‘Pensacola Gains Third Conch Bowl Win Game Shaw AFB Gridders Bow In 32-13 Tilt By JIM COBB Citizen Sports Editor The 1955 football season was closed out last night at the high school field in a highly successful manner with the presentation of the third annual Lions Club Conch Bowl classic. The proceedings were | marked by the following de- * velopments: 1, The Shaw Air Force Base Flyers got clobbered by a competent Pensacola Goshawk eleven, 32-13. 2. The fans got their money’s worth, ‘largely through the efforts of the magnificent, 187 piece Cor- al Gables high school “Band of Distinction” imported by the resourceful Lions Club for the occasion. It marked the second Conch Bowl in a heartbreaker to the Camp Le- Jeune Marines in 1953. * They went into an early leat last and it, al- occasions, When J. D.

Frankie Ryff Wins 16th Bout Friday By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK @ —. Undefeated Frankie Ryff had his 16th victory today, rookie of the year honors all but clinched, and an involun- tary holiday of about taree months ahead of him. It all happened as a result of his sparkling but split 10-round de- cision over Cuba’s Or!ando Zulueta in Madison Square Garden last night.

The first section of the Golf Lea- gue started on October 26 and Team 6 was never headed. The Runner-Up Team 5 composed of Mrs. Ann Witzel, Mrs. Louise Mc- Cabe and Maxine. Ritter. finished within a point anda half of the Champions. This team started in the cellar after the first week of Play. + As evidenced from the final scores it is readily seen that this tournament was a nip and tuck close one. It was possible for any team to win right up to the last minute. A possible score of 45 points could. have been made, but that would have meant that each member of the team would have to win three points each ‘week. The teams were very closely matched and the final results are: Championship Team — Mrs. Ko- la Reid, Mrs. Mickey Bayliss, Mrs. Ruth Holtsberg (29% points) Runner-Up Team — Mss Ann Wit- zel, Mrs. Louise McCabe, Mrs. Maxine Ritter (28 points). Third Place 8mrs. Kay Fraldo, Mrs. Louise Duke, Mrs. Ann Cruse (22% points). Fourth Place — Mrs. Piedad Ar- cher, Mrs. ‘Mary O’Briant, Mrs. Francis West (18% points). Fifth Place — Mrs. Rose Gavi- lan, Mrs. Helen Altman, Mrs, Dee Foulkins (18% points). 4 Sixth Place — Mrs. Polly West, Mrs, Claire Stnaley, Mrs. Char- lotte Rule (18 points). The low scorers Tuesday were Mrs. Rose Gavilan with a 43, Mrs. Kay Faraldo with a 46 and MRS. Polly West with a 47. Last Tuesday was the completion of the first section of League play and at 9 a. m.

Dr. Nardiello esti- mated that the wounds would side- line Ryff at least three months. Frankie was cut over both eyes early but that didn’t stop him from piling up a big lead. _ He was gashed over the left eye in the first round, over the right in the fourth round and in another place over the right eye in the eighth frame. Weighing 136 to Zully’s 133%, Ryff appeared much stronger. Referee Harry Kessler 8-2 and | Judge Harold Barnes 63-1 voted for Ryff. Judge Americo Schiavone 64 scored for Zulueta.

NEW YORK @—To one who, thought he was pretty well up on the statuary in the baseball Hall of Fame, it comes as a genuine sur- prise to learn that one of our earli- est heroes, Homerun Baker, has never yet been voted into the shrine at Cooperstown. We can only believe it was an oversight. As a sprout in the base- ball-mad community of Artesia, N.M., we distinctly recall having demanded, and received, two Christy Mathewson cards for one Homerun Baker. That. was the way the game’s cognoscente felt about the fabulous man who had hit two home runs in the same World Series for the A’s‘and was the scourge of all. pitchers. Why the player who was the first king of the distance hitters in the era of the “dead” ball has not long since. been enshrined among the immortals we haven’t the foggiest idea. Certainly he be- longs there ahead of .a few we could mention who made _ the grade. Furthermore, we are glad to report, something is being done about it. Through Bob Layto of the Daily Banner at Cambridge, Md., we learn that a strenuous drive is under way to have the famous old third-baseman admitted to the hall when the veterans selection com- mittee meets here in February to tap two more players who have been out of action more than 25, years. Baker closed his 13-year big league career as a member of the New York. Yankees in 1922. Those to whom the name Home- run Baker brings back memories of the days when he and Barney Oldfield, the car racing demon, were about the greatest figures in the sporting scene, will be glad to know that Baker still is very much alive and about as he nears his 68th birthday at Trappe, his old home on the eastern shore of Maryland. Looking up the records, it is surprising to discover that Baker actually hit only 93 homers during his entire American League career starting in 1908, an average of just over seven per season. Nowadays they throw a fellow back if he can’t do better than that, but it must be realized that in’ Baker's time a homerun really meant some- thing. When a man hit one in our town they passed the hat for him. In 1908, three years before Baker started earning his nickname, Sam Crawford had led. the American League with seven over the fence. Next season his teammate, Ty Cobb, was head man with nine, | the first and last time the famous Georgia Peach was to excell in that phase. So it may be imagined that when Baker clouted nine of them in 1911, ‘and followed up with two more to win successive World Series games from the Giants, he became quite a figure. He led his league the next two seasons with 10 and 12 of his specialties, then Roundup By Gayle Talbot tied with Crawford eight. It was to be only five more years before a former pitcher named Babe Ruth suddenly broke the competition wide open with 29, then followed up with as astro- nomical 54 off the new lively ball, but for his day the man they called Homerun was a marvel to behold, a model of consistency, In his three best years, 1911-13, the. Maryland farm boy hit .334, .347 and .336. He wound up with a lifetime average of .308, and those who played with and against him say this mark would have been 30,or 40 points higher under modern conditions. He stole 40 bases one season, 39 another. His batting average in six World Series games was .367. In his first one in 1910 he hit .409.
