Both teams have won four games with- out suffering a loss within the conference. This game also counts in the district standings as well as the one on Saturday night. Coach Carl Mosso’s Blue Devils. are. pinning their hopes of winning on their ace pitcher Lefty Renaurd. - Football fans will remember Renaurd as the left-handed grid team. He was thorn in the side of the Conch. grid- ders the entire night with his deadly tosses and if he can pitch with the same ac- curacy the local boys are in for @ rough night. He set a new strikeout record for the city of Miami last year and has been called. the best pitcher in Miami. This two game series marks the last time that six of the Conchs starting nine will appear before their hometown fans. It will be the last start for catcher Julio Henriquez and pitcher George Lastres. Both have played three years of var- sity ball for their alma mat- er, as have infielder Biff Sal- gado and left fielder Harold Solomon. Jerry Pita in right has played for two years. Don Cruz, who has played four years, will make his average He very pitch on Saturday night.

Preakness Is Wide Open Race By GEORGE BOWEN BALTIMORE — “Saturday doubtful” said the forecaster about the weather and it applied very well to tomorrow’s Preakness, in which 11 young horses will whirl around old Pimlico for $140,150 in prize money. Although the supposedly well in- formed lean heavily toward either Robert S. Lytle’s Correlation or Hasty House Farm’s Hasty Road as the likely winner, this is a year so far in which it’s a wide-open race for the best 3-year-old. It began when such highly touted prospects as Turn To and Porter- house were put out of action with injuries early. Then Determine came along to win the May 1 Kentucky Derby, first of the triple- crown classics which bear heavily on selection of the 3-year-old champ. Determine’s owner, Andy - Crevalin, has left. the door open now by keeping him out of the Preakness, saying he didn’t want “to press his luck.” Frick.
