Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, September 3, 1952 i YANKS WHIP SOX TUESDAY By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer ‘The New York Yankees received a quick dividend on their $40,000 investment in Ewell (The Whip) Blackwell. Five. days following the pur- ‘chase of the former National League star from the Cincinsati Reds, the Yankees Tuesday night sent Blackwell to the mound against the Boston Red Sox. And the long, lean righthander respond- ed with’ a.scoreless 5-inning per- formance to rack up his first American League triumph. Blackie was not the overpower- ing pitcher he had been in his days as a big winner with the Reds, but he looked quite capable before bowing out for a pinchhit- ter. He permitted four singles, | Sh fanned four and walked three be- fore retiring because of weariness and the humidity. It was in the fifth, the inning From The © Press Box By, OSCAR MILIAN Speaking of Eddy Zielinski , first baseman Nap Reyes and fence busting left fielder Charlie Harig had the following to say— “‘next spring training we are going to get hold of that kid make him the best pitcher in the league for 1953. “20 minutes a day Pic do it” Conde Nap, BURKE the Conch’s clean-up s; r, Ie % who knows every trick in the game, “there’s no reason why the kid Sitting in the club house after | can’t make it, he has speed and playing 18-holes with Jim Mac-' plenty of stuff in his throws, with Laughlin, pro at the Miami Shores, | a little control the boy will be hard i 1) Di | to beat and we are going to make Frank Biango and Bill Dittmer, | hin the talk of the Florida Inter- this past week-end, at Miami the national League,” concluded Sr. Bench Views By Blackwell left, that the Yankees . ganged up on Boston Starter Sid Hudson for all their runs to win the nightcap, 40, after Rookie Tom Gorman had hurled an 8- hit, 5-0 shutout over the Red Sox in the afternoon portion of the day- night doubleheader. The two triumphs ran the Yan- ~ kees’ winning streak to five and increased their first-place margin over the idle Cleveland Indians to 3% games, The slump-ridden Red Sox, who now have dropped seven ~ of their last eight, all on the road, ~ fell 8% lengths behind the Amer- ican League pace-setters. They have scored but one run in the last 36 innings. ~ Brooklyn’s Dodgers, the National League leaders, fared exactly. the opposite from the Yankees.’ They dropped a pair to Philadelphia's Phillies, 8-2 and 9-3, and were lucky to get out of the City of . Brotherly Love in one piece. Two » dozen Philadelphia hits plus splen- did pitching by Righthanders Rob- in Roberts and Karl Drews cut the Dodgers’ first-place lead over the idle New York Giants to eight « games. Chicago’s White Sox climbed {n- to fourth place vanquishing the Detroit Tigers twice, ¢-5 and 7-4, Rocco Krsnich’s 2-run triple in the ninth won the opener. Marv Gris- som won his 11th in the nightcap. Bench was informed that the mem- bers of that club are coming to Key West at least 40 strong to take back the trophy which the locals won in their recent match at the ores, Jim stated that he hoped that all the players would ‘be matched and also that some of. the wives were bringing their clubs with them in hopes that some of the local women would give them a match. With the women players at a scarcity, this angle may be out. The tournament will get under- way Saturday morning and will consist of 18-holes with the other 18 being played Sunday. Saturday night, a buffet supper with dancing will be featured for the local members and their wives along with the Miami Shores guest. Also the official opening of the Key West Golf Club’s new clubhouse will be the order of the night’s festivial attraction. Brief highlights on some of the players that will make the trip are, Bob Waters, who was a for- mer pro and according to Joe Lopez, Sr., he is a sweet swinger and a great golfer. Little Ed Sharp a scrambler and tough to beat on any course; Perry Willets, Presi- dent of the Shores Club and. shoots consistantly in the. 70's, Earl Clark, club champion, finished sec- ond in the State open, 1951 and also won the Pro-Am pairings at Miami Shores in ’51. He was paired with Joe Lopez that year; Bob Gormly, former club champion and Several times Mississippi Amateur champ. Others -are. Fred Rowe, Harold Neblitt, Harry Walden,.Al Duffy, Joe Solomon, John Wal, Dr, Hum- phrys, Joe Vagters, Vi Taylor and Bob Kiplinger. Local members who have played at the Shores will remember most Washington’s Senators, although held to three hits in each game, ~ won a twi-night twin bill from “ Philadelphia, 3-2 in 10 innings and * 5-0, to dump the Athletics into fifth place, only a half game in front of the Nats. ~ Beach’s Levan _ Clinehes FIL Hitting Title Jesse Levan of Miami Beach is way ahead of his nearest challenger for the Florida International league seems to ascure him ofthe chainp. jonship. His nearest competitor, Earl Brucker of Tampa is the only other three hundred hitter in the Levan. is also leading in five other departments of play. He has scored the most runs, 87, has pro- duced the most base hits, 174, has most total base knocks, 237, of Havana has pil- sacks, 49 and is of these players and it is hoped that all will try to participate in this tournament. If you have not , call Joe and give him your name. Let go all out and make this, the best tournament ever stag- ed in Key West. Miami, Gator Contract Is Yet Unsigned GAINESVILE w—The possibil- ity that Miami can outbid Florida for athletes may be holding up the football contract between the two’ biggest colleges in the state. In a statement of reasons why day night the monetary value of a Miami scholarship “‘is not equalled in any conference with which am familiar, and we shall ne be able to compete with them an equal basis for in-state or out- $40 a month where Southeastern Conference schools, including Flor- ida, can give athletes only month in addition to board, books Napoleon, When Severino Mendez, pulled one of Joe DiMagio’s famous steals, in the third inning of the last game between Lakeland and Key West, (we term it steal because Mendez raced back near the 460 feet wall at center field leaped-in the air about 3: feet to grab Joe Burgos’ line drive with the bases loaded) a kid sitting along side his daddy just a few seats below the press box, asks, “‘Daddy why don’t you do something important like a ball player?” The Father looked at the lad and didn’t answer right away. But later on during the game the Father turns to the boy and says. “Son I’m going to show just how important I am” and the old timer shouts, “everybody stand up!” his command was respected the stands were on their feet. It was the seventh inning stretch! We have two place hitters in the Conchs’ line up. Know who they are? Your guess is correct. They are Nap Reyes and Barney Lutz. Since they are not the type who swing to kill and not looking for 20 or 30 homers in the season, they try, and succeed the majority of times, to hit the ball where there’s no one covering. At times Nap a right handed batter hits to the extreme right field with men on bases and Lutz places ’em over the third base Jine. Barney hits left handed. Although we are at the tail-end in league standing, a move will be made by this column to name the most valuable player for the Key West Conchs in 1952. Several sports columnists in Key West and baseball commentators will be in- vited to attend a meeting for this in the very near future, The player being voted the title will be the receiver of several valu- able and, useful gifts donated by local merchants. The player being voted-most valuable to the Conchs for 1952 will be announced by Roy Hamlin from the announcing stand ‘at the stadium on Sunday night before game time.

