want Large Crowd Witnesses ’54 Inaugural A large crowd was on hand last night as the Little Leaguers open- d their 1954 season with a double- reader at Bayview Park. City Ma- nager Victor Lang threw out the first ball and Earl Adams, presi- dent of the American Little League, did the receiving. In the first game, George Mira pitched the Kiwanis to a 5-0- vic- tory over the Shriners. In the night- cap, Evans Enterprises coasted to an easy 14-7 win over the VFW. In spinning a neat two-hitter, Mi- ra struck out 10 and didn’t walk a single batter. The first hit off|* Mira came in the fifth inning when Ed Bailey singled sharply to left. The Kiwanis began their scoring in the third on an error, a walk, and Milton Esquinaldo’s single. It was the first base hit for the Little Leaguers. They added two more in the fourth on an error and singles by Graves, Mario Alfonso, and Es- quinaldo. Charles Pearce’s double and Graves second single produced another marker for the Kiwanis in the fifth. They wound up their scor- ing with a single marker in the sixth on a single by Roy Valedez and Mira’s double. Esquinaldo and Graves led the Kiwanis eight hit attack with two hits each. Score: Kiwanis 0 0121 1 5-82 Shriners 0 0000 0 0-25 Mira and Esquinaldo Crus and Crusoe In the second game, Evans En- terprises jumped on VFW starter George Thompson for 12 runs in the first three innings to sew up the game. Led by Richard Garcia, who pelted a homer and single driving in 5 runs, Evans scored in every inning ‘except two. A walk, an er- ror, a double by Bartolome and singles by Santana and R. Garcia gave Evans a 5-1 lead in the sec- ond. They iced the game in the third with a seven run uprising on three walks, two errors, two sin- gles, and Garcia’s homer. Santana started on the mound for Evans, but a late VFW rally in the sixth sent him to the showers. Richard Curry finished up. Score: Evans 1470 2 0 1492 VFW 4101104 1755 Santana, R. Curry (6) and Bar- toleme, R. Garcia (6) Thompson, Estegoz (3) and Es- quinaldo. Conch Golfers Tackle South Dade Today The Key West High School golf team journeyed to Homestead to- day to play a match against the South Dade High squad. The 5 man team accompanied by Coach Tom Whitley left this morning in order to arrive at noon. The matches be- gan at 1:30 on the beautiful Home- stead Golf Course. . The Conchs no. 1 man, Joe Lo- pez Jr., will be facing just about the hest opponent a high school golfer can meet in Dick Huff. Huff was medalist and final- ist at the State High School Tour- nament at Orlando and although he will have the advantage of play- ing his own course the long driv- ing Lopez boy has the capabilities of upsetting him. Glynn Archer Jr., Key West no. 2 boy will be facing Pat Neafasy a hot and cold golfer who can be rough when he gets hot. Ed Curry will be playing Pat’s younger brother, Jim, in the no. 3 match. Sandy Luppens and Billy Borre- son will play two other Rebel op- ponents as Key West seeks to win its first match of the year inits first outing.

Pelicans Add New Pitcher By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rain finally cooled off the siz- zling New Orleans Pelicans—for 2 day at least—but the Southern As- sociation leaders took advantage of the day off to let the rest of the clubs learn they have added a top- flight righthander to the pitching staff. ‘The Pels yesterday acquired Andy Hansen, former National League hurler, from Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League. Hansen, Elroy Face, Ed Wolfe, Bob Schultz and Larry Lassalle comprise a superb complement of the league’s best hitting aggregation. The good-pitch, good-hit combi- nation aims a pointed reminder to other Southern club heads to scare up some reinforcements or face a runaway. Showers moved eastward yester- day to rain out New Orleans at4 Birmingham and Mobile at Atlanta. In the only activity, first division teams were victimized. Cellarite Nashville edged Little Rock 9-8 and Chattanooga dropped Memphis into fifth place 8-3.

