The lean, Georgia-born Negro, first of his race to play for the Philadelphia Athletics, has started finished and won three games. And each time he’s pitched he’s gotten better. Trice joined the A’s last Septem- ber and posted a 2-1 record after May 1, 1954 Motorcade To Precede Rally All candidates for election in the May 4 primary have been invited to participate in a motoreade prior to the’ annual election « eye yote rally in Bayview Park.

In his second appearance he shut out the New York Yankees 1-0 on six hits. Last night against the Bal- timore Orioles he had a one-hit shutout going for eight innings and wound up with a 5-1 three hitter, The only Baltimore run came as Bobby Young singled, moved to third on Gil Coan’s double and scored as Eddie Waitkus grounded out. The loss was the first of the year for Duane Pillette who had won two. Bill Renna, one of the players who came to the Athletics in the deal that sent Harry Byrd to the Yankees, drove in three of the five Philadelphia runs, Byrd was the last rookie of the year to wear a Philadelphia uni- form. He won the honor in 1952 when he had a 15-15 mark. Trice, who is\25, is only one full season away from Class C ball. He won 16 and lost 3 for St. Hya- cinthe in the Provincial League in 1952 and played 62 games as an outfielder that same season. .Trice’s fine pitching pushed the Athletics into third place in the American League, a game and a half behind the fast moving Chica- go White Sox who whipped Boston 5-0 for their ninth victory in 11 games, ° , Detroit outlasted Washington 2-1 in 12 innings and Cleveland thumped the Yankees 9-4 with a five run explosion in the 10th inn- a i OG York, ational League Brooklyn took over first placé from Cine, nati by beating the Redlegs 6-3. icago Cubs 42 in 14 innings on Willie Mays’ home run and the Phiadelphia Phillies defeated Mil- waukee 5-2.

He’s won eight mM a Yow over two seasons, Chicago got two quick runs in the first inning off Sid Hudson on two singles, an error and a sacri- fice fly. Keegan was in trouble in the seventh and eighth but a dou- ble play got him out of the seventh and faulty base running by Jackie Jensen helped him in the eighth when the Red Sox collected. three singles. Washington’s Bob Porterfield needed only one more out for a three-hit shutout against Detroit, Then the Tigers crashed three suc- cessive singles to tie the score and went on to win with three more singles in the 12th, The Indians found the range in the 10th against Whitey Ford, bat- tering the Yankee relief pitcher for a triple, three singles and a -walk good for five runs, Three of the four Yankee runs eer anes as two errors led a three run scoring splurge i pee York sixth. ceiaiaias “Maglie, written off as a has been in the late stages of the 1953 campaign, became the first pitcher in either league to win four games, To do it he had to pitch the long- est game of his career, Mays’ homer came against War- ren Hacker who took over from yee at the start of the 13th. gave up only three hits i the first dozen innings, a Brooklyn and Cincinnati sprayed 24 hits over Crosley Field but the Dodgers used theirs to better ad- vantage.

