Spicola Ponders Question Of Home For Smokers Tampa Prexy Says He Needs 1,000 Fans For Team To Survive Tom Spicola, pr Tampa Smokers, said last night that he will come up with a de- e@ision by next Tuesday as to wher he will move his Florida Interna- tlonal League Club - Key West or Fort Pierce. Spicola will plane in here toda to meet with local diamond en- thusiasts in an effort to determine f enthusiasm is strong enough to warrant the switch of club here. ‘ampa fans have been luke warm to Ben Chapman’s fourth place gregation, prompting Mr. Spicola to seek greener pastures. Spicola went on record last ni though, as favoring Fort Pierce as the site for his operation. He said that “as far as location is concern- ed, he’d prefer Fort Pierce to Key West because of more potential fans in the area:” But local -base- balls enthusiasts may have some thing to say about that - Key West | led the FIL in attendance during their brief romance with the loop last year with an average paid at- tendance of more than a thousand fans. Spicola met last night with 30 baseball fans in Ft. Pierce. A vol- unteer committee was named to canvass merchants and business- men to see just how much support the Smokers might draw. The Tampa prexy revealed that | he’d like commitments for at least 300 season tickets and needed crowds of 1,000 per game to break even, Tampa attendance has fallen off to less than 500 per game. Spicola is expected to attend the dinner tonight in honor of the Key West High School baseball team. | Netmen Battle In Five-Hour British Match WIMBLEDON, England (?—The | tempo of the All-Ergland Tennis Tournament slackened today—and a. good thing it wis because pla ers and officials still were shakin their heads in amazement at th marathon match between Jaroslay Drobny and Budge Patty. Most of today’s schedule will be given over to doubles play. There are only two men’s singles matches and one women’s on the board. Ken Rosewall meets his fellow Aus- | tralian, Jack Arkinstall, and Art Larsen of San Leandro, Calif., plays Torsten Johansson of Swe- len. Drobny moved into the fourth | round with a five-hour 8-6, 16-18, & %, 86, 1210 victory over Pat! tn unseeded Los Angeles player | who can make trouble for the best of them when he is taking his game seriously. But there’s no rest for the weary and Drobny and Patty teamed up {n a doubles match today The fivesetter had veteran Wim- bledon officials scrambling for the record books and none could re tall a longer match. It also served | a hypo for the tournament which was pretty dull for three days. Umpire Paul Adorian of London, | an arbiter for almost 30 years, termed it’“one of the greatest matches of all time. It will always be one to remember and talk about.” Both Drobny, a veteran of nine | p Wimbledon tournaments, and Pat ty, admitted they weren’t sure i they could finish. When it was alts over they were too tired and bus tounting their battle scars to pay much attention to the cheers of the capacity crowd.
