across the seas.
AXis-power comments on the
sensational move were being
withheld for the present, al
though Italy has sent an inform
al warning to the United States,

that the action, if fulfilled, would
be considered as "an act of

COMMITTEE WILL
ASK FIELD WORK
TWO MANAGERS APPOINTED
LAST NIGHT TO SEEK
IMPROVEMENT

Regular meeting of the Island
City Baseball League was held
last night in council chambers al
City Hall
President Roy Hamlin opened
the session and dispensed with
regular routine matters.
Discussion of improvement OF
Navy Field resulted in the ap-
pointment of a committee Of two
to contact Commissioner Braxton
Warren in an effort to effect i'm
provement of the grounds. Specif-
ically, the committee, composed
of Managers Aure';o Lastres and
w. E. Lowe, will seek use of
equipment and convict labor to
NOW the grass in the outfield
and clear the infield of loose
mari and rocks.
An old baseball rule, which
has not been in effect in Key
West in recent years, must be
observed in the future, it was de-
cided last night.
The rule pertains to making
duplicate copies of team line
ups. one to be given the Off
cial scorekeeper and the other
10 the umpire in chief. This
rule will be strictly enforced.
Managers must notify tbe
umpire-in-chief and score
keeper of any changes to
made during the playing of
games.
There will be no meeting of the
league next week. However,
should any important matter,
such as the protesting of a game.
arise in the meantime, the sigma
lures of four managers on a pc
tition will give the president
power to call session to act on
the matter.

and the New York Yankees, also
idle yesterday, are only three
points out of first place. Just
four games separate the Indians
from the fourth-place Bosox.
Robert Moses Grove was the
hero of the Red Sox' overtime
triumph against the Bengals. He
got off to a Shaky start when
Greenberg poled his Both homer
of the year with two men on
base in the first inning, but set
tied from then on. Rudy York,
whose circuit cloutS in the pre-
viouS two games brought victory
to the Tigers, secured. only one
safe blow against Grove in seven
at the plate. In his
last two tries in the batter's box,
York went down swinging. De-
troit'S first-sacker bungled three
chances to win the contest as old
Lefty proved his master.
Washington Senators executed
the second triple play of the sea-
son in the American League.
Combined with Chase'S' six-hit
pitching and a three-bagger in
the fifth, the Mats overcame the
Chicago White Sox. So.
Pittsburgh Pirates and Phila-
delphia Phillies were the only
teams able to play yesterday in
the senior league. BUGS took
both ends of twin bill, 11-3 and
Ill. Pills lone marker in the
afterpiece was a homer by Lit
whiler in the sixth. Pirates also
secured a circuit clout in the
sixth inning of the nightcap. Van
Robays' four-bagger in the open
er with two men on base helped
the BUGS to their overwhelming
first-game victory.

Championship series between
the top teams in the National and
American Softball Leagues will
get under way tonight at Bay
view Park, beginning at 800
o'clock. Decision to this effect
was reached at softball meet
ing of the two circuits held in
council chambers at City Hall last
night.
The motion to cancel all other
remaining regular or postponed
games in order that the series
may start Immediately was made
by Manager Roy Hamlin, of the
Peppers Plumbers, and seconded
by Manager Aurelio Lastres, of
the Key West Conchs.
Put to a vote, four managers
were in favor and one against.
The lone may" was registered by
Manager Theodore Albury, of the
Sawyer's BARRIERS.
Monday night, Plumbers and
BARRIERS, only two teams of the
upper league, met in what proved
to be the deciding game of the
secOnd-half. Pipe-FitterS won,
IA, giving them a lead Of four
contests with only two regular
scheduled games remaining to be
played. The question of three
postponed affairs was preached
at the game, resulting in much
misunderstanding. The matter of
playing the games was discussed
last night but no motion to use
them was put before the meet
ing.
Question of postponed games in
the American League that would
have had an effect on the out
come of the race was settled
when it was brought out that
Merchants, who wanted to play
the remaining and postponed con-
tests, used ineligible players in
four tits they won. As this was
against the rules of the league,
the games must be registered in
the Merits loss column, thus elm
mating any chance of overtaking
the COnchS, who were auto
matically declared champs of the
circuit.
Hamlin motioned that the
leagues furnish balls for the title
series. 1t was so agreed.
Five games are scheduled for
the Conchs and Plumbers, the
first tonight. Team winning
three of the contests will gain
title of leading softball club of
the city.
Merchants and NavSta, second
and third teams, respectively, of
the American League, will play
second games on the nights of
the championship series as an
added attraction. Agreement be-
tween the teams calls for con-
tests tonight, Friday and Monday
nights. and, if needed, WedneS-
day and Friday nights of next
week.