MONROE HAS 1.5 (Continued from Page One) port shows, there are 116,743 gov- erning bodies from county level down. This number represents a 25 per cent reduction achieved over a period of ten years through con- solidations and éliminations. Most of it was due to the liquidation of school districts. Special districts, on the other hand, such as operate specific local projects or facilities, have increased in number, In Monroe County, in the decade, the number of governments has re- mained the same. Nationally, local governments now have on their payrolls some 4,000,000 workers, or one out of every fifteen employed people. They received $11.3 billions a year in pay. FASCELL DENIES (Continued from ‘Page One) Congressional race, I have con- sistently replied as follows: “It would be inappropriate for me to participate in any cam- paign. Among thé candidates in the Congressional race, are three close personal friends who worked very hard for me in my previous campaigns, so I do not think it would be right for me to make a commitment, even to any of them. I felt I should adopt a ‘hands-off’ policy, to which I have strictly adhered.” GRAND JURORS (Continued from: Page One) West’s strife - ridden police de- partment. And on Thursday and -Friday it looks from here as if the grand jury will get back to the Over- seas Road and Toll Bridge Dis- trict investigation. On that day — Thursday—James McEwen, Tampa State’s attorney who is acting as special investi- gator in the toll district probe, will return to Key West. , John D. Marsh, Dade County solicitor .who also is acting as a special investigator, probably will be here after election day. Yesterday morning Marsh issued a subpoena for Ernest A. Ramsey, manager of the Florida Keys Aque- duct Commission, and all of the commission’s books and records. Lester Returns In the afternoon, Marsh was in Islamorada, interviewing more witnesses in’ his probe of the toll district. The previous week, Marsh talked with witnesses at Pigeon Key, headquarters of the old toll district. In all of his sessions with witnes- ses, Marsh has barred members of the press. Both Marsh and McEwen were appointed by Acting Governor Charley Johns to investigate the toll district. Their appointments specify it. they confine their work in Mo County to only the toll district. J. Lancelot Lester, Monroe County state’s attorney, will be back in town Monday and will meet the grand jury to advise them on all other matters except | | the toll district investigation. Allan B. Cleare, Jr., Monroe County solicitor, stepped in yes- terday at the request of the grand jury when that body needed legal: advice. Political Intimidation It wasn’t known just when the grand jury would take up the city police department again. The police department came to the attention of the jurors Thurs- day when City Commissioner Louis Carbonell appeared before them to tell what he knew of alleged political intimidation in the. de- ‘partment. Carbonell, incensed at reports of firings, resignations and suspen- sions in the department, asked for the probe last Monday. The case of Serge Hernandez, city school policeman, apparently brought the matter to a head. He was fired for what the de- partment said was neglect of duty. Hernandez, who says he is sup- porting State Representative Ber- All members are urged to be present with their boats, families | and lunch, nie C. Papy in his race for re- election, said he was fired for | political reasons. Island City The HS-1 Helicopters will meet the Boca Chica Flyers in the open- ing game of the Island City Base- ball league Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m. in the Wickers Field Sta- dium. f The Helicopters will start Coppa in the box with Armbruster be- hind the plate. The Flyers:will use Devine on the hill with Hogan on the receiving end. At 8 p. m. Sunday, thei! Naval Station: nine and the Cuban Club will clash in a league tilt. ALL CHILDREN (Continued from Page One) in injecting civilian children at the schools.” Sheriff John Spottswood said that the sheriff's department will furnish .a two-way radio’ car and a patrol wagon to help in the dis- tribution of the GG on the days when the shots are administered. Medical Group Gives Okay The telephone company, Dr. Morrison added, is putting an em- ergency phone in the office of the health department to handle only calls pertaining to GG. Dr. Edward Gonzalez, president of the Monroe County Medical So- ciety, said his group had given a complete okay to the use of GG. Both the State Board of Health and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis also have ap- proved the use of GG, Dr. Morri- son said. Jeff Knight, chairman of the lo- cal polio foundation chapter, as- sured Dr. Morrison of his group’s cooperation. So far this year, there have been 20 cases of polio in Key West. All but two cases of these have been Navy personnel or Navy de- pendents. ‘ . 