CONCHS BOW TO TAMPA, 10-2: DUNLAP HITS HOMER Red Barrett Gives K.W. But Five Hits The Key West Conchs ran head- on into the Tampa Smokers last night and when the smoke, of bat- tle that is, had cleared the visitors walked off with a 10-2 victory. Tampa got to a trio of Conch hurlers for a total of 12 hits to capture the verdict. Frank Dunlap’s second home run blast in a week, in the fifth inning, was the only bright spot in an otherwise dreary Key West picture. Eddie Zielinski started on the hill for Key West, going out in the fourth after giving up six hits and three runs. The Tampa _ scoring started in the first when they plat, ed three men on three fielding lap- | ses and a brace of singles by Leo- nard Pecou.and Benny Fernandez. A big seveg run fifth inning for ‘Tampa, put the game on ice. Tom McCall who took over the Key West pitching chores in that frame gave up three safeties, going out in favor of Dick Haack who set the Smokers down with just three hits in the remainder of the contest. Chickie DeSouza singled in the sixth and Nap Reyes brought him home with a long double for the only other Conch score in the ball- game. Reyes, Dunlap and DeSouza were | the only Key Westers to hit the Dall safely in the contest while Tampa’s Pecou was fattening his | batting average with a trio of base hits. ~ Barrett, showing his usual hair- line control, struck out three Conehs while walking but one in gaining the five hit win. The Miami Beach Flamingos, battling to overtake Miami’s Sun Sox in their Florida International League pennant drive, moved into Miami stadium today for a two- game set that could put them on top. The Flamingos won their 10th game in 17 starts with Miami Tuesday night, 2-0, for their fourth triumph in a row and handed the Sun Sox their third straight loss. The Flamingos now trail by one game. Juan Menjido smashed a home run and single at Havana to pace the Cubans” 11-hit assault on Don Van Nest and Gene Pereyra. Lake- land led by 5-3 going into the last of the seventh when Havana came up with five runs on a walk, three singles and Menjido’s homer. West Palm Beach Manager Char- lie Harris did the honors at St. Petersburg, scattering 10 hits and leaving 11 runners stranded. West Palm Beach got only four hits off Joe Kirkland but a walk, an error, Gus Montalbano’s single and Butch Lawing’s double netted two runs in the second and the Saints could- B’t catch up. DUGOUT DIGGINGS: Tonight the same clubs go at it again with the Conchs gunning for a chance at evening up the series. Game time,is 8:15. ‘ Last night’s contest was delayed for some time when the lights failed to function. Workers from the City Electric system toiled for 2 hours to them in shave and one would have thought Nap Reyes had hit another homer judging from the Plaudits of the crowd. Charley Harig was back in this @sual left field position last night. Good deal. One of the Conchs more rabid fans, Serge Milian, son of official scorer Oscar Milian is following the fortunes of the Key West team, from a vantage point many miles a@way—on the Korean battlefront. Although he has never seen the local club in action, Oscar keeps him up to date on the fortunes of the club with box scores and clip- ings daily. We hope it won't be long before he is rooting for them in person, ADD TO Conchs Bo TAMPA Mott, 2b Gonzales, ef 2 & > Girls: You Don’t Have To Ride A Donkey To Play 16 Inch Softball KW girls who are interested in the newly formed sixteen inch softball league, but have been hesitant due to a belief that the game is played from the backs of donkeys, may rest their fears —the sport is played without the aid of the critters. Frank Wayne and Doris Evans, who are the organizers of the new loop, say that many girls have phoned them asking about the game. The misunderstanding came about, because sixteen inch soft- ball. in some parts of the country areas it is known as’slow pitch is known as “slow pitch’. and in other areas is known as “Donkey Ball”. i Wayne reports the receipt of many calls from girls say- ing they had no urge to mess with donkeys.

Red Barrett, Tampa twirler, and Nep Reyes engaged in some ver- bal dueling during the game last night. Barrett started things off by addressing Napoleon as “biejo” (Old Man) and stopping him in his his shoulder, spat back at Red, “What about you?” The visiting players were kept busy through the late innings * protecting themselves from scor- pions in the dugout.

Rich Field Set For Hambletonian GOSHEN, N. Y. — The classi- est field in Hambletonian history is slated to line up today for the $87,637 trotting derby at Good Time Park and the railbirds are convinced Duke of Lullwater can grab the rich plum if he tends to business. Sixteen horses will step out be- |hind the mobile starting gate in the first heat at 2 p. m. (EST, with the Georgia Duke from Walter T. Chandler’s Lullwater Farm at Decatur the early 3 to 1 favorite. But none of the Grand Circuit veterans jamming steaming, hu- mid Gosehn will climb onto a limb for anything in the star-studded lineup in this 27th Hambletonian. Eight or nine of the three-y olds entered are quite capable of barging home with the $47,236 first money, Duke of Lullwater, the 1951 juvenile trotting champion, must overcome a so-called Goshen jinx, for he has lost only four races in his career—and all of them in this home of the Hambletonian. In fact, he’s never won a race in Goshen. The odds-makers posted Hit Song as the 4 to 1 second choice. Hit Song, owned by E. Roland Harri- man and E. T. Gerry, New York, and L. B. Sheppard, Hanover, Pa., is the baby who knocked off: the Duke four times, twice last year and twice this summer. The Duke showed temperament here in July, but since has returned to top form. One Thousand To Compete In Nat'l Amateur Golf NEW YORK (#—More than 1,000 were called but just 175 lucky ones were chosen today to make the trek to Seattle for the national amateur golf championship on Aug. 18-23, And if there fs going to be a dark horse in the field of 200 at tee-off time—there were 25 exemp- tions — he will be 35-year-old Charles Makaiwa, the champion of Hawaii, who showed them all how it was out on the Pacific by firing an eight-under-par 68-66—134 at the Ws">lae Country Club in Honolulu Tuesday, So the members of the Amer- i ip teams and those from Canada and Mexico, all of whom were exempt from qualifying, will have something to look forward to when they meet Makaiwa. The United States team includes such worthies as Defending Champion Champion Harvie Ward and for- mer British titleholder, Frank Stranahan. If he makes the cross-country ; trip, the youngest player in the tournament will be John Berry Jr. Tallahassee, Fla. He’s just 14 and shot a 71-74—145 in Tampa to lead | that section when the top man, | Harry Root Jr., announced he would not participate because of business commitments.

And then the Giants and Dodg- ors, favorite sparring partners for years, had to hook up in a five aour struggle that lasted well into the wee small hours.

Bob Lemon allowed only four hits in winning the opener, 60, his 13th victory.
