coNcHs WIN THRILLER

Key West Conchs won a 10
game from the Pirates at Trumbo
Field yesterday afternoon in a
regular league game to throw the
circuit in a three-way tie.
Hooking up in as sweet a pitch
ers' battle as ever witnessed in
any baseball game, Joe Casa, the
Conchs' veteran hurler, just back
from a long rest, bested his
youthful opponent, Idilio Salin-
ero, in a contest that was packed
with thrills, arguments and ex-
citing spectacular plays.
A lucky break in the fourth
inning gave the Conchs a run
that proved to be enough to win.
1t went this way: Villareal drew
base on balls and advanced to
second base on Armando Ace.
vedo's sacrifice bunt Cyril Grit
fin went out on strikes. Villareai
attempted to steal third on Grit
fins third strike and was de-
clared safe when field umpire
Jimmie Griffin said the runner
was interferred with by short
stopman Fidel Lopez. A long ar
gument by the BUGS delayed the
game fifteen minutes, but the
Jump refused to change his deci-
sion and the Conchs' runner re-
manned at third. Esmond Albury
sent a sharp line single to left
center and 'Do-Do" crossed the
pan with what proved to be the
deciding run of the contest.
/ Joe Casa, although limiting the
Pirates to three well-scattered
hits, found himself in several hot
spots but managed to creep out
of them.

no outs but each time the fol-
lowing batters failed to come

Trojans Won Saturday Conchs
Yesterday; Triple League Tie

Earl Adams Troians, with their
iron-arm pitcher, Harry Swiftly
Wickers, on the mound, socked
II hits off two Sox twirlers to
defeat Caraballo's Blue Sox in a
regular league game at Trufnbo
Field Saturday afternoon. Con-
test was benefit for the Key
West School Junior Patrol and
gross. receipts were given to the
Organization.
SWickers, pitching his best
game this season, let down the
hard-hitting Sox aggregation
with two lone safeties. A double
by Oscar Molina in the first in
ming and a sharp single off How
ard Gates bat in the third stanza
accounted for Caraballo's gangs
two safe hits. ''' ''
Neither of the two runs scored
by the losing team were earned.
The tallies were recorded as a re-
suit of two attempted double
plays by William Gates and John
Navarro, John erring on both
attempts.
Only three of the Trojan's six
markers were earned. They were
scored on pitcher Molina in the
seventh and eighth rounds on five
consecutive hits, including a dou-
BILE by Domenech. No earned
runs were recorded against Diaz,
Sex starting pitcher.
Tony. Alonzo, Clayton Sterling,
and Anthony Kelly of the Tro-
jams fattened their batting aver
ages, while Joe Dizzy" Garcia
and Gabriel Garcia, leading Sox
hitters, were dropped when they
went hitless. William Gates also
lost a few points when he poled
but one safely in five tries.

Dinner Match Thursday

The Great Curry Harris, presi-
dent of Key West Golf Club, has
decreed a mighty decree-in fact,
he has issued Bull to the effect
that there MUST be a dinner
match next Thursday afternoon.
1t seems that the Great Curry has
grown pallid around the gills and
is otherwise showing signs OF
distress due to a steady diet
of eating at home. About every
so often he finds it necessary to
get out where he can throw back
his head and howl, where he can
enjoy the feast of reason, the flow
of soul, the music, the argu-
ments, the backbitings, the
anguished howls of the beaten
and the joyous growing of the
victors-in other words, Curry
just has TO take in a golf dinner
occasionally in order to remain
in good health. Then, too, he
enjoys the fact that a person who
attends the dinner is OK, while
the fellow who is absent really
gets talked about.

Possibly our worthy president
is merely tired of paying for his
own food and figures that it is
about time that he got a free

to the tournament committee
that he wanted an easy match.
He didn't come right out and say
that he wanted a set-up, but his
hints were SO broad that there
was no r1istaking the fact that
he was honing to eat at the ex-
pense of someone else. A worthy

The Drama

DUFF hated her task. Her open,
- fortnight n nature rebelled
against what amounted to spying
upon Iris. But Tim, she reminded
herself again and again, had to be
saved from this second and far
more dangerous plot.
"And after I've yanked him out
or her clutches, he can sink or
swim, lose his way or keep to the
straight and narrow path" said
Miss Carroll with a fine scram-
bling metaphor. Hell hate me
even more than he does now if he
knows I've snatched him from the
burning. Well, that's all right too.
Just so ! spring the trap before it
closes on him. it doesn't matter
about me-" She rather spoiled the
beautifully altruistic sentiment she
was trying to express by a sigh
that seemed to rise from her small
custom-made brogues.
She had known Iris from the
first to be almost pitiably lacking
IN brains, entirely lacking in sub
tlety. She was like a movie extra
who went through her small part
with conscientious accuracy. For
two days she was very much the
engaged girl, staying close to the
hotel save when she appeared radi-
ant and shylv happy in Tins car.

