943 veo. TUESDAY, APRIL 18, i —— SOUND SUBMARINE AGGREGATION NOW HAS ONE VICTORY, ONE LOSS AND TIE IN SERVICE MEN’S LOOP The powerful Sound School's ball team won its first game in; the American division of the Island , Service Men's League last night by vanquishing the Boca Chica Army lads by a 7-2 score. | The victory gives the Sound | School a record of one win, one | loss and a tie. It was beaten by the Naval Operating Base Satur- | day, 14-2, and had a tie with the! 50th Coast Artillery, 5-5. The de- feat was the second in a row for the Boca Chicans for they were previously downed by the Ma- rines, 3-1. ‘Tonight the Coast Guard, pres-! ent leader of the loop with two straight triumphs, will oppose the powerful 50th Coast Artillery of Fort Taylor. An Army win will put | it in first place while another vic- | tory for the Coast Guardsmen will shove them way up front in the! still young race. > Tomorrow at 5:30 the Ma- rines will return to the wars by opposing the Fast Naval Operat-) ing Base, and Thursday the Sound | School is slated to meet the Coast Guard. Last night’s clash showed Har- ris, pitcher and cleanup hitter for the Sound School,» allowing th=> Boca Chicans two hits while t..¢ Sparklers were touching Napoli and Slatese for seven bingles. The ,National League race which shows the Naval Air Sta- tion and the Commissary Store tied for the top position, had ° good game on the Army Barrack? diamond last night when the Sec- tion Base beat the Naval Hos>ita 6-2. The winners got five hits an: had one error while the corpsme= garnered four bingles and also had one misplay. Watkins, Connick and Hourn! worked for the Hospital and the battery for the Section Base was Pickett, Jaycock and Jacobson. Friday at 5:30 the two loop! leaders will match bats when the | Air Station opposes the Commis- | sary. The winner will gain un- disputed possession of the top | spot in the six-team circuit. | CITES PROGRESS | AT BALL STADIUM! AURELIO LASTRES, SR. BASE- | BALL FAN, OUTLINES MANY | IMPROVEMENTS MADE Aurelio Lastres, Sr., baseball en- | thusiast of Key West, who‘ resides | at 220 Simonton street, had the following to say today in connec- tion- with the City Baseball Stad- | ium on Flagler avenue: “Considering the shortage of! manpower and other drawbacks the new City Baseball Stadium on Flagler Avenue is now being | rapidly improved, with hopes of | having the project completed within a short time. “It makes one wonder to stand and view the great transformation that has taken place in convert-; ing the old dump pile or inciner- ator grounds into a well laid out baseball. field. “This stadium when fully com-} pleted will be a great credit to the city, and will take its place among many of the other baseball fields throughout the state. “The citizens of Key West in general have heartily cooperated | in making this stadium possible, and I feel that it is very commend- able on the part of each one who has put forth efforts toward ob- taining a city baseball field for the Island City. “There will be a meeting of the committee held on Wednesday night, beginning at 8 o'clock, and I urge all members and all oth- ers interested to be in attend- ance, and to put forth their efforts toward bringing this new proj- ect, a City Baseball Stadium, to @ successful conclusion.” { Not That Way An Irish bricklayer was on the top of the partly-built house, and shouted to the foreman that he could not find his way down to the ground. “You fool—come down the we you went up,” shouted the for man, , “Not on head first,” back. yer the life.

Ruby smiled at her. “Mr. Neely’s been a godsend!” she said. “Really?” said Kathleen. “How sweet.” Ruby then turned back to Joe. | She began to talk to him as though they had known each eagerly. “I’ve got a few pieces myself that you’re weleome to. And I know a lot of folks in the country near Linville who have a lot of stuff stored in their attics.” “Splendid!” said Fred. “Shall we make the trip tomorrow? Sun- day’s a good day for me. The play for next week is a familiar one, and it’s all set.” _ : “Tomorrow will be all right with me. Morning or afternoon?” “Let’s make it in the afternoon, and then we'll stop off at some eating spot for dinner.” “That'll be fun!” said Kathleen. “But don’t feel you’ve got to buy me dinner for helping you find furniture.” “I'm asking you to have dinner with me,” said Fred, “because you do things to me—make me feel young st And that, my child, is something.” Someone else cut in then, Then another man.

Handsome Couple ND as Kathleen danced with ‘Reach of them she only half heard what they were talking about, She was thinking of the drive out into the country with Fred DeMille, thinking of the tings she was going to say to im, “Why so silent, honey?” her partner asked. _ “Thinking!” said Kathleen, “About me?” “Of course,” she lied. “Maybe I’ve got a chance with you after all!” said the young man, overwhelmed. “Maybe,” said Kathleen. More cutting in—more partners. And then another local boy danc- ing off with her. a “Joe’s going for actresses in a big way!” he said. He nodded to- ward where Joe was leading Ruby Howard out for a dance. Jady, too! igh! Kathleen looked. And she got a glimpse of Joe smiling down into Ruby Howard’s upturned face. Joe, all youthful enthusiasm—and haar lbigh| wide, interested eyes. “ ’em?” “Yes, They make a handsome eouple.” “Not afraid?” “Of what?” “That actress—she might steal Joe, you know.” aad T'm not afraid of any such thing!

She sank back against the upholstery and closed her eyes.
