KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen


This is payday at the local nav
al station from which about $780,
900 month is put into circulation
in Key West. The personnel of
the station, numbering commits
stoned officers and enlisted men,
get about $4,000 monthly, while
a similar amount goes to the civil
Ian employees and laborers IN con-
nection with the station. Then
needs of the station supplied by
the local merchants totals about
$4,000 month, Lieutenant
James Gately estimates. The nav
al station has been paying off
twice monthly, but will adopt the
method of paying weekly in the
future, and Friday will be pay
day. The new arrangements will
start the first of the year. This
will give the payroll at the naval
station as approximately $4,000
weekly from the first day Of jan
uary.

Leila went on. "he wrote back

ton Bees; Johnny Allen, pitcher OF
the Cleveland Indians; Bob La
Motto, vice president and business

Honorable mention went to
Branch Hickey, vice president
and general manager Of the st
Louis Cardffials; j. A. Robert

of the Boston Red Sox, among the
major league executives. Joe Nc

managers and Joe Medwick, st.
Louis Cardinals; Charley Gehrin-
ger, Detroit Tigers; Lou Gehrig
and Vernon Gomez, New York
Yankees, and Carl Hubbell, New
York Giants, among the players.
Barrow is cited as having con-
tributed much to the success of
the Yankees through his acumen
in handling players, maintaining
sources for new talent and bust
ness conduct of the club. McKech-
ME won the accolade for his skill
in plotting the Bees to fifth place
with light hitters, handling Of
pitchers and development of Jim
Turner and Lou Fette. Allen was
given the palm because his feat
of winning is and losing only one
game in season, interrupted by
an appendicitis operation, gave
him a lifetime percentage record
in the majors of .739, unequalled
by any pitcher, past or present.
LaMotte, a former shortstop, is
credited with being largely re-
sponsible for the 1925 attend.
ance at Savannah the past season,
record for a Class B club. Flow
ers, former Brooklyn Dodger
and st. Louis Cardinal infielder,
is picked as the leading pilot in
the minors because he inspired
his Salisbury team to come back
and win the championship after
dropping from the top to the bot
tom by having 81 victories sub
tracted on a league ruling. Kel-
ler's sput to the top of the Inter
national Leagues batting aver
ages in his first year as profes-
sional player is acclaimed as the
outstanding performance of the
minors.
