Flamingo Brass Meet In Ft. Lauderdale Interest of local baseball fans, who are holding their collective breaths in the hope that the Miami Beach Flamin- gos will decide to move their| - franchise to Key West, is cen- tered in Fort Lauderdale where | owner Paul Rust and General Manager Joe Ryan will meet|” today with a group in that city which is working fran- tically in an effort to induce the Flamingo management to Move to that city. The Miami Beach management met with four members of the city commission in Key West on Mon- day night in an effort to gain ap- Proval of their offer to come to Key West.’ At that time, they gained the support of three members of the commission, but Mayor C. B. Har- vey fought bitterly in an effort to gain additional revenue for the from the baseball operation. According to one spokesman, » Rust.did not feel too happy about the situation. Baseball lovers in Fort Lauder. di have. made the Flamingo Management a particularly fine offer in which they have granted the baseball club every conces- seion that they have asked for and in addition have guarrante- ed that they will sell some 1500 season passes for the 1953 cam- paign. However, Key West is still in the Tunning for the franchise. The city commission will vote ona mea- sure granting approval to the Flamingo plant to come here. The commissioners are expected to vote 4-1 in favor of the deal but by that time it could conceivably be too late to have any bearing on the situation. With spring training scheduled to get underway on March 15th the Miami Beach aggregation is not in a position to “waste any time,” a spokesman said. Yesterday, Rust and Ryan met with Armando Acevedo, who holds @ lease on the concessions at the Local Marine Finds Good Fishing Wickers Field Stadium in an effort to come to an agreement on a deal ‘ whereby the ball club would take | over the food and drink business at the ball park.

BURKE After talking to several sma!l craft owners the other day on their problems of getting their boats in- to the water, I did some checking that might be of interest to others. The only possible !and available for them is at the foot of Simonton Street. This property is owned by Maitland Adams and Eddy Strunk. At the present time, all craft owners that want to put their boats in the water must go through a hardshjp that would dishearten the average person. Not. less than three men are needed to do this. Not to get something started, but if the two gentlemen that own this strip of land, which is the only decent place on this ‘island, would let the small boat owners build their own cement ramp down to the water, then hundreds of per- sons would be saitsfied and happy. One boat owner particularly stat- ed that if permission was granted by whoever owned this property, j Peae 6 these Owners go through in getting ¢ |their boats#off car trailers down THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, CUBA’S CONSUL IN to the water and then back onto| L.A. DIED YESTERDAY | the trailers. It’s no picnic doing it, so some arrangements should be | made to give them a hand. he would donate $25 for the pur- pose of building a ramp. With the ideal conditions that exist around Key West, some pre- paration should be made for these | men to have their recreation as well as larger craft owners. Docks. and other facilities are | available for large craft, but the small owners have nothing in the way of a dock or berthing space. There will probably be some talk about the nuisance these - small crafts are among other boats, but there is plenty of water around this island for the ones here now, also the ones that will come in the| future. Getting back to the strip of land. If either of these two men, on whose property this ramp couid be built, will get in touch with me, I will gladly arrange the meeting with the small craft owners to get their problem settled I know, personally, the hardship Utah’s Don Rydalch was rated |a better quarterback than Okla- homa’s Eddie Crowder rado University basis , | Colorado in jcluded grid season.
