NO OBJECTION AS TO
WHO WILL UMPIRE

We feel certain that there will
be no objection as to who will
officiate in the game between
the Trojans and Conchs next
week, as Manager Adams, as
we'll as Pilot Roy Hamlin, are of
the opinion that ball games are
won by scoring runs and not by
wasting time arguing with the
umpire.

George Acevedo, who won
quite a number of friends when

contest between the Pirates and
Conchs two weeks ago, will be
welcomed to officiate in any
game as far as the Monroe Coun-
ty Baseball League is concerned,
according to Manager Roy Ham
lin.

JASPER CAPITANO
AND CHELO CASTILLO

Will make the trip to Key West
with the team that will repre-
sent Tampa. Capitano is rated
one of the best amateur pitchers
on the West Coast and will prob
ably be manager Fabian's selec-
ton for the opening game against
the Conchs on Christmas Eve.
Meanwhile, just in case Bullet
Joe House is not in the best of
form, manager Hamlin is plan
ming on bringing down Lefty
!Covington.

THE BIG QUESTION

Will probably be the selecting
of an umpire. Not til at Key West
has no competent Jump. The truth
is that we have quite a good
many boys around this section
who can call strikes and balls as
accurate as the best in the state,
but the question is, pointing out
one who can suit the players,
managers, coaches, team captains
and the fans, So far, Charles
Vidal, as field umpire, and JIM
mie Griffin, behind the catcher,
have been performing in great
manner, so why not call on these
boys.
