ZEN Thursday, August 7, 1952 Tampa Edges Key West Tuesday, 7-2; Vidal Hurls Four Hit Relief Stint *: Smokers Take 2-0 Edge In Series; Single Game Set For Tonight After jumping into their usual early game lead, the Key West} Conchs saw it eaten up by the third place Tampa Smokers last night, when they went down to a 1-2 defeat for their second straight loss in the current three game ser- ies. The Conchs scored single count- | ers in each of the first two innings, but the visitors came back with a pair of socres in the second and} third frames to coast along to the | victory. Conch starter Gasper DelMonte/} was blasted from the mound in the fifth after the smokers had touched him for three straight singles in the second inning to liven the count. Following a base on balls ton Hank Andersohn, Orlando Varona, Bitsy Mott and winning hurler Ro- gelio Martinez slammed out singles to overcome the Conch edge. In the third inning a walk to Hi- ram Gonzalez and singles by Herb Chapman and Earl Brucker netted two more scores for Tampa. They also scored single runs in the fifth, eighth and ninth to gain the win. Key West: netted their first run with a strong start in the opening frame. Severino Mendez opened with a two base liner to center field. Chickie DeSouza followed with a single to the same spot. Nap Reyes then poked a single to right field to score Mendez. DeSouza was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on the play. Vidal took over the Conch hurling chores in the fifth stanza and pro- ceeded to retire five of the first six Smokers to face him on strikes’ “Viti” allowed two runs and four hits iff the four innings he ‘hurled. Fernandez,,.with a double and single, paced the Tampa 12 hit attack. The Conchs, hit 10 safely in the contest. Walt Nothe Miami. h’s topped @ arise of briiliant pitch- ing performances in the Florida International League Wednesday night with a no-hitter through nine innings but lost the game to Miami in the 10th, 1-0, His opponent, Billy Harris, gave up four hits in hanging up his 19th victory of the season and ninth shutout. Harris has lost five. Lakeland’s Bill Boyette horse- collared Havana’s Cubans on one hit and the Pilots won, 3-0. Hooks Tott allowed two hits as the St. Petersburg Saints shut out West Palm Beach, 7-0. Nothe hurled perfectly through seven and two-thirds innings until an error let a man reach first. Jim Bragan led off the Miami 10th with a single. Paul Armstrong sac- rificed and Rocky Rotzell followed with a single to score Bargan with the only run of the game. The win put the Sun Sox two games in front of Miami Beach. Boyette retired the first 13 Cu- Dans to face him and walked his first of two baters in the fifth. Chino Hidalgo singled in the third and Butch Lawing singled in the ninth for West Palm Beach’s only hits off Iott, who hung up his 18th win against eight losses. St. Petersburg rapped Alex Patterson and Tom Petler for a dozen hits and sewed up the game with two runs on three singles and a sacri- fice in the first frame. DUGOUT DIGGINGS: Tonight, the Conchs meet the Smokers in the finale of the three game set in a single game slated to get under- way at 8:15 p.m. The Conchs, who left 11 men stranded on the basepaths seemed to have their usual trouble in this department when they could score but two runs on 10 hits. | One of the biggest rhubarbs to take place on the Wickers field bat- tleground started in the first inn- ing last night when the Conchs strenuously objected to Tay- lor’s decision when DeSouza at- tempted to score in from first base on Reyes single. The Conchs journey to Miami to- night for a series with the loop leading Miami Sun Sox. And chan- {ces are, the unpredictable locals will give the leaders a real hard time. They return here on Tuesday | for a three game set with the same | club. Player— Pecou, rf _...

Even if he is “43 and going on 49”, as some folks say, Satchel Paige of the St. Louis Browns still has the stuff to bewilder big league hitters. Let there be no* doubt about it. If Paige had spent his career in the majors, instead of knocking around the exhibition circuit in the Negro leagues, he would have been a sure thing for the Cooperstown Hall of Fame. Satchmo chose to desert the bull pen Wednesday night for a starting role—the second time he’d tried it this year. Even youngsters wilt in the late innings but not Paige. Locked in a 0-0 duel with Detroit’s Virgil Trucks, he pitched nine shut- out innings. After Trucks gave way to a pinch hitter in the 10th and Hal White took over, Paige still was in there ‘ing goose eggs at the Tigers in the 10th, 11th and 12th. Bob Nieman’s bases-loaded sin- gle with two out in the 12th finally got him home with a 1-0 win, his Bench Views By JACK K. BURKE Several golfers from this area have entered the West Coast Flo- rida open Golf Tournament at Bra- denton, August 22. Besides Joe Lo- pez, Sr. who in the past hag at tained many prizes and awards and now seeks another, will be his son Joey Jr., eighth of the year. The box score | pot. showed only seven hits for the Tigers—six of them singles. Satch- el walked only two and struck out nine in his brilliant effort. In the 10th the Tigers loaded the bases with nobody out. Paige made pinch hitter Johnny Pesky and Johnny Groth ground into force plays at the plate, Then he struck out Neil Berry on three straight called strikes. Masterson pitched the Washington Senators to a 6-4 vic- tory over New York, striking out i1_Yanks. The loss shrunk the Yanks’ lead to three games because Cleveland won its day game from Chicago, 1-1 for Early Wynn’s 13th victory. 1 on Billy Cox’s home run off Hambletonian Set For Today: GOSHEN, N.
