam Brewer du- plicated his effort for West Palm to gain the win. Brewer pitched himself in and out of trouble in the eighth when Severino Mendez led off with a sin- gle but was forced at second by Chicki DeSouza. Skipper Barney Lutz then hit a ground ball to first base and Weiss, trying for a dou- ble play, threw wildly to Gus Mon- talbano allowing DeSouza to ad- vance f third base. Nap Reyes | * Junior League Champs scored Carlos with a onebagger to | left field, but the threat was trased with a sharp double play. | - In the seventh inning, Solis had retired two Indians when Gordon Bragg singled to left to open a ral- ly. Fritz Luciano singled to send Bragg to second. Bragg scored on an infield error and the bases were loaded when Weiss was passed in- tentionally. George Menard singled to plate the second and third coun- ters, Mendez, with a double and sin- gle and Senor Napoleon Reyes with two singles were the hitting stars in the contest. The Miami Sun Sox gained an- other full game in their Florida International League baseball duel with the Miami Beach Flamingos Friday night when they swept doubleheader with Lakeland, 3-1, and 7-4, Miami Beach split with Havana, losing the first game 3-2 and win- ning the second 7-0, and now trails the Sun Sox by three and one-half. games. Gil Torres led Miami to its vic- , tory in the sevep-inning opener with a three-hit pitching perform- ance. The Sun Sox jumped off with two runs in the fitstining when Max Macon and Paul Arm- strong, who had started a double both scored after a wild row to home plate, Havana scored in an extra eighth inning to defeat Miami Beach in their opening game, which. was scheduled for seven frames. Angel Scull opened the eighth with a sin- gle, adyanced on a sacrifice and @ ground-out, and scored on a sin- gle by Mike Guerra. Miami Beach came back to shut out the Cubans in the second con- test. George Handy and Jesse Le- van led the assault with homers over the right field fence. Hooks Iott pitched a four-hitter to lead St. Petersburg to a 9-2 victory over Tampa. The current Conch home stand will them in a total of seven contests and local ton- sils will certainly get a work- out with the Conchs’ arch ri- vals — Hav.na furnishing the opposition. When the Cubans leave, the Tampa club will move in — and _ everyone knows what happens when the Cubans come to town, The Key West mangaement has announced that they have obtained offices in room 507 in the La Concha Hotel. And Hank Day has been appointed publ city manager for the club. We, per- sonally think these moves are for the better. Day has a wealth of experience in baseball, be- sides knowing all the finer points of baseball wr'ting. The Conch uniforms have been returned from Miami where new lettering was applied. Good deal!

He tacked his 65 on to an open- ing 67 for a 132 total to keep up a pace that could shatter the rec- ord Tam O'Shanter 72-hole tourna- ment score of 269—19 under regu- lation—set by Byron Nelson in 1945.

Those were the most significant developments of a light morning of competition that served merely | to clear the way for the big doings this afternoon in the last day of major competitions in the 15th Olympic Games. The scrappy Chilean basketball team upset Brazil 58 to 49, revers- ing the decision of their earlier meeting that dropped the favored Brazilians into sixth place. The United States and Russia meet in the title game this afternoon. In water polo, Holland over whelmed Spain 7-1 and Belgium splashed to an unexpected 3-3 tie in a pair of games for teams in took , fifth place, Belgium sixth, By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer * Rookie Jim (Dusty) Rhodes looks like the man the New York Giants | have been waiting for since Willie Mays marched off to the Army. With. seven home runs in 10 games grad gives Manager Leo Durocher needed strength in the outfield to help the club’s latest drive on the league-leading Brooklyn Dodgers. With Rhodes a fixture in left, and Monte Irvin back in right field, Durocher made the final move to tighten his outer defense Friday night when he shifted Bobby Thom- | son from third base to center field. | Hank Thompson moved from cen- ter back to his old third base job. Leo's latest ‘operation shake- well” produced the desired result. Irvin, making his first appearance in the starting lineup since he broke his right ankle in a spring exhibition, drove home the first run in a four-run exolosion against Pittsburgh’s Harry Fisher, in the first inning.