The game was preceded by a sparkling show featuring top en- tertainers. Tonight, the same teams will play the second and fina! game of. their series at 8:15 p. m. Mamie Johnson, top girl pitcher will appear on the mound for the Clowns in tonights’ tilt. And Miss Connie Morgan, an- other “bonus baby” will also per- form for that club. The young replacement beauty for Toni Stone is. the idol of her 16-year-old sister, Barbara, who has one aim in life—to be as great as Connie at least in one sport. Barbara’s aim is not without rea- son: considering the wealth of ex- perience and ability Connie has packed in her 5’ 4”, 135-pound MISS MAMIE (“PEANDT") ea a) frame. The 19-year-old infielder of the Clowns has set and broken re- cords in amateur and semi-pro baseball both in hitting and field- ing. Not to speak of numerous star- ring roles played on the basketball court. 7 In baseball, Connie Morgan’s ac- hievements include setting a field- ing mark with Sam Fauntleroy’s Honeydroppers, a well-known all- girl Philadelphia team. As if this weren’t enough, Connie proceeded | to win a series of games single- handed in which she climaxed win- ing rallies with some of her timely hitting. Her batting average, since she first set foot on a diamond at John Bartram High School, has always been well above the .250 mark and last season she wound up her stay with the Drips batting a ‘hefty 358, As for basketball, this has been Connie’s schedule every winter for the past seven years. Her 15-points per game average not only earned her a league scoring title several season in a row, it also led to her} being elected captain for the °53- 54 season. Miss Morgan is the scor- ing punch of a Salvation Army Brown St. Roamerettes, one of the most res-| pected girl fives in senior compe- tition in Philly — mainly because of Connie. Connie Morgan, whose appear- ance on and off the playing field fails to reveal her true talent in sports, will be the Clowns’ regular son. She was signed to a 2-year- contract, and according to her sis- ter Barbar, will more than earn the $10,000 per season she will re- Portedly receive, by drawing fans great female pro-baseball perform- er, with the greatest of Negro Am- erican League male clubs — the} Clowns! \White Sox” Aided In Flag Race By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer The Chicago White Sox are mak- ing every effort to run off and hide from the New York Yankees in the American League pennant race and for a change they’re getting some help. For more seasons than they care to remember the rest of the mar- agers in the league have found out the hard way that no team can beat the Bronx Bombers all by itself. The New Yorkers always dis- covered a cousin or two some- where, teams they could whip with ease while the contenders were busy battering each other out of the pennant race. But not so far in 1954. Every team the Yanks have played has beaten them at least once. And they’ve played every team in the league except Balti- more. The Orioles open a three- game series in New York etoday. Meanwhile, the White Sox have recovered from three quick losses at the start of the season and have won nine of their last 12 games. They lead the league by one game over the surprising Detroit Tigers and hold a four-game edge over the Yankees. From start to finish a year ago the Yankees never were more than one game out of first place. In addition to the pleasure of having the other teams beat the Yankees, the White Sox have re- ceived phenomenal pitching from unexpected sources and excellent hitting from a couple of fellows who have to produce to keep the pennant threat alive. Johnny Groth, a .253 weakling with the St. Louis Browns last year, is leading the Sox with a .364 average. Ferris Fain, who fol- lowed two straight batting cham- pionships with a .256 performance last season, is hitting at a .328 clip. Bob Keegan, Sandy Consuegra and Don Johnson have accounted for seven victories without being beaten. Johnson, former Yankee property, is a fugitive from Tor- onto. Keegan and Consuegra had a combined 1953 record of 14-10. Consuegra won his second one yesterday. Despite the 14-3 score against the Philadelphia Athletics, he gave up only two hits, a bunt single and a windblown double, both by Forrest (Spook) Jacobs. Consuegra had a perfect game working until Jacobs got his dou- ble with one out in the seventh. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Giants 8-2 last night in the only other activity in either league. It was too cold at Milwau- kee for Brooklyn to play the last place Braves and it was too wet at Washington for the Senators’ game with Cleveland. The three Philadelphia runs against Gonsuegra came in the ninth inning on a walk and an error followed by Jacobs’ bunt, which Consuegra threw .into right field, permitting two runners to score. Then Jacobs scampered home after a sacrifice fly by Ed McGhee. The White Sox scored eight runs in the third on six hits, including a single by Consuegra and a two-run double by Groth. Chico Carrasquel and Nellie Fox each collected four hits. At St. Louis, the Cardinals scored three runs on one hit in the first inning and three more on Ray Jablonski’s home run in the fourth as Vie Raschi pitched his first complete game since leaving the Yankees. Twice before Raschi has pitched nine innings but in each instance the game ran into extra innings. Ruben Gomez, who never got anybody out in the first, was the loser. He walked three, one men was safe on an error and two scored on a double by Tom Alston before Gomez gave way to Mario Picone. Budenz Claims Anti-Red Action PHILADELPHIA (#—Louis Bu- denz, former editor of the Daily Worker, says he has earned more than $70,000 in the past six. years from anti-Communist lectures and articles and fees for testifying against Communist party leaders. The 63-year-old Budenz, now on the faculty of Fordham University, made the statement yesterday in testimony at the trial of nine al- leged Communists charged with conspiring to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the U. S. government. - DISTINGUISHED (Continued from Page One) er Byrns and is being directed by Jack Clarke. Cuban television producers have. indicated interest in filming the festival.

Bill Cates, all-time great Key West high school dia- mond performer and for Many years connected with the Dodger, Yankee and Senator baseball chains, is conducting the school. Plans call for the classes to be held each Saturday until the close of school at which time they will be held daily until the start of the American Legion District Tourna- ment to be held here late in July. The tourney will be played in Key West, An All-Star team will be picked from among students at the local baseball school to compete in the tournament. Cates has set up the school as a miniature ‘‘Dodgertown,” pattern- ed after the Brooklyn organization school for rookies at Vero Beach. The boys were divided into four groups and they will be taught to play the game from the ground up. Through the cooperation of the eity of Key West and various local residents, the school has been giv- en a batting cage, “batting tee, sliding pit and other aids to ins- truction. Daily lectures on the fundamen- tals and strategy of the game will be given and will be open to the public. As Cates explains: “Every ball- player should be like a manager -— you’ve got to figure what you’d do in any given situation.” Atomic Dust Damage Charged LOS ANGELES (#—Two resi- dents of Sar.

(® — Nine stitches and a two month layoff today shelved any plans that Wal- ter Cartier might have had about sumbing up the middleweight lad- er. “Td like to fight any of the top ranking middleweights,” said Car- tier after. he gained a bloody 10- round split decision over Bobby Dykes of Miami, Fla., last night at the Eastern Parkway Arena. But the 29-year-old Scrapper from the Greenwich Village sec- tion of New York required six stitches to close a deep cut over his right eye and three more to close a jagged cut over the left eye. Dykes also suffered a cut over the left eye which took six stitches. Matchmaker Teddy Brenner of the Parkway said that Cartier, in defeating Dykes, has earned a bout with either Rocky Castellani, the No. 3 contenter, or Ralph (Tiger) Jones, rated No. 4, when he’s in shape again. The New Yorker repeatedly beat Dykes to the punch with left hooks to the head and body. He opened Dykes’ eye in the third round. His own right eye was opened in the first and left eye in the fifth. Cartier weighed 161, Dykes 159. Referee Ray Miller scored it 7-2-1 and Judge Artie Schwartz had it 5-4-1 for Cartier. Judge Joe Eppy ruled in favor of Dykes, 6-4.
