onchs Whip Homestead Here Thurs. Night 8-3 Lastres Hurls Four-Hitier To Shackle Growers By OSCAR MILIAN George Lastres pitched the Key West high school in- to the Southern conference baseball district tourney by defeating the Homestead high 8 to 3 at Wicker’s Stad- ium last night. The contest was one of the most import- ant for the-locals as the los- er wouldshave been eliminat- ed. Lastres in very good form, manhandled the Growers, allowing 4 hits and striking out 10 batters. The Conchs on the other hand were taking advanatge of a series of Homestead’s errors for the vic- tory. ‘The same two clubs will play a- gain tonight in a single game slat- ed to get underway at 8:15 p.m. in the Wickers Field Stadium. “The locals scored 2 runs in the first inning as result of third base- man Charlie Brown’s wild throw to first base of George Lastres’ grounder with Robert Lastres on third and Don Cruz at second both Tunners raced to the platter as the throw landed far into the foul ter- ritory in right field. In the second inning the Davis clan pushed over two more scores on a base on balls and outfield error a passed ball and a single by Robert Lastres. Homestead threatened to tie the count in the top of the third inning when Allen Williams’ grounder to third was muffed by Don Cruz, Don Biando got a free ticket to first and the bases were filled when Dick Sal- gado failed to hold on to Bobo *Brown’s roller to second, Sam Sin- core’s liner to center was good for a double as Williams and Biondo scored the rally was short lived as Carl Norwood struck out and Wil- lard Altman hit into a double play. A line double to right center by Allen Williams with Charlie Brown on board gave the visitors the third and last run of the game in the fourth inning. Key West sent four more runners efoss the platter to sew up the ‘contest in the fourth, fifth and six- th innings. Sam Sincore Homestead twirler, pitched good ball for the visitors but six errors contributed much to his defeat. He struck out four Conch batsman and walked three as George Lastres fanned 10 and passed three for the Key West loy Rodriguez’ long drive to center field in the fifth stanza was the scream of the night. The same two clubs will go at it again tonight, same time same place.

Today Manager Steve O’Neil’s charges are casting anxious glances over their shoulders in the direction of the defending cham- Pion Brooklyn Dodgers. The change in Philadelphia’s fortunes came when the St. Louis Cardinals came a visiting Tues- day. The Phils were riding the crest of an eight game winning streak and boasted a 2% lead in the National League race. The Cards swept the first two games and last night battled the Quakers to a 1-1 standoff in a game that was called after five innings because of rain. While the Cards were mopping up the Phils, the Dodgers extended their win- ning streak to four and pulled to within a half game of the groggy Phils. Brooklyn won their fourth straight during the afternoon as they trimmed Cincinnati, 7-4. The New York Giants snapped a three game losing streak with a 1-0 squeaker over Milwaukee ang Pittsburgh trimmed Chicago, 4-2, in other National League action. In the American League the New York Yankees whipped the Chica; White Sox, 6-1, and the St. Browns defeated Washingten, 3-1. Philadelphia's game at-Detroit was rained out while Boston and Clevé- land weren't scheduled. The Yankees, who got soaked $450 in fines for their part in the melee in St. Louis Tuesday night, a basen an che in Fy other small ru in ago bu escaped with their pocketbooks un- scathed. Mickey Mantle has béen hitting his home runs so far that they've left no doubt, but at Comiskey Park in the fourth inning he belted one which the White Sox - tioned. The ball bounced back on the field and umpire Jim Duffy waved Mantle ground. When Chi- cago manager Paul Richards beefed too long about the deeision, Duffy waved him out of the park. | nin; The hitting ster of the contest was young Bill Rerna who hom- ie Se ata oe ips. The was playing léft field for Gene Wood- ling, who was benehed with in- flamed eyes. Bob Elliott, an unemployed third baseman when spring training be- gan, took over the runs betted in lead in the American League last night with a three-run homer, all the runs the Browns needed to heat Washington. Elliott, who now has driven home 13 tallies showed up at the Browns’ camp in March looking for a job. After