WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER ee Who Are Soft - Ball: Champs, ~ Lewis Asks’ George Lewis, manager of Ad. ams Dairy softball cluv, wants | to. know who the city softball | champions are for 1947. He writes as follows: } “The Bob’s Sports Shop won the Class A league flag and Ad- ams won the Class B flag. Who | are the city champions—Bob’s | Sports Shop or us? We won the flag with the same club that we started with on April 14 with one exception, Johnny Walker. “The Bob's started with one club and ended with almost a new @lub and had to sign a new pitcher, and* Barber, Lastres, Cates, Miller and Griffen were all signed after the second hali was started. “But we will not discuss that. What I want to know ig who are the 1947 City Softball cham- pions? “Are there. going to be two | champs on the records—the Ad- | ams Dairy and the Bob’s Sports Shop hine? There’ certainly | cannot be two champs, so we would like to hear from Bob's | Sports Shop about this. “GEORGE LEWIS, Megr., “Adams Softball Club.” Roma Dillard Is Bowling Winner Even to the last five minutes of bowling among the Navy Wives at the Submarine Base bowling alleys, Tuesday | morning, everyone was on pins and needles as the scores were | running very close, The winner j was picked, then — the final | scores came in. | Roma Dillard, with a handicap | of ten pins, rolled 193, bringing | her total score of three games | up to 469.

Although the game went only seven innings, the feat of Griffin holding the strong Boca Chica Flyers without allowing a hit or a run or a man to reach first base for six innings will long be remembered by those who saw it, In the sixth, Griffin walked Lee with two outs and_ spoiled his perfect game, but he entered the local hall of fame just the same. $s far back as I can remember, Paddy Watkins did it once, as did Quintan Lopez, Sevilla, Joe Casa,’ Tony Head, Robert Bethel and a few others whom I can not recall at present, but it has only hap- ened in Key West baseball about a dozen times in the last 40 years. | Not long ago, Griffin pitched a one-hit game. That safe blow came in the ninth frame (with two men down. i On September 28, Gabby Las-' tres pitched a two-hit game against Lake Worth. One of the hits came in the third and the other in the seventh.
