Restore, a 7-1 choice at the mutual windows, came driving around the outside to triumph by a length and a half over Queen’s Mark. Silky Blend, who left the starting box a 13-1 shot, mustered a burst of stretch speed to pull away from the field in the second and win by three lengths. The Quiniela on the first race paid 65.20 while the second race Quiniela returned 84.40. In the feature event of the even- ing, the Key Lodge Motel Cup Race, Legal Looter regained his winning ways and romped in with a handy three length verdict over Black Ceaser. Break The Bank ran third. Although, Legal Looter has com- piled a fine record to date, his occasional spotty performances left him a 16-1 shot when he left the starting box. He paid 34.00 to win, 11.20 to place and 8.20 to show. Black Ceaser paid 9.00 and 9.40 while a two dollar ticket on Break The Bank was worth 9.40. The feature race Quiniela was worth a neat 72.80. In tonight’s hot box special, Toggle Switch and Ladyish will continue their rivalry. They ran a dead heat for first place in their last meeting. Both are among the better newcomers to the track. Toggle Switch has compiled a rec- ord of four wins and two second place efforts in nine starts while Ladyish has been a winner in four of eleven races. She has placed second three times. Other entries in the feature in- clude B. F. Snipes’ Viking Panther, F. B. Stutz’ Bogota, Sam Baxen- dale’s Short Bid, Joe Balik’s Light- ning Rodney, Fred Whitehead’s Carib and Ed Souza’s Judy Doll.

Joe Lewis hurled the game for the Cubans, giving up but three hits. But all of the heat was not on the baseball field — the sun beat down so hard that a total of nine umpires were used during the con- test. The Navy jumped into an early lead in the first frame when Thiele hit a double to score Southers. The Navy scored their only other run in the ninth frame when a wild pitch scores Cassell. The Cuban Club waited until the sixth inning to start their scoring. Singles by Kaki Rodriguez and Danny Lastres, coupled with an error and a sacrifice gave them two runs, They scored three runs in the seventh on Rodriguez triple, Pa- zo’s double and a single by Joe Lewis. They wound up their scor- ing in the eighth frame when Tor- Tes walked and came around on singles by Solomon and Lewis. Pazo, with three base hits, paced the Cubans at the plate. Rodriguez and Lewis had two each. Hamblin, Thiele and Smith paced the Navy. ROUNDUP STOCK CAR The Stock Car Races drew a large crowd of enthusiastic fans Sunday afternoon.

Tribe Rookie Hits But He Can’t Field By ED CORRIGAN AP Sports Writer Dilemmas—those things that chop years off the life of a major league manager—are nothing new to Al Lopez of the Cleveland In- dians, He’s had a king-sized one since he took over the Tribe and has been trying to beat out the New York Yankees for the Amer- ican League pennant. But now he has a brand new one: what to do with Rudy Re- galdo. This 23-year-old rookie infielder has shown no respect for opposing pitchers since the start of spring training. At the moment he has clubbed nine home runs and is bat- ting a cool .481 with 25 hits in 52 tries during the exhibition sea- son. This sort of slugging would be enough to light the eyes of any manseety So Lopez’ eyes lit. i The kid can’t field, or, at least it sure looks like he can’t. He’s a third baseman by trade, but there’s no use battling Al Rosen for the position, so Lopez thought perhaps he’d go well at second base. The Indians dropped another one to the New York Giants yesterday, 10-4, Rudy slugged two home runs and a pair of singles, but he also made two errors, one at second and one at third. So Lopez must decide whether Rudy will bat in or let in more runs, He also is supposed to be able to get around at first base. That might provide the answer since first basemen are not paid to be acrobats. Meanwhile, ancient Vic Raschi is warming the cockles of St. Louis Cardinal Manager Eddy Stanky’s heart. He went five innings against his old mates and gave up five hits yesterday. The Cards won the ball game 4-2, The 35-year-old right-hander, who was dealt to the Redbirds last month, has worked 21 innings for the Cards and has given up 16 hits and only five earned runs. It was a strange feeling for Raschi to throw against his old mates and he admitted it, “I was worried stiff I might hit one of them,” he said. “I was very careful about not throwing too close to them. I guess they felt the same way about batting against me. There was no jockey- ing at all. I probably could have gone another inning, but I felt tired. I’m sure I can go the full nine innings the next time I pitch.’ Bobby Toski Wins Azalea Tourney WILMINGTON, N.C. #—What a difference a year makes, Last spring Bobby Toski finished far back in the pack in the $10,000 Azalea Open Golf Tournament.

The two major league clubs that got into action against their farm- hands suffered disaster. The At- lanta_ Crackers dealt the Milwau- kee Braves a 2-1 defeat and the Chattanooga Lookouts whipped the Wshington Senators 43. The Braves suffered another in- jury when catcher Sam Calderone jammed a finger in his throwing hand ‘trying for a wild pitch by Warren Spahn. The Phillies finally obtained their long-sought infield strength when they bought Bobby Morgan from Brooklyn for a reported $60,- 000 and second baseman Dick Young.
