Monday, May 11, 1953 THE FROM THE By OSCAR MILIAN SOCOOOSOOOOHOOOOOOOCOOOE If Paul Davis, Key West Conchs coach, keeps his pitching staff in the same shape and form that, George Lastres, Don Cruz, Gilbert Gates and Jerry Pita has been per- forming, there is no doubt that the southern conference district tour- nament will rest in Key West this year. The hurling of George Las- tres, who has an average of better than 10 strike outs per game in the total games he has pitched this season, will prove a big factor in bringing the 1953 championship to this city. Watch the Conchs when the eliminations begin! Seems like “Eagle Eye” Davis has finally. found the right spot Yor infielder Dick Salgado. Dick who has played just about every spot on the field without very much success has been doing a great job at second lately. The kid’s fast thinking and snap throwing has played a big part in the conchs many double plays. Outfielder Eloy Rodriguez, who hails from a baseball playing fam- ily, dating back to the early 1900's, has becorne quite a clouter, the lad has made it a habit to clout at least one three-bagger- in every series.

He prefaced the statement with: “Our side does not acknowledge at all that there are prisoners who illogically refuse repatriation.” Nam I said that continued Allied questioning of the Communist pro- Posals was delaying the armistice negotiations. He added that details “can easily be decided upon through consultation.”” Harrison charged the Communist delegates with failure to explain satisfactorily their eight-point plan. “Yesterday,” he added, “‘our side asked a number of questions con- cerning the nature of the explana- tions you propose will be made to the prisoners . . . “You have failed to answer those questions today. We see no justifi- cation for a period of four months for explanations.” ‘ Harrison also wanted to know communist views on the size of armed forces to be sent to Korea by the five neutrals to supervise the prisoners, to whom the com- manders of each armed force would be responsible and who would pay their expenses.
