Flamingos Wallop KV! Friday, 13-5 To Keep Lead 13 Runs In 4th Inning Swamps Conchs; Vidal Hurt In Smashup , The Miami Beach Flamingos may have set a record last night at the expense of the luckless Key West Conchs when they came |, long way—to a pitcher’s dream:: through with a 13 run splurge in the 4th inning of a rain shortened eontest to take the win 13-5. Every member of the Beach club crossed the plate at least once during the fatefull inning with Co- lombo, Levan, Platt and Wilson scoring twice. - The outburst was featured by a 380 foot home run blast by the Jes- se Levan whe is pacing the FIL batting race. There-was one man aboard at the time. After that, 15 of his mates paraded to the plate — i of them scoring. The Conehs, who used four twirlers in an effort to stem the tide, picked up their runs in the firgt inning when Charley Harig strolled and eld pre Nap Reyes poked a tremendous home run blast out of the Wickers Field plant. They picked up three more in ‘the third stanza on three singles by Dunlap, Solis and Willie Felder and @ trio of walks. Gaspar DelMonte started in the contest, going out in the fourth frame after five hits. Solis, Haack and Jiminez then. came in to at- tempt’ to stem the tide. Jiminez twirled creditable ball up until the time the rains came in the top of the seventh. - Andy Elko, relieving Dick Mac Millan who was injured in a colli- sion with Key West’s George Vidal, in the third frame muffled the Conchs with just one hit. The Flamingos were three per- centage points ahead of the Miami Sun Sox today in the Florida Inter- national League race for first place. . U ‘The Sun Sox beat the West'Palm Beach Indians 4-0 to stay very much in the face. In other games the Havana Cubans took both ends of.a double-header from the Lake- land Pilots 4-3 and 1-0, and St. Petersburg scored its ninth straight victory by beating Tampa 5-3. _, The Miami Sun Sox had things their own way most of the time against the West Palm Béach In- dians, A triple by Dick Gray, sin- gles by rca’ Bragan and Hum- berto Fernandez,and a three base error by Gus Montalbano led to the scores. The Havana Cubans made the most of three errors by Lakeland to score their four runs in the nightcap. Two of the runs came on throwing errors by Watercutter who twiee threw into left field try- ing to pick runners off the bases. ‘Angel Scull of Havana was large- ly responsible for the 1-0 victory in the opener, stealing four bases, two of them in the third frame when he crossed the plate with the winning run. St. Petersburg chalked up its vie- tory. over Tampa, thanks to Billy Seal, who drove in all five of their runs. DUGOUT DIGGINGS: Tonight the Conchs come back with fire in their eyes in an attempt to even up the series. Chico Morillo is slat- ed to get the nod for the Flamin- gos while the Conchs will come back with either Louis Carbonell or Joe Cabrera. Ray Ryan will re? ceive their tosses. Game time is 8:15 p.m. Videl and Dick Mac- Millan collided last night in the third inning with a thud that could be heard on Duval Street. MacMillan had hit a@ roller to first base that Vidal picked up end raced for the bag. Both were knocked cold in the resuit- ing ceilision.

The Buffalo righthander tossed the perfect game in racking up a 2-0 International League victory over the Baltimore Orioles here Friday night. It was only the second perfect game in the history of the league, and the eighth on record in ‘the history of professional baseball. Marlowé, a tall, soft-spoken 23- year-old who has been in pro ball only five years, couldn’t get very excited about it. “I knew I had a no-hitter in the top of the seventh, but I didn’t know until the game was over that there weren’t any walks and no- body got on base. “I didn’t feel any different than- in any other game,” he said. ‘ “When the fans started holler- ing at the start of the seventh, ‘Go spoil your no hitter,’ I just said to myself, ‘Okay, here it goes.” “I don’t think I tensed up much. I just kept throwing them. My fast ball and my change ball were clicking. That’s all.” Both Marlowe and his roommate, Joe Erautt, who caught the per- fect game, said a shortened stride developed the last few days, was most responsible for Dick’s im- proved game. He had a 6-7 record before Fri- day night. . Marlowe, a native of Hickory, N. C., exhibited uncanny control, He fanned only four hitters, but most of the others either popped up his tantalizing curves or tapped out weakly to the infield. Only five balls were hit to the Buffalo outfield all night. means plenty to him also. Talk about much ado about nothing. We think the only mistake Oscar made was in listening to Kleinberg and Ed Little’s impassioned appeals.

