Coral Gables Pins Defeat On Key West, 6-5 Ky werk xk x xk *& 5 xk * xk Ke Ke’ x *k Wicked, Bardabl Duel Is Slated In Kennel Club Feature Tonight xx tk Conchs Seek To Even Up Series In Game Tonight At Wickers Field A big four run first inning cost the Key West High School baseball team their first defeat of the season last night when the Coral Gables Cavaliers eked out a 6-5 verdict over the defend- ing state champions. The same clubs will go back at it tonight in the second of their two game series at 8:15 p. m. Gibby Gates hurled the contest for the Conchs and gave up but seven hits, but spotty Key West base run- ning and five Key West er- rors proved costly. Key West outhit the visitors, 10-7. The Gables’ leadoff hitter, Bob Ross started things off when he singled and then stole second base in the first inning when Julio San- tana dropped the throw. Herb Gofi- alez reached base on a fielder’s choice and Jack Langer walked to load the bases and set the stage Ed Harrison, Gables leftfielder, then hit a long ball to right cen- ter field which scored two coun- ters. Two more runs scored on a single by Tom Pendray and an error. Key West managed to pick up @ single run in the third frame when Gibby Gates singled, and El- roy Rodriguez walked. Biff Salga- do, who picked up three hits in four times at bat, singled in Gat- es. But the Cavaliers came back with a brace of counters in the fourth when Muzzi, Gonzalez and The Conchs came back with an- other run in their half of the fourth when George Lastres, who per- formed in center field last night singled and Hal Solomon sent him to second base with another one- bagger. : Haskins walked to load the sacks and Gates sent a long fly ball to center field to score Lastres after the catch. But the Conchs could not push across another run in their half of the inning. In the fifth inning, Key West just missed knotting the count when they plated three runs. Ju- lio Santana was the first man to reach base when he drew a free pass and went to second on a balk. Salgado then sent a booming triple, his third hit of the evening, into deep center field to score Santana. Henriquez then waiked and stole second. George Lastres followed him with a screaming, two-run line drive over third base. Harold So- lomon singled Lastres to second base and he went to third on a balk. But the Conch rally died when Fred Curry fanned. ‘The Conchs loaded the bases in the final inning but could not score HOW LONG HAVE ¥ Key West Kennel Club Results FIRST RACE Winner—R. O.

Fla. Pagoda Wins Feature Race Here Thursday R. K. Hutchings’ Wicked and Velma Merriam’s Bar- dahl, currently a pair of hot dogs at the Key West Ken- nel Club, will battle it out over the 5-16 Mile distance tonight in the Lou’s Radio & Appliance Cup Race. Bardahl has been a vic- tor in his last two outings, while Wicked captured his last outing after a series of disappointing races. But, the experts indicate that the lat- ter puppy has hit his stride and will be a strong factor in tonight’s race. There are three other dogs in the race who will bear watching on the basis of their past perform- ance — they all won their last starts. They include Jesse Wil- liam’s Toggle Switch, R. K. Hutch- ing’s Ladyish, and Jack Ortner’s Caswell. _Other entries in the hot box spe- cial include Manuel Foster’s Rob- ert T. Y., F. B. Stutz’ Ordin- ary and E. F. Snipes’ Speed In Review. Ordinary, a newcomer to the track, has picked up three victor- ies in six starts, advancing all the way from grade four to top rank- ie at the track. He’ll bear watch- 1g. The owner of the winning dog will be presented with a cup by Lou Carbonell, owner of Lou’s Ra- dio and Appliance Shop. Tonight’s eleven race weekend program will feature a bonus grade one race, the ninth event of the evening. In that race, like Matthew Hill, Short igs ser Rural Cousin, Moderator, Lightn- ing Rodney, Remember Reggie and Glen Page will go to the post, The eleventh race on the pro- gram will be a popular 3-8 mile marathon race. The slate will get underway at 8:15 p. m. with the first half of the daily double. In last night’s feature raee, F. B. Gavilan Drills For Title Bout With Olson By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO #—Ah, for the life of | a world champion. Welterweight king Kid Gavilan, his leathery face creased in smiles, arrived in Ohicago last night to begin his final week of drills before Olson’s middleweight crown in trying to dislodge Carl (Bobo) Chicago Stadium next Friday. Gavilan was bundled in a heavy overcoat as he stepped from a New York plane into blasts of cold wind. Reporters whisked him away to a nearby cafe and there the fun began. Gavilan is one of the few sports big shots who is agreeable for anything. He’ll pose for a picture standing in his head and wiggling his toes if asked. In the cafe, he wandered back to the kitchen and donned a chef's white headpiece and coat. Then he pretended he was carving up a big roast from the oven. Mean- while, waitresses and kitchen help grouped around him, handing him dollar bills to autograph. “These people—what won't they think of next for Gavilan,” fumed Mundito Medina, the champion’s cagey little trainer and a charac- ter in his own right. Medina looked around the kitch- en, “Look at Gavilan. They could give him a blank check to auto- graph and he wouldn’t know the / and Just A Bomb. (1-7-4) difference: Here he is in all this heat signing stuff and posing for pictures. He should be in bed rest- Stutz Pagoda finished strong to edge Black Ceaser by a nose, Tex- as Speed ran third. The winner paid 14.40, 6.00 and | 7.00. Black Ceaser paid 4.40 and 4.60 while Texas Speed returned 15.60 for his third place effort. The favorite in the race, Range | Twilight, fell on the first turn and | ran last, Last night’s program also pro-| duced a neat $133.60 Quiniela when Over My Shoulder and Malahide scored in the eighth race.
