_, PEDRO Rovian Sesame nScRnENE TS oe RR Here’s another chapter in our; late 1880-up-to-present review of baseball activities in Key West. On October 3, 1938, evening shadows and a slow single over second caused the downfall of the Key West Conchs in a game with Miami. | Schemer’s single at 7 p. m. ruined a 2-2 score and gave the Magic City nine the lone run that won the battle in the tenth. Armando. Acevedo, Esmond Albury, William Cates and Rob- ert Bethel starred for the Key Westers. The game was replete with excitement and high tension. Mario Pena, loeal first sacker, threw a left-hook at umpire Nevvell’s chin after he ruled a “balk” on catcher Al. Rod- riguez. Pena had to cool off on the bench. Earl Adams, then president of the City Council, had a hot ex- change of words with Jack Bell, manager of the Raily-Milan out- fit, the team opposing Key West. Fellow Conchs were forced to hold Adams in order to avoid a fist fight. Cates“doubled to ‘send home Acevedo from first for the open- ing Key West run in the initial inning. Acevedo had got on on a single. In the fourth, Acevedo « dou- bled. Albury sent him the rest of the way with a single. With two down and two on base—it was then very dark but the umpire refused to call the game—Schemer hit a slow grounder in the last half of the tenth. It passed by second for a single, scoring Bandera the winning run. Bethel allowed the Miamians/ only six hits in nine innings.| Schemer held the Conchs to four in four frames. Score: R. H.

Special Washington Correspondent of The Citizen | SOME_ LEND-’ LEASE FACTS ALLIES. GET_15, PER>CENT U.S. ARMS, ITS_OWN MEN The President » recently mitted his quarterly report sub- to Congress covering the details of! the operation of Lend-Lease as-; sistance to the nations aggression. There are some _ interesting facts in the report, which shows that from March 7, 1941, to No- vember 30, »“1942,, the United States has extended assistance to other nations to the value of $7,- fighting 526,000,000 was expended in the twelve months and $2,367,000,000 in the three months previous to his report. ¢ Lend-Lease assistance is now going to our Allied na- tions at the rate. of »$10,000,- 000,000 a year. This represents only fifteen percent of our Production and leaves eighty- five percent to be used by the forces of the United: States. The President was careful to point out, however, that thir- ty percent of our combat planes and. tanks have been available to those fighting the Axis ag- gressors, It may be interesting to know that the United States and Great Britain, during the past year, shipped to Russia more than 3,-; 000 planes, 4,000 tanks, _ 13,009 trucks, and hundreds of - tons of food, thousands _of; industrial raw ma- with |terials, medical supplies and oth-| criticized Liuetenant-General Ei- er. products. In the last year, the United States shipped 2,500,000 tons of supplies» to the Soviet Re- | public. .The “great majority” of our supplies were delivered, but the President points out that convoys going to Russia were subjected to heavy at- tacks and severely punished. The aid which the United) States is sending to other nations, as expressed in money, is made} Of this amount, $6,-| jeeps and other vehicles! and Russia were producing more| ‘arms than the United States, | jtoday this country has out-dist-|. tanced them OES is eens its lead. Unfortunately, the Japanese ;occupation of Burma has serious-! ly interfered with the shipment 1of supplies to China, which- now }go forward only by air, from In-| jdia across the Himalayas.

With; what may be something ‘of a warning to-present potentials, | the Michigan Senator | expresses | {the opinion that the Pary’s nom- inee “will be found amid the jnew timber which is richly avail- | jable” and which “will become more so as the war progresses.” On the. following day, Senator | Vandenberg rebuked persons on; \“this safe home front” , who| | jsenhower for accepting the col- Haboration of Admiral Darlan in| |North Africa.
