Key West eliminates at least ,220
sub-standard dwellings. A num-
Der in excess of this requirement
has been RACED in recent years,
while the local authority be-

C0NCHS EDGE OUT
COAST GUARD FIVE
MATHEWS QUINTET VICTOR
IN PRELIMINARY JUNIOR
LEAGUE CONTEST
By BERKY
Basketball Sports Writer


In a very close and exciting
game last night, the High School
Conchs edged out the Coast Guard
quintet by score of 81 to 3d.
The game started with the
Guardsmen taking the lead, and
it wasn't until eight minutes of
play had passed that Roberts tied
the score. The quarter ended
with no other scoring.
In the second period, both
teams began to play a little
rough, and by the end of the
game it seemed as if both teams
were playing a hard game of
touch football instead of basket
ball.
This game makes the High
School Varsity the second best
team in Key West, due to the
fact that the Coast Guard will
not be able to play three-game
series.
The contest was close all the
way and only in the last few
seconds of play did Mathews
sink the basket that won the
game Mcmahon and Roberts
were high men for the victors,
while Stevens and Woodson ran
high for the losers.

LIONS PLAY HOMESTEAD
AT GYMNASIUM TONIGHT

At 800 o'clock tonight in the
High School Gym, the Island City
League champions, Lions Club
cagers, battle Rusty's Service
Station quintet from Homestead.
Both teams played in the Mi
ami Golden Ball Tournament,
but both were eliminated before
the semi-finalS. A good, fast con-
test will probably be the outcome
tonight.
In a ZOO o'clock opening game
two Junior League teams will
take the floor. The contest will
probably be between the Smith
Bullets" and Mathews "All
Stars, but it has not been an
nounced officially yet.

JUNIOR LEAGUE GAMES

In preliminary contest,
Mathews "All Stars, after plays
ing fifteen minutes overtime,
came through and edged out the
Menendez Dark Horses, 80 to
81. The game stayed close all
the way and both teams put up
a hard fight.
In three other Junior League
games played yesterday, the re-
suits are as follows: Nelson's
Sharks" whipped Smiths Bull
lets, % to %; McMahon's Baby

tet, 30 to "a; usldefeated Soldano

BOXERS ALL SET
FOR SCHEDULED
ROUNDS TONIGHT
BOXING SHOW POSTPONED
FROM WEDNESDAY WILL
BE STAGED TONIGHT AT
STRAND ARENA
BY OSCAR L. MILAN

Buddy speidel, U. S. Navy, and
Mario Perez, local flash, are all
set for their predicted bitter
battle to be fought at the Strand
Arena tonight. The pair will
headline the weekly fight show,
staged under the auspices of the
local National Guard unit.
Devoting the past two days to
relaxation, the principals an
inounce themselves to be in the
best of condition. Both fighters
are confident of victory. Perez,
the kid that goes around Duval
street telling the fans what he is
going to do and how it's going to
be done, will enter the ring a
favorite to win the decision on
points. I'M wager any amount
CT money that l will be the win
ner at the end of the tenth
round, said Young Perez when
interviewed in regards to the
fight, land furthermore, here is
$50 to back up my statement.
Speidel, who defeated Al Beau
hold, St. Louis battler, in his first
start as a preliminary boy and
knocked out Jimmy Gonzalez, of
Tampa, in his main bout appear
ance, is not talking nor making
any predictions as to the out
come of the bout, but is sure he
will be in there shooting gloves
at the end of the tenth round.
Buddy. slugger and a hard
hitter, will be up against a fast
moving and clever boxer but the
sailor battler fails to worry about
this. He has one thing in mind
and that is to keep boring in
until he nails his opponent a cou-
pie of times with that TINT right
hand punch.
Jack Hare, middleweight Navy
! fighter and stable mate of Bud
dy ,Speidel, is all set for the six
round main preliminary against
Kid Tarzan, pride of the Cuban
Club. This is going to be thrill
ing SUGGEST, whether it goes one
round or the limit of six.
Dead Shot" Pompo, a Tampa
boxer, will be at the ringside to
fling a challenge at the winner
of the Hare-Kid Tarzan fight.
| In another six-rounder Kid
Hancock will trade punches with
Young Lao of Havana, Cuba.
Hancock lost by hairline to Pr
| juan last week in a thrilling con-
test. Hancock will weigh about
118, his opponent 116.
A newcomer is Young Ogden,
a ball player, member of the Pi-
rates team, who is scheduled to
take a shot at Battling Zone
Round Brass. Ogden, a sturdy
ycungster, will be handicapped
by reach and will make up this
disadvantage in his weight
A scrap which may steal the
show is the Battling Geech-Kid
! Wilkinson winner-take-al1 affair.
Kid Wilkinson, realizing Czech is
| the favorite with the fans, will
ask the boxing commission to
have two judges and the referee
pass on the decision.
A four-rounder between Kid
Red and Battling Clown will
open the show at $50 o'clock.

master of character portrayal, Charles Laughton, in the role of Quasimodo the deformed prota- gonist of the tale.
 Backgrounded by a panorama of stunning regal pageantry and spec tacular splendor achieved by the use of massive settings and a record cast of $500 players, "The Hunch- back of Notre Dame" tells the poignant story of Quasimodo, the outcast bell-ringer of the cathe- dral, who falls in love with, h C beautiful gypsy Esmeralda. When she spurns the High Justice of Paris who covets her, he sends her to the gallows for crime which he himself conn mitt e d.
