CONCHS CAPTURE STATE BASEBALL TITLE BRAVES SEEK TO STRETCH LEAD IN PIRATE SERIES Key West Bests Pensacola’s Tate In 7-3 Ball Game Thursday Night Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, June 12, 1953 BASEBALL RESULTS AMERICAN By The pes od Press Gallant Key West High School land baseball team covered themselves with glory last night in Fort Pierce when they went out and captured Detroit the State Class A championship with a 7-3 victory over Tate High of Pensacola. The feat marks the first time that a Key West nme has been able to turn the trick. And tonight, the Conchs will at- tempt to add further to their laur- els when they tackle the State Class AA champions, Palm Beach, at Fort Pierce, in a challenge Match. Actually, the Conchs are a dou- fle A school since they were vot- ed as such two weeks ago. The action came too late, however, for them to participate in the AA tournament, but with the brand of baseball they have been playing, it appears that they can lick any club in the ‘state. The Conch batting eyes, which have not been too sharp in the first two games of the tourney, came back with a venegeance last night and they shelled a pair of YESTERD.

Minneapolis Columbus {Hogan Smashes Par With Hot 67 At Oakmont By HUGH FULLERTON JR. OAKMONT, Pa. —They called! it ‘Hogan’s pen’ before it started —this 53rd United States pen Golf Championship—and the script is unchanged, It was Ben Hogan and the awe- inspiring Oakmont Course in the forecasts. Today it was Hogan in the lead—Hogan against the field. And Oakmont still dared all but the great golfers to challenge par on its wide-stretched fairways and big, wavy greens. Hogan’s place among golf’s great Players hardly can be challenged after his performance yesterday. The record first day crowd of 8,000 i | showed little surprise when the un- smiling, chain-smoking Texan me- thodically fashioned one of the finest rounds ever played over the ing the Allegheny River.

That score put Hogan three strokes ahead of his closest pur- suers in the field of 157, Among the tournament - toughened stars s|who had been expected to chal- lenge him, the scores ran like this: Jimmy Demaret 71, Sam Snead 72, Lloyd Mangrum and Marty Furgol 73, Doug Ford, Johnny Bulla and Fred Haas 7, Defending Champion Julius Boros and PGA ;|Champion Jim Turnesa 75, Cary Middlecoff and Jackie Burke 76, and Bobby Locke and Lew Wor- sham way up at 78. Closest to Ben after the first day were three players who never fig- ‘eso | red in the advance dope and who Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (7—From what has been seen of him around here the past few days, Ed Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves is ready right now to step up and challenge Mickey Mantle’s right to be called the most se! ional young play- er in baseball today. The kid third baseman is in the midst of a terrific hitting streak that has carried him to the top, or near the top, in almost every slugging department in the Na- tional League. The power in his bat has done more than anything else to convince the eastern half of the circuit finally that the Braves are a genuine pennant threat. There’s a popular belief that Mantle will finish the season lead- ing the American League in prac- tically everything. That would be a World Series worth seeing if the two glamorous sophomores should wind up battling one another for individual honors in the playoff hile Milwaukee goes completely lemented. ‘There is an amazing parallel between the two most ee to hit the big top —,, For one thing, their birth dates are only a week apart, Mickey the Yank being that much younger than his rival. Mathews was born Oct. 13, 1931, at Tex- arkana, Tex. Mickey came into the world seven days later at Com- merce, Okla., in the same general neck of the woods. Each of them entered organized | ball in 199 and had enjoyed approximately the same minor Yeague training before they became | big league regulars last season. Each of them led his | striking out last season, Mathews whiffing 115 times and Mantle 111. Playing with a lifeless club in Boston, Mathews hit only in streaks and closed with an un-| impressive 22 average. Mickey, surrounded by champions, posted a 311 mark. Mathews freely attri- butes his great improvement to trous fans. | to first base faster than any other player in the game, the Braves phenom is far from slow. In fielding skill Mathews is fully a match for the marvelous Okla- homan this year. Frankly, he wasn’t last season, NEW YORK (#—The great un- seen audience which runs the fight game these days between hasty shaves and sips of nourishing beer has come up with what should be a real good number tonight— the 15-round lightweight champion- ship bout between Jimmy Carter, the durable titleholder, and George Araujo, a fast-stepping 22-year-old from Eravibence, RL The parlor promoters may take full credit for having done a neat bit of matchmaking, since Carter was notably unenthusiastic about taking on the unbeaten young challenger and was more or less euchred into risking his crown by the adroit use of large piles of television money. It was like this: In nearly two years as cham- pion, since he had stopped worn-out Ike Williams in the 14th round on enough money out of the title to tax beagle. He wasn't on relief, but he didn’t have a convertible either. And then, out of a beauti- fully clear sky, he was offered something like $50,000 to fight a soft touch named Tommy Collins on a national hook-up. It was such a payday as to make Carter's mouth water, such a wind- fall as could not have been con- ed in the old pre-television days. But the sitting room cus- tomers demanded it, believing a: and the sponsors heeded their clear call.

