Kickoff time: 8:15 p.m. (EST), The Board of Directors of the Key West Baseball Club, in a meet- ing Saturday night at the office of Doctor Julio DePoo to consider the possibility: of making a few chang- es in the business management of | the Conch organization heard Bob Doty, who is presently the general mgr. of the Lakeland Pilots out- line his qualifications for a possible position here, ‘That there will be a change in the Conch high command, has been rumored for some time. Mr. Doty evidently impressed the board, which is no news to club prexy Louis Carbonell, who said that he has known Doty for some time and when he heard he was available arranged for Saturday’s interview. The club has its eye on affilia- tion with some major league club and it appears that Doty’s former connection with both the Cardinal and Indian chains may act in his favor. One of the Conch directors, Dr. Herman K. Moore made his stand clear when he said “what we need is a young man with experience and one that can hustle and get |us some young ballplayers. This is a baseball town and we aim to give the fans a better brand of baseball than what we did last season. The only way to do it is by having someone who can get out and get the best available play- ers. With that kind of support we are getting from the fans—they de- serve the best that we can get and that should be our aim.” The interview with Doty is the first of several to be conducted vith prospective candidates for the job. J Drastic changes in the Key West roster are seen for the coming season, according to the discussion at the meeting. |Today's Games By The Associated Press American League Washington at Detroit Boston at Chicago (Only games scheduled) National League Cincinnati at Brooklyn St. Louis at New York (Only games scheduled) U.

(#—Crackling flames swept through a Belmont Park barn last night on the eve of the famous race track’s three- week fall meeting. Twenty-three valuable thoroughbred horses were burned to death. Another horse had to be destroyed. although the blaze engulfed the huge wooden structure in 15 min- utes. Some of the rescued thor- oughbreds also were injured. Two nationally known horses stabled here for today’s opening were among those saved. They were Primate, Kentucky Derby hopeful of last season from the a stake race winner who ran with the top 2-year-olds at the recent Saratoga meeting. Some of the horses that died in the fire were listed by track offi- cials as Greensboro, a 2-year-old owned by E. B. Benjamin of New Orleans; Devil’s Spy, Wild Jamie, Buzzing Bee and Tocoli, all owned by Willie Knapp; and Eraser, Big If, Ornament and Burladero, owned by J. T. Moloney. Washburn, trained by Morris Dixon Jr., had to be destroyed. The value of the lost animals was estimated to be in the hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. A groom, Mike Novach, was taken to a hospital with smoke poisoning. Several firemen were treated at the scene for minor injuries. The fire leveled the barn. Nearby is the wreckage of another stable in ~vhich a young groom and 21 valuabie Shoroughbreds were killed by fire last spring.
