McCampbell, for- mer baseball player. and now) | Monroe County League umpire. It is very much appreciated by Toeal fans. Mr. McCampbell has Been highly commended for the fine piece of work. Speaking of the new score- board, how about a new location for it? The right place for it would be out in centerfield where it would be visible to everyone. Well, well, who said the Blue Sox couldn't hit the ball! In their game with the Pirates at; Trambo Field .last Sunday, the tail-end club poled 13 safeties. | What's on the program for La- bor Day? Who's going to play! who? That seems to be the gen~} eral question being asked by baseball followers in every corner jof the city. This question can only be correctly dnswered by |) Manager Roy Hamlin and the other three baseball pilots in the; Monroe County League. Despite Jack Bell’s criticism, strongly objecting to picking an all-star club’ to play the Key West Conchs in Miami, the game’), will go through as planned by Jerry Donovan. Hamlin’s Island } City champions will battle the! Magic City’s All-Stars tonight. If there is nothing outlined for Labor Day, local fans will great- ly weleome a three-game series betwen Dade All-Stars and the Key West Conchs. There is aj |prospet for you, Mr. Hamlin. Izzy Rodriguez, Pirates’ catch- er, whom Manager Ray Bush is trying to break into an outfield- : ler, has the real spunk behind him. Last Sunday when Reynaldo ; | (Raton) Garcia, Bucs’ strong | | booster and knocker at ‘the same; time, got too insinuating, Izzy | | challenged him to “come outside | and settle our differences”. Freddie Carboriell, the al ing champion of 10 years ago, | seored a line hit last Sunday— his first im many a moon. The Pirates’ leftfielder almost hit aj homer when his terrific drive to deep left fell about two feet from the fair line territory. Joe (House) Casa didn’t come through in his Miami game with‘!

The games have been called off due to some of the players dropping out of the all- star club. ‘ts Although Acevedo’s team, with j its “cork arm” pitcher on the; mound, put up an’ interesting | fight against the Conchs, it is evident the Stars lack the punch it takes to whip Key West Conchs. It is understood and general rumor has it that Jackie Carbo- jell will play the Trojans against the Conchs in a short series in ‘the very near future. Trojans’ third sacker, however, has made fo official announcement in re- gard to the rumored series.
