This gave her a total at Yaa eee guerter mark; of und 'scor second 18 holes of the match, she shot a brilliant 84, ap. 264 and matched her first ro % vast week, ift.the proaching men’s par over most of the course and failing to break 80 only by the worst golfing luck. In second place, a few Faraldo whose third round leagues to the rear, is Kay 97 gave her a total for the 54 holes of 288, Her half way score was 191. Piedad Archer had one¥- of the best days in her golf- ing career and came up with a 92 for the 18 rounds. Her first two efforts hadn't been up to this pace, and her half way total was 199. Now, with 291 for the 54, she stands in third place and has.a good chance of| overtaking Kay Faraldo. Julia Nelson. who . had . been pushing Kay Faraldo for second with a 192 total at the half-way. point, blew up Thursday and came home with a 103, That gives her 296 so far and fourth place in the trophy race. In fifth is Rose Gavilan, whose 103 for the third round gives her 299. Peggy Harris, with 103 and a three-quarters score of 300, is in sixth, Wahneta Kovash added 103 to her half-way total of 205.

All of the oldtimers will remem- ber “Gunner“ Morgan. I don’t re- mmber him as a player but I do recall that he was an enthusiasti¢ fan. He never missed a ball game: I don’t know who financed the trip of the Cincinati Reds to Key West in 1908 but, the events and the games of that peroid are clear in my mind. We had some great sports fans in those days. George Brooks Sr., Judge B.B. Walton, Jese Johnson, and E. Lounders sponsored the games here. At that time, the Key West club had five players from the Three “I” league playing here. Later they played in the big leagues, And that year, the Almendares baseball club played in the Island City, and we went to Cuba for some games. The locals had Cheek for catcher, Hagerman as pitcher, Panther Pent on first, Cuthbert at secand, Noyes at third, Evaristo Rodriguez at short, Tomas in left field, Medina in center, Cheche Mira in right, and Shannon, a pitcher, playing center in some of, the games. Key West went to Cuba and de- feated the Fe club and the Banaa Reds, but lost to Almandares by a 3 to 0 score. Mendez was in the, box. MeGram ciaifnedi that Meén dez would have been worth a mil- lion dollars'if he had geen'-whitev He. called him “The Black Dia- mond,” ‘ 5 In the first game here, Mendez shut out the locals 3 to.0 and Mu- noz won by the same seore in the second. In the third game, Key West won to 4 to 3. Marsans play- ed second for Almandares, Stikee. Gonzalez was catcher, Castillo was at first, Alemida at third, Carbrera at short, Valdez, Hidal- go, and Rogers were in the gar- dens, and General Sagua pitched the last kame for the Cubans. When Cincinnati came _ here, they had McLean behind the plate, j;Apade, Dubuc and Campbell in the box, Hoblizel at first, Hul- switz at second, Hans Lobert at third, Miller Huggins at short, Pierce, Wingo, a catcher, and one of the pitchers played the out- field. The oldtimers will remember when Charles Falk was crossing left field in fungo hitting and the ball hit him on the head. And the great Hans Lobert then fastest man to circle the bases, who ran vagainst’ the best Key“West had to offer, and made thestirclé in T4 seconds. Tomas miade*it in l4-ang f, one fifth while Lee Pierce did it in 14 and three fifths In December, Hagerman * and Cheek went to Cuba and played for the Havana Reds, who won the pennent. They called Hagerman “Chelito” in those days. From there, he went to the big leagues, with Cheek as his battery mate on the Cups. The fans will also remember Hobdlitzel, the left hit the ball over the right field fence and into the yard of Luis Harris. Gunner Morgan then was a lit- tle over 40 and his playing days were over. Nevertheless, I remem- ber him very well at all the ball games, at the Gato Park, Navy yard, or barracks. He was and still is a great baseball fan. I think ‘those players were the last paid players Key West had. Not far away, however, is the i ew have, pli tenet whem ar Gee AeA. stead of having te, work five days a week and then play on Sunday’s —although? we must admit, they do a fine of ity Joe Cambria, when he told this a few weeks ago, said that it was hard to be- lieve that they could play such a good brand of bail and yet only get their hands on a ball once a week. Key West has had baseball for 70 years. The first international ball game was played here in 1892 and Felo Rodriguez brought the} first club to Key West from Cuba to play.- May we have good baseball for many years to come, and many more good 100 percent fans like Charles “Gunner” Morgan. o A tine ail itt aati abet ete | .ing’s bowling to raise their point total to 32.