Woman Killed MIAMI PA was between utomobdties . Dead was Mrs. Rreoks Leffing well, Miami. Among the injured were her son and grandson. By GENE Misters Lutz, Ryan and De Poo held a party Thursday evening at the stadium known as Wickers, Guests of honor were Maxie Macon and his sunny stockinged lads from Mami. A more cocky band of tee- tolers we have never seen -utside of Ebbets Field. Equally noticeable was their derisive criticism of their surroundings. One actually gained the impression that these Miamians would not have even appeared on the scene if they hadn’t been com- pelled to do so. In due time the Maconites con- descended to associate with our lads and as an opening gesture, one Senor Torres, began by tossing butterflies, Now anyone who has ever witnessed the Senor toss and flies with such remarkable accur- acy will know he is usually the life of the party. In fact, Gilberto was doing a bit of alright, in spite of a few rocks in the elbow, until he developed lady fingers and a few butterflies of his own. Thus about an hour before midnight, Maxie of the Midmi Macons decid: ed the time was propitious for some powder-puff offerings and straightway stode into the spot- lighted center of the art Offerings from the port side are supposed to confuse Mr. Fireplug Harig but never the less the stubby gentleman did manage fo swat a Macon offering and reach the first station in baseball life. Where upon Maxie Macon surveyed his surroundings only to find a Conch at every cornér. What a scene! What an opportunity for Maxie of the super-confident Macons. He of the powder puff pitches and port Licks Daytona By F. T. MacFEELY Associated Press Staff Writer Chuck Aleno, bidding for ho1e. run honors in the Florida State League, might get a little nod in the pitching departmént too. Friday night Aleno smashed -his 24th homer of the season and went to the mound to pitch shutout ball for two innings to give Sanford a 9-8 win over Daytona Beach. Dusty Rhodes hit his 14th homer to help the Sanford cause. In other games, DeLand beat Orlando, 7-4, and Cocoa beat Jack- sonville Beach, 4-2. Rain wiped out Leesburg at Palatka. Dick Dotson’s shutout relief pitching plus some timely hitting by Red Roberts and Charlie Brew- ster gave DeLand’s Red Hats their victory. Orlando got only two hits off Dotson after he came to the mound in the fifth inning. Roberts with W double and Brewster with a single drove in three runs in the eighth that provided the victory margin. Tom Mills’ bid for his 27th win was spoiled when the Jacksonville Beach Sea-Birds made five errors behind him. Mills was the best defensive player on his téam with nine assists. Gene Kolker got three of the 10 Cocoa singles off Mills, while Lou Klein was holding the Sea-Birds to seven hits, “PITCH AND CATCH” GRAHAM * side curves! But alas! A villan strode to the dish. That pride of Conchtown! None other than Napoleon Show boat Biejo “Slugger” de la Reyer of which there is no other in th: vicinity. Maxie boy disdained to participate with such an uncouth and begrimed individual but the dictates of Jose Aleman and the | Boys in Blue are compelling. Re- luctantly, Maxie tossed plateward one of his best curves. What a dandy! What a twister! The best curve Napoleon Reyes has picked out of the ozone in, recent days or nights. The rude Mr, Showboat de- posited the offering one arm’s length inside the restraining line on the left and there was much joy in the Stadium known as Wickers. The Conchites went wild. All the pentup rancor and emotions of the Miamian’s stay was loosed upo the guests. Raspberry marmalade was thickly spread on the toast and forced upon the aloof visitors in large doses, To say that they accepted the pastry and pasting like gentlemen would be a rank misquote that only- Mr. Howard Kleinberg could think up. The cocky, confident and condiscending Miamians