How many people win vote at
the general election to be held
November 6" is a question which
is being asked by a number of
people in Key West today.
There are many varied opinions
relative to this question and it will
not be answered, of course, until
the votes are counted.
However. the general opinion
is that there will not be many bal
lots cast. as there appears to be
a general apathy concerning the
amendments, three for the county
and seven for the state at large,
and none of the candidates,
state or county. have any opposi-
ton.
The qualified list of voters for
the county : published in this is
sue of The Citizen. There are

GLASS DOOR OF
AUTO BROKEN BY
RIFLE SHOOTING
TAX COLLECTOR FRANK LADD
REPORTS DAMAGE TO CAR
WHICH WAS PARKED NEAR
CORNER OF PoSToFFIcEs
81

Tax Collector Frank Ladd re-
ceived evidence this week that the
sIingshot, or air rifle. shooters are
on the job when he discovered that
the glass in the door Of his car
had been shattered.
AS the tax collector lives near
the postoffice the conclusion is
that the same gang which is re-
sponsible for breaking window
and door lights in the federal
building is responsible for the
broken glass in the auto door.
There are some who say that
slingshOt missiles have no great
force behind them and that shot
from an air rifle will do no great
harm unless it strikes the eye Of
the person hit.
This is foolish, says Mr.. Laid,
as the glass in the door Of his car
is one quarter inch thick and was
absolutely shattered by the mis-
sile and anything with that
amount of force behind it will in
jure when it strikes any part of
the body.

YALE MAKES
CLEAN SWEEP

NEW LONDON, Conn, June %.
U.P)-The long-stroking layback Of
Ed Leaders Yale crews proved its
supremacy over Harvard's fast
beating crimson late yesterday -
proved it by the first sweep the
Thames had witnessed in four
years. Yale won all three races.
Yesterdays varsity race was a
match of flawless stroking against
the dogged courage of an underdog
Harvard crew, trying to prove once
more the jinx that has beset Yale
for the last college generation.
In the last mile Yale's supreme
stroking was equal to the task. The
Eli eight raced through the white
lanes of cruising yachts, pulling
slowly and evenly. TO widen the
gap between its shell and the
Harvard boat that had rowed five
strokes faster to the minute but
could not match Yale's race.
AS the slender hulls slid under
the railroad bridge, Sam Drury,
gaunt stroke Of the Harvard crew
who had tried to fill the shoes Of
Gerry Cassidy, whose miracle boats
beat Yale three times, slumped for
ward, utterly spent.
Johnny Jackson stroked Yale's
shell at 80 TO the minute without
raising the bat until the last sprint
to the finish.
Yale's was 1914, breaking the
course record. Harvard, in 20:0l.3,
was also two-fifths Of a second un-
der.
President Roosevelt, riding the
referees boat, Dodger III. saw Har-
wards freshman crew, with his son,
Franklin d. Jr., rowing at No. 6,
beaten by Yale's yearlings over a
two-mile course by 3 2-5 seconds.
The Yale Jayyees, stroking the
same smooth spacing that featured
all three Eli crews yesterday, won
by eight seconds over Harvard's
Junior varsity. The Freshman
time was 9:47.3, the Jayvee, 9:4o1.

, reacn and his aggressiveneSS
throughout kept Fernandez wor-
ried. Several times Kenny would
jump up and lambast his taller
rival with stinging blows to the
head or in the stomach the latter
causing Reno to vince and show
caution in an effort to keep Reed
away.
In the seventh frame Reno open
ed up and appeared to be on his
way to put Reed down only to
run right into a series of stiff jolts
to the head which snapped him
back on his launches and taught
him to respect his opponent.
The first two bouts on the card
were short but sweet each ending
in quick knockouts.
In the four round special Bicy-
Gle Red OMalley won from Brute
BogarduS by a technical knockout
in the second round Brute went
down twice in the first round for
counts of nine and after he hit
the canvas two more for the same
count in the second stanza his
seconds threw in the towel.
Red packed too much wallop for
Bogardus and the San Diego boy,
who put up such a good fight
against OMalley here two weeks
ago, was unable to hold up his
end of the argument last night.
In the four round preliminary,
Manuel Martinez kayoed Eddie
O'Neal in less than one minute of
the first round The boys squared
off, danced around the ring a
couple Of times and then Eddie
walked right into one of the sweet
est haynakerS seen here in some
time. He went down and stayed
down for the count and the even
ings program was off to good
start.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

Master-minding by President Tom

pitching brought the Portland club
to within half a game Of deserting
the cellar of the Pacific coast
league today.
Turner took over direct handling
of the team he owns when Man
ager Walter McCredie IS illness pre-
vented his getting around. With
Turner on the bench and the BeaV-
er pitchers limiting the opposition
to absolute minimumS in the hit
ting and run-getting department
the club has started TO go places.
The Beavers won their third OF
the series from the San Francisco
Seals last night. Wilson pitched q
five hit shutcut, coming close TO
the three hit runless game Caster
displayed earlier in the week. Port
land collected nine hits off Sam
Gibson and won 80
Oakland became the first team in

week by defeating the Mission
Reds, 6-2. 1t was the Oaks fourth
straight victory over the second

pitching turned in the win.
Sacramento defeated Hollywood

Substituting for Art Mccullough

last night Spud Stone. Colorado
heavyweight lost to Dixie Dugar
/ by a technical knockout when h,
failed to come out to start the
! fifth round.
The Colorado boys finish started
in the previous round when Dugar
waded in and staggered his op'
ponent with two hard rights tc
the head. Stone woozeled about
the ring q short time and ther
went down, taking a nine count
Getting up he found Dugan al
over again and he flopped again
the count reaching seven as the
bell sounded for the end OF the
round.
Just before the fifth stanza was
to start his second told the ref
cree to stop the bout and Bill
Tackett raised Dugans hand in
token of victory.
Stone looked very good as he
started the fight. He had the ad-
vantage of reach over his stockier
opponent and kept jabbing Dixie
in the face particularly over ms
left eve where a recent cut had not
completed healed. Within a short
time Dugan's optic showed signs
of the peppering it was receiving
but not enough damage was done
TO keep him from boring in and
lanbasting Stone whenever the
opportunity presented itself.
In the second round these two
heavies put on a slugging match
that would have done credit to
any pair of bantams in any ring.
They stood toe to toe and Just
pumped blows into each other
until it seemed one or the other
must go down.
Art Mccullough, local heavy who
was prevented from scrapping
Dugan last night because OF an
infected tonsil challenged the WIN