tween an international spy and a
Jealous schoolgirl.
But the third morning brought
important results. Tins car was
parked near the hotel when Buff
arrived. Evidently he had left it
there for Iris to use. About ten she
came out, wearing the new fur
coat which had made its appear
ance in the last few days, and
headed for Denver. Buff trailed
her excitedly.
Iris drove in character, the
younger girl thought: putting on
little spurts of speed exactly at the
wrong time. slowing down in the
midst of busy traffic, making use
of hand signals which would have
puzzled the most expert motorist:
but eventually she drew up in
front Of a small hotel in the city,
miraculously finding a parking
place. :
Buff was not so fortunate. By
the time she had disposed of her
car and entered the lobby, Iris
was nowhere to be seen. There
was nothing for it but to wait for
her. Buff selected an inconspicuous
spot behind a clump of dusty
palms and kept one eye on her
watch. the other on the elevator.
She suspected her quarry was in
a parlor on the mezzanine. but felt

90 Miles Per Hour

A proposal has been given the leg
islature to fix ty-mile-per-hour
speed i;sait for motor vehicles in
North Carolina. If enacted, it will
be just another statute to add bulk
to the legal tones that find peace
full repose in law offices over the
State, for there is no likelihood of
this being enforced any better than
the present 45-mile limit is.
But the joker lies in the fact that
the new bill would not repeal the
45-mile limit, so that if an accident
occurred while a car was travelling
at a greater speed than that the
:: driver could be charged with reck-
less driving. In other words, the
State would legalize a given maxi
mum speed and then penalize a
motoriSt still within the law if he
had serious wreck.
This may be logic, but if so it is
too deep for us. 1t goes to show
however, the type of some legisla-
ton that is being put on our statutes,
OF is liable to be. What does make
sense is that until and unless we
are prepared or willing to enforce
the lower speed limit, there is no
reasonable ground for complicating
matters beyond their present state OF
uncertainty and uselessness. Such
things as this do not make for great
er safety on our highways nor more
respect for our traffic laws.
The average motorist goes as fast
as he likes and is seldom ever called
! to account for his recklessness. What
reason is there to suppose he would
be under any modification of the
speed laws?

It Is Their Party

We trust that all and sundry of
the States dignified solons and their
attaches enjoyed their junket to
Charlotte today. At least they can
say they sat officially in the legis-

any in the history of our grand and

General Assembly out of Raleigh.
But not the last. On Saturday
weekend soon they are to have
another outing, this one down to

And there may be other similar fes-
tivities before the parliament ends
its august deliberations.

ingly, upon whether an invitation
is extended, accompanied by the as
surance of free fare and all expenses
TO and from.
Withal, there can hardly be seri-
Gus objection to the hilarities if the
boys desire the experience. It is
their party. They have plenty of
time and these trips out of town cost
the State not penny. For aught
we know, this time-out for recrea-
ton neither speeds nor delays the
serious business of making laws.
Moreover, it affords some of them
the chance of lifetime to see their
State. And that's just fine. They
and all of us ought to know more

OTHERS VIEWS
FROM MIR. WRIGHT
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In the papers last week it was my
great pleasure to read Of the uprls-
ing of the good people of Alamance
county against the criminal element
there. 1t does seem every county
would follow suit and do something
about the lawlesSness in this state
and nation.
1t is indeed a sad commentary on
the accomplishments OF the Republl-
can and Democratic parties that have
ruled our country tor more than
eighty years when good people have
to resort to banding themselves to-
gether as did our heather forebearerS
IN the late stone age, to protect them
selves and their property from those
who have no respect for law and
order. 1t seems to me, both old par
ties should be renovated in the fire
and birthstone of the neither world,
and that good men and women
should think more about the manage
ment OF their government and less
about parties.
Concerning that read on. One of
the chief machinists of the present
Democratic state machine is Major
L. P. McLendOn. He told the Young
democrats last week their party
must mend it's ways or Republican
governor would be elected next time.
Just why did the Major say Repup-
mean governor? Why did he not say
the people would turn to some other
leadership? What he said was an IN
suit to the voters of the state, for
ms meaning was they were to igno-
rant to do anything but vote for one
of the old parties. The Major was
speaking for tweedledee, but if the
people wished change they coulu
