L. MILIAN The baseball fans who turned out to see the second game of the championship series between the. Conehs and Pirates Sunday after- neon are still trying to figure out what went wrong with catcher Cyzil Griffin of the Key West nine in the exciting eighth in- ning ‘when the Bucs put over three runs to win the game and tie-up the series one each. There were three men on bases, Torres sent a nard liner to left field for a-single and all ‘three men scored when outfielder Freddie Car- bonell let the ball get away through his legs. The ball was relayed to the infield and on to Griffin, who tossed to third to cut off Torres, who had failed to tag second on the round as tite ball was thrown .back. Beliss, the rugged beckstop, ran around the field tagging everything that wore a Pirate uniform. Most fans believe that even umpire Gon- zalez was tagged. The reason for this is still a mystery to at least ten ‘hundred and ninety-nine of the estimated eleven hundred fans who saw the contest. Armando Acevedo is still the outstanding figure in the series. Last Sunday he scored once and pushed in a run to give the Key West team all their . markers. Conchs have scored seven runs in two games and the blonde, flashy shortstop is responsible for | live .of them. Tony (Half Pint) Alonzo, fast outfielder of the Seafood Grill outfit, is the most promising hit- ter of the youngsters. Alonzo, scarcely a little more than five feet tall and about a 118-pounder, hits the old pill with the might ¢ of a giant. Watch this boy six montis from today! Lanky George Maigrat surpris- ed the baseball public when he held the hard-hitting Key West nine to five well scattered safe- ties. He pitchéd shutout ball and well deserved his victory.
