TampaPlansTo
Field Baseball
Team In 1855

TAMPA R-The Tampa Citizens
Baseball Club isn't giving up base
ball after all.
The team, dropped from the
Class B Florida International
League Wednesday, will start plans
to field a club in 1855, according
to Howard Gardner, president of
the fans-operated corporation.
There's nothing we can do for
the rest of this season." said
Gardner last night at a meeting
of officers and directors, ''but we
hope to get all our affairs straight
ened out and be back in some
league next year, a league of high
er classification if possible"
Gardner told the directors the
club owed the Internal Revenue
Department about $1,000. He said
the club would convert its assets
to help meet its obligations.
Gardner explained Tampa was
dropped from the FIJI because it
was in the poorest financial con-
dition of the five clubs remaining
after Miami quit.

Bannister Thinks 4-Minute
Mile Is Over-Rated Today

OXFORD, England Up - Roger
Bannister, who broke the four
minute mile, drew back into his
shell of shyness today while the
athletic world acclaimed his feat
Of the century.
The quiet, 25-year-old medical
student shattered the world record
with a dazzling 1884 clocking in
the blustery cold here last right
and thus won the race to the peak
of trackdom's Mount Everest-the
four-minute mile.
81 think the four-minute mile
has been overrated," he said quiet
ly as if trying to justify his feat.
AFTER all it's only a time. The
essence of athletics is racing
against an opponent rather than a
clock"
He said he was tired at the end
of the race and that he knew he'd
just about make it to the end.
II think people have been fright
ened of this four-minute mile" he
said. "Now that it's been broken.
Pm sure other runners will break
it, too"
Although the slight 157-pounder
was unimpressed by his great eff
fort, he did acknowledge that the
15-mile-an-hour wind in the Iffley
road track might have cost him
two seconds.
81 think the 1856 mile is within
reach" he said. But he didn't say
he'd be the one to do it.
This was his first race since last
fall and along with his mother and
father, about 1000 spectators were
on hand for the dual meet. 1t was
on the very cinders where eight
years ago he ran his first mile
race as an Oxford freshman-in
more than five minutes.
When he sprinted those last 300
yards to the finish line and sport
ing immortality, experts wondered

COnch InfieId
ReUamped For
2-Ganae Series

The Key West High nine
goes back into action tonight
when they tangle with the
South Broward Bulldogs at
8:15. The Broward team has
a fair record in district play
and could upset Key West
should the Conchs fail to
play their top brand of ball.
A loss to the Bulldogs to-
night could seriously hamp-
en- the Conchs Gold Coast
chances as Miami Tech is
also undefeated with a 80
record.
Coach Davis will use George
Lastres and Don Cruz in that or
der with Leeburg Knowles handling
any relief duty il needed. Big
Julio Henriquez will be on the re-
ceiving end of their losses with
Sidney Kerr ready to step behind
the plate if called on.
The Conch inner defense will be
slightly changed for the Broward
series. Biff Salgado will be at his
regular first base position with
Don Cruz at the hot corner. Lee.
burg Knowles will be at the key
stone sack. Julio Santana, classy
. Conch shortstop, will round out
Key Vests infield.
Harold Solomon will start in left
field with Eloy Rodriguez drawing
the starting assignment in center.
Jerry Pita and Roger Bean are
waging a terrific battle for the
starting berth in right field. Jerry
played a bang up game against
Jackson getting one of the Conchs
five hits and making two beautiful
running catches in the outfield.
Tomorrow's game will be played
at Sis at Wickers Field. The
Conchs have only 4 more home
games following the Broward Ser
les so q good crowd is expected
tonight.
