Outboard Club Slates Key West-Marathon Run Final Briefing Session To Be Held At Club By DAVID NASON The Marathon Yacht Club and Key West Outboard Club will meet tonight at eight o’clock at the Club House on Stock Island for the final briefing on the Key West to Marathon outboard race to be run Saturday af- ternoon. Starting line will be off the Club House pier on Stock Island. Everyone in- terested in Saturday and Sunday’s races are request- ed to attend this meeting. The boys are all keeping their fingérs crossed on the weather. At this writing I still have not been successful in obtaining the names of all the racing teams. Most all of the Outboard Club boys are competing, plus quite a} few non-members around town. Several boats from up the Keys are coming down. The first class of boats, which is the “B,” will be sent off at 1 o'clock sharp, The “D-: will follow at their handicap in- terval. Last out will be the “F” class. Entries will be accepted up until post time Saturday. Mer- chandise certificates valued up to fifteen dollars will be awarded to those finishing in the money in all classes. The first boat to cross the finish line at the Cham- ber of Commerce docks in Mafa- thon will take possession of the big trophy now held by Jimmy | cha Hanson, of Key West. M For the benefit of those few who never have time to attend a|™’ meeting and always come rushing out at the last minute forgetting half of his equipment and fuel and wants the racing chairman to “hold everything,” here are a few suggestions by Chairman Dell Walkington: DON’T forget extra shear pins. An extra propeller is advisable, also. DON’T forget to check fi ten steering cable and leys, rotten throttle wire, ’ BE SURE your auxiliary fuel tank isn’t leaking and the,pump is working. BE SURE your fin is right. A fire extinguisher is advisable, but not compulsory. Here are some things required by the rules: A life preserver of some ap- proved type for each member of the crew. One boat paddle or oar. One anchor with a minimum of 75-foot line. The person, rid- ing mechanic must be 15 years or elder, minimum weight 100 pounds. All equipment boat, no matter how small, must either be secured in a compart- ment or lashed to some part of the boat. The course will be up the At- lantic side. There will be three patrol boats stationed along the ‘way to follow up and assist the stranded boats. So much for the Ocean Marathon. Tot- pul- Sunday afternoon, July 4th, the | ¢ raicng scene will shift to a one- mile course in Marathon. They will also shift to racing motors and boats. There will be a good field of Hydroplanes, as well as racing runabvuts. There will be eight heats of racing in all, plus speedboat exhibitions. A big crowd is anticipated for Sunday’s races, as Upper Keys residents go for their boat racing in a big way. You are invited to come up and join in the fun .

It may not happen that way, but 5% ,|there never will be a better op- portunity. _, Hgre’s the situation in the league a next 10 days. 4Cléveland, now leading by three games, has to play the second- place White Sox eight times be- tween tonight and a week from Sunday. During the same spell the Yan- kess will be meeting fifth-place Washington in seven games. And right here may be the kicker. The Yanks should win most or all of those games, but there is no cer- tainty that they will. So far, the Senators steadfastly have refused to play dead for the New Yorkers. In fact, they've won five of the nine games played so far. Cleveland and Chicago have met eight times with the White Sox win- ning five. Even if they can keep up this average the Sox will gain only one full game on the Indians. They'll still trail Cleveland by two. But the path would be open for the Yankees. If they could win their seven with Washington they’d shoot to the top, a game in front of Cleveland. New York was the only one of the American League contenders that played yesterday. The Yan- kees jumped away to a 7-0 lead at Boston but had to struggle for an 8-7 victory. This left the Yanks 3% games out of first place. In the National League, the New York Giants swept into a four- game lead by whipping Brooklyn | for the third straight day 5-2. St. Louis crushed Milwaukee 9-2 with rookie Stan Musial and Joe Cun- ningham hitting two home runs each. No other games were sched- uled in either league.

The Giants used another of their patented late-inning climaxes to hog-tie the Dodgers. After Brooklyn had pulled into a 2-2 deadlock in the seventh on home runs by Roy Campanella and Carl Furillo, the Giants came back with three in the eighth. The first two of the three came.as pinch hitter Dusty Rhodes duplicated his game-win- ning single of Tuesday night with the bases loaded. A single, a throwing error by Roy Campanella on a sacrifice bunt and a walk by Erv Palica set it up for Dusty, who batted for Monte Irvin. Ruben Gomez, with ninth-inning help from Hoyt Wil- helm and Marv Grissom, won his seventh game. Cunningham, brought up to the Cardinals Wednesday as a replace- ment for Tom Alston, hit one home run in his first major league game Wednesday night in Cincinnati and drove home four runs with his two blows into the right field seats at Milwaukee yesterday. Harvey Haddix, the league’s big- gest winner, was struck on the leg by a line drive off the bat of Joe Adcock in the fourth inning, but early fears of a fracture were dis- missed by a hospital examination. He probably will be out 10 days, Legion Defeats All-Stars, 22-3 The American Legion Post 28 baseball team proved last night the former Key West High School nine when they snowed them und- er by 22-3 score in the Wickers| | Field Stadium.

