NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The
stock market entered the first
week of the year at bounding
pace. but it made a Sedate exit.
The weeks performance was not
convincing, although on average
the market was ahead.
There were a number of major
news developmentS-notably two
presidential speeches-and there
also was a major technical test
which the market failed to
meet.
At the close of the year, the
stock market was under terrific
pressure from the sales of securi-
ties to register gains or losses
for tax purposes.
All that was out of the way
on Monday morning when the
market opened. Cash money
from the selling was at hand
for reinvestment, and that
helped to push prices higher. In
the end there were more gamers

than at any time since mid -Oc-
tober.
Some hesitancy developed in
the market on Tuesday. as it
usually does on the eve /of a
presidential speech.
Wednesdays market was rela-
lively quiet, with the average
price down a shade but with
more gamers than losers. The
market didn't break through the
barrier, but it didn't back away.
The action Of Thursdays mar
ket was significant. Prices held
steady with minor dips right on
through the delivery Of President
Eisenhower's State-of-the Union
message. The message itself was
regarded as bullish for the long
pull by most Wall Street analysts.
Then in the afternoon there
were announcements of addi-
tional layoffs in the automobile
industry. That unsettled market
sentiment, and Immediately
prices started to turn down.
Was the selling caused by the
auto layoffs? Or was that just
an excuse that traders used to
start selling?
Late on Friday. prices began
to improve from their lows and
the volume Of business picked up
right away.
That, it was said in Wall
Street, is good.

year-old Joe Lopez, Jr. de-

for the Key West Golf Club
championship on the Stock
Island links Sunday.
Lopez, defeated Witzel 2

up his first major title.
The finalists t r a d e d
strokes in a grim battle,
which will go down in the
books as one of the most STIR
ring matches in the annals
of local golf, right down to
the wire before Lopez sank
a two-foot putt on the final
hole to c1inch the victory.

Is while Witzel carded IA.
The final round started Saturday
and at the end of that play, Lopez
held 1-up margin over Witzel,
three-time Navy champ. Lopez
carded a Y in that round and Wit
eel had 70.
The drama that capped off the
struggle for the coveted club
toga occurred on the 36th hole.
Lopez held a one-up lead as they
stepped to the tee on the tortuous
$40 yard test.
Dramatic Moment
An edge on that hole would put
Witzel in a tie for the match and
sent the match into extra holes.
Lopez had a chance of winning
the match.
Both hit booming tee shots and
followed up with approaches that
put them little bit short and to
the right of the green.
Witzel pitched to within five feet
Of the cup and Lopez followed
with shot that left him lying two
feet from the pin.
The match hinged on those puts.
Witzel missed his and conceded
Lopez to end the match.
AS Sundays round got underway,
it appeared that the match might
not be as close as predicted.
Lopez started off to burn up the
course. He fired successive brides
on the first three holes, pared the
fourth and garnered another birdie
on the fifth to give him the lead
four-up.
Lead Shrinks
But his lead shrank on the back
nine when his putting, thus far
flaWleSS, began to falter.
Lopez driver is credited with
the big factor in making him the
youngest golfer ever to win a local
club title. Although he's only five
feet, nine inches tall and weighs
but 14O-pounds, Lopez didn't hit
anything under $50 yards Sunday.
Only tee shot anywhere near off
the button was on the 18th hole
when he pulled his drive about
five feet into the rough at the
left of the fairway. But he recov-
cred nicely and racked up a par.
Lopez, who has played some out
standing golf here in recent weeks
will make a bid for further golf
ing honors July 22nd when he
plays in the Florida Open Tourney
in Tampa.
