Peter agreed with him
‘This place, by nature of its posi

“They re recruiting hard. They

“It seems impossible they can

taken down the road to Valencia
She would never forget their faces
They had been people without

was unsafe for her to go out into

“Very well, tomorrow, if they’ll

That night, the city of Madrid
lay in darkness There was a silver
crescent of anew moon They sat
on the veranda of their hotel, wear

listened to the hum of insurgent

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN

By OSCAR L. MILIAN
THE BIGGEST KICK that hun
dreds of fans got. out of Sunday's
championshhv^Risebafl-game be
tween Key West Conchs and
Roadside Pirates was the laugh
ter at the expense of umpire
Max into Gonzalez, w’ho called
“ball” on Covington’s first pitch
after Daviia, Pirates’ lead-off bat
ter, took a healthy sw’ing at the
pitch and missed by a foot. To
all indications the old apple trav
eled so fast across the pan that
neither the umpire nor the batter
saw it go by’.
THEN THERE WAS Eddie Al
fonso, who filled in secondbase
for the Bucs. He struck out thre*
consecutive times all because

IT WAS RUMORED around the
stands that Berlin Sawyer had of
l red a baseball bat to the player
who hit the first homerun. Peter
Castro, fast thirdsacker of the
Blue Sox. may be glad to hear of
this as he was recorded with the
f’rst c.nd only circuit blow at
Trumbo Field as yet.
ARMANDO ACEVEDO, who
had a pretty bad day in the field
at shortstop during the Conch-
Pirate fracas, was responsible for
three of the Conchs’ five runs.
His deep fly’ to centerfield scored
Freddy Carboncll in the third in
ning to tie the score and a hard
liner to left sent Lucilo and Villa
real across the pan for the win
ning runs in the fifth inning.
THERE WILL BE NO cham
pionship game next Sunday. This
was the official announcement
made by’ Manager Roy’ Hamlin of
the Key West team. He is taking
his club to Miami for a contest
scheduled in that city.
LITTLE ERNEST OGDEN,
who played centerfield against
the Conchs in the game last Sun
day. handled flyballs like a big
leaguer, and certainly w’on the
admiration of the fans for trying
his best at bat against the docepr

’em by with bullet-like speed.

ROY HAMLIN'S DREAM of!
building anew ball field that I
iilt belong to the- public was
realiz'd last Sunday as the Tium

with two local crack baseball
clubs fighting for the city’s cham

not agree with the Pollyanna
lads, who hope rgainst hope that
the dove of peace will flit nimbly

If you listened attentively to
tile* talk around the corridors and
in the hotel lobbies, you would
..u\ e heard murmurs of revolt and
whispers of guerilla warfare that
may break out before the new
members have located their com
mittee rooms. Most of the rebel
lion rumors emanate from the lit
le county contingent and the rea
son. obviously, is that racetrack
revenue suit down in Dade coun
ty, which the big county boys de
ciibe aa “most unfortunate”.
In spite of all the oil the big

Getting back to the humdrum
events of a routine opening, how’-
ever, the* theme song is the same
old melody set to a brand new
lyric. Every two years, somehow’
or other, the state needs more
money and this year is a record
breaker leeause everybody up
here is broke, except the state
librarian. Schools busted: general
revenue wallowing in the rc*d;
prisons and hospitals filled to
cverflow’ing and no money to

only loos- money lying around

for the bondholders with the re
suit that some ot the legislators

Another safe prediction, in our
opinion, is the passage of bill?

Many legislators, after reading
recent reports on the actual work

with interest running as high as
300 percent a year, believe these
firms should not be enUtled to

the "business” will be ended for
