Much interest centers in the
baseball games to ne played at
Trumbo Field tomorrow and La
Dor Day afternoons with double
headers scheduled for each day.
Sundays contests will bring to-
gether Key West Conchs and Pr
rates in the first game and Holly
wood All-Stars VS.. TrojanS in the
nightcap.
Trojans Confident
Trojans will start the same
lineup, which last Sunday shelled
Robert Bethel from the mound,
with exception of "Bubber" Wick
ers, who will get the pitching
assignment instead of Navarro,
who worked against the Conchs.
Wickers and Ives hooked up in
mound battle in Hollywood
three weeks ago when the ALI
Stars won a l to game from the
Trojans. Wickers has not pitched
game since that tilt and there
should be plenty of hop on his
speed ball Sunday.
The team claims to be ready
after a hard weeks practice. High
chested because of their sensa-
tional victory of Roy Hamlin's
city champions last Sunday, the
Courtyard Park boys will trot out
with a winning spirit that to all
indications will take more than
the highly-touted Ives of Holly
wood to hold down Joe Navarro
and Co.
Stars To Use Ives
Ingham's All-Stars are fresh
from several successive victories
and are not overlooking what
the locals might have been do
ing in and around this city since
the two clubs first meeting in
Hollywood, and will depend on
the soupbone of the great, little
Ives to bring home the bacon by
letting down Key Vests second
best team as he did in his home
city. But there's no telling what
may happen at the field tomor-
row except that the visiting team
is in for big surprise.
BUGS After Another Win
The first game will find Ray
Bush's Pirates trying to solve the
slants of either Robert Bethel or
Lucilo Gonzalez, whichever will
be the Conchs' selection. The
Pirates were unable to win from
Hamlin's gang all during the
first-haIf schedule of the Monroe
County League but that does not
mean that the BUGS, with their
fighting spirit, will not give the
Conchs a little trouble and may
come within winning range.
George Malgrat, Pirates youth
full pitcher, will toss 'em in for
the BUGS, with Specs Carbonell
behind the plate. When Malgrat
is right the big guns of William
Gates, Armando Acevedo, Es-
mond Albury, Cyril Griffin, Jul
Illus Villareal, juice Barcelo and
Mario Pena do not boom so loud
but the big question remains that
no single y pitcher lasts long
enough to keep those guns quiet
all of the game.
Field Events Labor Day
Featured by distance 100-yard
dash and base circling contest on
Labor Day, which will be spon-
sored by Social Club Marti, the
doubleheader scheduled for Mon
day is expected to draw a large
crowd. Prizes, donated by local
merchants, will be presented to
the victors of the field events.
Key West Conchs will clash
with Blue Sox in the first game,
and Trojans VS.. Pirates in the
nightcap. All receipts Of the con-
tests will go towards defraying
cost of umpires' complete equip
ment purchased by Roy Hamlin.
Fans have been yelling for this
outfit for some time and the fans
should show their appreciation by
making the gate receipts large
enough to take care of this ex-
pense.
Sox Ready For Conchs
All fans know how well the
Blue Sox have been keeping up
the good baseball name of Key
West by defeating everything
that has been tossed up to them by
other cities during the past few
weeks and how they kept the
Conchs pretty well scared in
their last encounter when pitcher
Guillermo Diaz had the bombing
artillery of Gates and Company
swinging at empty air, Although
weak in hitting, the Sox have a
well-balanced fielding club and
may make the champs step up a
