Of Lauderdale

MIAMI R-Directors of the Class
B Florida International League to-
day took over the Fl. Lauderdale
franchise and announced they will
operate the team until new owners
can be found.
Officials of the club, headed by
o. r. Whidden, announced at a
meeting in Fl. Lauderdale Wednes-
day night that they have given
up the franchise.
League President Henry S. Bay
nard, St. Petersburg, said stock
holders told him they did not wish
to put any more money into the
venture. They had taken over the
franchise last winter.
Baynard said in Miami that he
would call a meeting of league
directors at Tampa today or Fri
day to decide on the next move.
He indicated the league would OPP
crate the club until a new owner
can be found
Ft. Lauderdale, doormat of the
eight-team circuit, won eight and
lost 43 games in league competi-
ton this year. The Braves dropped
20 straight to start the season.
Fl. Lauderdale joined the league
in 1947, along with st. Petersburg.
The circuit was organized in 1916
with Miami, Miami Beach, Tampa,
Havana, Lakeland and West Palm
Beach as members.
Later the league Vas raised from
Class c to Glass B. Fit Lauderdale
is the first team to drop out.
League directors repeatedly have
received overtures from Key West
and Sarasota and there was a
possibility the franchise might be
moved to either of those cities.

Behind the two hit pitching of

feated the Coates, Al, in the first
game of a scheduled softball
doubleheader at Bayview Park
last night.
Coates drew first blood in the
first inning on a walk and Reut-

ploded for four runs in the fifth
on two walks, a fielder's choice,
and doubles by Harold Solomon
and Donnie Cruz to clinch the
game.
Williams, in notching his first
victory, struck out eight and
walked four. After the first in
ming, only one man reached third
off Williams. Solomon was the
hitting star, collecting two doubles
and single in three official trips
to the plate. Lemieuv, Coates
pitcher, limited Coca Cola to six
hits, but his seven walks kept

In the nightcap, young Clint

TO a I'll victory over the Amber
jack to gain his second straight
victory
General Electric gave Warren a
run lead in the first inning when
Pilgrim tripled to right and scor-
ed easily on Lightcap's safety.
They made it 20 in the fourth
on Foley's single, an error, and
Smiths double to right.
The Amberjack jumped on
Warren for four hits in the fifth,
but the best they could do was
come up with one run. Poor base
running, plus some untimely hit
ting caught the Amberjack' S
threat 20 die. The Amberjack
threatened to tie the score in the
sixth when Capt tripled to right,
but ne was cut down at the
plate when Brown bounced TO
Warren who threw to the plate to
nab the sliding Capt.

two singles in two official trips

Pirates Can
.Ciinch Cellar
By July 4th
BY JACK HAND

Wrong way Pittsburgh is running
away from the National League.
Without much trouble, the Pirates
can clinch last place by July 4th.
Racing backward at a breath
taking .179 pace, they promise to
find the answer to How low is
down." Unless there is a drastic
change, they should set a modern
day losing record in the majors.
Just look at the figures. Won z;
lost 81; games behind, 211z. Games
behind seventh place, GA. And the
season is only one fourth over.
If the BUGS keep it up they'll
wind up with % victories for the
year. Back in 1915 the Philadelph-
ia AS set the modern low with a
36-117 season. In 1885 the Boston
Braves finished with 3S-115, the
National League record. Once up
on time, way back in 1899, a
Cleveland team managed TO win
only 20 all year. But 1900 usually
is the dividing line for modern
records.
Maybe Branch Rickey's youth
movement win pay off in the future
books. He has no-hit pitchers and
n strikeout artists in the lower
minors, But the collection now per-
forming at Pittsburgh certainly is
learning the hard way.
They lost another, Wednesday
night, So, to Cincinnati as the
veteran Kenny Raffensberger won
his sixth of the season. Bobby
Adams and Roy Mcmillan hit
homers to ease Raffy home past
Red Munger. Jack Merson hit a
homer for the BUGS.
In the upper strata of the
league, Jim Hearn pitched the New
York Giants to a third straight
over Brooklyn 6-2, opening up a
pa game lead on the Dodgers. It
was the last game for Willie Mays,
Giants centerfielder, who reports
for Army duty today.
The Chicago Cubs, once a push
over for Harry Brecheen, chased
THE Cat" for the third straight
time in beating the St. Louis Cards,
7-2, in the other National League
game.
Detroit just won't let Cleveland
forget how the Indians knocked
them out of the pennant in 1850.
Last fall they beat Cleveland out
of the flag in late September. And
now they're kicking them around
again.
Against Cleveland, the Tigers
forget their dreary last place rec
ORD. When Ted Gray beat the tribe
Wednesday night, 6-2, it was De-
troit's fourth win in q row over
Cleveland. Pat Mullins fluke two
run double when he ducked away
from a Mike Garcia pitch and
sloppy Cleveland fielding broke
Garcia's five-game win streak.
Old Satchel Paige strolled in "a
save Bobby Gains fourth win al
St Louis as the Brownies broke
their four game losing streak In
beating Chicago 81. The other
American League teams were no,
scheduled.