After a 2-hour workout topped by a half-hour scrimmage, Louisi- ana State University Mentor Gay- | nell Tinsley said his squad had “a highly successful outing.” Tinsley concentrated on three offensive | units and two defensive squads ‘for the Sept. 20 opening against Texas. Mississippi State picked up strength with return of 6 veterans. | They were Guard John Shepherd, Halfback J. O. Baughman, Ends Don Stewart and George Blanken- ship, Quarterback Harry Massey | and Linebacker Harold Easter- wood. All were on the 1950 team. Coach Johnny Vaught gave his University of Mississippi squad an early bit of contact work. Paul Whiteside and -Houston Patton, both backfielders, are having leg operations checked today to see if they are ready for the season. Tennessee’s Volunteers made up in an afternoon workout what they missed in a rained out morning session. s Pre-Season Favorite Georgia Tech got in a light skull-knocking session. Coach Bobby Dodd said only two freshmen, Guard Frank Brooks and Quarterback Jack Hall, appear up to varsity standards. Lee Hayley was voted captain of the 1952 squad by his Auburn teammates. The Tigers named Bill McMurry alternate captain. The battle for positions continues at Florida. The serious work of blocking and tackling went on un- der a sweltering sun but Tuesday's afternoon drill was cooled by rain. Georgia Coach Wallace Butts says either Derwent angley or Hur- ley Jones will take over the duties of Offensive Center Ellis (Moe) mage Sophomore Halfback Charley Madison scooted 30 yards for the first touchdown of the season. Vanderbilt Coach Bill Edwards says he’ll set a fast pace for his Commodores. “We should have a pretty good idea who cam play football by the end’ of the week,” he added. Down in the Bayou Country, Tu- lane’s squad donned full equip- ment for its first contact work. The 70 candidates for Green Wave positions spent most of their time in blocking, tackling and pass pro- tection drills.

