City Commissioner Louis Car.
bonell's show. These shows
courtesy of the Local Musicians
Union and spearheaded by Mr.
Carbonell and Mrs. Ruby Craw-
ley, will be continued nightly
during the drive which will see
every member of the Musicians
Union on the platform playing
music that will help polio victims
walk again.. These musicians are
striving to raise dimes and dol
lars to prevent their children and
the children of Key West from
contracting polio, and they de-
serve a great deal of credit.
All candidates for Queen of the
March of Dimes are urged to be
present at these shows as collec-
tons they make will count to-
ward votes in the contest. Checks
and envelopes sent in to March of
Dimes Chairman c. B. Harvey
with candidate for Queens
name mentioned will be credited
to that particular candidate.
The contest for Queen is wax
ing furiously and the race is close
with several candidates running
neck and neck. The winners Zone

men and one among the unmar-
ried girls) will be crowned at the
annual birthday ball, which is I
being sponsored at the Casa Ma
rina Hotel on Saturday, January
18th, by the Junior Chamber of !
Commerce, assisted by the Jay
shoes, another very active March
of Dimes group.
Birthday Ball Chairman Joe
Pinder and his committee are
performing outstanding work in
organizing their plans for the
Casa Marina Ball.
Mrs. Vera Wood, Chairman of
another Birthday Ball at La Con-
cha, which is being sponsored by
the VFW Auxiliary, has plans for
this ball which are also very
promising. A gala floor show is
being arranged to add to the mer-

verted it into a double play pre-
ciSely at moment when a deluge

There were other strong factors
in the conquest. Rookie Sandalio

stopped the White Sox on three
hits and the Mats supported him
with emphatic hitting. But all
would have been wasted if Mi
chaels hadn't made the game off,

the White Sox were stalling in an
effort to delay the innings end

So there were five players within
two strokes and Jim Ferrier next
with PA. Everybody else was dis

Many Nightmare Rounds.
But the scoreboard started re-
vealing many nightmare scores
as the afternoon progressed. Man
grum was out in Al, Harrison
couldn't hit his hat, Palmer was
soaring to an unattractive 70,
Middleton fast was ridding him
self Of the title and Ferrier
eliminated himself in q hurry
by taking seven on the very first
hole of the afternoon round.
But as the scores scared, Ho-
gan. the grim-faced little fellow
who already has been cited as one
of the greatest comeback athletes
Of all time. was playing steady.
near par. golf. He was out in 81
on the last nine, started back with
a pair of pars and, with seven
holes to play, needed only two
over-par golf to beat the 287 al
ready posted by Fazio. and soon
to be reached by Mangrum.
= This wasn't the sour Hogan Of
old. He was slipping an occasional
coke, smoking chain fashion, nod
ding to the gallery. talking to the
protective police and bantering
with Middlecoff. his playing part
ner. He was walking slowly, al
lowing his caddie to pick the ball
from the cup and permitting
Middlecoff to mark the ball.
Some said this was because Ben
had injured his knee on the 18th
tee. but Hogan wouldn't admit
this. He said that too much al
ready had been written about the
injuries he received when he near
ly lost his life in a bus-auto crash
near Ell Paso, Tex, II months ago.
Puts Start Trouble.
Half the press room inhabitants
had their stories started. Hogan
wouldn't blow three strokes in
seven holes. But the finishing
holes at Merton have beaten many
golfers, one or two as great as
Hogan and much more able
bodied.
Ben's trouble. started when he
three-putted the 18th. Pars fol-
lowed on the 18th and 14th, but
he didn't figure that deceptive
18th green correctly and three
putted again. Now he needed par
to win, and no three last holes in
America are tougher than the
monsters that guard Merion's par
of 10.
Ben Clipped within four feet
from out of the tough rough on
the 10th and dropped his par putt,
and the sweltering survivors of the
record throng crowded in to crown
the comeback kid as champion.
But the 230-yard par three 18th
cost Ben another stroke to par.
His No. iron shot took a bad hop
and ran into a trap. He thought
his approach shot was good, but
the ball stopped at least eight feet
past the cup. His putt for a par
