Commission OK's Biltmore Agreement

May Approve Special Rates For Gableites City Manager W. T. McIlwain said this morning that Herbert Bastian, Assistant Director of the Real Estate Board for the Veterans Administration, left Saturday morning for Washington to secure final approval of the measure that will lease the Biltmore golf course to the city. At a special meeting of the city commission Friday morning at City Hall, McIlwain said, the commission approved the agreement made with the Veterans Administration representatives regarding the acquisition. "There was no disagreement regarding the terms between the city and the government," McIlwain emphasized. The commission may also act on a proposal to allow special rates for the use of the course by residents of Coral Gables. A tentative rate for greens fees has been considered unofficially. The matter is on the commision agenda for Tuesday night's meeting.

Second Round Of Riviera Tourney Without Upsets

Play in the Riviera Country club second round of the Club and Class Championship tournament ran true to form Sunday at the Blue Road course, and when the day wound up eight golfers were still in the running in the top flight. Tom Shelley, Henry Russell, Jack Baldwin, W. L. Thornquist, Jim Lowry, George Swanson, Carroll Latimer and Jimmy Maxwell will continue into the third round of match play to be played this week, Leonard Ott, Riviera pro announced. William Stembler, previously eliminated from the tournament, toured the course in 65 yesterday to tie the record held by Sam McCormick, Ott said.

Gableites, Grovers Get High Scores In Pistol Meet

Neff, Gables fireman, finished third in the Center Fire Expert class with 823 for 900 to lead the local entries. In the Marksman class, B. Simmons finished first with 256 out of 300 and Lasser Alexander was third. Both are from Coconut, Grove. C.

Alexander, Eastern Airlines pilot finished fifth in this class.

LOOKING AT SPORTS (Continued from page 10)

kids involved as any 'ole college fracas. The telling involved a bit of hokum that is smart football when you can get away with it. Seems that the Coral Gables Rockets were leading the Shenandoah Scorpions 29-12 at the Silver Bluff school field Saturday morning when the time set for the ending of the game arrived (what do you expect in the sandlots—a scoreboard like the Orange Bowl's?). The Scorpions persuaded the Gableites to allow an extra five minutes of playing time during which the fast talkers also promoted three touchdowns. The score was 30-39 against our chagrined youngsters and they wanted to tack on another couple of minutes—but the Shenandoah lads waved us gulllble. "No soap," they said, "We played the time agreed on, the ball game is over and we win." The tennis professionals of this area are stirring up several play-for-pay tournaments for this winter, according to reports from the Professional Players Association of America meeting held on Oct. 21. The 1947 national clay court tennis championships are set for Henderson park, Dec. 15-21, and will be played under the lights the first five evenings and on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. The pros were inactive during the war and this will mark their first return to tournament play. Three courts will be at the players' disposal, and Pete Roberts, Miami recreation director, says that ample seating facilities will be available when the bleachers, capable of accommodating several thousand spectators, are installed. Have Promotion of Game at Heart With the disclosure that Frank Kramer will make his pro debut at the tournament along with several other headliners, it is apparent that the local pros are more interested in getting the return of pro tennis off to a big start rather than keeping the spotlight focused on their own group. It's a good thing we have pros here who are more concerned with promoting the game than protecting their own reputations. Ed Stillman, Bob Stubbs, Ray White, Arnaud Pyfrom, "Slim" Harbett, Pete Halford, Jack Waters, Dick McKee and our own Leo Fullwood and Ike Macy are on the steering committee for the tournament. Fullwood is serving as chairman and Stubbs as secretary of the PPAA until the first of the year.

Horse Show Entries Close Saturday

Entries for the 1947 Horse Show to be staged Nov. 16th by the South Miami Riding Club at the show grounds, Davis Road and 71st Avenue, will close Saturday, Manager Harry A. Shay announced. Renewal of the event, one of the most popular on the Sunshine Circuit, will offer a 12-class program covering every type of show horse and a variety of horsemanship classes. Highlight for the junior set will be the equitation class for beginners which will see blue ribbon winners of the future vie with fellow novices who have been riding less than six months. A favorite with spectators will be the special course for jumping horses. Layout of the tough course will be kept secret until the day of the show in order to provide a test of skill for both riders and their mounts, Shay said. Col. W. M. Modizette of Coral Gables has been named judge of hunters and jumpers, while Walter Burke, owner of the Druce Lake Stables in Libertyville, Ill., will rule on saddle horsemen.

