Four reasons why the Cancer
drive benefit baseball game was
a huge success:
First Being a benefit game
for such a worthy cause it had to
be a success, for every cent made
at the benefit went to fight one
of the worst diseases in the world.
Second The High School Band,
with its precision drills and the
beautiful baton twirler, who went
through her act with precision and
skill, without a flaw and won the
applause and admiration of the
hundreds of fans there, and the
band, with .its leaders and its
great skill in playing, was great.
They are an asset to this com
munity.
Third The fire works were
great snd all the different pieces
of fireworks used were up-to-date.
The Niagara Falls, and the Am
erican Flag were excellent.
Fourth Last, but not least,
was the ball game, a great game
from start to finish. It started out
with the locals scoring a run in
the first, and then Kaki Rodriquez
held the Navy boys without a hit
for first six frames. This gave the
fans a thrill, for they wanted him
to pitch a no-hittcr. But in the
seventh, Cardillo, big first base
man for the Navy, hit one through
first to right for a single.
Crip Lastres and Cabot played
great ball, and Crip hit a double
to center, Claude Valdes hit a sin
gle to right and hit an infield hit.
It was a very good ball gama.
The original inhabitants of Ire
land are believed to have been
Scots.
Evans Edges
Out VXI In
Nightcap, 12-6
A seven run rally in the sixth
inning gave General Electric a
12-6 victory over the Dairy Queen
Blizzards in the first game of a
scheduled softball double header
at Bayview Park last night.
General Electric broke into the
run column in the second when
they scored twice on the two
walks, a hit, and an error, but
the Blizzards came back in their
half of the second and took a 3-2
lead on a walk, singles by F. Las
tres and Torres and Crip Lastres
double. They added another in the >
third when Joe Alonzo beat out a
bunt, and scored moments later
on a couple of errors. In the fourth.
Smith, G. E. Shortstop, led off
with a double and scored on Pil
grims single. A double by Torres,
a walk, a wild pitch and an error
netted the Dairy Queen two more
runs in their half of the fourth.
Hulls’ double, a walk, and an er
ror gave G. E. two runs in the
fifth. In the sixth, Walker, Dairy
Queen pitcher, weakened and G. E.
jumped on him for seven runs on
5 walks, three errors, and two
singles on a bases full double
by Lee Griffin to clinch the
game.
Torres, Dairy Queen outfielder,
was the game’s leading hitter with
a double and two singles in three
official trips to the plate.
Evans chocked off a last inning
rally by VX-1 and edged out a
5-4 victory in the second game of
a scheduled double header. With
the tying run on second base, Ram
sey, Evans pitcher, induced
Clarke, VX-1 shortstop, to roll to
him for the final out.
Evans drew first blood in the
second inning when Sam Valdez
walked, and later scored when Ed
wards threw wild to third in an
effort to nab him on Robert Las
tres perfect bunt. VX-1 tied It up
in their half of the second on a hit
batsman, Morgan’s single, and
an error.
In the third. Ramsey opened
with a single. After Casado walk
ed, Acevedo was safe on a field
er’s choice. Then George Barber
singled two runs across. Acevedo
scored moments later on S. Valdez
double. VX-1 picked up another
run in the third when Clark walk
ed and scored on Sieater’s double.
Evans picked up their last tally
in the fifth when Casado was safe
on an error and was moved around
on Joe Castro’s triple. In the six
th. VX-1 picked up two runs on
two walks, an error, and a couple
of outs before Ramsey tightened
up and got Clark out with the
tying and winning run on base.
Geyge Barber led Evans attack
with two singles in three tries.

BIG PINE KEY
NOTES
Clarence Sprague, retired Navy
lieutenant who was stationed in
Key West in 48 and ’49, now a res
ident of West Palm Beach, return
ed to the Keys for 10 days of our
wonderful fishing. He was accom
panied by Victor, Warren, Cliff and
Clarence Kinsey and Kenneth Dav
ies, also of West Palm. They stop
ped at Myrtle and Wesley's Fishing
Lodge on Big Pine. They booked 23
tarpon and a number of barracuda
and jacks. They brought in over
100 lbs. of mackerel one day be
sides the snapper and grouper.
Sprague and his family are re
turning in May for two weeks' of
Yishing here.
There have been a number of
dogs and cats dumped on Big Pine
the past month. Son: Cone tied a
mother cat and kittens in a notato
and threw them along the oid
highway. When found they were
dead. Don’t you think it would
have been more humane to have
called the Humane Society? They
would come and pick them up or
a amall donation and if the person
fashion

was unable to donate, they would
have picked them up anyway.
If People with pets are going a
way, or for any reason cant keep
them, they should call Mr. or Mrs.
Henning. They will be glad to pick
the animals up and try to find
homes for them. By baying a tag
for your dog, you are assured of
the return of your pet If it strays
from home or is somewhera mak
ing a nuisance and someone calls
the Society. If the dog la tagged,
the Society will return the pet to
you. The Society will also board a
Yemale in season to keep down dis
turbances in the neighborhood.
All the money from tags or do
nations goes toward the upkeep of
the kennels. All dogs without toga
are considered strays and ar* pick
ed up by the Society. Although the
Society tries to find homes for
them, if they are unable to do so,
after a reasonable time they are
put swsy. This is much better than
to let them roam the streets and
alleys eating out of garbage cans.
If strays were let roam there would
be a lot more mange and distemp
er among the pets that have homes
than there is now.
The State men say there are 12
counties in Florida that have rabies
among raccoons. They haven’t test
ed the ’coons in Monroe County yet.
They say a ’coon with rabies is
very tame and easily caught, and
they advise against handling am
wild ’coon.
Thursday night, April 30, is the
meeting of the Lower Keys Proper
ty Owners Association. All mem
bers are urged to be at Myrtle and

cers are to be elected for the com
