MIAMI, Fla. R-Miami and
Tampa, the two biggest cities in
the Florida International League
with a combined. population of
more than 100000, were out of it
today and the Class B circuit pre-
pared to finish the season with
four teams.

seasons left the league with fran

President DaleNMiller announced
that Miami had given up and
Tampa'S withdrawal was accepted

tors last night.
A. L. Rubio, general manager
Of the Miami Sun Sox, told the
league Sunday that his team could
not continue because Jose Aleman,
owner of the franchise and of
spacious Miami Stadium, refused
to put any more money into the
club.
Howard Gardner, president of
the Tampa club, said after Miami
withdrew the directors voted to
drop the weakest club financially
and that was Tampa.
Three-game series will start to-
night with Miami Beach at Talla-
hassee and st. Petersburg at West
Palm Beach. On May 9, 10 and II,
Tallahassee will be at West Palm
Beach and Miami Beach at St..
Petersburg.
Miami gave up after Brooklyn
refused to take over operation of
the team or permit their players
Optioned to the Sun Sox to be used
in another city. 1t was reported
that overtureS were made by Fort

Brooklyn also refused to put the
team in Dodgertown at Vero

Lemon Win.
.5th Game
For Indians

White Sos,
Yankees Win
BY BEN PHLECAR
AP Sports Writer

Bob Lemon looked at his 40
record today, doublechecked the
date, and began wondering if this
is the season he escapes his May
jinx.
The 33-year-old Cleveland right.
handler, busiest pitcher in the
American League in 1852 and 1853,
has won at least 20 games in five
of the last six years. But May has
been his hard-luck month.
Last night, in his first May ap-
pearance this season, he coasted
to a 7-2 victory over the Phila-
-delphia Athletics. It was his fifth
start, his fourth complete game.
Two years ago he won % and
lost II but he was beaten in two
Of his first four starts and really
hit the skids when May came. He
dropped five out of six in a bad
spell that ran into June.
Last season he baffled Chicago
with an opening-day one-hitter and
ran up 80 mark. Came May 1
and he lost his first game. He was
beaten in his next three appear
ancSs, all in May. Once June ar
rived he found his form again and
finished with 21-15 record.
He has pitched considerably bet
ter than he did last night, but
with a 40 lead after three innings
he never was in serious trouble.
He walked five and the AS reached
him for nine hits, including home
run by Vic Power. Dave Philley's
three-run homer in the sixth
clinched matters for the Indians.
The weather put less of a dent
in yesterdays schedule than at any
other time this week. Only one
game-Detroit at Boston - was
postponed.
Washington's Bob Porterfield,
the American Leagues biggest
winner last season, shaded Bob
Keegan of the Chicago White .Sox
10 for his first shutout. Baltimore's
Bob Turley lost two-hitter for
the second time this year, AZ to
the New York Yankees.
In the National League, Phila-
delphia made it two in a row over
st. Louis 1913; Milwaukee beat
Pittsburgh Al; Brooklyn whipped
Chicago TO; and Sal Maglie of the
New York Giants was beaten for
the first time after winning four,
II by Cincinnati.
The pitching duel at Washington
was broken up in the eighth in.
ming when Keegan, who had won
three in a row, walked Roy Sievers
with the bases loaded. Porterfield
scattered four hits. Keegan gave
up five. ~>..
Turley's wildness proved his
downfall as Baltimore paid its first
visit to Yankee Stadium. The fast
balling Highlander walked the
bases full in the fifth, watched one
run come home on sacrifice bunt
by Eddie Lopat and then after an
other walk served up fat pitch
that Joe Collins blasted to deep
left center for a three-run triple.
The hit was the Yanks' first of the
game. The victory was Lopat's
fourth straight.
Robin Roberts came back "a
hours after being knocked out by
the Cardinals and checked the
Redbirds on seven hits. His mates
solved five St. Louis pitchers for
10 safeties, including four singles
by Earl TorgeSon.
The Cubs had hit at least one
home run in every game this
spring until they met up with their
old teammate Russ Meyer. The
Brooklyn left-hander shut them out

Treaty Power Issue Revived
In Move for Reconsideration

when they were doubtful of get
ting two-thirds of the Senate
to ratify the agreements as
treaties.
The opponents argued that
the two-thirds requirement in
the Senate was a protection to
the States against having their
laws changed by treaties. Sena-
tor George met this argument
yesterday by suggesting a con-
stitutional amendment under
which no executive agreement
which affects a valid law in this
country could be enforced in
the courts unless it had been
ratified by two-thirdS OF the
Senate.
Tougher Than Earlier Plan.
This would be equivalent to
saying that an agreement which
involves internal law would have
to be submitted to the Senate
as a treaty.
When some one suggested to
Senator George that his new
proposal to raise all international
agreements to the level of
treaties If they involve internal
law. is tougher than his earlier
plan, he replied. 1T is intended

Lung Cancer Deaths Rise
81 Pei. Here in Two Years

Deaths from lung cancer in
the District have increased 81
per cent from 1850 through 1852,
according to figures at the can
Ger register of the District
Health Department.
The figures show 142 persons
died of lung cancer here in 1852
as compared to IS during 1850.
While the rise follows the ma
tional pattern of deaths from
lung cancer, a spokesman for the
register said the increase could
conceivably be attributed to bet
ter X-ray techniques and i'm
proved diagnostic procedures. In
short, more cases have been dis
covered.
The cause Of lung cancer is
still unknown. Heavy cigarette
smoking has been linked to the
cause Of lung cancer in some
medical circles, as has the wide
variety of fumes present in most
cities.
Locally a committee has been
formed to study the apparent ir-
crease in lung cancer.