were most chagrin, erestfallen and cussing. Stubby Harris, he of the one-hit fame, cer- tainly needs the soap and water toothpaste treatment. Oh, the things he said! And Howard Klein- berg, he of the erroneous report- ing, was a wee bit disappointed too. How could a froth of a lad, who has not yet reached voting age, utter stich oaths and not switch to Cu- ban occasionally? Oh it was col- lossal! It was victory. JayCee Golf Finals Set For Today EUGENE, Ore. (#—The final 18- hole round of the National Jaycee Junior Golf Tournament opens to- day in a dead heat between a 16- year-old Floridian and a 17-year- old Californian. Donald “Scotty” Fraser, Pana- ma City, is the Florida youth. He shot his second straight round of par on the Eugene Country Club Friday. Tommy Jacobs, Montebello, is the Californian. He came through im the pinch to tie Fraser at 217, although it took a birdie on the 18th hole to do it. Jacobs was two under par for the The two were playing together, and Fraser still held the two-stroke advantage he had all day when par five hole Fraser hit a fairway shot into a tree, and the ball sailed out of bounds for a two stroke penalty. Jacobs did not let the opportu- nity escape. He whistled a 200- yard iron shot to the green, then got down in two putts from 30 feet away for a birdie that closed the wap. Fraser had to play carefully to on the hole, ending with . Jacobs had 70.

But the men of Durocher are finding the Poor Richards customers. The Giants of 1952 have looked like champs against the pace-set- ting Brooklyn Dodgers and third place St. Louis Cardinals, taking 21 of 33 decisions from the two. Agginst the last four teams in the league, Chicago, Boston, Cinci- nati and Pittsburgh the Giants have managed to win only 38 while losing 25. Brooklyn on the other hand has feasted at the expense of the chron- ie losers. The dodgers have won 53 and lost only nine games to the Cubs, Braves, Reds and Pi- rates. Against the rest of the league the Dodgers have captured 19 and lost 27. The Giants blew a fine oppor- tunity Friday to gain a big chunk of ground on the gers by split- ting a twi-night doubleheader with the sixth place Braves while the Dodgers dropped an 8-3 decision to the Philadelphia Phillies. By winning both games the Giants would have advanced to within 6% games, instead they trail by 7%. Larry Jansen appeared to have the opener in the bag as he had a 2-0 no-hitter after seven innings but he lost his stuff and bowed, In the American League, the second place Cleveland Indians cut the front-rumning New York Yan- kees’ advantage to two games.

The final ‘score after two days of play was 12 points for the U. S., 5 for Mexico and 10 for a Canadian team that made a courageous but~ futile bid in Friday's singles match- es. Walt McElroy, Vancouver, beat husky Frank Stranahan, Toledo, 4 and 3; Jerry Kesselring, Kitchen- er, Ont., whipped Harvie Ward in a match that went 38 holes; and Nick Weslock, Windsor, Ont, bumped lean Charlie Coe, Okla- homa City, 3 and 2. These upsets were too few and too late after “The Boy,” 21-year- old Ken Venturi, San Francisco, had whipped two opponents to put the U. S. clouters on the victory trail. Although they split with Can- ada, the winners came within one match of making a clean sweep over Mexico in six contests. troit were not scheduled. The Yanks out-hit the Red Sox, 12-6, but stranded nine runners in bowing to Sid Hudson and two re- lief pitchers. Johnny Lipon’s bases loaded single in the seventh broke a 1-1 tie and won the game. Harry Simpson tripled home Ray Boone with one out in the 12th to beat the Browns at Cleveland. Bobby Shantz, the major’s big- gest winner, suffered: his hardest lacing of the season but posted his 2ist win for the A’s. The Senators got 14 hits including home runs by Jackie Jensen, Ken Wood and Ed Yost, but Bobby won anyway.
