EAAard Charles
To Meet Bivins

Two veteran heavyweights, jim
my Bivins and Ezzard Charles,
risk termination of recent winning
efforts when they collide in a ten
round feature bout at the Chicago
Stadium on November 26th. Both
are in shape and fighting sharply
and the outcome will be an i'm
portant issue in settling the roll
call of heavyweight challengers.
Charles, former heavyweight
champion, Is undeniably some
thing of a mystery to the experts
and fans who keep an eye on the
ring sport. At times he seems slug
giSh, even spiritless, in his fight
ing; on other occasions, such as
his title defense against Joe Louis
26 months ago, he has displayed
the "tiger" talents that fans ex.
pect in top-rated heavyweights.
Charles last two bouts have SER
we'd notice that he is pointing for a
shot at Rocky Marciano's title.
On October 9Th, he KO'd Bernie
Reynolds in two and on October
oath, he won decisively from Cea-
Sar Brion at New York.
Bivins, 81, of Cleveland, Is con-
sidered to be top-flight test for
any aspiring heavyweight. Jim's
career was recently revitalized
with a flashing, one-punch KO of
Coley Wallace on September 18th
and a decision over Wes BaScom
on October 22nd.
The bout will be broadcast nation
ally over CBS-Radio as the fea-
ture of the Blue Ribbon Bouts pro-
gram. Station CHS will be the local
outlet beginning at 10 pm, East
ern Standard Time. Steve Ellis
will provide the blow-by-blow des-
cription.

CristObal Cridders Will Be
ROundly Feted On Visit Here

The Key West Halfback Club has
completed the arrangements for
the entertainment of the Cristobal
High School football team Mrs.
Glynn Archer, president of that
organization has announced. The
HalfbackS, the women's auxiliary
of the Quarterback Club, is in com
plete charge Of the entertainment
program for the visiting gridders.
The program will get off to
gala start with the arrival of the
football team aboard 81 paSsen-
ger airliner at the Boca Chica
Naval Air Station on Wednesday.
The team will be taken immediate
ly to the Wickers Field Stadium
from the airport for a welcoming
session following which they will
be assigned to Key West homes
where they will stay for the four
days they are here.
On Wednesday evening, the play
erS will be feted at a gala dance
at the Cuban Club FROM 8 to IL p.
m. The dance which is open to the
public will feature a floor show
with students of the Key West High
School participating. Thursday, will
be left to the discretion of the
hosts with the traditional Thanks
giving dinner the feature of the
day. In the afternoon all three
Key West theaters have opened
their doors to the football teams.
A basketball game has been
scheduled for the high school gym
on Thursday evening with the
Conchs meeting the Tigers. The
game will get underway at 500
p. m.

Undertaking the project OF new,
much improved clubhouse was an
accomplishment. All the members
that had anything to do with its
building should be commended, for
without their foresight this would
not have happened.
AS for nine more holes, the play
at the course is becoming a prob
lem that is hard to handle. A
decent round cannot be expected
for this reason. An average for one
week is $50 rounds per day which
is a lot more than any course In
Miami and they have five.
Some will say the club problem
is small compared to other needs
in the city. 1t may be right or
wrong in the way you think, but
if the tourists, Navy and local
golfers are to have a decent course
to play on, then it's the City's
duty to step forward and under
LdhC lIilo iuCdSulCs
Over half of the players are Navy
and the balance tourist and locals.
1t is readily admitted that more
beginners would undertake the
game but the problem being what
it is, they hesitate.
Several of the City Commission
ers have been approached and
asked for their opinion. Their
main argument is that sewage
disposal plant is needed more.
This everyone agrees to but when
can either be expected If no plans
have ever been made.
u is suggested that the Com
missioners met with the Clubs
Board of Directors and discuss
some kind of plan for improve
ment. The City Manager has al
ready blueprinted plans for the
additional holes and all that is
needed is some ready cash. If the
city fathers consider the clubs
needs, the finances could be OBJ
tanned.
Other business attended to was
the nomination of officers for the
coming year. The general election
will be held on Wednesday,, Dec

By GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK Rl-Tnere is c0nSlo-
cradle indignation among the big
league baseball writer's Of the East
because the big league baseball
writers of the Midwest stuffed the
ballot box and elected Hank Sauer
of the Chicago Cubs as the most
valuable player in the National
League for the past season.
AS we get it, what happened was
that the conspirators of the western
half of the circuit cast their votes
almost solidly for Sauer, the slug
ger, while the Fasteners, not Sus-
pecting anything, were dividing
theirs almost equally between the
two pitchers, Joe Black of Brook
lyn and Robin Roberts of the Phils.
The result was that Sauer
squeaked in with 226 points to
Roberts 211 and Blacks 20S. Be-
tween them they drew all but one
of the "a first-place votes. The
Fasteners say that if that is the
way their hair shirt cousins of the
West are going to act, why there's
no use holding the most valuable
election at all.
They do not feel, in other words,
that Sauer, with his .270 unofficial
batting average and his 81 home
runs, contributed anything like as
much to the Cubs as Roberts did
to the Phils with his 28 victories or
Black, the great rookie reliefer, did
in pitching the Dodgers into the
World Series. What raises their
blood pressure in particular is the
fact that one Westerner did not
include Roberts in his first 10
choices and that three of them
didn't give Black a tumble.
A member of the triumphant
bloc would have enjoyed himself
fit to bust if he could somehow
have smuggled himself into the
first meeting of the local chapter

That was when they started

they had something at that time,
