KEY WEST CONCHS have out
played and outbatted the Hialeah
and Fredericks Market mines in
the East Coast Winter Baseball
Leagues games SO far. Sunday
coming, all fans are hoping the
same can be said when Key West
meets the Railey- Milan nine
their last foe to conquer. Should
the Conehs defeat the Milams,
they will have downed all three
clubs in the league without de-
feat.
The locals used to be called the
"hitless wonders" because it was
thought that only Albury, Ace
vedo and one or two more could
really hit. However, averages
show that in the two games play
cd by the conchs so far, the locals
have polcd q safeties, including
three doubles. They have stolen
four bases and have miscued but
three times. They are not only
hitting hard but they are fielding
well.
The team seems to be getting
the cooperation needed for so
long. which is as it should be be-
cause the Conchs are not playing
for any individual--but for Key
West as a whole. The city is
getting valuable publicity out of
the games.
Visiting clubs may play in Key
West on the 18th, 25th and New
Years Day. Here's hoping they
do!

NOLAN Wins Low
MEDAL HONORS

Husky, mustachioed M. Parker
Nolan, the long-driving Congress
Sional Country Club star, has
finally come into his own as one
of Washington's top ranking anna
teurs.
The. big Congressional golfer
reeled off a brilliant round OF II
yesterday to win low medal honorS
in the twenty-eighth annual Chevy
Chase Club invitation tournament
and thereby installed himself as
one Of the tournaments ranking
favorites. Just back to the golfing
wars after a five-week layoff,
Nolan played the out nine in 81
strokes and returned in "a to win
the medal by a margin Of two
strokes.
DR.. Howard Smith, the surgeon
who performed q recent append
citis operation on Nolan, was his
playing partner in the qualifying
rounds and after they finished.
Bob Stead, chairman Of the golf
committee at Chevy Chase, came
up and said to DR.. Smith: IF that
is the result Of one Of your opera
tons, how about taking out mine?"
After they had walked a few
feet, Stead turned and said to DR.
Smith:
ooh, I almost forgot, I have
already had mine taken out. but
it has not improved my golf"

too much by his patient, shot 9

which was a stiff one, with Shark
and Aneroid following closely.
Pompoon was still well behind
the leaders as the half-mile post
was approached, after which
Woolf let him have the bit and he
passed the others as he pleased.
Halfway down the home stretch
there was no question as to the
ultimate winner, so handily was
Pompoon taking command and
improving with every step.
Barely had Pompoon won yester'

to see the remarkable performance

hard-luck horse because in both
the PreakneSs and Derby he had
the misfortune to trail War Ad-
miral across the line-were Of the
opinion that he was the best horse
in the field Of IL, because he left
his nearest competitor, Busy K,
four lengths behind. Masked

COCHRANE CLIPPER
Mickey Cochrane was somewhat
more clipper today than he was
when he arrived in Washington to
open this abbreviated series. He
will start Elwood Poffenberger this
afternoon, and the probabilities
are that Monte Weave will work
for Washington.
1--WE broke a streak for Wash
ington, which may mean that we
are going to start streak Of our
own" Cochrane said this morn
ing. ."We are not so far behind
as we might have been. Believe
me, when you have three hitters
like York, Greenberg and Geh-
ringer down below the 800
mark, it takes something out
| Of the team. When you add the
fact that Bridges and Rowe
have been so badly handicapped,
we're doing all right to be
where we are.
CROUCHER LOST
"Croucher is lost to the team
for this year. His broken leg
was horrible. Compound trsc-
ture and dislocation. But he re-
ports from Houston that he is
recovering fast. I suppose it
will be fast enough for 80.
"You got a good load Of Yer.

challenged Cochrane. ''Well,
that fixes the deal as far as I'm
concerned. You saw Walker
here. Not so hot, young Teller:
not so hot. And Ross has played
third as good as Owen would
have played. No regrets what
ever on that score.

race this year would be plenty
tough, and I look for 1t to be
that way. We're on our way
now, Strengthened out better
than we were, and ready to play

Zaharias, who wrestles Jake

night, is known throughout the
land as one of the mats villains.

Alack and alas for popular

should be, he can wrestle with
the best in the business. But he
is not a villain. On the con-

WINTER Day DREAMS

I'd no doubt sit in warmer cline
Away from hoary frost and CRIME.
TITS Florida, perhaps I'd pick,
For Of this snow and ice, I'm sick.
Id swim q little, play the fish,
And have my every, now dreamed wish.

In fact I'd most 60 anywhere.
what's that you say, my dinners there
