April 5, 1939, it was an- nounced that Roy Hamlin’s dream of a new ball park was realized last Sunday when Trumbo Field was officially opened. Pirates and Conchs are fighting it out for the city championship. On April 6, the High Sehool won cver the U. S. Army nine at the Army Barracks.. The hitting of Eddie Nelson and the pitching of Sue Griffin starred for the School. Nodine and Stone were outstanding for the Army. Score: R. H. E.} High School 710 3 U.S. Army 6 5 4) S.

On April 16, 1939, the Pirates | evened the championship _ series} with the Key West Conchs, and| the Seafood Grille nine won over the Blue Sox in a doubleheader. ! In the first game, Puby Car- bonell relieved Robert Bethel’ in the eighth after the latter had allowed three hits and five runs to lose the game. George Wash-! ington Malgrat went the route for the Bucs, giving up five hits, two by Armando Acevedo, Key West shortstop. Acevedo scored one of the runs the Conchs re- corded and drove home the oth- er. Julio Barcelo doubled for the Pirates. In the field, Puby and Arman- do starred for the Conchs, C. Garcia, F.

Puby Carbonell started out on the mound for the Conchs like a house on fire but weakened in | the sixth and the Pirates scored three runs. They tied the score in the eighth with a lone run on a double by Julio Barcelo and ancther two-bagger by Izzy Rod- riguez. In the twelfth, with the bases loaded and no one out, Barcelo singled to end the game. The Conchs scored three runs in the first and one in each the second and fourth frames. From then on, Joe (House) Casa held them scoreless. Bareelo led at bat with two singles and a double. Izzy Rod- riguez poled a single and double. For the Conchs, Villareal, Ar- mando Acevedo and Cates each hit two safely. Armando, Cyril Griffin and} Puby Carbonell starred afield for the losers.
