Cubans Edge Conchs Friday, 3-2; Season Ends Tonight GE GAINS TIE * Whe Key West Conchs who have a strange addiction to losing ball games by one run, did it again Jast night when the Havana Cu- bans captured a 3-2 win over them in Havana last night. George Vidal, making his first start since his nuptial.ceremonies at Wickers Field Wednesday night lost a tough one when Tony Pach- eco stole home in the seventh in- ning for the winning counter. Tonight the Conchs close out the season with @ double header a- gainst the Cubans in Havana, They will return here for a much await- ed meeting with a picked Key West All-Star team on Sunday evening at Wickers Field. Interest is at a high point and a goodly turnout is expected. The tough pennant battle be- tween the Miami Sun Sox and the Miami Beach Flamingos will still be unsettled when Florida Interna- tional League teams square off for their final games tonight. Miami, leading by a game and a half, can win the pennant with a victory over St. Petersburg, re- of what Miami Beach does in a doubleheader at Tampa. But if Miami loses to the Saints and Miami Beach takes both of its games, the race will wind up in a tie and a three-game playoff will be necessary before the post- season Shaughnessy playoffs can get under"way. ‘The Sun Sox guaranteed them- selves. at least a tie by beating St. Petersburg, 4-1, Friday night Oscar Sierra delivered Miami’s ry in the first inning when he a tun home ovrer Barnhill, Miami Beach Ne- gro righthander, posted his 14th win of the season in the opener with Tampa and scored the win- i extra inning on an error and scored on a single by Jesse By Nestor Castenada Teleco won their second straight ‘start in the Island City Softball League last night when they cop- ped the first game of a double header at Bayview Park from the USS Manuel, 10-5, Telco built up an early lead when they pushed across all of their runs in the first four innings. They picked up a run in the first when Dick Barber singled, took second on a wild pitch and scored on Al Cabot’s single to center. They added three more in the second on a hit batsman, a walk, dn error, and Barber’s second straight hit. In the third, a walk, a hit batsman, an error, Billy Davidson’s double and Barber’s third single produced four more Telco runs. They picked up two more in the fourth on singles by Cabot and Castro and two errors. The Manuel got their first hit off Davison in the third when Doug- las tripled and was out trying to stretch it into a homerun. In the fourth, however, Dority’s homer, a walk and Kilpatrick's double netted them three runs. They added three more in the fifth on a walk and singles by Hetrick, Armstrong and Shealy and a pair of infield outs. Barber led Telco’s attack with Southeastern Gridders Are Drilling Hard By The Associated Press Full-dress scrimmages were on tap today in several Southeastern Conference football camps as coaches moved swiftly to get their squads in shape for mid-September season inaugurals.

"s bout was telecast na-! Friday’s workouts ranged from a light, limbering up drill at Au- burn to lengthy, heavy scrimmag- ing at Vanderbilt and Alabama. Mississippi State and Tennessee concentrated on passing. Quarter- backs Bobby Collins and Jack Parker impressed Murray War- math, State’s new tutor, while Bob Neyland had special praise for Tennessee Tailback Pat Oleksiak. Louisiana State scrimmagers dis- appointed Coach Gaynell Tinsley with their lack of timing, and the Tigers’ boss slated a lengthy drill on fundamentals for today. “Rough and ragged” was the estimate of Vandy’s long, hard workout. Most of the participants were reserves. Coach Bill Edwards said the Commodores need better second-line strength to meet the test of a rugged schedule. At Kentucky, Coach Paul Bryant promoted 25 freshment to the Wild- eat varsity squad after observing a long blocking drill. Coach Johnny Vaught devoted most of his time to a critical defensive end situatin at Missis- sippi. Ale”ama’s Bobby Wilson, whose punting was the class of the con- feretice last year, proved he had Tost none of his skill, booting better than 50 yards consistently. Florida attention was centered on four center candidates, only one of whom has seen SEC com- petition.
