PICKED OUTFIT
PLAYED TO TIE
CONTEST WENT BUT SEVEN
INNINGS, ENDING S TO S;
INGRAiAM AND STERLING
HIT HARD

The team selected to represent
Key West in the Fourth District
Diamondball Tournament and a
club picked by Manager Caraballo
of the Red Devils played to a tie
last night at Bayview Park.
The contest went only seven
innings, due to poor financial
support. A collection was taken
up at the game, at which about
300 fans was present, and only
$2.1O was donated. 1t is shown
that more than this amount is
needed to pay for the lights.
Those in charge of the games
state that if local fans want to
have diamondball played under
the lights, they will have to give
more support in the future.
While the game lasted last
night, it was exciting and hard
fought all the way.
In the very first inning, the
Lopez Funeral Home players put
over three runs. Baker walked;
Woodson went out. Kerr hit
hot one through short. Sterling
doubled, scoring Baker and Kerr.
Albury hit another single, scoring
Sterling. Mccarthy hit a lire
drive to Acevedo, who doubled Al
bury off first. /?
