Marlin Stuart, recent acquisition
from the Orioles.
The Indians combined three
hits, sacrifice fly and four
walks by Bob Turley to score all
their runs in the second inning
as Mike Garcia registered his
18th triumph. Bobby Avila's
two-run double was the key
blow.
The White Sox smashed is
hits, including a home run by
Ron Jackson, the 20-year -old
bonus first baseman, as they
won their seventh straight
Briggs Stadium game. Billy
Hoeft failed for the ninth
straight time at his home park.
The Braves nipped the Cubs,
10, as Chet Nichols outhurled
Howie Pollet in a southpaw duel.
Danny O'Connell's seventh-in-
ming single followed by Jim
Pendleton's double accounted for
the lone run.
Peanuts Lowrey's pinch single
with the bases loaded and two
out in the 18th gave the Cardi-
mails their second straight VIC
tory over the Redlegs. 5-4. Rain
washed out the scheduled twi-
night doubleheader between
Pittsburgh and the Phillies.

his 18th of the year-and his
10th off Red Sox pitching. !.
The Giants became the first
team to reach the 100 mark in
home runs with their four clouts
into the Ebbets Field stands last
night. The Dodgers have 95
homers and the Cubs are third
with 81.
Don JohnSon's shutout of the
Tigers left him with an unusual
record. The ex-Washington

the Pirates for Cal Abrams has
paid off. !. The seasoned OUT
fielder got four Of the teams six
hits last night and has a .3l6

Head Card Today in
Mid Atlantic Tennis
BY cospor Nonnes

Two new players to the wom-
ems Middle Atlantic clay court
tennis championships will clash
In the seminal round at I pm.
today at the Edgemoor Club.
Connie Ball. Florida State
champion. seeded No. 2, and
Marjorie Norris. former Rollins
College star. seeded No. Z, will
meet in what should be one Of
the tournaments most interest
ing contests. Miss Ball is noted
for her consistent play while
Miss Norris has 3 strong attack
ing game. Both have been inn
pressiye In their matches to
date.
In the other semifinal match.
two old rivals. Mrs. Ann Gray
and Charlotte Decker. will meet
for the umpteenth time, with
Miss Decker still seeking her
first victory over the perennial
top-ranking Washington woman
PLAYER. They viii meet at 8 pm.
Mems Quarter Finals Today.
Two close contests are ex-
pected in the mems quarter
finals today. In the first match,
at 3 pm. Ted Rogers, former
national junior champion, will
face Fred McNair. who has been
playing top-flight tennis this
summer.
The other match will pit Phil
Neff. surprise winner yesterday
over AL Jacoby, against Charles
Masterson. seeded No. 2. at S
pm.
Jacoby and Neff battled for
az hours yesterday before the
former Georgetown University
player eked out the victory, 2-6,
ga, Us. In the first set
Jacoby had his heavily-topped
drives under good control and
swept through the defense Neff
threw up without much trouble.
E Neff looked as though he we're
going to rush through the Sec
ond set when he took a Al
lead. Then Jacoby added pres
sure to his singing drives and
quickly evened the score at
4-all. But two double faults on
Jacoby's delivery caused him to
drop the vital game and set.
JacOby Starts Missing.
In the third set. Jacoby ap-
peared to have the match won
when he broke through for a
53 lead on a series of drive
placements. Neff frightened his
play at this point and Jacoby
started to miss shots he previ-
ously had made. Nef thus took
four straight games to win the
set and match.
Tim Coss, seeded No. 1, proved
entirely too resourceful for young
Bobby Bortner of Richmond. who
has been the sensation Of the
tournament to date. Coss
handled Bortner's hard serve
with ease and turned the lat
ter's rushes to the net back by
timely lobs and well placed pass
ing shots. He won, 6-2, 6-2
Coss will meet the winner Of the
McNair- Rogers match sin tornor-
rows serniflnals. l
Jim Thackara staged a minor
upset by. decisively beating Buzz
zie Hettleman of Baltimore,
I'6-2, 6-3. A close match was
expected as Hettleman had de-
faulted to Thackara last year
after reaching match point. But
yesterday the Washington star,
seeded No. Z, was too consistent
for his opponent, seeded fourth.
Thackara. who usually stays in
the back court, surprised Hettle-
man by taking the net at every
chance and hitting overheads
and volleys for outright winners.
It was a fine victory for the for
mer Middle Atlantic champion.

