You ; can take the raving* of your bit j terest enemy and derive a great deal of good from them. For no ' one is perfect, and everyone is seeking to get as close to perfec tion as possible. So this column has decided to publish a few thoughts from a letter sent it. To whom it may concern: If it is a little harsh, overlook the harsh ness and dig out the constructive j thought in back of it. READ AND THINK— “I would like to say a few Words in regard to the present condition of the different branch ea of the FfiRA recreational de partment. First I believe that the bu-ehuil and diamondhall situation has been handled weakly. I sug gest that they use an iron hand when they deal with any player who violates the rules of the games. Spectators, who have , been making it a habit of stray ing on the field and putting in their little say during an argu ment, should be quickly ejected. | “Another practice that has be- I come ludicrous is the breaking up l of thi schedule almost every week. Thi* has been done with both the Junior and Senior leagues. Every time anew club wants to get in, the FKRA goes right ahead and draw* up n beautiful new sched ule. There was plenty of time be fore the two leagues started to send in entry slips. Most of the teams practiced for several weeks before the league began. “The FKRA may talk a great deal about having an "organized league” with n strong league head.) sovereign umpires and strict rules, hut if the FKRA itself acts weakly, us in the matter of break ing up the schedules, the whole Ihing will become another inane, childishly acting league. That is the trouble with the ball players in thi* town. They have been pam pered and petted like a lot of kids. Let’s treat them like men. hereafter, and make them act like men. And the FKRA must give the example first. "As to the baseball situation. I would like to see a series of game* played for the 1931 eham ] pionship of the city. If the Pirates do not want to play, have the se ries between the Sluggers, Star* and Trojans. The fans want to see baseball, not a lot of baby play among the managers. Are we going to let one or two out law baseball here? I think the j three dub* are equally matched. I< t’s see if we can’t start the se j rie* of games.” A REAL FAN’S LETTER— Friend-, folks and honest to goodness ball fails, don’t you catch the splendid feeling behind that letter of a real fun? Ball players here HAVE been treated like a bunch of two-year-olds. You’ve heard the players say a million times. “I won’t play if this is this and that is that—” Is that the wav to have organized sport? How ran you expect to have a decent brand of baseball here as long as . lay* rs act that way and ARE PERMITTED TO GET AWAY WITH IT! The idea behind sports is to have competition, hut fair competition and close competition Teams must be even, or as near as possible. We believe our friend is u little wrong is saying that the Sluggers, Trojans and Stars are evenly matched. With addi tion* to the Trojan and Star “youngster teams.” yes! (What proved it was the 12-2 win of the Trojans over the Sluggers Sun day. The Trojans had two new players, including a pitcher.) If yot don’t strengthen the two “kid teams” there’s no use start, ing a series. BASEBALL—OR ARGUMENTS? In regard to the FER A: There ha* been an attempt made to se cure rule with an ‘‘iron hand.” In mine ea*e this has been felt. The Pirates tried to put their will over those of the other league mana gers in a meeting Sunday and what happened?—the Pirates are now out of the senior softball: loop. It was necessary, and we; compliment the other league managers who have signified their intention to run the league as an “official league” should be run. FUNERAL HOMERS DOWN BUSY BEE BAKERS OUTFIT ! i‘‘ " * ■ j DIAMONDBALL CONTEST PUT ON LAST NIGHT AT BAY VIEW PARK RESULTS IN SCORE OF 11-2 The Lopez Funeral Home ten didn’t wait long to grab off their ! accustomed first place in the new i softball loop. Last night they j plastered the Busy Bee Bakerman with an 11-2 score, the Bakermen presenting the two runs. It was the first game of the new league. Sterling, who has been allowed to pitch while Lunn is out with the mumnK-‘7i6ld jthe Bakers to six hit*: Magee was highly inef fective and his control poor. Since j he has been out of the game for j quite some time, fans allowed i for his weak hurling. He is a lair * ly steady hurler with practice. One look at the Busy Bee error column is enough to give any man ager fits. Ten juiev ones are marked up behind Busy Bee field ers. In Elbertson and Goehring the team has two of the league’s best hitters and the rest of the squad is fair. Fans can’t see why the ten doesn’t get out in the win column. Score by innings: R. H. E. Lopez 100 031 411—11 10 1 Busy Bee— -000 100 010 — 2 6 10 : Batteries: Sterling and Ingra 'ham; Magee and J. Baker. TIGERS VICTORS OVER HAWTHORNS BASEBALL GAME ON SUNDAY AT COLORED PARK RE SULTS IN 3-2 SCORE The league-leading Tigers and ■ the third-place Hawthorns hooked up in one of those games you read about in a colored league contest Sunday at Nelson English Park. The Tigers scored all then three runs in one inning and the Hawthorns also did all their tal | lying of two runs in one inning. | There were nothing but gooseggs I after that. A. Dean went to the mound for the Tigers in the sixth and struck out eight batters the four frames he pitched. The Tigers and Coconuts will j cross bats today at 4 p. m. in a battle for the league leadership The leading hitters of the loop are: (). Melntoch. .500; J. McGee, .470; Gallagher, .460; L. Pinder, .460; Alf. Dean, .444; A. Meln toch, .400. Leading pitchers: Hannah, won three; A. Melntoch, won two; A. Dean, won two. Pitcher leading in strikeouts: A. Dean. 46 in 30 innings. Score by innings of Sunday's game: R. H. E. Tigers .. 003 000 000— 3 4 1 Hawthorns— -020 000 000—2 9 6 Batteries: Hannah, A. Dean and J. McGee; F. Dean and F. Hanni-j bal. Standings: Club— W. L. Pet.! Tigers 5 0 1.000/ Coconuts 4 1 .750] Hawthorns , 1 4 .250 j Giants 0 5 .000 j But the “iron hand” must be felt' hi ore*. If the softball league has j takep sp determined a stand, so! 1 should the baseball league! The i FERA wants the Pirates to play, j The question is now up to them:; if they “want” to play with ai strong league head, official rules : supported in every case and all ■ “babying” relegated to the nur-! sery. The authority of the league will be upheld at every turn. Our baseball or softball leagues must be respected and held up as “real” leagues. Will we have baseball or continued argument in the near future? If it is to be argument, FERA play your “irou hand”! THE KEY WEST CITIZEN REAL HOT GAMES IN JUNIOR LEAGUE THIS AFTERNOON Y. B. S. C. AND CUBAN CLUB BERS IN OPENING FRACAS; GATESTERS AND PARK TEN IN NIGHTCAP > The race in the Junior Loop is getting hotter all the time. This afternoon, when the youngster league plays its first day double header, there is a chance that the Gates Stars, now leading the league, may drop down past the Y. B. S. C. and Park team. The Young Boys Social Club will play the first game against the tail-ending Cuban Clubbers. This looks like a cinch for the Social Club, but the Cuban Club bers are fresh from a terrible lacing they gave the Gates Stars last Tuesday and have the con fidence to start a determined surge toward the ton. If the Y. B. S. C. does manage to overcome this threat and win, they will lead the league. Again that’s all well and good, but in the second game the Park team takes on the Gates Stars. The Stars will be fighting to hold their top position. If they lose to the Park ten and the Y. B. S. C. wins, they will fall down below these two teams, which will be tied for first place. But what’s the use of figuring, you can see for yourself this aft ernoon. Take a good look at these standings, they may never be the same hereafter: STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE Club— W. L. Pel.
