end of 0gden'S main street. The
mellow sunlight of late afternoon
joined with the ring lamps to do
an exceptional lighting job. In the
late rounds the commentator said
the moon was pitching in, too. II
was a night for love and legalized
mayhem.
This writer, among others, heard
the late Mike Jacobs predict that
the time would come when the size
of the crowd at ringside would be
inconSequential and that televiSion
money alone would make every.
one rich. We have a feeling this
was an important milestone toward
realization of the great promoters
dream. Far as we are concerned
they can hold lot more champion
ships in Ogden and let the beer
drinkers pick up the tab.
Here was proof that town not
much bigger than an apple orchard
(but growing fast, mind you) can
stage a big fight as smoothly as
New York or Chicago. 1t was a
professional job in every respect,
granting that the Ogden folks had
right TO see several of their
home state gIadiatorS introduced
on national hookup. Perhaps
they can be talked out of that next
time.
Perhaps the most remarkable
thing of all was the way the two
principals laid into one another for
Is rounds. Those who witnessed
the last scuffle between Archie and
joey at ST. Louis still wake up
some nights in 4 cold sweat, and
yet this time they put on a good,
honest brawl that was well worth

for such a change in Joey. In
fact, the man they call the "OhiO
Killer" because he never hurt any
body much went at his work with
such verve that we imagine the
decision favoring Moore came as a
big surprise to many viewers.

SpicOIa Says He
VIII Make Choice
Early Neat Week

Tom Spicola, president Of
the Tampa Smokers, planned
into town yesterday after
noon to look over the local
baseball situation with a
view to possibly moving his
operation here and after sur
veying the situation, he said
that he liked what he saw.
II am very favorably i'm
pressed with the town and
with the attitude Of the fans
| have met" Spicola declar-
ed. "There is a good possibil-
ity that Key West will have
q baseball team next week. "
But the question of whether Key
West gets the franchise hinges on
three points:
/. Concessions.
2. Support from the City.
3. Interest from the fans.
Spicola, said last night that to
survive, he must have the con-
cession rights at the Wickers Field
stadium. at is no secret that a
baseball club cannot survive with
out concession revenue" he said.
The concessions are leased to
Armando Acevedo until August
18th. City officials are expected to
dicker with Acevedo in an effort
to obtain them if Tampa decides
to move here.
The City Commission will be
asked to provide the baseball park
and other considerations the same
as they offered to do for the Mia
mi Beach Flamingos and the Ha'
vana Cubans, both of whom toyed
with the idea Of moving to Key
West.
AT least three members of the
city commission have indicated
that they will play ball with the
Smoker management.
And the interest the fans demon
strated will play large roll in
whether or not the Smokers make
the switch. 1--WE have got to have
attendance to survive" said Spi
cola.
The next move will be a meet
ing with the city commission
either Monday or Tuesday.
Spicola returned to Tampa to
day but Monday, his aides Gener
al Manager Milton Carr and Eddy
Miller will come to Key West tC
meet with the commission. The
Tampa prexy promised decision
early in the week.
Spicola admitted that Key Yves
has the inside track over TT. Pier
ce, who was also being considered
for the franchise.
He looked over the Wickers FielC
layout yesterday and pronounced
it far superior to the TT. Pierce
Park.