Tomorrow"
Remember our first bet, on the Slavin-
Malone 6ght?" she asked. And when he
nodded she went on swiftly, 'You were very
sick then, so sick you didn't care much about
anything. You'd even lost track of time"

1t wasn't very fair bet
It was fascinating to watch the anger fading
from his thin face, leaving it fiat and nom
committal mask. Cute" he said finally.
That was one bet The Others - did you
have gimmick with them, too?"
The same gimmick,' she said gently.
After that, all you ever saw were day-old
newspapers. You were betting on things that
had already happened. So you didn't win

Il was running twenty-four hours slow,
he said.
Something like that"

ing her with delighted admiration. you
had a twelve-hundred- dollar chump, he said,
and you turned him loose
HEN, suddenly, he was laughing. And sud-
denly, with little catch in her throat, Miss
Burke was remembering that this was the
first time she had ever heard him laugh.
1t was boyish laugh, uproarious, .unre-
strained; it was infectious enough 50 that pres
emily Miss Burke joined in the merriment.
Between them they stirred up quite a
clamor, enough in time to bring Miss Altman
to the door. Stern of face, the head nurse
came charging in. shocked by such untoward
carryings-on within the sacred confines of
Valley View.
She was laughing when she left The End

instant his eyes were bright with old men,
cries. I'D forgotten all about it." A thin
smile twitched his lips. who do you like
today?"
With Reynolds pitching? The Yanks. of
course" Miss Burke said
For fifty?"
She nodded. You've made another bet,
Beautiful" said Blaney.
1T IS history now that the Yanks won the
first game of the series. So did Miss Burke.
The Yanks won the second game, ditto Miss
B. The Yanks dropped the third game, of
course, but it 50 happened that Miss Burke
had chosen that day to change horses out of
a mystic faith in the magic of Carl Erskines
educated arm. So. while the Yanks were los
ing, Miss Burke was still on the winning side.
Counting on Brooklyn's revived spirit, she
stuck with the Buns for the fourth game
and won again.
She was back in the fold with the Stengel
men for the fifth and sixth games, both of
which. it will be recalled, the Yanks won.
When it was over the Yanks had taken the
series, four to two. but little Miss Burke had
made clean sweep, six and nothing. Which,
translated into financial terms. meant that
she now had Jim Blaney on the hook for $3.50
in IOUs
The sick man liked it not at all. He seemed
to find it distressing that this blonde nurse
who looked like lovely child playing grown
up in her crisp uniform should have taken
him to the cleaners so thoroughly in what is
regarded as mans game.
He sulked. 1t was, in Miss Burke's book,
he had been receiving his nourishnent intra-
venously. he now called for tray of food.
She was delighted. You're on your way.
Jim," she said
He nodded gloomily. yeah. On my way
to bankruptcy gotta get my strength back
and get out of here before you ruin me-"
What do you want on the tray?"
"A steak So thick" He indicated. Some
French fries. Quite lot of French fries. Sliced
tomatoes. Apple pie. Coffee - three cups of
coffee"
She brought him broth, wisp of toast. a
cup of weak tea. He mopped it up and glared
at her belligerently. What goes on today?
I've got to get my money back"
She consulted the paper. Joey Blanco and
Honeyboy Hogan are fighting in Chicago
tonight"
Pick your corner"
Joey" she said.
For fifty?"
She nodded. The bet was on.
1T BECAME routine, pattern. Each day the
sick man and his nurse scanned the newspaper
for items on which to bet. They bet on prize
fights, horse races. football games, once even
on the weather. At fifty dollars throw it was
gaudy gambling for sick CT and nurse in
Miss Burke's income-tax bracket, but with
both it was deadly serious business
Blaney was determined to win back the

terribly sorry for Blaney. the man who didn't
care. She had reached the unprofessional con-
clusion that, given fifty pounds, haircut and
a different disposition, he might be rather
attractive guy.
On his eleventh day at Wv, Blaney made his
mistake. He opened his mouth for the Their
mometer. and failed to close it when Miss
Burke removed the instrument. Instead, with
a sick mans irritability, he tried to argue.

negative evidence Of the thermometer Miss
Burke's first thought was of fever. She stared.
"Wh -at?"
Blaney nodded weakly toward his table