Navy Announces Group B Winner In Entire South Atlantic Region’ Russia Doesn’t Single A-Bomb; By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter CHICAGO (#—“I don’t believe tussia has one single atom bomb.” 2arlton S. Proctor, prominent New York engineer who has worked in Russia, declared today. “I think every one of the atomic explosions in Russia was just a premature explosion, in an effort to produce a bomb.” ~ Proctor is president of the Amer- iean Society of , Civil Engineers, one of 64 engineering societies cel- ebrating the Centennial of Engi- neering opening here today. He gave his views on Russia dur- ing an_interview telling of U. S. engineers’ yast accomplishments in the last 100 years. “(The White House has announced three atomic explosions in Russia, referring to the second one as amplifying further. Other sources have estimated Russia has a stock- pile of 100 or many more A-bombs by now.) Proctor dclares it takes team- work and co-operation to make an |A-bomb work, and that Russians don’t trust each other.

In World War II, he was an Army engineer, a colonel. building the Persian corridor road from the Indian Ocean to funnel supplies to Russia. ¢ “The Russians have no confi- dence in their own engineers,” he sai , d“nadI have never met a Russian engineer who was a Com- munist who was any good.” Soviet jet planes are good, ‘but the Russians go‘ the practical end of how to build them from Ger- mans whom they took over.” “The Russians have brilliant physicists and mathematicians, brilliant purely in theory.

His girl says she’ll wait for him. Marine Sgt. Hugh E. Kidd Jr., 22, Baton Rouge, La., came here on his last week-end before head- ing for Korea. His objective: To propose marriage to pretty Pa- tricia Hayes, 20, a switchboard operator. His search for her led from North Carolina to the Bronx to Boston. Kidd had to go back to his base, Camp Lejeune, N. C., without find- ing Miss Hayes. But Tuesday he received a word that she would be watching for his return. The young marine, who first met the Bronx brunette while she was visiting her sister's home in Baton Rouge a year ago, drove from his camp to New York last Sat- urday. He didn’t find Miss Hayes at her Bronx home, and on a neigh- bor’s advice went off to Boston to bunt her at a relative’s. He made hundreds of calls to Boston Hayes- es without finding her, and finally } started back to camp on Mond: Tuesday, Miss Hayes returned home—not from Boston, but from Laurence Harbor, N. J., where she and some girls had a vacation cot- tage. She found a note from Kidd. It ended: “Goodbye and God bless you. I'll see you in a year or so or never.” Miss Hayes tried for hours to reach Kidd by telephone.

Lamar Caudle proved to be such an inter- esting witness at a closed-door hearing Tuesday that a House in- vestigating committee chairman remarked after it was over that his group “has a lot more work than we thought we had.” “We've got a terrific September ahead of us,” added Rep. Chelf (D.-Ky.) after listening to Caudle for more than five hours. Then he expressed doubt his judiciary sub- commitiee, which has been inves- tigating the Justice Department, will be able to finish its work by Oct. 1 as planned. Caudle, who was the govern- ment’s chief tax prosecutor until President Truman fired him ‘from his job as assistant attorney gen- eral last November, provided some information that was brand: new to them, Cheif said. The chairman .said the discus- sion covered ‘ta lot of cases: and a lot of thing Rep. Keating (R.-N. Y.), ranking minority member of the commit- tee, told reporters that somé of Caudle’s information “related te previous attorneys general,” but he didn’t elaborate. Caudle was brought into the Jus- tice Department in 1945 by Atty.- Gen. Tom C. Clark, now a Su- preme Court justice. Clark was succeeded by J. Howard McGrath, who was head of the department when Caudle was discharged for “outside activity.” Today Caudle, telling reporters he was “delighted to co-operate,” stood by for another private ses- sion with the subcommittee, The time of his next appearance remained uncertain because of a public hearing scheduled today into the recent ouster of a veteran Jus- tice Department lawyer, also for outside activity. But both Chelf and Keating said Caudle may be questioned again before the end of the day, They said they expect eventually to put him on the witness stand at a public hearing. Among witnesses called for to- day’s hearing was James A, Mul- lally, long-time attorney in the Justice Department's Criminal Di- vision, who resigned after his re- cent suspension by Atty.-Gen: James P. McGranery, Meanwhile a federal grand jury was assembled today to begin look- ing into the government’s 1946 public auction of the St. Johns Riv- er Shipyard at Jacksonvilley Fla. The plant, disposed of as war surplus, was valued at about 19% million dollars, and oo Me pr the Tampa Shipbuilding » for $1,928,500. The purchasing company was largely owned by Louis E. Wolf- son, now chairman of the board of Capital Transit Co., operating surface transportation in Washing- ton, D. C.
