March 6, 1953 Sunday night the local baseball season will get underway official- ly when Jim Farr, entrepreneur of the Florida Hobes, a major seague club in rags and bags, has scheduled a banquet at the Flame restaurant following his . teams’ two game series with the Cleve- land Indians farm agregation. A trio of the finest all-time great major league baseball play- ers will be guest speakers at the affair, including Red Ruffing and Tris Speaker. The public is in- vited to attend the affair for which tickets are avail@ble at the Safe- way Travel Agency, 606 Duval Street. Birdie Tebbetts, originally slat- ed to pilot the visiting club will not be able to make the trip be- cause of Mrs. Tebbett’s illness, it was learned today. The Cleveland roster will in- clude Baby Joe Davidson the In- dian’s $100,000 bonus baby. Herb Bcore, another Indian bonus play- er has been optioned to the Tus- con club and will not appear. Jimmy Bloodworth and Indian farm. cirector Mike McNally, will accompany the club here. And speaking of Speaker, who serves as a goodwill ambassador and minor league training camp tutor for the Tribe, this Cohch be- lieves that he is the finest center fielder in the history of the na- tional pastime.

A heavy underdog, the winner came from behind like a streak to gain the win and pay a hefty 21.00 for her efforts. Foothill also made a | strong bid, finishing just a half length ahead of the fa- vored Resonator. Foothill re- turned 7.60 and 3.80 while Resonator paid 3.20. In an evening marked by heavy payoffs, Raven Beau- ty and Burnished Blade {came in to pay 166.80 while the Quiniela on the first race returned 136.00 and the se- {cond, 116.20.

The loss drops them from the competition and winds up the 1952- 3 basketball season. South Broward, by virtue of last night’s win will ace Redlands to- night there in the second round of the sudden death tourney. It was failure of the Conch shoot- ing eyes to click last night that cost them. the verdict but the work of one Bobby Lodenthal, who drop- ped in a total of 28 points for the evening for the South Broward cause also was a factor. Loden- thal scored 17 of the 27 points the Conch’s opponents managed to garner in the first balf of the con- test. The Conchs held the Browards even for the first quarter but a second period in which they scor- ed but three points coast them the ballgame. The Broward five garnered 12 in the second period) to ice the ballgame when could not get the rolling Elimi : d agers Eliminate against the tight zone defense, Phelan they faced. It was Bob Sawyer, who made jhis last start for Key West last night who supplied the scoring | punch with 11 points while Stu Lo- gun made 10. Sawyer, Aldo Vidal and John Walston played their last game for the Conchs but Coach Win Jones will have nine ball players back next season «round which to build.
