This will be the cry of the umpire at 6:30 P.M. Wednesday at Bayview Park when the Little Base- ball League officially opens. This will be a red ‘letter day in the life of some 50 youngsters. Spanking brand new uniforms have been provided by four Key West Civic organizations. Thes clubs are also sponsorinz the four ball teams entered in the league. Mayor Louis,M. J. Eisner will toss out the first ball. City manger Dave King will be on hand to receive the pitch. Providing still further entertainment will be the Junior High school band which will furnish music before the game and be- tween innings. The Kiwanis club crosses bats with the Rotarians in the first tilt. Capt. “Lefty” Regan, manager of the Ki- wanis, has served notice on Robert Dopp, leader of the youngsters who will play under the Rotary banner, that he has a club which he} expects to take the cham- pionships. Paul Albury, city re- creational director and for| many years a baseball play- er as well as a club man- ager, is pilot of the Lions. In the nightcap of the open- ing doubleheader he_ will lead his youngsters against the JayCees, who will be managed by Everett Sweet- ing, well known softball player. The games will be played on the softball field at the Park. The regulation field for the youngsters con- forms with the softball field layout for adults. Winner of the city league will compete in the section- al tournament with a chance of going to the na- tional championship play. Gun Club Holds Handicap Match Members of the Southernmost Pistol and Rifle Club thoroughly enjoyed a handicap rifle match held Sunday at. their Stock Island range. In spite of a. stiff breeze, which will put a kink in the tally of the. best .wind-dopers, some fine scores were turned in. The prize of a_ silver belt buckle was won by Ben Freer with a score of 600 and 26 Ray Virgin was second with 596 and 13 x’s and Al Geck was third with 590—15x. The lineup also included: S. Esquinaldo, M. Little, D. Pinder, B. Claxton, B. Crouse and R. Morrow. The range officer conducting the match was Lt. Tom Little. Hot Rod Cars Threaten Courts Youngsters with hot rods have been racing across the three un- completed tennis courts at the County Beach. The courts still lack backstops and net posts. There is. nothing to stop the drivers from going across the concrete surfaces of the courts but the vigilance of county officials. The courts may well be ruinea by this kind of treatment. Net posts and backstops, as well as a little more consideration on the part of the drivers, would save them for their real purpose.

He also won three former bouts nce he officially lost his title to Ezzard Charl last September 27. These were against Cesar Brion, Freddie Beshore and Ome- lio Agramonte. Agramonte, whose last fight a; hopes to stop the former cham- pion’s winning streak now that he has had one serious encounter with him other than the two ex- hibition fights the pair gave in Cuba in.1949. Agramonte, who has bdéen: boxing as a since 1946, holds decisions over Abel, Cestac, John -Helmansand Bill Gilliam.

That was after giving up only four earned runs. Tolls has plenty of stuff but he got off shakily and had to be re- lieved by Pete Glendening who got credit for the game. In the nightcap, Miland pitched good bail for OpDev Sta. but McDonald noneth is hit a tri- ple which spelled “showers” for him. Greenwood was way off and lost the game in the _ seventh. | Flohr—“Fireball” his SubRon 4 teammates cail him® held the Dev boys to one hit in four frames, but in the fifth, an’ er- ror, two walks, and a single gave them two runs.

Former champion Peter Varela goes to Miami today for an opera- tion to restore circulation in his right arm to normal. Every junior and senior player on the Rock is wishing a swift and complete recovery for him and an early re- turn to the sport for which he has done so much. His match with Don Cruz was replete with all of the old Vare steadiness and rapier-like forehand into the cor- ners. This third Junior-Senior match was another step in the determi- nation of city’s senior players to develop a bumper crop of young tennis. players ‘and receive them into the fold.