Weather Bureau Radar Tornado Warning Set Up WASHINGTON # — The U. S. Weather Bureau said today it has radar tornado warning installations in 15 cities with prospects for a nationwide system. It has cost the taxpayer almost nothing extra so far and probably will cost next to nothing for a national network, said F. W. Reichelderfer, chief of the bureau. Reichelderfer’s statement, in re- ply to a query, came after Capt. Howard P. Orville, former chief of the Navy’s meteorological divi- sion, suggested just such a system. Orville said the Weather Bureau should spend five million dollars over the next 10 years to install a 35-station radar network to warn against tornadoes. On a television program from May 25, 1951, Carter hadn't made | Baltimore Monday, Orville said his radar plan would be as effective as the hurricane system he helped | organize in Florida.

Cocoa Stretches Lead In FSL With Win Thursday By The Associated Press Virgil Frazier shut out Jackson- ville Beach, 2-0, on four hits Thurs- famous course in the hills border-!day night to give Cocoa’s Indians a 1% game lead in the fast closing first-half race of the Florida State League. Sanford dampened the hopes of second-place Daytona Beach, 9-3, in the race that ends June 21. Other action saw Lakeland break its 12-game losing streak at the expense of Leesburg, 8-5, and Or- lando defeat DeLand, 8-7. The game at Cocoa was a tight Pitching duel between Frazier and Jacksonville Beach’s Joe Angel. Angel yielded six hits. Ed Vadmi- sky, with a double, and Enio Mar- tinez, on a single, drove in the Cocoa runs. The Sanford Cardinals ganged up on Frank Skaza, a prep phenom from Cleveland making his debut in organized baseball. Averaging a gaudy 17 strikeouts a game in prep play, Skaza whiffed two in 11-3 innings Thursday while yield- ing four hits, five walks and eight runs, Bill Harris drove in four of the Sanford runs, Orlando trailed DeLand 6-1, go- ing into the last of the eighth, then got to Jim Clarich for three runs and continued the assault in the final inning against Clarich and John Blodgett. Frank Wieck sin- gled in J. L. Lowery for the win- ning run with two out, Bat Hamm gave up 10 hits win- ning Lakeland’s first game since May 28.

The Braves, nearing the end of a profitable ,road trip on which they have won 11 out of 16, hold a 20 season’s edge over the seventh place Pirates. Only six percentage points sep- arate Charley Grimm’s men from the pesky Dodgers whose week- end opposition isn’t exactly teri- fying, either. Brooklyn plays last Place Chicago four times. The Dodgers have split a previous pair with the Cubs, When it comes to pitching the Braves are probably the best equipped of any National League team for a six game series, even when it includes two doublehead- ers in three days. They have seven hurlers who have won in starting roles and all seven will be avail- able against the Pirates. Max Surkont, who’s won seven, and Johnny Antonelli, a six game winner, start it off for Milwaukee in tonight’s twin bill. The big American League series starting tonight is at Cleveland where the New York Yankees face The indians in the first of four. The Yanks won their 14th in a row yesterday, 6-3, at Detroit. Cleveland lost for the first time in eight games, 2-1, to Washington. Philadelphia edged Chicago, 6-5, and Boston ran the St. Louis Browns’ losing streak to 10 with a 70 decision. In the National League Brooklyn made it three straight over Cin- cinnati, 9-6. New York snapped a five-game Milwaukee spree, 3-1, on three home runs, St. Louis got only four hits but beat Pittsburgh, 5-3. Philadelphia and Chicago had an open date. The high flying Yankees now lead Cleveland by 6% games — their greatest first place margin in the five years Casey Stengel has managed them. Home runs by Gene Woodling, Mickey Mantle and Irv Noren settled all doubts as to the outcome of the game in Detroit. Walt Masterson stopped the In- dians on three singles. Ed Fitz- Gerald drove in the winning runs with a bases-loaded single in the seventh, Gus Zernial, the leading home run slugger in the American League, hit a pair at Chicago, raising his total to 15, But it took a bases-empty biast by Eddie Rob- inson in the ninth inning to give Philadelphia the victory. Willard Nixon of the Red Sox pitched perfect ball against the Browns until Virgil Trucks doubled with two out in the sixth, St, Louis got only three other hits, all singles. Trailing 6-3 the Dodgers finally caught up with Bud Podbielan in the eighth inning at Brooklyn, pounding him for six runs before Rogers Hornsby yanked him. Pod- bielan allowed 17 hits, The big blows in the rally were home runs by Gil Hodges with the bases empty and Junior Gilliam, with two on. Jim Wilson of the Braves threv three home run balls at the Polo Grounds — one each to Monte Irvin, Whitey Lockman and Hank Thompson. The Cardinals got a lot of mile- age out of four hits at Pittsburgh They scored three runs on just one safety—a single by Ray Jab- lonski following four walks, Sailing Race Set Here For Sunday The Key West Sailing Club will hold races Sunday dt 2:15 p. m. off the north shore of Sigsbee Park.