Malone
SUDDENLY she understood. She had adopted
habit of leaving an open newspaper propped
on Blaney' table in the hope that some chance
item might stir the sick mans interest. Appar-
entity she had succeeded. Back by bowl of
flowers newspaper lay open at the sporting
page. Big headlines proclaimed

regarded the picture thoughtfully.
Blaney had abandoned the subject. Eyes
closed, he was drifting away from her. She
spoke sharply. You're wrong, Blaney. Slavin
can whip Malone every day in the week."
Don't bet on it, Goldilocks."
But" said Miss Burke, I'D like to bet on
it. About fifty dollars Id like to bet on it. If
you feel like gambling, mister"
He was YEARLY annoyed. MY moneys
tied up. You know that"
The old top sergeant was peering over the
ramparts now You've got eighteen months
of accumulated back pay waiting for you

crisply. I'm take an lou if you lose"
He wasn't interested He didn't want to
argue and he didn't want to bet. The brief
exchange had wearied him; he wanted to for
get the whole affair He took the easy way.
"Okay," he whispered. ''Okay, Baby. it's
bet Now please 60 away"
ON THE following morning. with only mini
mum of gloating, Miss Burke read to him the
story of the fight. Bat Slavin had planted
Malone among the daisies in the fifth round.
When she had finished Blaney called for pencil
and paper. painfully scratched lou $50"
and signed it with shaky hand
Thanks. chump, said Miss Burke brightly.
She kissed the lou before tucking it away.
This beats working for living. Are you by
any chance baseball expert also?"
He looked up at her curiously. "Why?"
THE World Series starts today" she said,
and showed him the headline Il thought"
she went on. you might want that fifty back. :"

1OU's, but his nurse was making
it grim, uphill affair. In the
matter of forecasting future
events Miss Burke was better
than good; she was uncanny.
Sometimes Blaney won, of -
course. He won just often enough.
as Miss B pointed out sweetly, -
to keep him coming back. He ~
never won enough to spoil him. ~
He fought like hooked rainbow
trout but he never quit trying. In
his preoccupation he forgot his
illness, but even as his health
improved his financial position
continued to deteriorate.
In his spare time he invented
picturesque names to apply to
Miss Burke - the Blonde Ban

and "Jessica James" and the WOW
like - but none of it seemed to once
help. The IOU's piled up At one
time she had him in the bucket
for sixteen hundred dollars before, during
hectic week of football games, he brought it
back to twelve hundred even.
Then, all at once. it seemed, he was ready
for surgery. He scowled up at her before they
wheeled him down the hall to the elevator.
Don't try to get away, Beautiful he
warned. That money still belongs to me =
you're just carrying it around. III be back
to get it"
She laughed at him. IN be waiting,
Chump."
For two days, after surgery. he was too sick
to worry over IOU's. On the third morning
when she took his temperature he was bright
eyed. grinning and hungry. He called for food,
a newspaper - and radio.
Miss Burke blinked. "A radio?" she said.
IF I'm going broke" said Blaney, Il want
to hear my money depart. As of now owe
you twelve hundred fish. aim to get it back"
you don't owe me anything, Jim," she
said slowly.
She brought from her pocket roll made up
of many small slips of paper neatly folded and
held with rubber band. While the puzzled
Blaney watched she tore the small bits into
smaller bits and these she deposited in the
wastebasket Then she brushed her hands
lightly.
There go your IOU's." she said.

in the silent room. VERY pretty. Headline

Ted Williams, who may not come

voted today as having made the
greatest comeback of the 1854 sea-

The mighty slugger of the Bos-

OUTBOARD
ROUNDUP
By DAVID MASON

The Key West Outboard Club held
their annual election of officers to
serve though 1855 at the regular
Friday night meeting.
This election was more spirited
than any in the past. The member
ship turned out almost 100 per cent
Genial Bill Porter was re-
elected to the Commodore post.
Bob Schnoneck won the Vice Com
modore seat. David Mason fell heir
to the Rear Commodore spot.
Waldo Collins was reelected as
secretary (also known as the hot
seat). Jerry Schnaedelbach gained
the treasurer's seat.
Would like to give both Bill Por-
ter and Waldo Collins a pat on the
back, personally. l think both did
credit to the club in the past year
and truly earned their reelection.
The Club house, Saturday night,
was the scene of Children'S Xmas
Party and later in the evening TAX
en- over by the adults. The small
building was bulging at the seams,
which means an addition to the
building will have to get underway
soon.