Portland, Ore., Nov. 2—(UP)—The British Ryder Cup team today nursed the wounds of the most lop-sided defeat in the international golf classic's history and complained that the matches never should have been played on Portland's muddy course. Longwood, Fla., Nov. 3—(UP)—The New York Giants farm system today had permission of the Florida State League to handle the Sanford baseball team next season. The major league club was accepted as a franchise holder by directors of the Class D loop at their annual meeting here yesterday. Florida State Directors also returned to office President A. S. Herlong, jr., of Leesburg, Vice-President Earle Bussey of St. Augustine and Secretary-Treasurer Peter Schaal of Silver Springs. Lexington, Ky., Nov. 3—(UP)—Tendered Lexington displayed mourning wreaths of Man O'War today as plans were mapped to bury turfdom's greatest horse tomorrow in the paddock at picturesque Faraway Farm. It will be no easy job laying to rest Big Red, who died at the age of 30 of a heart attack in his stall Saturday. It will take a crane to lower his oak coffin into the 10 feet by 10 feet grave.

City Borrows Trucks to Cart Storm Debris

City Manager William T. McIlwain announced today that the city had been loaned two trucks by the Federal Works Agency which had been applied for at the Hurricane Damage Conference. The trucks will be delivered today by the agency from Key West and may be used as long as the emergency lasts, McIlwain stated. The trucks are 16-ton stake body dump trucks which will be used in clearing away the debris left by the two recent storms. There has been no definite action on the other requests as yet but it is believed that an aerial ladder for truck mounting and one portable centrifugal pump of approximately 300 gallons per minute discharge capacity which is capable of handling a minor amount of sand will be on hand soon, McIlwain said. Debris resulting from the recent hurricanes has been almost entirely cleared from the streets of Coral Gables, Harley Pitman, Director of Parks and Parkways, announced today. Damage to trees and shrubs which will require either pruning or replanting, has not been taken care of yet but work will begin on that phase of the hurricane cleanup as soon as the necessary equipment can be secured, Pitman said.

Florida Champs

The University of Miami varsity teams had a clean sweep of the state championships last year. They hold that distinction in football, basketball, baseball, (this is disputed because a cancelled game gave them a tie for first place in games won), tennis, swimming, and golf. Only track failed to bring home the title, and there was no state opposition for the boxing honors except from Jacksonville Naval Air Station.

There were enrolled last semester in the regular sessions (day classes), 3,132 ex-service men and women students enjoying the G.I. benefits.

Florida Advertising Needs To Stress Definite Region

That Florida draws its tourists from the entire nation, but should place more emphasis on advertising in certain regions is shown by a sample survey of hotel registrants which has been conducted by the research and industrial division of the Florida State Chamber of Commerce with the cooperation of hotels throughout the state. The survey, it was announced, has been conducted over the past year and a half and findings were released yesterday in the State Chamber's Weekly Business Review. "Evidence shows that the scope of the territory from which visitors come to Florida has broadened in recent years. Formerly, the Northeast furnished the vast majority of the tourists who came to the state. Today, the Central states carry an increasing weight. "Thirty-four per cent of Florida's tourists come from the Middle Atlantic states, 29 per cent from the South (not including Florida), 24 per cent from the Central states, 7 per cent from New England, 2 per cent from the West and 4 per cent from foreign nations and off-shore possessions. "It is interesting to note that if Florida, Georgia and New York are omitted from the calculations, the Central states are the heaviest contributors with 34 per cent. Following this group are the Middle Atlantic states with 27 per cent, the South with 20 per cent, New England with 11 per cent, the West with 3 per cent and the remaining 5 per cent from foreign nations. "States, in order, which contribute from one to ten per cent of the tourists who come to Florida are New York, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, Maryland, District of Columbia, Indiana, Connecticut, South Carolina, Missouri, Wisconsin and California. "Approximately one per cent of the state's guests come from Texas, Kentucky, Louisiana, West Virginia, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Mississippi and Iowa. All other states contribute a small fraction of one per cent.
