Sports
Roundup

TAMPA H-Successiye visits to
the camps of the champion New
York Yankees and the Chicago
White Sox brings one a striking
sense Of the futility of trying to
stop Casey Stengel's club short
of its sixth straight American
League flag.
II the yankees are to be finally
halted and the younger league
saved from slow disintegration,
the White Sox either will have to
win the race themselves or give
Cleveland powerful lot Of help.
So you look at the two teams as
they grid for the battle and you
wonder if there is any real basis
for comparison.
The difference is that when the
Yankee regulars take the field you
are looking at q Stand0ut ball
player in nearly every position.
When you look at the White Sox
team you see, outside the pitching
box, only one outstanding star who
would be sure to break into the
champions lineup and stay there
|-0utfielder Orestes Minosos.
Seldom on contending club
as the Sox were for much of last
Season-has there been such a
tremendous disparity between one
man and the rest Of the team as
there was between the Cuban bril-
liant and his teammates. One
wonders how General Manager
Frank Lane even talked about
getting tough with Minnie during
their brief salary dispute.

The only serious weakness Of the

STOCK CAR
ROUNDUP

The Sunday afternoon Stock Car
races at Boca Chica track remind
ed everyone Of the old wild west
Rodeos motorized. There seemed
to be an epidemic Of spins and
crashes. The cars were well match
ed and each race a thriller.
Several merchants Of Key West
awarded extra prizes for each race,
which encouraged the drivers to
mix it up.
The first elimination heat was
taken by Jimmy Garnder in car
no. 9. Bob Turner placed second,
Frenchy Larue third. Second eli
mination went to Jerry Hinde driy-
ing car no. II. Second to Bud Nc.
Gee Of Miami, third to Lloyd
Christopher.
The first semi-tinal was taken
by Bob Turner this was a thriller
all the way, with Paul TOPPING
setting the pace most of the way,
and relinquishing the lead only In
the last few feet. Frenchy Larue
was third. '''' "
Second Seminal was taken by
Rip Ault, known around the track
as the "speed merchant. Smiley
Richardson, second, and Kulbe
third.
The consolation was another
thriller, with five car pile up on
the north turn, which resemhled
Cohen's junk yard. They untangled,
and those with their wheels left on
went right on and made it a race,
which was won by Jolting Joe Pc
rez. Rip Ault took the three car
trophy dash, beating Paul TOPPING
and Reese Thompson. Rip came
right back and proved that dis
lance is no problem to him and
no. 40, in the fifteen lap main
event he moved up from far back
in the field to take first place from
his staunchest rival, Bob Turner
who saved second. Paul TOPPING
third and fourth place went to Jim

the USS Wilke, was the winner of
the gate prize, Two Fried Chicken

cRUcIAN RURAL PROGRESS PROGRAM PLANNED
REPRESENTATIVES, Of the Departments Of Health, Education, of
tFe u. S. Department Of Agriculture and of the st. Criox Chamber
Commerce met at the Agricultural Station n December l6 to make
ans for insututing q Rural Progress Program, which will begin
j February + 1854.
THIS type Of progress program is probably the first Of its kind
to be conducted IN the Virgin Islands, although several States on
tie mainland have used similar programs and found them to be a
very successful method for stimulating rural progress
Briefly stated, a rural progress program is a timed campaign in
which families and government agents cooperate in carrying for
ard a few items from the program Of each Of the different agencies
which work with these families. Before this idea was conceived,
home economics and vocational agriculture teachers, health workers,
agricultural extension, FILA and Soil Conservation Service agents
all worked hard but separately along the lines of their particular
organization Since, their ultimate goal is the same-improvement Of
rural family life, these organizations are now uniting their efforts
and they find that much more. can be accomplished through this
union.
BUTthe rural progress program does not mean uniting Of rural
families to work actively towards their own improvement and
progress.
TO add interest and incentive, for each improvement actually
made under the TtuAl progress program the participant is given a
numbered ticket which makes him eligible for one of the prizes at
the grand drawing which takes place at the end of the campaign.
In the States, these prizes are made possible through the generous
contributions of merchants, businessmen and other citizens who
realize that rural progress also means community progress.
OTHERS have already seen the benefits to be derived from this
type of program. We are starting the first Crucian Rural Progress
Program on Friday February /, i 954, with hopes of reporting start
ling results by August 81 when the trial campaign ends.
