team to five hits, and whitfield six batters.
He was never in danger after the first
inning, when Boston punched two sin
giles after a walk for their solitary tally.
Joel spanked the attack with two hits
for three times at bat.
DR.. Sanders, the old Brooklyn Royal
Giants Star, was in top notch form
slashing out three consecutive hard hit
doubles and making five beautiful
catches, two of them barehanded with
his back to the plate. Louis Cam
bridge, the old Baltimore Black Sox
Ace, was the fun maker of the game
with his constant line of chatter that
caused many laughs from the fans. His
contribution was five hits out of five
trips, one home run, two triples and
two singles; his back-handed stops of
throws from the infeld were marvellous
to see.
Arnold Benjamin's base running was
the feature of the game. His master
piece of running between third and
home plate had the crowd in stitches.
The humorous incident of the game
occurred in the seventh inning, when
Cambridge had the bases loaded, and
Hunter on second stole third, only to
find the base occupied. After the boys
finished throwing the ball around, the
man on third had scored, the man on
first had reached second, and the man
who stole third was retired because he

ROtdTi9nS Expect Heavy
Travel Here To Havana
DELEGATES TO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IN
JUNE WILL COME THROUGH CITY; LOCAL
CLUB NOT SOLICITED FOR HELP

Hundreds of Rotarians will
pass through Key West next June
to and from the 31st annual con-
vention of Rotary international
at Havana, but the movement
will not cause any great excite
ment and will not put any strain
on the Key West members of the
great civic organization.
The problem of transporting
the Rotarians, their families and
friends to Havana for the con-
vention June 1914, has not been
forced upon the local members
of the Rotary club-it has been
assumed by corps of experts
identified with Rotary Inter-
national Headquarters at Chi
cago.
Head of this experienced con-
vention corps is Philip c. Love-
joy, first assistant secretary of
Rotary International, who makes
business of looking afer the
transportation, housing, food and
other needs of around 10000 per-
sons who annually attend the
convention.
Mr.. Lovejoy was here over the
weekend consulting with Will
liam v. Little, president of Key
West Rotary club, as a pre-
liminary step in routing many of
the international delegates and
guests through Key West to the
Cuban capital. In his trip from
Miami, Mr. Lovejoy was accom-
panied by Thomas w. Lockett,
Miami, assistant general man.
ager, agent for the Seaboard
railway, who is helping with
some of the transportation plans.
In all probability Seaboard as
well as the Florida East Coast
railroad will be brought into an
arrangement whereby many of
the RotarianS and their relatives
and friends will be transported
from other sections of the coun-
try by rail to Miami, by Florida

Motor Lines bus to Key West
and by boat to Havana.
This is one of the suggested
routes stressed in a Rotary con-
vention bulletin distributed to
more than 100000 Rotarians. On
this bulletin the members of the
wideflung organization have been
requested to indicate their pref
Ferences as to routing to Havana.
How many will come by way of
Key West, therefore, depends up
on the result of this poll.
Although Mr.. Lovejoy made no
positive statements to that eff
feet, there is a possibility Rotary
international may arrange for
use of shuffleship between Key
West and Havana-if enough of
the Rotarians in other sections
express their intention of coming
by this route.
The international assistant sec
retary agreed it would be a good
idea to provide an alternative
route to Havana in event of labor
difficulties on the P. & o. lines.
1t will be recalled that last year
the Key West-Havana service
was suspended several weeks by
reason of a labor dispute.
|. Mr.. Lovejoy said he would ad-
wise against use of trailers on
Overseas highway. He said that
his own trailer and truck got
stuck in the middle of one of the
wooden bridges between Key
West and Big Pine Key when
they were unable to pass one
another.
''We appreciate the offer of the
Key West Rotarians to help us in
the convention arrangements, but
it is not believed it will be neces-
isary for us to accept the generous
Offer, Mr.. Lovejoy said. car
ranging such matters is our busi-
ness, a service that is paid by

the arrangements"