Their high scratch single game of 806 and team set of 2238 will be hard to beat in the three remaining games of the summer loup. The, week’s high game was rolled by this team’s Ruby Caldwell with 185 pins. Bunched right behind were the high games of Ginny Ko- raska, wl.o contributed 176 pins to the N. S. CPOs, Dottie Brown and Vi Donlan, who each had a 175. High individual set, 502, was chalked up by Vi Donlan. The seemingly unbeatable “Chopper” continued to hold their lead with 21 points, after winning all three games from SubRon Wives. USO-NCCS re- mains in second place with 14 ‘points, after defeating the Nav- Sta CPOs for all points. Thursday’s rieeting was the scene of a regretful and some- times teary farewell to the league's secretary, Dottie Brown, who has done so much for ‘he Teague and for women’s bowling generally, in this area. During the past several years Dottie has been the guiding spirit of the Jeague, and has given unstinting- jy of her time and efforts. It was she who was responsible for getting official sanction for the league from the W.LB.C. The Browns will leave this week for duty in San Diego, and they carry with them the best wishes of their many friends in Key West. The members of the league were called upon to vote for a secreta: fill. thie,cum= — term, em 7 Winnie Mum- phrey, of the team, was ‘lected. School Gridders Searching For Backfield Star GAINESVILLE (# — The search was on in earnest for tailbacks among both North and South play- ers on the Florida high school all- star football squads, who went into their second day of practice today. The game is scheduled in Jack- sonville the night of August 8. Both teams will run from the single wingback formation and the offensive key to that attack is a back who can run, pass and punt. Both coaches, Ish Brant for the North and John Edison for the South, are concerned about the scarcity of passers. Brant, Jacksonville Fletcher coach, is a little more satisfied about the punting problem, princi- pally because of Jackie Hardy, a small but proficient kicking expert from Pensacola High School. “Chopper” A four run rally in the second inning gave the Navy All-Stars a 5-2 victory over the Key West All-Stars in an exhibition game played at Bayview Park Thurs- day night. The Navy jumped on DeWitt Roberts, Key West ace for the four runs early in the second ine ning when Franklin led off with a single. After Morgan and Haas walked to loac the bases, Rob- erts struck out Suprenant and Wells, but with Rogers at bat, Roberts delivered a wild pitch which scored Franklin, Roberts then dumped a Texas League double into left field to score Morgan and Haas. After Holmes walked, Pilla doubled across Rodgers with the fourth run of the inniig. In the third, Key West picked up a run when Earl Smit. walk- ed, and -took second on a passed ball. He scored on Robert Las- tres’ single to ‘eft field. Franklin’s secon. straight hit and Morgan's triple t+ righ: gave the Navy their fifth run off Roberts. They were held score- less the rest of the game by Donny Williams who toox over the mound chores and Clint War- ren who relieved Williams in the seventh. The Key West All-Stars picked up their final tally in the sev- enth when Don Cruz tripled to center field and scored moments later on a wild pitch. Key West threatened in the eighth when, with one out, John Cruz singled to left field but Holmes’ perfect throw nailed Lastres when he attempted to slide home. Cruz was then thrown out at third when he overran second base on the throw in. Franklin, the Navy Hill ace, was never in trouble. His amaz- ing curve ball had the Key West batters baffled as he hurled his second consecutive victory in two night:. He led his own cause with two singles in four tries, Rodjers and Pilla each had a 7 Ba 298 Navy attack. Lastres had two ‘singles in three official trips to the plate to pace the Key Westers in that department. In the first game, VX-1 pound. ed out a 10-4 triumph over the Naval Hvspital. It was the sec- ond straight loss for the Hos- pital. Clark led the VX-1 attack with a double and single in two tries. The New Engiand Tennis Pa- trons Association gave the New England LTA several tennis kits containing 24 racquets for use in the free tennis clinics con- ducted by the New England body. Edison, coach at Plant City, in- dicated his top flight passing pros- pect at the moment is Henderson Wilder, a youngster he coached at Plant City, while Brant thinks his best hope might lie with Charles Coleman of Jacksonville Jackson. The best-known South tailback is fast-moving Wally Piper, 1951 high school star from Miami Senior but the darkhorse in today’s work- out seemed to be Dick Albrecht of Miami Edison.
