Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, March 17, 1953 Views From The Southernmost Sporting Scene By Charlie Conch Genial Al Logun played host Sun- day night to the members of the Key West High School basketball squad and the local press. And Al did it up right when he turned over the entire Conch Room in his Sim- onton Street bistro to the cagers and served them with roast squab a la Logun. And the cagers appreciated it when they went at the dinner with real gustol. Also guests were the members of the cheering squad at the high school. Coach Win Jones expressed pride with his boys when he told of how they went all out in the final start of the season against Homestead. At that time the Conchs had a .500 record and needed a win to come up with a winning season (Jones has never had a losing slate in the course of his career.) ,He simply told the boys that it was up to them and they went out and trounced the upstaters. “They could have beaten anyone that night’, said Jones. Presentations of letters and gold basketballs given by Bernie C. -Papy will take place in the near future. Next year’s cage picture looks mucho bright with the Conchs los- ing but two starters. Baseball Skein Last week’s double victory over Miami Beach by the high/flying high school baseballers marked their 35th win in 36 starts over a period of slightly more than three years. The Conchs who last year had the finest record in the state, but could not compete in the state tour- ney because they did not have a full schedule, will bear watching. Coach Paul Davis has his boys working hard and they are going to be tough to beat. Lions Plan Classic The Key West Lions Club has al- ready begun the planning for their annual gridiron classic which pro- mises to become one of the year’s outstanding sporting attractions. Word has it that they are at- tempting to line up the Parris Is- land Marine eleven, which is just about the top service team in the nation, to oppose the Pensacola Goshawks. The Lions honored Admiral Irv- ing T. Duke, local Naval Station commandant for his aid in plan- ning the classic last year at their meeting Thursday night. Ever mod- est, the jocular Admiral said didn’t do a thing and I got a free ticket to the ballgame.” Duke had the Lions in stitches throughout the dinner wint his dry remarks. He pledged aid in planning this year’s classic, in addition. With that backing and Senator George Smathers’ work, the classic will be a corker. Lights Out The delay in turning on the lights at the Wickers Field Stadium Sun- day night cost promoter Jim Farr about 300 bucks when a large group of fans showed up at the ball park and then left when the lights were not turned on until well after game time. The same situation arose last week at the high school open- er. What hoppen?

Moguls Amazed In Ban On The Browns Switch By JACK HAND and JOE REICHLER TAMPA, Fla. (® — One of the surest things in the history of baseball boomeranged into one of the biggest surprises in the game | since the turn of the century when | Bill Veeck was. refused permission to transfer the St, Louis Browns to Baltimore. For almost a week, unofficial polls of the owners indicated that mere formalities were involved in the proposed switch. But when they met here yesterday, they sent Louis for at least one more year by astounding one and all with a 5-2 vote against the switch, Only the Cleveland In- dians and the Chicago White Sox reportedly sided with Veeck. As officials talked it over today, | they were not so certain the Boston Braves would receive permission to | transfer the National League fran- chise to Milwaukee. This move also had been thought to be all set except for the official voting in St. Petersburg tomorrow. All the National League club owners must approve if the switch is to be made, and at least one— Walter O'Malley of the Brooklyrf Dodgers—hinted he might not vote for the change. Although he was not available, lit was reported that Horace Stone- on Senators wal t pitchers for six h 11-4 win over the Rookie Bill Hunter’s triple and ted for four e St. Louis Browns to a mph over the Cleveland me runs by Del Enis and Torgeson were the big blows made five unassisted double plays’ Phillies out- | at first base. ‘ lugged the St. Louis Cardinals, | the Philadelphia GOOD FIND GAIL LEE LUCK ham of the New York Giants ‘was against the move. Another thing that might: influ- ence the action of the National League moguls was the attitude of Commissioner Ford Frick. He ob- viously was pleased that the Browns will be forced to remain in St. Louis. “T’m in favor of transferring the franchise, but not at this late time,” he said, referring to the Browns. “It would have been: non- sensical to make the move so close to the start of the season. We would have been up to our necks in lawsuits.” Veeck, who said he lost $400,000 in St. Louis last year, was dis- appointed at the turn of events. “None cf the other owners would be a bit unhappy if I sold out,” he said. He’s on the spot now, and whether the St. Louis fans will support the Browns is a question. They know he is being foreed to operate there, and that the team probably will move out before long, perhaps by next year. | But, he said, he has no intention’ of selling the club—at least not at | the present. “However, I may change my mind two days from now,” he com- mented. “I’ve been known to change my mind on two days no- tice. I still think mv intended move was a wise one. And ! still think it's a wise move for Boston te shift to Milwaukee.” Although Veeck complained the |other owners wanted to see him leave the baseball picture, Presi- |dent Will Harridge of the Ameri- |can League said several factors |led to the turndown. Among them he listed television commitments, schedules, ticket sales, possibility ‘of law suits and the general | certainty of leaving a eity that j been in the league 50 years. enton, Fia. | Luke Easter is the beaviest play- er on the Cleveland Indians’ ros- ter.
