"It's In The Bag,” Say City Commissioners Of Tampa $ Fund Drive Set To Buy Out The Concessionaire At Wickers Field The city commission, sparked by commissioners John Carbonell and Louis M. J. Eisner, gave the go- ahead signal yesterday af- ternoon to final arrange- ments for the transfer of the | Tampa Smokers of the Flori- da International League to ‘this city. “It’s in the bag,” they said after they agreed informally to give the Tampa operation the same deal they had earli- er offered the Havana and Ft. Lauderdale teams, which includes use of the park, lighting system and conces- sions at a flat 20 per cent of the net profit—if any. At the same time, a committee was named to organize a fund raising campaign to obtain money to purchase the concessions from | the present lessee, Armando Ace- vedo, who has indicated that he will sell them for $500. The con- cessions would then be presented to the club. Louis Carbonell, who was named chairman of the drive said that it “should be wound up today.” He also reported that in a phone conversation with Tom Spi- cole, Tampa president, he was assured that if the concessions are available to him, he will be 1 ARNO LAMB HURLS NO-HITTER _ |TemisPlay xk & Rem wk” 5 Pe eT Coral Gables Plays Junior League All Stars Here July 4th Kite ok Ace Righthander Too Much For Evans’ Players Arno Lamb, American Indistrial Sales ace righthander, pitched a perfect game against Evans Enter- prises in the second game of a double header Saturday night as they swept both ends of the twin bill, 16-1 and 2-0. In the opener, Roy Gleeson limited the All Stars to two hits, a second inning double by Kenneth Kerr and an infield hit by John Lewis in the fourth while his teammates were backing him up with a sixteen hit attack off Bill Franklin and Rocky Ma- rucci. Satch Somersall, AIS outfielder, led the attack in the first game with a single, double, and homer in five tries to drive in four runs. Buster Zeigler, AIS playing mana- ger, had two singles in four tries and drove in four runs. In the nightcap, Lamb turned in one of the best pitching exhibitions ever witnessed in Key West as he shut. out Evans without a hit and without a man reaching first. Lamb struck out 13 and only eight balls were hit off him. Not a ball was hit in the outfield and Al Acevedo and DeWitt Roberts were the only hitters whom Lamb didn’t strike out. in town ready to play ball on next Tuesday night. At that time, : the Smokers have a series set with St, Petersburg followed by a three game set with Ft. Laud- erdale. ; But today in Tampa, Spicola is scheduled to meet with a large group of businessmen who are in- terested in purchasing the team to keep it in that city. Falling at- tendance has been given as the reason for the attempted switch | here. Ft. Pierce, which has also gone on record as wanting the club, is apparently out of the running, The only bright spot for Evans was the fact that Roberts pitched one of the best games of his career as he matched Lamb, pitch for pitch, until Roy Thomas worked him for a walk in fifth. Up to this moment not a man had reached base off Roberts. In the same fifth, Jack Blanton, AIS leftfielder, got the first hit off Roberts, a high bouncer over first baseman Bobby Lastres’ head. In the sixth, AIS scored their only runs off Roberts. Knobby Rosa opened the inning by drawing a walk, Whitey Campbell Today, Louis Carbonell said that he will attend the meeting of the elty commission which is set for 5:00 p. m. to iron out details of the deal, Legion Defeats VEW By 8-0 Score The American Legion Post No. 168 won over the VFW Jr. Amer- ican League team last night by an 8 to 0 score, Saunders pitched six-hit ball and shut out the VFW boys. It was a fast game and it lasted but one- hour and thirty minutes. Fields hit two safely for the losers and D. Carey slammed a double and But- ler a triple. For the winners, Bennett and Barnett each hit two safely. In the field, Bruno and Fields were out- stnding for the losers, and Starr, Portier for the winners, * Score: R. H. E.

The money came from a Cali- fornia resident (not identified by the railroatl) who said he took ad- vantage of a confused conductor on a train running late and rode from Lenexa, Kan., to Springfield, Mo., without a ticket. The man added “thanks for the favor” and said he was short of money at the time.
