iami Sun Sox Shade On Three Run Ninth Innin *. > ; H Dunlap Homers, Vidal Triples In Close Ball Game {tt looked for a time last night as though the Key West Conchs had a victory over the league leading Miami Sun Sox, but a big three run ninth inning rally by the Sox gave them a 6-5 edge | in the Miami Stadium. Key West, boasting a two run cushion ran into trouble with two out in the ninth when third baseman Dick Gray singled and pinch hitter Gil Torres drew a pass. Shortstop Humberto Fer- nandez then singled to drive in Gray who sneaked home under a throw from Charley -Harig in oleft field. * Murphy and Fernandez then scored on a single to left field by Jimmy Bragan. Miami had pulled into a one- gun lead in the third frame and added another run in the fourth. Key West came back to tie it up fn the sixth when Frank Dunlap lofted a long home run over the right field wall. Severino Men- dez, who had singled, scored ahead of him. The Conchs took the lead in the seventh when George Vidal tripled to score Nap Reyes, who had earlier singled. They added ““two more in the eighth on four hits. The Sun Sox who garnered 12 safeties for the evening got ten of them off the slants of starter Dick Haack who went out in the ninth with two down in favor of Rene Solis. The Conchs hit 10 bingles off two Miami twirlers. Dunlap and “Vidal were the hitting stars for the Conchs while Fernandez and Sierra led the Miami onslaught. Miami Beach chased seven run- fers across the plate in a wild 13th inning to win its opener with West Palm Beach. The Flamingos scored in the fifth and sixth to win the second contest, called after six innings because of the 11:50 Pp. m. curfew. Although outhit, the Lakeland Pilots shut out the Tampa Smokers 8-0. Tampa got adi. mereee for it hits and ble oS inning but the’ thied and eighth.

Two teams representing the pick of players who graduated from Florida bigh schools this year joined the weather man in proving that Friday night. © The North All-Stars beat the fe vored South team 14-6 with a com- bination of Jack Hardy's kicking, Gene Cox’s running and an alert defense sparked by John Griner. But the big difference in the game came when the South stars fumbled five times in the first half. Two of them figured in touch- downs for the North forces of Coach Don Cobb, Ocala, North went 42 yards to score after South fumbled two plays after the game began. Cox, Lake City, went over from the 9, The other North touchdown came when Grin- er, Jacksonville Lee, stole the ball from the arms of Wally Piper, Miami High, and stepped one yard over the goal. Another two points for North re- silted from a safety. Larma Ellis, Lake City, tackled Dick Albrecht, Miami Edison, in the end zone. South got its lone score on a 52- yard march, mostly Piper’s pass- ing. He scored it with an end run from the 4. Neither team could convert after touchdown In the second half both teams slowed down from the 80-degree heat and neither made a serious Attendance was to date in the four game series which now has been won twice by each the North and South, e Kiwanis Nips JayCees In Little League The Kiwanis stopped the lea leading Jaycees 6-1 in the first game of a Little League double- header Thursday night at Bayview Park and, moved within a half a game first place. If the Ki- wanis can stop the Elks Saturday in the last game of the season, they will tie the Jaycees for first place and necessitate a playoff. In the second game of the doubleheader, the Lions bounced back by defeat- ing the Elks 24-1, Danny Oropeza pitched brilliant ball as he set the Jaycees down with one run and two hits, as he struck out 6 and walked 2. The Jaycees scored their lone tally in the first inning. After Oropeza struck out Bryant Williams, the first batter, he let Eugene Guite: rez’ bunt get away from him for a error and shortstop Roy Valdez made an error on Manuel Perez’ grounder, to put two men on base. Joey McMahon then singled into right center to score Guiterrez. Or- opeza then struck out Pubi Car- bonell and Sergio Puig was out second to first. Oropeza proceeded to hold the Jaycees hitless and runless until the last inning when McMahon got his second hit of the night, but was out at second when he ran over the bag on a fielder’s choice. The Kiwanians got to Sandy Snow for 6 runs on 5 hits, three of them doubles, as his teammates committed 9 errors. Snow struck out 7 and did not walk a batter, but timely hits and costly errors caused his downfall. Danny Orope- za, Richard Sawyer and Graves hit doubles and Robbie Knowles and) Roy Valdez beat out infield hits! for the Kiwanis. In the second game, 4 Elks pitchers walked 17 batters and! gave up 9 hits, two of them dou-; bles, and the Lions took advantage of S errors to rack up 24 runs Mario Martinez led the Lions at bat with 3 for 3, for a perfect night, driving in 3 runs. Mike Powell hit two for 3, as Wayne Key and Robert Pazo hit doubles, and/ Mike Drzal and Nilo Garcia each| got. a single. Robert Pazo pitched! wonderful ball as he limited the Elks to 1 run and 1 hit, as he struck out 10 batters and walked 2.

OGDEN, Utah (# Rusky, young Rex Layne bulled his way over ex-Heavyweight Ezzard Charles Friday night in a ten-round decision which threw the Charles camp into an uproar. Jack Dempsey, the former world heavyweight champ who was the referee and sole judge, held Layne’s hand up in the victory sign as thundershowers deluged Ogden Stadium, Immediately afterward, Charles’ co-manager, Jake Mintz, rushed into the ring, berated Dempsey that “this is the louisiest decision I've ever seen.” Later, Dempsey told a reporter that “I called them just like I saw them. I’m sorry that Mintz or anyone else didn’t like the de- cision. I'm sorry.” Layne weighed 195 and Charles 190 for the outdoor fight which Promoter Ken Mayne said drew more than 23,000 fans. Mayne said he would not have an accurate count until later but estimated the gate would top $150,000. Each fighter will receive 35 per cent, Layne, always strong with his right, showed a potent left hand as he doggedly kept after the elu- sive, left-jabbing Charles. The fight tempo hit its hottest pace in the eighth round when both fighters landed telling blows. The 31-year-old Cincinnati Negro flicked a left which cut Layne’s lip fn the ninth. Charles kept bor- ing in at a fast pace, behind his sizzling left, and the battle ended in a last-round flurry. Golfers Poise For Junior Amateur EUGENE, Ore. (® — Golfers were arriving here today for the seventh annual national junior am- ateur golf championships, spon- sored by the U. S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. More than 140 junior golfers from 43 states, Hawaii, District of Co- lumbia and Canada were expected to be on hand for the inaugural! competition Sunday afternoon when long hitters vie for the Jimmy Thomson trophy for the longest drive. Among competitors will be two who already have won nationaljun- ior titles this year—Donald Bis- plinghoff, Orlando, Fla., and Edie Meyerson, Los Angeles. Bisplinghoff, 1950 Florida State amateur champ, defeated Meyer. son 2-up for the USGA junior title at New Haven, Conn., earlier this summer. Meyerson earlier won the Hearst invitational at Albany, N. titleholder, Lt. Everette Lewis oldest until now. He was 70 when he won with Volo Song. | Race Wire Tapper To Be Prosecuted MIAMI # — William Dorn, electrician accused of hijacking , Associated Press-race wire results, will face ‘federal as well a wire tapping charges. i As nt District Attorney Fred Botts said warrants would be is ate sued Monday charging Dorn with| » tapping wires of the Southern Bell | Telephone Company to intercept racing news being relayed to news- | papers. .
