FUNERAL HOMERS
May LOSE SERIES
MINUS THEIR THIRD BASE
MAN AND AGAINST
STRONG TEAM

The Lopez Funeral Home dia-
mondbalI ten may be beaten for
the first time in series this sum-
mer season.
The count now stands at one all
with the Key West Stars. And
from the last contest between
these two teams, the Stars look to
have a good chance of coping the
fracas tonight and the series.
Then too. the Funeral Home will
be much weakened by the absence
of William Gates from their line
up. This player is reported on a
sponging trip.
The once invincible Lunn, who
has been pounded pretty hard late
ly, will be on the mound to fight
it out with Hernandez of the Stars.
Hernandez is on the comeback
trail and has one victory over the
Funeral Home to his credit al
ready.
If the Undertaken team wants
to win tonight they'll have to
hustle some as the Star team ex-
poets to hustle right along with
them.

UPPER DIVISION
TEAMS WIN AGAIN
In LEAGUE GAMES
PIRATES AND SLUGGERS
EASILY WIN FROM FENIX
AND TROJANS; HITTING
PLENTIFUL YESTERDAY
(By JOVE)

Well the Pirates and Sluggers
did it again.
Playing against the Trojans
and Fenix, respectively, they won
lat and SO in yesterdays league
doubleheader.
The Trojan-Slugger fracas was
a seesaw contest. In the first in
ming, the youths team scored
once. Then the Sluggers came
back and scored four times and
twice again in the fourth. The
Trojans put one over in the third,
one in the fourth and then broke
loose with a four run rally in the
sixth, tying the score. But when
the lucky or unlucky seventh, as
you feel about it, was over, the
Sluggers had tailed seven times
on galaxy of hits, errors and
wild throws. The Trojan pitching
and fielding broke that inning and
spoiled game that might other
wise have gotten exciting. Baker
was the hitting star of this game
with three safe cracks.
In the nightcap, it was too
much Pirates again. Besides VIM
ming every game they have played
this season SO far, they secured
the services of two more sterling
players. A former shortstop of
the FOnix and the speed ball
artist and slugger, Quintan Lopez.

up. Fans were surprised. there
