Pablo Guajiro, Nene Benitez, I. Medina and M. Caraballo in the infield Iron Man Fico Garcia in the box, who used to pitch two gmaes an afternoon and think nothing of it He was helped by F. Milord and Machin. Keeley was the catcher. They had opposition in the Regals © with Arthur and Roy Fulford in the box. Abe Roberts, Lonnie Stickney, Joe Papy and _ other were on the Regals. Also, Cuba Club gave them all stiff opposi- tion at that time. This team had the Rodriguez brothers, and Gon- zalez and other players. In 1912 the best club that has ever represented Key West toure the state and won everywhere it played, and they were known as ets Piased Sluggers. Charley So- lo wasbettind the plate.

Keely Sluggers lasted until about 1920 when the majority of ». the players retired or moved out of the city, Then came the famous Regu- : lars, managed by Paul Albury. This team won about eight con- secutive pennants. Mr. Albury was not only manager but caught many games and with his rubber E. arm he threw out some of the fastest runners at second. At oth- er times Cyril Griffin donned the mask and chest protector. Paddy Watkins, Bobby Lewis and Se- villa were the moundsmen. C. Lopez and O. Capote took turn At see- ond, Bolivar Castillo, Sevilla at third and Pazo at short were oth- er members of the infield. Later C. Lopez played short. Cremata, Elbertson and Guerra roamed the outfield.