It has even superseded in importance the burning debate over the rela- tive merits of Willie Mays and Duke Snider, which was on the point of becoming silly on the eve of the monumental Giants-Dodgers series this week. Having watched Leo Durocher’s club take care of its cross-river; Jack Villareal and Bobby San- rivals in impressive fashion, and having observed that Mays is not by any means the only big leaguer on its roster, a great many base- ball men have revised their earlier estimates and now are ready to believe that the Giants have the class to lead Brooklyn to the wire. Obviously, none of the other six National League teams has a chance as the halfway stage nears. In this corner’s opinion, the big turning point came, not in the Giants’ spectacular 13-inning vic- tory in the opener Tuesday night, but when Johnny Antonelli, the young left-hander, choked off the two-time champions the following afternoon and ran his winning rec- ord to 11-2 for the season. That was the one which hurt the Brooks deeply and convinced the Giants they can’t be headed. The Dodgers had racked up the young southpaw on their last meet- ing. Their right-handed batting power has, in fact, been death to left-handers over several seasons. For that reason, Durocher had not planned to use Antonelli in the se- ries, but was left with no alterna- tive when his original nominee, Jim Hearn, wrenched his side. There were audible groans from the Polo Grounds assemblage when Johnny began to warm up. And then, as inning after inning went by and the former bonus baby continued to hold the Dodgers in tight check, mainly with his assort- ment of curves, one began to sense that he was witnessing something important. Antonelli didn’t quite last. He was lifted for the Giants’ great reliever, Hoyt Wilhelm, after an error had helped get him in a hole in the eighth. But by that time he had thoroughly buried the Brooklyn southpaw ‘‘jinx” and the Giants had tucked away their 24th victory against only four defeats for the month of June. It would be silly, of course, to count the Dodgers out. They are too solid a club to fold up. The fa- miliar aroma of World Series checks, plus a fierce belief in themselves, will have Walt Al- ston’s veteran stars in there fight- ing all the way. But one has to feel now that they can be beaten if the Giants pitching sustains its present form and nothing serious happens to any of Durocher’s key players, especially to Mays. |Kerr, 3b .. Dairy Queen Blasts Coca Cola In Island City Softball Loop Sonar School Keeps Pace With Victory Over VX-1 Hi The Dairy Queen Blizzards cA behind | ° blasted Coca-Cola, 11-1, DeWitt Roberts’ four-hit pitching in the first game of a softball doubleheader at Bayview Park last night. Roberts, who struck out eight in winning his sixth game with- out a defeat, lost his shutout in the sixth when Al Goehring tripled with two outs and scored on Oscar Cruz’ single. iis While Roberts was handcuffing Coca-Cola, the Blizzards were blasting their ace righthander, Joe Lewis, for 15 hits. It was the big- gest hitting spree the Blizzards have had this season. The Blizzards gave Roberts aj 5-0 lead in the second when they bunched together a hit batsman, Jack Villareal’s triple, Roberts’ single, and two errors for three runs. They added two more in| the fourth when Earl Smith walk- | ed and Roberts belted a tremend- | ous homer over the leftfield) fence. Two errors and singles by | tana netted the Blizzards more in the sixth. The Blizzards completed their scoring with four runs in the sev- enth on five hits. John Lewis and Manager Jack Villareal led the Blizzard’s attack with three for five. Roberts aided his own cause with a homer and single to drive in three runs. In the nightcap, Sonar School continued to say two trouncing VX-1, 7-4. Sonar got off to a fast start by scoring four times in the first in- ning on two errors, a wild pitch, | singles by Bill Moyer and John| Moser, and a double by Mickey} Wertz. The Flyers picked up two runs| in the third on a walk, Parker's! double, and Wayne Pigg’s single. | | They added another in the thir. | on an error and Cliff Smith’s double. A walk, a fielder’s choice, and| Moser’s single produced two runs | for Sonar in the fifth. They added another in the seventh on Schultz’ single, a fielder’s choice and Gaff- ney’s single. VX-1 came up with one run in their half of the seventh when John Sewall walked, took sec- ond on a wild pitch, and scored on Parker’s single. Moser and Gaffney led Sonar’s| attack with two hits each. Parker led VX-1's nine-hit attack with a} double and two singles in fow tries.
