Blazek, next up, drew a walk and Ray Downer singled him to third with Downer being thrown out trying to stretch his gingle into a double. Joe Snead’s bouncer got away from thirdbase- man Earl Smith allowing Blazek te score the second run. Key West’s only run came in the seventh on Kenneth Kerr’s homer with the sacks empty. Trier struck out seven and had perfect control. Joe Lewis struck out seven and walked one.

Seen For Moore By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK (# — A spectacular “called shot’ technical knockout over able Harold Johnson in the 14th round added luster to light Moore’s great record today. Now the 37%4-year old fistic marvel will seek to fatten his bankroll with a Sept. 23 title fight in Omaha against either Joey Maxim or Jimmy Slade. Maxim, beaten three out of three by the magnificent Moore, appears more likely to get the payday. His wily manager, Jack (Doc) Kearns will meet sometime today with Charley Johnston, Moore’s man- ager, and members of the Omaha Centennial Committee to talk turkey. After stopping the fast-punching, solidly built Johnson in a dramatic come-from-behind fashion for his 19th straight victory, Moore said he’d like to fight either heavy- weight champion Rocky Marciano or Don Cockell, the British heavy- weight king. Manager Johnston, a realistic soul, said “‘Marciano has that Sept. 15 title fight with Ezzard Charles and I know Cockell doesn’t want any part of Archie. We want the dough and they’re offering Archie $100,000 to fight in Omaha. We're ready.” Moore was ready, too, when Johnston told him to go out and “get” Johnson in the 14th. “TH knock him out in this round,” Johnston said Moore told him. He did in just 56 seconds. The crouching champion tore after his tiring rival, staggered him with a right to the chin, and then rained blows on his sagging rival. Johnson fell on his back in is own corner. The Philadelphia Negro clam- bered up at six but his legs were rubbery. Referee Ruby is stepped in and stopped the slaughter. Although Moore was trailing go- ing into the 14th, (two of the three officials had him behind), the 175- pound ruler said he had no doubts ‘ebout the outcome. “I knew I'd get him,” seid Archie Johnson decked Moore in the 10th with a right behind the ear. If the fight had been a ten rounder Harold would have won. All three officials had him ahead then. Gold- stein had & 5-3-2, Judge Bert Grant 54-1 and Judge Arthur Aidala, 1-3. “I made one mistake,” said the crestfallen loser. “My corner told ‘400 | ™me not to back up straight but I did and he got me.” # Rollaway Ups “Commercial League Lead Rollaway Lanes picked up some valuable ground last Friday night by defeating Monsalvatage Cigar Co. for four points to increase their lead to four points over their neat- est rival in the Commercial Bowl- ing League. Rollaways cause was further helped when the number two and three teams (Johnnie's Place and Key West Supply) were battling to a split each winning two points. Roy’s Auto Parts came back into the picture by defeating Lindsley Lumber for four points and bring- ing themselves into a tie for see- ond place with Johnnie’s Place, while Key West Supply dropped back to fourth. Claude Spear of Key West Sup- ply again had high singles game (217) followed by two teammates Don Copesky (201) and Chuck El- der (189). High series was also rolled by Claude Spear (532) followed by Chuck Elder (525) both of Key West Supply. Paul Dennis of John- nie’s Place had a 510 series. Others with 500 series were F. Bratkovic of Johnnie’s Place (508) and Jim Dunnaway of Lindsley Lumber (508). High Team singles game was rolled by Johnnie’s Place with an 826. High three game team series wards down with six hits while fanning nine batters. McGahey Motors To Meet Conchs, All-Stars Here The McGahey Motors baseball team — including two Seminole In- dian performers — will play a dou- bleheader in Key West August 22. The visitors, a Miami Amateur League entry, will tangle with the Junior Conchs in the first tilt in the Wickers Field Stadium at 3 p. m, and in the nightcap will clash with the Key West All-Stars at 7p. m. Manager Bill Cates of the Jun- ior Conchs will start his ace hurler Paul Higgs with Sidney Kerr and Gibby Gates available for mound duty if they are needed. He will also have Julio Henri- quez, Julito Santana, Leeburg Knowles, Eloy Rodriguez, Tony Hoppy and Roger Bean on his ros- ter. In the nightcap, manager Valdez will start Joe Lewis on the mound with DeWitt Roberts catching. Al Pazo, Danny Lastres, Bunzy Vill- areal, Kaki Rodriguez, Cheese Fer- nandez, Cal Greenewood, Tito An- guierra and Leon will make up the balance of his lineup. DeLand Leads Florida State League Race By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DeLand jumped from third place to the top of the Florida State League last night ‘by shutting out Orlando’s CB’s, erstwhilé front- Tunners, 2-0 and 3-0 in a double- header. The victories, Nos. 4 and 5 in succession for the surging Red Hats, came with left-handed pitch- ers doing the honors. Pete Rogers allowed the CB’s only four hits in the first game and Jim Ruiz yielded only five in the second. Cocoa, which hadn’t scored a Tun in its previous two outings, blanked second-place Lakeland 3- 0, denying the Pilots their long sought goal of first place. Phil Filiatrault’s two-run homer in the fifth was the big blow. Jose Ayon received credit for the victory al- though he needed help from Joe Drach. Fourth-place Jacksonville Beach, only three games off the pace, stopped a 17-hit Daytona Beach onslaught to win 15-6. The Sea Bird batters blasted 12 hits them- selves.

