are anxious to see what we car
do in Key West.
Mr. Lowe proudly claims thai
the present Pandora team is the
strongest assigned to the cutter in
the past few years. Recent addi-
tions to the personnel have been
productive of a number of ex-
cellent players. Eve are ready to
meet any competition, the ath-
letic director declared
The Coast Guardsmen shellack-
ed the Jacksonville all-stars 80
in the first game of the series but
dropped the other two contests
when the strongest players of the
city was massed on the upstaters
club for revenge. One of the

still young and should improve

The Pandora nine was a mem
Der of the disbanded Island City
Baseball League. When the ship
left port the league was still ac-
tive. Arrangements were made
at that time to revise the sched-
ule 50 that the Coast Guard club
would play sufficient number of
games upon its return to equal
the number engaged in by other
members of the circuit. Mr..
Lowe expressed regret upon
learning the present status of
baseball in Key West. He hopes
enough interest can be aroused to
schedule games for his team.
Managers or players of teams
are requested to contact Mr..
Lowe if they wish to play the
Pandora nine. He may be reach

LOUIS MAY NOT

OF course, Louis may not fight
Conn in June according to the
eontracO. Conn is signed to bat
tie with the champion and Louis
must 'defend his crown several
times in series of '"build-up"
fights before taking on Conn next
June. He may get fooled by one
of these "pushovers"--but, of
course we hardly think so. An
upset of that kind would rival

ing of Max Schmelirg way back
when--when there was plenty of
capabale competition for the
heavyweight crown.
