SOFTBALL TO CONTINUE ON INDERINITELY MANAGERS AGREE TO DO WHATEVER POSSIBLE TO KEEP SPORT ‘ALIVE’: FANS URGED TO CO-OPERATE At a meeting of the Board of Managers of the Key West Ama- teur ' Softball Association last night in City Hall, it was agreed to continue playing softball in- definitely. The session was eall- ed by the president, R. T. Thomp son, for the purpose of a general diseussion of the fate of the sport in Key West. Treasurer Joe Cleare's report of receipts and expenses revealed the association funds were prac- tically depleted. However, there Temains enough money to assure play for at least anéther week. In the meantime, managers of'the clubs-in the Service and Civilian Leagues agreed to exert all their power toward building up the treasury. A meeting is scheduled for Tuesday of next week when treasurer Cleare will advise the manager board as to the exact amount of money remaining in the treasury, if any. Upon that Teport will rest the fate of the | sport. Treasurer Cleare. gatekeeper; Andrea and umpire Goss have agreed to render their services free of charge. Umpire Griffin. paid in full last night, will also! donate his services, it is under- stood. This action will eliminate a large portion of the ass»cia- tion’s expenses. Representatives of the VP53 and Army agreed last night ‘to issue tickets for the games through their respective canteens. It was the opinion of Sgt. George Nodine of the Army and Mr., Thompson of the VP53 that this! plan will provide nearly enough money to take care of the elec- tric light bill. which will be the only expense of the association in the future. Only three teams remain in the Civilian League, assuring the players of more active par- \ticipation, which will result in better games in the future. The ,trio of ¢lubs are considered the ‘strongest of the original six teams, except the Sawyer’s Bar- bers. To all lovers of softball, managers issue an appeal for their support in order that the leagres will not have to be dis- banded.
