tionally known for its tremen-
dous success in reducing juvenile
delinquency in New York City.
Hence our adoption of the name,
Police Athletic League, because
it is our sincere hope and ambl-
ton to alleviate, if not elimi-
nate, juvenile delinquency in
Key West by inspiring respect
for law and order in our Junior
members. 1t may interest you to
know that we now have approx

Cards Suffer Another De. feat af Hands of Left
 hdnder Hur|ing Staff
BY JOE REIcHLER GAP SPORTS wRITER)

It looked today as if the Ma tional League will southpaw the favored St. Lcuis Cardinals to death in an attempt to keep the Red Birds from wrestling the pcnnant from the Chicago Cubs
 In IA games this season, oppos- ing managers have thrown eight lefthanders against Eddie Dyer's sluggers and have been rewarded with four victories. Altogether the Cards have dropped five games, only enc to righthander.
 The latest lefty to haunt the Cards was Dave Kelso, New York Giants hopeful, who handcuffed them with four hits yesterday and whipped them, 5-l, to knock St. Louis out of a first place tie with Brooklyn.
 Dripen Ojj Hill
 The Giants not only handed the Cards their third straight defeat, but had the satisfaction of knock ing off an old nemesis when they drove pitcher Harry Brecheen off the hill with four-run uprising in the ninth inning which snapped a 1-1 deadlock.
 The Dodgers came from behind to shackle the cubs, 3-2, when Billy Herman, former Bruin, hit pinch single in the eighth inning to bat across Pete Reiser and Dixie Walk CT with the tying and winning runs.
 Tenth Inning Homer
 Boston's favorite pin-up boy, Teddy Williams, slammed a 10th in- ming home run to give the Ameri- can league leading Red Sox 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers and a clean sweep of the three game series.
 The Yankees clung close to the !. Sox heels by trimming the Cleye- land Indians, 8-2, behind the effec- tive nine-hit hurling of Spud Chandler, who became the first big league moundsman to register four victories.
 IS Hit Barrage
 Banged around for two straight days by the Philadelphia Athletics, the St. Louis Browns finally came to life with 16-hit barrage against a trio of Mackmen hurlers to de- feat their tormentors, 10-3
 Lefty Fritz Cstermusller pitched a steady game against the Phila- delphia Phillies while his Pitts burgh Pirate mates took advantage of a big five-run frame to topple the Phils, 8-3
