The, writer would like | to. have explained.to him what, happened to. the. two losses. EAL suffered at the hands of the Key West. Red. Raiders. -We donot think the Air Liners are so “hot”. EAL manager be- lieves he has a real ball club but all he has when he, comes down. here is a lot of “ery babies” and “hard” losers. EAL has plenty, of weak spots. Before its manager can say he has a “ball club”, he must teach his players the meaning of the word “sportsmanship”. In the first game the Airliners played here two of their number | had. to be benched. The second time they came here, several oth- ers should have been benched, al- though they were allowed to con- tinue in. the game. If we would have. had_ stricter umpires out there—umps with ‘“nerve”—sev- eral of the EAL’s would have been barred from the field due | to their poor, sportsmanship and continual squawks. The. writer would like to tell} Manager Tierce of the, Airliners to teach his.players two things: First, to play ball, and, second, how “to take it”. They may know how to win ball games but they certainly.do not know how to lose ‘same. LOCAL BASEBALL Key West, Pirates. and High! > School nines are ready to play | in a league at the Municipal Sta- | dium on Flagler Avenue. Key West, under Armando Acevedo, has already engaged in } two practice games, winning. one! from the Pirates 8 to.6 and drop- ping the second to the Red Raid- club -will tackle the B29 Bomb- | | ers 8 to 9 | All.of the clubs are weak but! as the days go by and they, con- tinue to practice, they will get in shape. Then we'll have a real Island City baseball league—may- be another edition of the old- time national pastime exhibitions , j so famous here in days gone by. | SUGGESTION BY FAN A baseball fan approached the; writer the other day to ask if| it. would be possible to stage al game Labor Day between the Sluggers of 1935 and the Key West Regulars of 1925, or the Pi- | rates and Regulars of 1935. Well, most of the Sluggers of | those days are still with us. Here } they are: Catcher, M. Varela; | pitchers, Bethel, Lucilo and Lou Gonzalez; first -base, Valdez, “Pie | Traynor” Fernandez and Lucilo; infielders, Angel Fruto, Scott | Sawyer, Gopher Gonzalez and others. a Among the Regulars still with us are Manager Paul Albury or Cyril Griffin, catcher; Quintan Lopez, Bobby Lewis and Sevilla, } pitchers; Elbertson or Capote or Jose Fernandez, first base; Chic- ko Pozo, second base; B. Castillo, third base; W. Doughtry, short- stop; Salgado, Capote, Cremata and others in the outfield. j Among those living who play- | ed with the Pirates of those days | are Cyril Griffin to catch, Joe) Casa and Puby Carbonell to} pitch, Mario Pena at first, Chelo | Castillo at second, Dario Perez | at short, Manolo Acevedo at the | hot corner, Ludy Acosta, Abreu, | Papito Machin and others to play | So, it can be seen that the La- bor Day game is possible if the players are willing. Let us hear er will furnish baseballs should the players agree to perform in the suggested game. RAIDERS LOOKED ‘LIKE MILLION DOLLARS Red Raiders looked like a mil- | lion dollars yesterday, at the Mu- | nicipal. Stadium against the -Mi- | ami All Stars, The hitting of Baker, Roberts, | Hernandez, Precis. is Delaney and William Watkins Robert Dopp and Orvis Kemp are in for a treat next Friday night when Florida’s Tommy, Gomez meets the sensational ; “Jersey Joe” Walcott in a featur- ed heavyweight main bout at ; Madison Square Garden. Gomez, who hails from Tampa, | Florida, and has an impressive’ récord of 43 K. O.’s in the past’ 56 bouts, is a purple heart vet-| eran, receiving his wounds in the “Battle of the Bulge.” Walcott, who has recently Golf Club Hon Andy Park And First .prize of $10.00 in the, blind bogie staged at the Key! ‘West Golf Club was won by Andy Park with second prize of $5.00 going to Norman Artman, and, Charlie Smith taking third prize’ of $3.50. Low medalist honors went to Jimmie Mira and Andy Park.: ; Both scored impressive 80’s. Run- nerup was Humbert Mira, with; an 81, Jimmie Mira, who was low, scorer over the weekend, is one of the longest drivers ever to play on the local course. Jimmie can get awfully wild at times but when he does connect, it is generally a long drive. Mira uses~ a long; loose drive with -terrific wrist action at impact that is said to account for his long drives. This week was a proud day for James Cooper. The red-! hair-} ed one recorded his lowest score: | to date. It was a 42 and shattered | all his previous scores on the! local course, Individual scores are as fol-| lows: K. W.