YonnExs Lose Fifth
20 Tribe
BY BEN PHLEcAR
Associated Press Sports Writer

When even the Cleveland Indians
can beat the Yankees maybe it's
time to take this i've game New
York losing streak seriously.
Every other American League
club had defeated the Yankees this
season. But in seven games the
mere sight of New York uniform
caused the second place Indians to
roll over and play dead. So what
happened last night?
The Yankees threw the ball
around in the first inning like fu-
gitiyes from Class D and presented
Cleveland with four gift runs.
Such generosity couldn't be
overlooked, even by the Indians,
and Larrupin' Larry Dolby and
highlander Bob Lemon made sure
it didn't go to waste.
Dolby parked a pair high up into
the seats in the third and fifth inn
ings and only do-or-die ninth
inning tWo-out homer by pinch hit
ter Johnny Mize saved the Yankees
from their third sDutout Of the
year. Mics blow was the last of
only five hits off Lemon. The final
score was 7-2.
Over in the National League the
pace setting Milwaukee Braves
continued to have their troubles,
too. They put up a much sitter
fight than the YANKEES but bowed
to their second place rivals, the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 4-3, on pair
of tWo-run homers by Duke Snider
and Gil Hodges. They now lead
the Dodgers by only one game.
The st. Louis Cardinals, likewise,
are edging up on the Braves. They
took over third place from Phila-
delphia by beating the Phillies, TO,
and are 213 games behind, Gin
cinnati won twihght-night double
header from Pittsburgh, "a, and
Al, and the New York Giants de-
feated Chicago, 96.
A losing streak OF five isn't too
unusual but it is a little amazing
in the case of the Yankees be-
cause they haven't lost any more
than that in a row since cagey
Casey Stengel took over as manag-
er at the start of the 1949 season.
In less than two weeks the
Yanks have frittered away 312
games Of their league lead and al
though they still owl a substantial
eight game bulge over the Indians
the pennant runaway is beginning
to look less and less like a one
horse race.
Even if the Indians faher, the
Chicago White Sox only half a
game behind Cleveland - show
definite indications of being ready
and willing to take up the chal.
lenge,
Fresh from a three-game sweep
over New York, the White Sox
whipped Boston, SIS, last night.
Philadelphia snapped a four-game
st. Louis winning streak, 6-5, and
Detroit beat Washington, 7-3.
Stan Musial, whose bat has been
as hot as the weather the past
week, drove in five runs with two
homers and a double as Stu Miller

NEW YORK R-Who can re-

about as respected a fellow as
there was on a ball club? Now
adays the Brooklyn and New York
Giants managers fill out the rest
of their line-ups and then scout

More on FIuoridution

In The Star of September 8, there
appears letter by Mr.. Murray v.
Churchill, in which he tries to defend
huoridation. would like to offer con-
structive criticism of certain erroneous
opinions which he and many others
have about fluoridation.
Artificial fuoridation is purely an
experiment. Just because the chemical
used in our water system contains
huorides, 1t is no proof the balance Of
its contents is harmless. Yet, the ad-
vocates of artificial f1uoridation seem
to ignore this, merely saying that
people who drink natural f1uorides are
in good health, and since artificial
fluorides have been used since such and
such time and they don't know of
any bad results, why it's certainly OK.
The fallacy of such reasoning is this:
It would be practically impossible to
say there would be no bad results
without very carefully controlled ex-
periments extending over at least 10
years. 1t is no doubt true, for example,
that one cigarette wouldn't hurt any
one. But smoking over q period Of
years could be a different story.
If the authorities insist on expert
menting, then let them form expert
mental groups OF those who advocate
artificial fuorides and let them be the
guinea pigs.

cav. shut up."

"Aw shut up"
This is a favorite phrase of modern
youth.
We heard an old man use it to ad-
vantage the other day.
He was on street car, seated directly
behind callow YOUTH as such once
were called. CNow they are adolescents)
The boy, if he would permit the word.
was whistling vigorously.
Some persons, of course, do not like
whistling in public.
Evidently the old man resented the
young mans shrill sounds. To tell the
truth, they were pretty loud.
Finally the man could stand it no
longer.
Jaw, shut up" he said distinctly. but
not loudly, in the young fellows ear.
The reaction was amusing.
Not by turn of his head, or even
hair, did he let on that he had heard.
But he never uttered another sound.
Peace, or such imitation of it as
aboundS in a public vehicle, descended.
In this case it descended almost with
a bang.
If the boy did not turn, a woman
seated beside him did.
The amazed look upon her face made
the oldster wonder.
