Hy le by ? gt * The day’s fistic action vied for attention with the pennant races. Cleveland still leads the Ameri- ‘can by half a game. Both the In- dians and New York Yankees split double-headers. The Yanks went out front briefly, for the first time since April 22, by winning the fsrit from Detroit 6-0 on Harry Byrd's five-hitter, while Washington was thumping Cleveland 8-3. Cleveland rebounded into the lead by win- ning its second game 7-4 as the Yanks’ 13-game winning streak was snapped by Detroit 8-6. Chicago’s White Sox took a pair from the feeble Philadelphia Ath- leties 10-2 and 4-2 although Paul Rishards drew complaints “for stalling in the second game. The White Sox scored four in the eighth and the A’s had two to make it 85. when Richards changed pitchers twice and called for a third. Plate Umpire Charley Berry was trying to make the re- lief pitcher come in immediately when the 6:59 p.m. curfew stopped action. The score reverted to the end of the last full inning, the seventh. The Boston Red Sox shut out Baltimore 4-0 on a one-hitter by Russ Kemmerer in his first, major Teague start but the Orioles won the second game 4-1 on Duane Pillette’s five-hit pitching. In the National, New York split two at Cincinnati, losing 14-4 in the first game and winning 3-1 on Willie. Mays’ 33rd homer and Monte Irvin’s 17th. As Brooklyn thumped Chicago 12-6 on homers by Roy Campanella, Duke Snider and Carl Furillo, the Giants lead ‘was to six games. Seas had to settle for an even break with the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates.

By DAVID NASOW I believe it will be only proper to begin this first Outboard Column by stressing the Outboard Club’s appreciation to Jim Cobb, of the Citizen Staff, for his willingness in assisting us in what we hope to make a weekly roundup of out- boarding activities in all its bran- ches in and around Key West. Through this column we hope to provide a means of getting better acquainted with those interested in the sport and foster a spirit of helpfulness and good fellowship to all who enjoy outboarding and fish- ing. tthe Key West outboard club members are only a minority of the outboarding fans in this vici- nity, so the success of this column will naturally depend on all you outboarders contributing your share of news. Anything that will be interesting to the others. The club holds its regular meet- ings every Fridey night at the Club House on Stock Island, just beyond the Home Milk Plant on the County Road. Visitors are al- | ways welcome, so come on out and give us a lift with the roundup or call Raymond Maloney 2-3715 or | David Nason 2-6180. The anglers division of the Club was formed about one month ago and is creating quite a bit of in- terest to date. Trophies will be awarded at the end of the year to the spin tackle champ, the hand |needed help from Ernie Johnson to hold the first game 4-1 but the Pirates scored six runs in the sec- ond inning on the way to a 7-5 victoryy in the second game. Al Aber of Detroit was credited with stopping the Yanks’ victory string although he needed help from George Zuverink in the last OUTBOARD ROUNDUP line champ, and algo for the out- standing catch of the season. Ha- gen Sands is chairman of this group. Sparky Carbonell, a junior mem- ber of the club, has taken a nice lead on the boys in the spin tackle division. Sparky is using his schol vacation to gain a little edge on.the boys, and he has found just the spot. Of course that’s a secret, but I did catch the words Spanish Harbor. Hagen Sands hooked a 6 pound bonefish off Munsons Island. Charles Frye, is leading the hand line division with two mutton snap- pers 11 pounds, 10 three fourths pounds respectively. John McKillip hooked a 10 pound tarpon on spin tackle off Spanish Harbor. Freddie Carbonell took a 7 pound grouper on spin tackle. A group of the club boys having nothing else to do on Sunday de- cided to go for a cruise. Early Wise, Bill Porter, Louis Pierce, Waldo Collins and John McKillip left the club house, ambled up to Big Pine Key and out to Loe Key and returned. About 70 miles. Quite a cruise for a Sunday after- noon. Next outboard races will be held off the Club House Pier Aug. 8th. Plans are in the talking stage for a weekend get acquainted cruise consisting of about 16 Key West boats, plus Marathon boats. Plans are to leave Key West on a Saturday morning, stop at Ba- hia Honda Park for a short rest, |continue to Marathon for a fuel stop. Marathon boats will join the cruise there. Continue on up to ; Tavenier where arrangements will be made to spend the night. The fleet will return home Sunday. The route will be on the inside both ways.

Bartzen, San Angelo, Tex., sport- ing goods salesman, wrapped up the National Clay Court crown yesterday with a 6-2, 46, 60, 62 victory over the nation’s premier amateur, Tony Trabert of Cin- cinnati. Prior to that championship Dion Hurls Elks To Victory Over Jaycees; Rotary Wins Sawyer Homers For Rotary In Little League Carey Dion pitched the Elks to a 21 victory over the Jaycees in the second game of a Little League doubleheader at Bayview Park Sat- urday night. In th first game, the Rotary pounded an 8-4 win over the VFW. Dion, who yielded only two hits, outpitched Bryan Williams and Danny Puig, to gain credit for his third win of the season. The young . | righthander struck out 12 and walk- ed three.

The 26-year-old Bartzen knocked off Seixas, then Trabert with a dogged retrieving game in which he capitalized fully on every mis- take the two stars made. Against Seixas, 5-foot-8 Tex- an loped tirelessly around the baselines and back court, saving scores of blasts off the powerful | Atente Philadelphian’s racquet. Eventual- ly Seixas began to press too hard and made a number of conspicu- ut ous errors. Squaring off against the formi- dable Trabert, Bartzen gave im- mediate indication that he was by no means intimidated, breaking the Cincirinati star’s first service and taking the first set easily. Trabert turned on all his power in the second’ set, bulling through to victory on his fast serve and tremendous net game. But that was Tony’s last real showing against the rugged little Bartzen, who began picking up the preponderance of points again as Trabert’s big game wiltes under the pressure of the 94-degree heat and.

For three years, Pompey has been attracting attention in Britain, knocking out the late Dave Sands, fighting a draw with Jimmy Slade and beating Slade in a rematch, He is ranked fifth among the light heavy challengers although he may campaign as a middleweight after a few American fights. Pompey got down to 162 for Bobby Dawson Jan. 25, the only fight he lost. In his last outing he weighed 169% when he knocked out Guiliano Pancini May 13 in London. Ward will be remembered for his exciting bouts with Willie Troy, Holly Mims and George Johnson. | $%7¥ Although he lost all three and was | Richmond stopped twice, his action style won many fans.
