Gibby Gates, who scored \but three goals from the |field in last night’s contest, jproduced them just when | they were needed when he dumped in his three buckets in the final moments of the contest to give the Conchs the game winning edge. Things had looked dark indeed for the Key Westers earlier in the ballgame when they were on the short end of the hefty deficit but |they came back ond copped the win. Julio Henriquez, with eleven counters for the evening, kept the Conch threat rolling throughout | the contest. i The game started out to be-a jelose one with the teams, who | were evenly matched throughout | all knotted up at 10-10 after a hectic first period. | At the half, however, the visitors jhad. a two point margin, 17-15, as they relied on a tight zone ‘de- fense to cope with a Conch fast break. Stu Logun was the only BENCH VIEWS By JACK K. BURKE All whys and wherefores of the baseball question have been thrashed through in this city fo the past .everal days. Yet, the fin- al analysis is that one man and he alone held up organized profes- sional baseball from being played in the City of Key West. His motive or objective in doing this is something of a mystery to! all. What he expected to gain can- not be answered. Several Key Westers have stated that when his lease comes up for renewal, in September they will bid against him with the understanding that all the profits gained from the conces- sions at Wickers Stadium will be given over to the City. That type of proposition cannot be turned down. City Commissioner John Carbo- nell, faced with a loss in his busi- ness, fought for the baseball lov- ing fans from the very start of this venture. His objective was not to better himself, but to do what the people elected him for, and that was to serve them. Lou Carbonell and Hank Day, the other two men involved, in trying to get. the Miami Beach franchise here, are still pondering the ques- tion; “‘What happened?” Someday | Page 6 j THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Gibby Gates Leads Conchs To 37-35 Win Over St. Theresa’s Friday Saturday, January 31, 1953 BOG RACES TONIGHT POST TIME 8:00 P.M.