1953 Figures Up to this time last year, only one'case had been recorded. In 1953, there were a total of 55 polio cases with the first case being reported in January. The second case was recorded May 5, 1953. There were nine cases in August and the total had reached 31 be- fore GG shots were given. After GG was administered, there were 24 cases, 22 of which were adults. The two ¢ases of children contracting polio after the shot program were not given GG. Dr. Morrison pointed out that the program is entirely voluntary and that children must be accom- panied to the schools by their par- ents. The parents must sign a con- sent slip before the GG will be given to their children. Dates and details of the GG pro- gram will be announced later. PINDER DENIES SAYING (Continued on Page Two) jury yesterday, but under the law, his testimony is secret. Answers Charge Seney said that he bought a 50- foot lot in Marathon last May and that he showed Pinder a document indicating he had made a $100 down payment on the property and that Pinder told him he was eligi- ble to vote as a freeholder. Pinder Denies Pinder said he never made such a statement. County officials hold that it is necessary to have a property deed on file before persons may regis- ter as freeholders. They add that the registrants’ oath that he is a property owner is all that is nor- mally required — unless the vote is challenged. Seney was accused by Papy of registering on September 25, 1953 although county records show he did not buy property until March 18, 1954. Seney voted in the Feb. 23rd election to select five Aque- duct Commission members. K. C. Wu Is Ousted TAIPEH, Formosa (#—K. C. Wu, |Record $102,800 Purse Set For Kentucky Derby Today LOUISVILLE, Ky. —The Ken- tucky Derby, America’s premier horse race, will be run for the 80th time at sprawling Churchill Downs today with five outstand- ing contenders for the richest win- ner’s purse in its history and 13 other 3-year olds apparently just out for the ride. The 18 colts, whose names were dropped into the entry box yester- day, are survivors from an orig- inal 137 nominated. for this $100,000 added mile and one-quarter glam- or race starting at 4:30 p.m. EST. Heading the field are Correla- tion, owned by Los Angeles oil- man R. §. Lytle; Goyamo, rep- resenting the Woodvale Farm of Royce G. Martin at Toledo, Ohio, and Mrs. W. Alton Jones, wife of a Cities Service Oil Co. executive; Hasty Road, pride of A. E. Reu- ben’s Hasty House Farm of To- ledo; Determine from the stable of automobile dealer A. J. Crévolin of Alhambra, Calif.; and C..V. Whitney’s scrappy little Fisherman from New York. If all 18 parade to the post as the band strikes up “My Old Ken- tucky Home” the owner of the win- ning horse will bank a net of $102,800 compared to the previous high of $98,050 won in 1951 by Count Turf. The race will gross $124,850, only a little over a thousand short of the high mark three years ago, The weather man forecast show- ers, but it will take much more than a few showers to mar the carefully groomed racing strip. It'll be cloudy and humid. Some 100,000 persons, forming a cross section of American life, planned to be on hand for the big event which will be televised na- tionally by the Columbia Broad- casting System from 4 to 4:45 p.m. EST, and broadcast by the same company from 4:14 to 4745. Correlation, already winner of two $100,000 races this season, the Florida Derby and the Wood Mem- orial last Saturday, was an early 5 to 2 favorite. The lanky son of Free America val be ridden by Willie, Shoema- er. Goyamo holds down the second spot at 4 to 1 chiefly because of his victory in the recent Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. He was second behind Correlation in the Florida Derby and again will be ridden by the king of all derby jockeys, Eddie Arcaro, who has had five winners in 14 attempts. The contest for third spot in, the] pre-race odds is just as close as last Tuesday’s race in the derby trial in which Hasty Road set a mile track record of 1:35 to edge the little grey westerner, Deter- mine. Hasty Road, all-time leading money winning two-year old in‘ 1953, was quoted at 5 to 1. Deter- mine was 6 to 1. Running mates were entered for both Hasty Road- and. Determine in Sea O Erin and Allied. Hasty Road will have Johnny Adams in the saddle. And Determine will be ridden by Ray York. Fisherman, Ridden by Hedley Woodhouse, completes the big five. Badly beaten by Correlation in the Wood after stumbling at the start- ing gate, Fisherman showed enough in the Gotham at Jamaica to warrant a chance at the big prize. Best of the others figured to be James Session, twice conqueror of Determine and the hope of band- leader Harry James and his movie actress wife, Betty Grable; Sam seyampa, and Black Metal, Mrs. Elizabeth Graham’s bid for her second derby win. She won in 1947 with Jet Pilot. Completing the field are Dr. A. L. Birch’s Timely Tip; Joe W. Brown’s Mel Leavitt; Red Hanni- gan from the Woodley Lane Farm of Joseph Straus and LaFayette Ward of San Antonio, Tex., and Stephen B. Wilson of Providence, R. L; Close Out, owned by J. C. Pollard and T. I. Harkins; William G. Gruber’s Super Devil; Gov. Browning, the Tennessee hope of K. R. Martin and W. N. McKinney; and Admiral Porter, owned by L Blumberg’s Sunny Blue Farm.
