Mickey Saves
Counties $4,000

Abe Mickey, Bowling Green,
fifth district candidate for demo
cratic state committeeman, has
decided that he will not ask
boards of election to spend ap
proximately $4,000 to reprint bal
lots which have been prepared
with an error in his name.
Mickey discovered that ballots
in Fulton, Williams, Defiance and
Putnam counties have his name
as Abraham N. Mickey while in
the five other counties of the dis
trict, his name is correct as Abra
ham H. Mickey.
Secretary of State Ted Brown
said he could ask that the ballots
be reprinted, but Mickey did no
want the boards to go to this ex
ira expense if his opponents, Atty
Paul Miller, North Baltimore, ant
Ralph o. Brown, Hoytville farmer
would not contest counting tn,
ballots with the wrong initial.
Miller and Brown have signet
such an agreement with the Woo,
County Board of Elections. Nicke,
stated he would take his chance
/ on winning the nomination an,
would save the four counties tn
reprinting bill of about $4,000

A&P Meats Prove
To Be Super Right


At Port Clinton's new A & P
super market, as we'll as at all
other A & P Food Stores, custo-
mers see the least attractive side
of packaged meat while the best
side is on the bottom of the pack
age,
A & P packages meat this way
for two good reasons. It wants you
to be pleasantly surprised rather
than displeased when you open
the package at home, and it wants
you to buy your prepackaged meat
with constantly increasing conf
dence.
Each week hundreds of tons of
meat products are shipped daily
from the warehouse supplying
your local A & P super market.
The company buys from local and
Acknowledgements packers, and all
its meat is subjected to federal,
state and city inspections based
on sanitation of packing plants
and health of the animal. Only
government graded prime and
choice beef, veal and lamb are
purchased by the company.
Self-serviee, Of course, is the
newest trend in meat retailing and
A & P has been converting rapidly
to this method of operation. The
company uses its own Super Right
method of cutting and trimming
to give the customer a uniform
product that assures the most for
her money.

.ToStart Today

WIMBLEDON, England NEThe
6Sth Al-England lawn tennis cham.
pionships opened today but the
field is 50 big and complex it will
be late tomorrow afternoon before
all the players get started.
The first match today pitted
defending champion Vic Seixas Of
Philadelphia against Godfrey Cash
Of Darlington, Eng, 4 club player
and Oxford man. No. 1 seeded
Tony Trabert Of Cincinnati met
Paul Wooller of England, another
club player.
Mems singles and q scattered
few doubles will cover tomorrow.
From then on, through July 3,
excepting Sunday, women and
men will alternate. The mems
single championship will be decid.
ed Friday, July 2, and the women
July 3.
The field of 12S men and sc
women was expected to shake Il.
self down into an American vs..
Australian fight In practically all
departments.
Of the first eight men in the
seedlings, four are American and
four Australian. The mems dou.
bles seedlings are evenly divided
and 50 are the mixed doubles.
Only In women's singles do Aus.

choice to continue the dominance.
Lewis Hoad, the top Australian
is seeded second and is picked by
q few London tennis writer's over
the A.year-old Trabert.
Maureen Connolly Of San Diego,

Don Cruz Hurls Sitter
In First Professional Tilt
Key Wester
Hurts Cocoa
To Victory

Key Vests Don Cruz
picked up his first profess
ional pitching victory last
night when he fashioned .
three hit performance as the
Cocoa Indians downed De-
Land, 6-1.
Cruz was signed to q
Brooklyn Dodger contract
with a bonus at the close Of
the Key West High School
baseball season and farmed
out. to Cocoa for seasoning.
In losing last nights
game, the DeLand club man
aged to bunch the three hits
Cruz allowed them In the
fourth frame and score their
only run.
Cruz hurled only six innings Of
the ball game since It was the
final tilt of the first half Of the
Florida State League race and
had no bearing on the standings,
H. d. Murdoch, president Of the
club told The Citizen today.
Cruz retired five batters via
the strikeout route in the six in
nings he worked. His control was
needle sharp as he walked only
one man.
The IS year old Key Wester,
who was given q professional con-
tract on his performance as an
infielder as well as q pitcher, has
been seeing plenty Of action for
Cocoa in the infield.
1.-THE Dodgers wanted vs. to
shift him around and take q look
at him in every position" said
Murdoch. we've tried him at
short and third base and he did
al right"
Cruz has been having . little
trouble at the plate however. He
has picked up just two hits thus
far.
Cocoa will take the road TO-
night for q series with Lakeland
as they open their bid for the Sec
ond half ISL crown.
