LOCAL SOFTBALLERS RETURNED TO
KEY WEST YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
BARKER HELD coNcHs TO
TWO HITS IN SEMI-FINAL
GAME WITH MIAMI BEACH
SUNDAY NIGHT

The diamondball team repre-
senting Key West in the Fourth
District Tournament at Miami last
week returned over the highway
yesterday afternoon, accompanied
by a number of enthusiastic fol-
lowers.
The locals lost the semi-final
game to Miami Beach Sunday
night, due mostly to seven errors
and two-hit pitching by Oliver
Barker.
Ward, Key West twirler in all
the games, hurled great bail but
. the poor fielding of his team
mates more than offset his great
performance.
Barker struck out fifteen
Conch players in hanging up his
brilliant mound work for the
night.
Hindu Bowen, catcher for the
Beach outfit, connected for HON ?
run in the third frame that end
ed scoreless playing and which put
the Beach boys in lead that they
never lelinquished.
A few hits and errors gave the
victors two runs in the fourth
and three in the eighth.
Miami newspapers claimed that
the local boys were a bunch of
busting players and with another
pitcher on the roster, they would
have reached the finals.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

One day last week, Mr.. Duke of
Rock Sound got Cookie Mesa to
be his partner aud So they played
against John Pinder and Charlie
Ketchum. 1t seems that Old Bye
has been waiting long time to
get revenge on those two boys for
defeat suffered some time ago
and the Duke knew if he had
Cookie to help him along, all
would be roses. 1t seems that
all those young boys could not
beat Grandpa Charlie Ketchum
alone on account of the Grandpa
one had "a strokes while Cookie
turned in 95. The Duke had
49-4S "a score which he was very
proud of and Mr.. Telegraph had
to be content with an even 100.
The score, however, was 8 up for
Cookie & Bye on account OF they
figured it that way.
Mr.. Timotheus Pistman of Ft.
LauderdaIe fame but lately of
this city was batting 'em out look
ing in another direction from
where he wanted his ball to go.
Mr.. Timotheus had Samuella
Goldsmith for partner and Pious
Willie Watkins and Otto Kirch-
heinsr for opponents. Mr.. Pittman
has not forgotten how to put the
pressure on when necessary and so
the first round wa geven and the
last round ended Cup for Tim &
Sam, largely on account of Mr..
Wat,.ins being like Max in the
funny paper-neither know their
own strength. When within so
yards of the last hole, Mr.. Willie
took out his wooden club called
"niblick" and Clipped the ball
clear over the green into the ba-
mana patch and oblivion. On an
other hole, Mr.. Kirchheiner made
a hole in one, the only trouble
being It was a different number
than the one being played.
Doc William Penababe Kemp de-
cided TO take key Parks for a
partner and let Charlie Salas take
Eddie Strunk but it was very
bad allowance on the part of Doc
on account of Hurricane Eddie
and Pirate Charlie took the mater
like nobody's business. And alt

Chi|d's Slayer Gets
Suicide Guard" on
Threat TO End Life

NEW YORK, March % (TN.S).
Salvatore Ossido, 26-year-old bar
ber, and confessed slayer Of a 8:
year-old girl, was closely guarded
in his cell today to prevent a
suicide attempt, while Brooklyn
authorities prepared to ask a grand
jury for murder indictment.
A special suicide guard" for the
killer was established after he
blurted out:
"I want to die. I feel like
killing myself"
This was after other prisoners
had threatened him when he was
brought to the jail, causing an up
roar as they shouted insults.
Ossido has been deprived of his
necktie, belt and shoe laces, and
his legs were incased in thick rub
ber bandages. This unusual meas
ure was ordered because Ossido
has varicose veins, and physicians
said he could easily cause himself
to bleed to death by opening a
vein.

Warren Case Cited
They are recalling, story tellers
in congressional cloak rooms, that
a very well known beet sugar at
torney, Charles Beecher Warren,
was turned down by the Senate in
executive session after he had
been proposed for the attorney
generalship by President Coolidge.
The reason was that Warren was
held to be too closely associated
with corporate interests.
That fight in the Senate was
celebrated because while it was in
executive session and the vote
closely guarded, newspapers were
able to obtain the vote for and
against Warren, much to the dis
satisfaction Of several Senators.
But what President Coolidge did
after that has a bearing on the
present theory that no lawyer out
standing in the present dispute
will be able to "get by" the Senate.
Mr.. Coolidge told the story him.
self at a well remembered Wash
ington newspaper dinner. He said.
in substance:
"When the Senate said it
didn't want MIR. Warren because
he was too closely affiliated with
the trusts, / thought of my old
friend John Sargent. You fellows
who have been with me up to

office. You 80 down that lane
