Conchs Spl Lakeland: * Key West Takes Sat. Contest, 6-5; Pilots Win Sun., 8-5 The Key West Conchs gained a split over the weekend in a pair of contests with the Lakeland Pilots when they captured a 6-5 @ecision Saturday night and drop- ped a Sunday evening verdict by an 8-5 margin. A man named Lutz was the mar- gin of victory Saturday night when his big bat and inspired base run- ning gave the Conchs the edge in a ballgame, the result of which was in doubt right’ down to the wire. Lutz,with a double, a pair of , singles and a stolen base Saturday night did not confine his offensive work to that ballgame when he came back in Sunday night’s losing * outing with a single, double and triple. Barney got credit for three RBIs over the weekend and person- ally scored five counters, In a hard fought contest Satur- day, the Conchs jumped into an early lead only to see it eaten up before they finally regained the edge in the eighth inning to cap- ture the win. Barney Lutz, with two out in the first frame singled to right field. Barney pilfered second on Lakeland twirler Van Nest’s first toss and went all the way to third base.on a throwing error on: the part of the Lakeland backstop. Nap Reyes’ single pushed Lutz t2Games Witi utz Shines tere@ the ballgame in this frame and went out for a pinch hitter soon thereafter. Rene Solis finished the game on the mound for Key West. Lakeland made the most of their nine hits while the Conchs exploded for fourteen. Control, or lack of it was the decidiffg factor in last night's set to, with the Conchs giving up an even ten free passes. While rain ‘idled the persistent Miami Beach Flamingos, the Mi- ami Sun Sox tightened their shaky Florida International League lead Sunday night with a 6-3 victory over Havana. But they were still less than a full game in front. A four-run outburst enlivened by a double steal in the seventh in- ning gave Miami its win over the Sun Sox had the bases loaded when Humberto Fernandez stole home and Jim Bragan swiped third base. Then Rocky Rotzell broke from first base and as the throw to sec- ond in an effort to catch him went wild, Bragan also scored. The St. Petersburg-Miami Beach game was rained out. Earle Brucker homered in the in trouble frequently as he issued seven walks and wild pitched two runs across.

Earlier the Conchs had gone into the van with a brace of scores when Mendez opened the game with a single and went to third on another one bagger by Carlos DeSouza. Barney Lutz plated him with a two bagger and in turn romped home on Charley Hargis’ single. However, Lakeland took ad- vantage of starter Eddie Zielinski's wildness in the second inning to ¢lick for three runs. Indio Jimenez assumed the mound duties in this frame. Key West pulled within one run @f the lead in the third when Lutz singled and came around on pokes by Reyes and Harig, both singles. Lakeland increased their edge in fhe fifth inning when Stewart and Watercutter caught hold of a pair | ef gopher balls which went for bome runs.

Said he, “If the economy of America fails, the entire economy of the free world and the entire free world will col- lapse with it. We must maintain our economy.” He said that 85 per cent of the money goes to Korean warfare or defense for the future. Quoting fig- ures like an adding machine he said that Congress had “made some strides and we were able to achieve some slicing in military expenditure.” He continued, saying he was dis- couraged about the balancing of the federal budget. “It is equally as important to balance the budget as to maintain military defense.” He explained the increase of prices due to higher taxation and that to prevent inflation “‘the only answer is to curb the amount of spending”. He told of cuts in the military pro- gram and said emphatically, “Un- less we take drastic steps in Con- gress, we are going to be faced with a never ending deficit and never balanced budget.” After citing more statistics which proved that action of Congress sliced some of the “fat” off of appropriations bills he stabbed at the Secretary of the Defense, say- ing he could “easily cut out some of the fat we found instead of ap- pealing to the predjudices of the people” when they were reminded that less taxes meant fewer jets ind less ammunition for the boys Korea. He instructed his listeners to weigh the facts he presented when the automatic checking of the bud get was put into effect.

Joe Lopez, Jr., Wa Tyson, George Carey carried away the top honors while Joey Jr., and Hy Altman split’the Blind Bogey with a 75. An ititeresting thing happened coming off the back nine that some will enjoy hearing about.
