PITCHING Cleveland, 12,248, ~Feller, Page 6 Olson Solid Favorite To Keep Title By BOB MYERS SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. ww — Middleweight king Carl (Bobo) Olson of San Francisco lays his world championship on the line tonight and is a solid favorite to retain it in a 15-round match with the nation’s leading challenger, Rocky Castellani of Cleveland. The bout will be nationally tele- vised and broadcast by NBC, with the San Francisco area blacked out of the TV picture. The show goes on at 9 p.m., EST, at the Cow Palace. The balding “Bobo” Olson captured the middleweight crown from Randy Turpin of England in 1953, turned back the threat of Kid Gavilan in Chicago last April in one of his greatest fights, and he hasn’t been beaten in his last 15 bouts. The last time he was beaten, in fact, was in a bid for the title against Sugar Ray Robinson here in his adopted home in 1952, Castellani, at 28 a seasoned ring- man without much of a punch— less, in fact, than the champion, who is not famous for chilling his foes—has not been whipped in 10 straight matches. He was last de- feated in 1953 by Pierre Langlois. Olson and Rocky have had 22 professicnal fights apiece, each has lost five, and both tuned up for this title struggle by belaboring a young man named Pedro Gonzales. Rocky won a decision; Bobo ended the matter in four rounds. Olson has been guaranteed $120,- 000 by Rocky’s manager, wealthy Al Naiman of Cleveland. Rocky will get 60 per cent of anything over the net above that sum, Key West Bowling Association Notes By JUDSON STEPHENS Last Saturday, at the V. F. W. Post 3911 Home on Elizabeth Street, a meeting was called for all officers, team captains and in- terested persons of the Key West Bowling Association which wés re- cently organized for Key West. Attending this meeting with R. N. Gilmore, president presid- ing, were some 17 representatives of the three leagues now in pro- »}gress at the Rollaway Bowling Lanes. Up for discussion was the acceptance of either the team bowling league plan or the indi- vidual’ membership plan. After much considerable discus- sion‘ on: the merits of both sys- tems it was adopted that the Asso- ciation favored the Individual Membership Plan. This in effect means that each member desiring to join the American Bowling Con- gress must.be a member of a team and pay a proportioned amount for his membership dues. Part of the ‘dues collected go to. Headquarters of the. A. B. C. but the greater part, remains within ‘the Associa- tion. In addition to the individual membership dues collected, each team entered into competition must pay an additional fee for sanction by the A. B. C. This will also remain in-the Key West Asso- ciation. . - During the meeting it was brought out that the Knights of Cohimbus are providing a trophy THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, August 20, 1954 Key West Out Of SubLant Tournament By JACK K. BURKE, JO2 New London Ashore meets New London Afloat in Thursday nights championship game for the Sub- marine Force Atlantic Fleet title. Key West was eliminated from play by New London Ashore in the second game Wednesday night, 3-1. Before some 2,000 spectators, New London Afloat took the first game 5 - 0. The big fa<tor in this game was the steady ball playing of the Afloat team, besides the ex- cellent pitching arm of James French. Four costly errors on the Ashore’s teams part cost them the ball game. No member of the Afloat team got more than one hit. Donald Strickland of the Afloat team got a double for the only extra base hit of the game. In the Key West - New London Ashore game, careless ball hand- ling on Key West part was the dif- ference between the two clubs. Three hits a piece but two more Tuns off the Ashore team part was the final score. ‘The big stick for the Ashore team was Herb ‘“‘Say Heay” Elmore. He is presently hitting a .666 clip. In the first game against Key West he garnered two for three. Many rubarbs were the center of attraction. As always in tight ball games the managers for both sides want to go by the rules even though sometimes they are wrong. But it all makes the ball game exciting for the fans watching the game. It was learned yesterday that Daniel Russell’s smallest boy was taken to the hospital in New Lon- don with polio. He plays first base for the New London Afloat team and also was chosen as the most valuable player in the Atlantic Fleet softball tourney last year, Game time for the champion- ship game tonight is set for 6:30. It by chance that the Afloat team losses the first, a second game will be scheduled for 8:30, Key West Loses In Pensacola PENSACOLA (#—McAteer Dairy of Ocala beat Key West All-Star 7-6 and Jarrard Motors of Pensa- cola downed Sally’s Grill of Tampa 1-0 last night in the Men’s State Softball Tournament.

The other two are Gordon Jones, 24, who has been with the club about two weeks, and Ralph Beard, 28, who came-up with Lawrence. Jones turned in an eight-hit per- formance yesterday to defeat the gglorass Braves in 10 innings 2-1.