a quick trial he was signed on the recom- mendation of manager Marty Ma- rion and he now is playing third Tegularly. Brooklyn spotted Cincinnati two Funs in the first inning and then caught up fast as Duke Snider homered in the Dodger half of the firgt with Peewee Reese on base. Brooklyn went ahead to stay in the second inning with four more runs inclyding a two run blast into the lawer left field seats by Reese. The other two National League contests were settled by do or die efforts in the last of the ninth in- at Pittsburgh rookie Frank Thomas picked the perfect time to hit his second home run of the year. With the score tied, 2-2, one out and Ralph Kiner on base in the last of the ninth, Thomas lofted @ Paul Minner pitch over the left field score board to end the game. In New York, Babby Thomson hit a ninth inning home run to be up the game with Milwau- Lions Boost Lead In National{Kentucky Col. Little League Action Thurs. |Is A Thing The Lions strengthened their hold on first place in the National Little League with a 9-5 victory over Evans in the first game of a double-header last night at Bay- view Park. Bobby Pazo, Lions righthander, limited the Evans nine to two hits -- both of them by third baseman Danny Garcia while striking out 13. It was Pazo’s second win of the season. The Lions actually won the game in the second inning when they scored three times on a walk, Hughes’ double, J. Garcia’s single and an error. That was all they needed as they were never in trouble throughout the balance of the game. In the nightcap, the Jaycees got into the win column with a 9-7 victory over the last place Shrin- ers. The game was a slugfest all the way with the lead changing hands twice. The Jaycees pushed across the winning runs in the fifth when McMahon opened the frame with a double.

At least 14 Persons were killed by the devas- tating blow that churned down from warm spring skies late yes- terday. Between 250 and 300 were in- jured. The enormous property dam- age will run into millions of dollars. Eleven bodies were found amid the litter of blasted homes in the town of Warner Robins, 15 miles southeast of Macon. Two persons - a four-year-old child and the wife of an ‘Air Force | stalla colonel -- died when the storm wrecked separate motor cars in which they were riding. They were Mrs. Joe Loftus and Charles Bar- rentine. The fourteenth victim, a boy of five, died of storm injuries aboard This i et tl 4 to enjoy it! Fourteen Dead an Air Force plane taking him to an Atlanta hospital. More bodies may be found under the rubble in this town itself and in the splintered wreckage littering the Robins Air Force Base, a sup- ply and maintenance depot and the service headquarters for the 14th Air Force. One hundred and one persons re- mained in the base hospital early today. About 50 others were in Ma- con Hospitals. Only three members of the Air Force personnel un the base were known to have been injured and they were dismissed after treat- ment. Property damage to the in- tion was unofficially esti- mated at more than a million dollars. Several large structures on the base were flattened. The swelling black funnel ap- peared shortly after 6 p. m. when most the 9,000 residents of the life ! nN They're off... to the ball park, the swimming pool, the old camp grounds! And they're not always es careful as they might be, either. ‘+; This being true, let’s keep youngsters in ‘hind as we drive during the vacation season! Warner Robins were preparing for dinner, mee After smashing 30 two - unit apartments in @ housing project near the base, tne storm entered the base and whirled giddily over the area. Some structures were leveled, some unroofed, and others were left untouched. Brick buildings in the town and on the base were torn apart as if made of plywood. Heavy damage was reported in the industrial area of the military installation where supplies are stored and maintenance work is done, Maj. D. de S. Trenholm Jr, reported. The area was closely guarded and newsmen were not permitted to enter that section. M. Sgt. H. F. Roth, reserve in- formation officer of the 14th Air Force, said the storm hit. like blockbusters that laid waste to London. Roth said debris was tossed at least 200 feet into the air. Wind gusts in the Warner Robins area were estimated at 100 miles an hour. Heavy rain and hailstones —some as large as golf balls—fell in the Macon area.
