} H MONDAY, DECEMBER, 16, Raiders Protest Pirates’ | By NESTOR The Pirates nosed out the Red] ; afternoon; *° Winter League. The game, how- ever, was protested by Manager William Cates of the Raiders on grounds that the league time lim- it ruling was violated. In the event the Raider manager should win the protest, the game will have to played over. In the second contest, the Trojans wal- loped the Blue Sox, 9-5. Pirates drew first blood in the third inning of the opening game when an error and Garcia’s triple netted them a run. They added two more in their half of ‘the Salinero’s triple. The Raiders tallied once in the fourth on sin- gies by. Sterling and Roberts and an erver, Bucs scored three times in the fifth on four hits and the Raiders came to life in the sev- enth to cross the plate twice on a walk and three singles. They threatened in the eighth, scoring two more runs on an error, a walk, a hit and a triple by Es- mond Albury, but Jack Carbonell popped to end the inning with the tying run on third base. Pancho Salinero, who went all the away for the Pirates, pitched masterful ball, holding the Raiders to three hits for six innings. - He struck out five and issued only |’ two free passes. Bo Meador, the loser, was touched for 11 hiis as} he dropped his second game of the season. Meador struck out. six and walked two. Tony Alonzo, Pirate crack out- fielder, had a perfect day at the plate, walking twice and poling two hits. DeWitt Roberts led the losers’ attack with a triple and two singles in four trips. In the nightcap, the Trojans took an early lead by scoring seven runs in the first inning, during which 15 players batted, to sew up the ball game. Joe Domenech started for the Trojans but was relieved by Charlie “Albury in the eighth. | Domenech, who gets credit for] the win, struck out three and walked none in seven innings. Al- bury struck out one in two in- nings. Cruz started for the Blue Sox but was knocked out in the fifth. Diaz relieved him and hurled shutout ball the rest of the way. Dukes, Trojan second baseman, led their attack with a double and two singles, and Lopez, Blue Sox third sacker, topped the losers at bat with a double and. two sin- gles.

They called them the Yellow Monkeys anti John McGraw who was with them was nicked-named the yel- low monkey. That moniker stuck to him for many years after. In 1908 the Key West team the Cuban Browns, 4 to 1, but lost tq Almendares by a 3 to @ score with the great Mendez in the box. On Oct. 8,9, and 10, Almendares came to Key West! for return games and we all can remember when he pitched and shut out Key West by the same score as in Cuba, 3 to 0. He yielded anly one hit, a bunt by ‘Tomas and only two men reached first, Tomas and Cheek, the catchers who was hit by a pitched ball. Key West had five players from the Three I league, Cheek the catcher, Hagerman the pitcher, Cuthbert at second, Neyes at third and Shannon, who pitched and played in the outfield.
