Exclusively at Shoe Center PHONE 2-2532 Ai¢-Conditioned For Your Comfort THEY RLAYED THE GAME By ALFONSO. |. DEAN Hello Sport Fans! This week we bring to you the second basemen of the. past. Many of us remember Carlo Su- arez, the brother of Miguel “Ba- by” Suarez, who played the second base for the Key West Cubans, un- der the managership of Rufus “John McGraw” Cleare. Carlo was tall and lean. He could jump high and could get down low. He was like a piece of rubber. Carlo was not a good hitter but was very good in defense. “Bull” Butler who starred with the “Coconuts Baseball Team” was another good second baseman. Bill is the most underated baseball player for the “Tigers” during the time that Jacob Chapman struck out three of the best hitters to ever bat against the “Tigers.” They were “Big” Mance, Bubber Cre- One's deportment can: either make or break the beauty of a wedding. If one is going. to attend a thing so beautiful as a church wedding, he should make up. his mind to addi to-its: beauty by de- porting himself in a becoming man- ner, It-is.fo be remembered ‘that the reserved seats are for the mem- bers of the families of the bride and groom and:special friends who have been invited to occupy them. Under no condition should a mad mob crash into these seats. When the bridal procession is in order it is absolutely rude to rush in and break the, line of march, It is also very rude to make re- marks of any kind in the church. No one. should ever move until the entire bridal party has moy- ed out with the recessional.. It is against all established rules of eti- quette to rush out just as the min- ister pronounces the couple hus: band and wife. The couple de- serves the honor'of being permit- ted to march out with the bridal party. To the young people in particu- lar — If you are to attend a wed- ding, it is in order to. dress be- comingly to the occasion. Dun- garees and sweat shirts do not constitute the proper attire. The reception is decidedly for friends and should not be ruined by a hungry mob of children and guests who knew that they. are not associates of the families of the couple. ‘ As several church weddings are on the agenda for. the month of August, the observance of these rules will tend to. make all happy. PERSONALS Voreece and Rosalind Dean, daughters of Mr. and Mrs.. George A. Dean, are spending two weeks with their cousin, Mrs. Lillian Farrington Baillou, in Miami: Mrs. Mildred Brown Harris, teacher of Douglass High School, is back in town after having spent the a vacation ‘with her family in Richmand, Virginia.

Miss Beatrice Bain had an eye opera- tion at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, ile there they lived with Mrs. Evelyn Kelly,’ mother- inlaw of Mrs. Dorothy Kelly, niece of the Bain sisters.

It was’ my Pleasure to manage the “Tigers” at that time. The game was play- ed in the back of the electric plant. Floyd Hannibal was also an out- standing second baseman for the “Tigers” also Erskine Sands who played for the - “Coconuts.” Ers- kin was a very good hitter and played heads-up bail. 2 “Chito” Ellis was the best of the outstanding second basemen. He knew where to play the hitters and was a good lead-off hitter. “Chito” deserves to be rated with the best. Next week is going to give me a tough job in placing the third basemen, I will appreciate some previous comment from the fans before the next issue.
