TUESDAY, CCTOPED 121923 FOLLOWING THRO BY AGUILAR Miami, Fila., Oct, 13, 1938. L. P. Artman, Jr., Sports Editor, ‘The Citizen, Key West, Fla. Dear Mr. Artman: Your open letter, published i The Citizen Oct. 5, just came to mé, from Roy Hamlin, managér of your baseball team. I had re+ ceived letters from players on the Key West team apologizing for it, so grew curious as to what charges you had made. Tl answer your questions, for as your own players will ‘ell you, someone not a sportsma! ve ‘you information which ‘has Tea you to write a story com- pletely erroneous.

William Cates’ says, “You're darn right they Switched the balls on us. We did | not have a White ball to bat against in those last innings of | the second game and Miami in- | when’ Miami came ‘up once, I/ shouted out, ‘O. K., Jack, throw in the electric light’. One of | their players took a white ball, | when Key West was at bat, and} threw it far out on the foul line | so Key West wouldn’t bat against | . |it”. And ‘Robert Bethel says, “t} know Key West itted against | against | white in, the late innings. | Al ‘the fouling, that’s just’ story”. Captain ‘Armando!

Acevedo, “He }was out a mile at the plate”! ; Catcher Albury, “I know he was! out. I tagged him long before he ‘touched the plate”. Says me: | “What I wanted to call attention | ee oR +. | to, Jack, was that your article mentioned nothing about this i questionable decision, only about | Schemer’s single”. ) All the ball players in a group: “Only one ball player wrote Jack. But don’t use his |mame”. William Cates, “Ask Cap- tain A. Acevedo or any of the ball players if they didn’t think some of the things pulled on them in the game was shady”. Captain Acevedo: “Neither myself nor any of the players, except one, were ashamed wf your article We thought it was alright” Says me, “I think you were a little hasty, Jack, in believing |that the ball players were hot about my article. As a matter of fact I got my article from the jball players. The players as a whole were a little sore about the game. I regret that there was a small error about one of \the Smith boys and Sonny Lea- }therman. But the fact that you ng in a number of ball players | Sti ‘stands. Now, don't get the idea that we're really sore at you, Jack. You'll find the Key | West ball players mighty grate- |ful that you're bringing them up and they're glad that they're drawing big crowds in Miami. The whole thing is this: Miami ‘has always trested Key West | (2) Cates: “Tiknow theshéad of || yy, Here's Mgr.

Permar, who has an- swered three or four million questions about Mount Vernon during 35 years as a guard at |'Washington’s home, had to ask a few questions about the place himself the other day. | The occasion was the 82-year- old guard’s first airplane ride. |The pilot pointed over the side of the plane and told Mr. Permar he was looking gown at Mount Vernon. “If that’s Mount Vernon”, said Permar, “then whats that creek doing in front of it; I never saw that before”. “That’s the Potomac river”, re- plied the pilot. mighty bad on the ball field in Miami games and Miami has been handed some mighty bad deals in Key West, too. Again, Miami’s people have carried on a long campaign running down Key West to tourists and Jetting loose with a lotta misinforma- tion. Now with the new hands across the Keys’ policy, with the Overseas Bridge connecting the two cities, let's see if Miami and Key West can't compete as strong as ever on the ball field and for tourists, feel bad when we lose a ball game or a flock of tourists, but stop that other stuff. Mean- while, congratulations on the Hurricane forecast. It was a whizzing good one”. Sincerely, L. P. ARTMAN, JR. Sports Editor, Citizen.
