CHAMPIONSHIP OF
BASEBALL WILL BE
DECIDED NDAY
FIRST AND SECOND PLACE
SERIES ENDS TOMORROW;
CHANGES IN LINEUPS WILL
BE NOTED

First and second place series of
the Monroe County Baseball
League will end tomorrow at
Trumbo Field. Who will win the
league championship? Maybe the
Seafood Grill and Blue Sox will
be the victors. Why? Well, you
see, there will be some changes
in the lineups of the Conchs and
Pirates tomorrow as viii be npted
IN the game.
r. Clayton Sterling, husky first
baseman and home-run hitter of
the GrillS outfit, will be seen in
the outfield in Key West Conch
uniform and SO will Casa, the
former speedball twirler of the
Pirates crew. Joe House, as he
is formerly known, obtained his
release several days ago, and i'm
.mediately signed up with Ham
Inns squad
BUGS made an unwise exchange
in a trade of Fidel Lopez, fast
sharpshooting shortstop, for Peter
Castro, an infielder of the Blue
Sox. Although the club strength
ened its pitching staff with the
addition of Puby (Spcs) Car
bonell, it is considered that the
team may be weakened in the in
field with it's star shortstop out
of the game.
If we have the dope right,
Specs Carbonell, former Conch
hurler, will be on the hill for the
Pirates tomorrow and Peter Cas-
tro of the Blue Sox will play
shortstop, and for the Key West
crew there will be Sterling and
possibly Casa in the outfield.
Therefore, should any of .t9e
aforementioned players do some
outstanding playing and hitting
which may cause their team to
win, then the credit may well be
given to the team to which they
formerly belonged. That is the
reason we say Seafood Grill or
Blue SoX may win the firSt-place
championship series between Key
West Conchs and Roadside Pr
rates.
1t is well seen that the cham
pionship series will be finished
with both clubs using combina-
ton of players from other teams.
Robert Bethel is slated to pitch
for the Conchs' outfit.
AS usual, the Seafood Grill and
Blue Sox, who are playing sec
ond-place series. will cross bats
in the first game scheduled to
start at 100. Key West and Pr
rates will square off in the night
cap of the doubleheader
The series for first and second
places is even, each team having
won and lost two games. Tomor-
rows twin bill will decide the
championship of both positions.
Lame DobbS, Ramon Rivas, En-
rique Esqunialdo, Jr., Jack Mat
hews and Manuel Varela, COM
prising the Monroe County Base
ball Commissioners, will be on
hand to settle any and all ques-
tons that may arise during the
contests.
