St. Petersburg Gains Close “There Have Been * -Some Changes Made” In The — Conch Roster By JIM COBB Citizen Sports Editor The less said the better about the St. Petersburg Saints’ 19-3 wictory over the Key West Conchs Monday night. The Conchs proved to be their own worst enemies when they kicked the, sphere around a total of 11 times to hand the victory to the visi- tors on a great big silver platter. A revamped Key West infield made necessary by the suspen- sion by League President Henry S. Baynard of Napoleon Reyes, the recall to Tampa of Chickie DeSouza and the latin tempera- ment of Rene Solis, was the big factor in the defeat that sent @ large portion of the gallery home early. Although the Saints got only 11 hits off the slants of George Vidal, Indio Jiminez and Eddy Zielinski, they managed to score almost at will ‘to ice the game. As usual, the fans climbed all over Barney Lutz, singling him out for censure every time a class D ball player making -like a pro kicked one around. Just why Lutz gets it in the neck, we don’t know. The only face saving inci- dent in the ball game turned out to be Charley Harig’s fifth inning circuit clout which tied him with Havana's Claro Duany for the lead in that de- partment. But the way the league's official statisticians are kicking the figures @round, Charley will be lucky if he gets ten on the books. With the loss of three key men in the Conch inner line of de- fense, we can expect little bet- ter from the locals, from here on down to the finish. Here is the story on the changes, as we have it; Reyes, to gain his release from Havana earlier in the season, is said to have offered Joe Cam- bria a thousand bucks for the piece of paper that allowed him to go out and make a deal for himself. Cambria says that Nap hasn’t come across*~with the pesos. Of course it could be 9 little of “the Cuban magnate’s skullduggery with a view to peddling Nap to someone. Chickie DeSouza was returned to Tampa, who wants him to aid them in their stretch drive. While Key West had what amounts to an option on DeSouza, they evi- dently did not ‘intend to pick it up. As for Solis, the poor boy got a mad on and picked up and went home. Seems amental Cuban that he was not support that he superior ability so he didn’t bother for last night's game. here, what kind of this when a ball can get away with that behavior? (We imagine Rene will get off with more than a slap on from = poppa Ray Or maybe they'll give him a bonus and ship him to Miami Beach. We hear that they have a weak spot in their platoon. Joe Ryan is & mere 22 men). Get- to Solis, we think he idea the his Wednesday night, which will mark the final appearance by the Conchs in Key West, has been designated Vidal night with George taking his wedding vows at home plate preceding the game. A host of other surprises are in the process of being plan- ned by the Conch management to make the finale a gala occa- sion. ‘Reason ‘for the Wednesday might finale is the fact that the Havana series will be played there as originally scheduled due to the Cuban’s commitment with the Grand Stadium owners.

Tuesday, September 2, 1952 ‘YHE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page $ HARRIS WINS KW GOLF CLUB TITLE YANK LEAD AT By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Jupiter Pluvius may have a hand in deciding the American League pennant this year. | No, Jupiter Pluvius is not an. | other castoff plucked by the New York Yankees for their stretch | drive although he proved to be as helpful to the world champions as Ray Scarborough, thé refugee from the Boston Red Sox. The two combined to increase the Yankees’ first - place margin to 2 % games over Cleveland Mon- day night. Scarborough, purchased last week from the Red Sox, hand cuffed his former mates with three hits, pitching the New Yorkers to a 5-1 triumph. Mr. J. P., otherwise known as Old Man Rain, helped the St. Louis Browns defeat Cleveland, 2-1, in the second game of the double header after the Indians had won the opener, 9-3. This is how. ruthless Old Man Rain finally succeeded in dampen- ing the Labor Day holiday spirits of the luckless Indians. After halt- | ing the nightcap for an hour and 12 minutes in the bottom half of the fifth inning with the home team Brownies ahead, 2-1, the rain fihally let up. St. Louis failed to score in the fifth and the Indians rallied for three runs in the top half of the sixth to take a 4-2 lead. As the Browns prepared to bat in their half of the sixth, another rain storm broke and this time there * Five Under Par TWO ONE-HALF GAMES MONDAY was no letup. As a result, the three runs were wiped out and the score reverted to the fifth inning with St. Louis winning, 2-1. Rain washed out Brooklyn’s scheduled twin bill in Philadelphia but the Dodgers retained their 9- game lead in the National League as the second-place New York Giants divided a doubleheader in Boston. The Braves came back to win the second game, 5-1, after the Giants had captured the opene er, 3-1. In addition to washing out the scheduled twin bill between the De- troit Tigers and White Sox in Chi- cago, the rain, which swept the Eastern Seaboard, forced the Yan- kees and Red Sox to call off their two afternoon games in New York. The Yankees, however, man- aged to salvage something by play- ing one of the games in the even- ing to mark the first time a Labor Day game ever was played at night. But for a first - inning home ‘run by Billy Goodman, Scarbor- ough would have had a shutout. Splits marked all other double- headers. Philadelphia’s fourth - place Athletics won a 10-inning 9-5 opener from Washington but the Senators came back to take the nightcap, 4-2. Cincinnati emerged with a split, winning the second game, 3-2, af- ter the St. Louis Cardinals had walked off with a 6-0 opening win. Chicago’s Cubs thrashed Pitts- burgh, 6-0, but the Pirates won the second game, 5-4. GEORGIA TECH’S DODD RATES S By The Associated: Press Some of those college football players must have been training during the summer. Or maybe Bobby Dodd of Geor- gia Tech is merely resorting to a little reverse psychology. He looked over the first drill of the season Monday and said he liked what he saw. Usually coaches don’t sound off ia that fashion. But Dodd hedged to the extent that Tech’s team has a huge psychological problem to overcome by being picked as the top team in the conference. Then he came right out and said Tech would need a good quarter- back to replace Darrell Crawford, if the team is to get anywhere this year. Coach Bob Neyland also was pleased with the condition of most of the 126 who went through first- day antics at Tennessee. To balance such heresy, take a look at what Coach Paul Bryant said after watching his Kentucky squad work out. “They have no conditioning, no leadership, no spirit and no talent,” he lamented. “We might be lucky to get a bunch of them in shape for the eighth game thsi season.” Presumably he included alt of the 114 men who labored | through four hours of drills. In New Orleans, the Tulane | hopefuls got a hint that they are expected to use their heads for something other than growing hair. Coach Raymond Wolf told 70 can- didates to get short haircuts to | keep the hair out of their eyes. Did | he mean, in addition, to keep their eyes open and on the ball?