The 35-year-old speed merchant needs only three more victories to equal his previous high of 20. In his present form this looks like a cinch. Trucks, who broke into organ- ized ball in 1938 and reached the big time in 1941, has been the sen- sation of the American League the |past two seasons. After a miser- lable 5-19 record with Detroit in |1952, he posted a brilliant 20-10 |mark last year, dividing his serv- ices between the old St. Louis Browns (5-4) and the White Sox (15-6). His work won him top honors in the Associated Press poll for the “Comeback of the Year.” Except for 1952 Trucks has been a consistent winner. Even in his bad year two of his victories were no-hitters. Last season, when he reached 20 for the first time, he won his 17th game on Aug. 23. He pitched five shutouts over last year. Now he’s 12 days ahead of that pace. He whipped the Baltimore Orioles 1-0 yesterday for his 17th triumph and his fifth against five setbacks. improvement to Manager Paul Richards of the Sox. “It’s a real pleasure to work for him,” Trucks said. “I feel I’m really doing my best and I'd like nothing better than to win 20 again.” Trucks’ performances so far this season include two one-hitters, against Boston May 1 and Detroit July 6. The Orioles reached him for nine but their most serious threat fizzled in the eighth when Minnie Minoso made a fine run- ning catch of Jim Brideweser’s long foul fly with the bases loaded and two out. Bob Kuzava, making his first ap- pearance for Baltimore since leav- ing the New York Yankees, was charged with the loss. The White Sox failed to gain in the pennant race since Cleveland and the Yankees also won. The Indians edged Detroit 20. New York beat Philadelphia 3-1. Boston afternoon game but lost to the Sen- ators at night 5-4. Cleveland leads the Yankees by three games and the White Sox |by seven. In the National League the Brooklyn Dodgers clipped the idle New York Giants’ lead to 3% games with a 3-2 squeaker over Philadelphia. Third-place Milwau- kee moved within seven games by shading St. Louis 6-5 in a game shortened to seven innings by rain. Cincinnati hit five home runs. beat- ing Chicago, 8-1. Ted Williams hit a pair of two- run homers, his 21st and 22nd of the season. In Boston’s daylight triumph. His career total now is 359, good for a tie for sixth with Johnny Mize on the all-time list of home run sluggers. FOR EACH YEAR MORGANTOWN, W.VA. ®—Dr. R. C. Spangler, a professor of bot- any at West Virginia University, played his annual round of birth- .|day golf yesterday — 70 holes in honor of his 70th birthday. Spangler toured the Morgan- town Country Club in 328 for an average of 84.3 for each 18 holes. He one-putted 21 greens.

The Lions, National Football League champions for two years running, have been openly defiant | of the fact that the charity classic will be played under the limited substitution rule of college football. And that defiance might well be just what the pro kingpins need to get fired up for the contest. Lion Coach Buddy Parker is peeved, not only because the rule’ will deprive him of using separate offensive and defensive platoons and full utilization of his many specialists, but also because it has required him to change his entire system. Parker has had to key the Lions’ practices especially for the All- Star game, rather than using the sessions to get ready for the all- important pro title defense that lies ahead. Meanwhile, the other NFL clubs have been honing them- selves for the race without inter- ruption. Angry or not, the Lions are fa- vored to score their second suc- cessive victory in this annual grid show to be witnessed by 90,000 fans who'll pay their way into Soldier Field and millions of others who'll snuggle up to their television sets. They’re favored despite Parker’s vow that he'll use his great quar- terback and passer, Bobby Layne, sparingly, if at all, rather than risk getting him injured on de- fense.
