MEETS PIRATES
in SHORT SERIES
MANAGER DIAz OF WEST
COAST CLUB PROMISES TO
HAVE STRONG OUTFIT ron
CONTEST HERE
BY PEDRO AcUILAR

Manager Ray Bush of the Pi-
rates, third place team of the
Monroe County Baseball League,
has made arrangements for Mana
ger Diaz to bring his reyamped
Ft. Myers club to Key West for
games on September 8 and 4
Labor Day..
Mgr. Diaz promises to have a
strong enough club here for the
series that would be able to beat
Key West Conchs or he will not
want "a penny for his efforts.
The west coast city pilot claims
he will contract three outstand-
ing hurlers for the contests.
Young has already pitched here
and has shown his stuff in fan
ming IL batters. He should have
won his game easily but errors
by his teammates were his down
fall. Maddox, who has won IL
games this season and lost but
two-and both of them to Blue
Sox-will attempt to get sweet
revenge against the Bucs. The
new hurler will be Bill Tippens,
who has been hurting all year
with the Sebring club. Cook will
be the catcher.
Mgr. Diaz says Roy Hamlin and
his Conchs will have to take no
tice when his team trots out on
the field September 8 in the first
game.
Ray Bush claims he will have
his full club, with a few addi-
tons, on the field to keep the
honors in old Cayo Hueso.
