RALLY OF MIAMI
BEACH TEN WINS
AGAINST CONCHS
TWO Walks ALLOWED BY
LUNN GOT HIM IN TRoU-
Bile; BEAcHERs SCORE
FIVE IN EIGHTH

1t was cl0se-but there was
| such thing as an eventful eighth.
This in reference to the tourna-
| ment game the Key West Conchs
lost to Miami Beach Wednesday
, afternoon.
Two Aen were down on Miami
Beach in that inning. "Ah! All"
Lunn and his twists were supreme
on the mound. Then Lunn pitch
ed four balls to one of the weak
est hitters on the Beach ten. From
then on, four singles and a two
base hit in rapid succession scored
five runs and knocked the Conchs'
chances for loop.
1t was strange. Lunn allowed
only two walks the whole game.
| And both were fatal to him. Back
| in the fourth after two were down,
| also, Lunn passed another man.
Immediately runners began get
ting on base and a slashing double
put two men across the platter,
! wiping out an early two-run lead
the Conchs had garnered.
In their scoring splurge in the
second inning the Conchs had dis
| played a marvellous bunting at
tack. After getting man on by a
hit. the Key Westers Unbiased
profusion of soft hits all over the
| infield and when the Beachers
awoke to their defenses, two runs
had been marked up against them.
Two runs on one hit and bunts!
There's the scoring.
Aside from this, the Key West
ten put up just as great an exhibit
ton as advance reports had claim
ed they would. Gates at the hot
corner lined up eight chances
safely in his big glove to provide
the slickest fielding for the locals.
In Key West play he had fallen
down in fielding, but was expect
ed to be in shape by the time the
team made the trip. He was!
Sterling got the greatest hand
J from the crowd of about a thou
sand. He brought the stands to
their feet when he leaped high in
| to the air at first and pulled down
vicious swipe of the batter with
one hand.
eProfessor Wrinkley" Ingra-
ham. the dean of diamondball
catchers locally, was as usual
great without too much fuss.
Steady behind the plate, the Pro-
| fessor used his bat to good adj
vantage. clouting two smackers in
foor trips up. 1t is significant
| that no stolen bases We're mark
| ed against him.
| Gopher Gonzalez in left, whose
| particular pastime is parking UNI
| der any and all balls hit into his
| field, pulled down four skiers. in
/ an easy manner, Gates featured
! as a pinch hitter for Machin and
laid down as beautiful a bunt as
could be desired for hit in his
only time up.
/ The Miami Beach team, entered
in the tournament as Horizons
Beer, is practically the same team
that Key West played in the
[ tournament last year. The same
hurler, v. Norris, was on the
mound against them. And it was
nearly the same kind of a game.
Key West was holding tight last
year until late innings, when a
rally, just as this year, put the
opposition ahead and the Conchs
found themselves unable to over
take the lead in the few innings
remaining.
I The Key West bunch left Tues
day morning in a two-car motor
| cade. arrived in West Palm Reach
about 1880 o'clock that night,
spent the next day there, playing
a five O'Clock game, then left
Thursday morning for Key West
reaching their destination last
night.
The Conchs report wonderful
treatment by everyone. Hotel
Northwood was their headquar-
tiers.
