Editor. The Citizen:
Il was very kind of someone
10 honor the writer as being ia
Their Of the idea" in your article
On the Police Athletic League in
Yesterdays Citizen. However,
this credit does not belong to me.
I am heartily in favor of the
plan and will help in any way
I can TO make it a reality. But
Police Chief Louis Eisner is re-
sponsible for the plan and should
have proper credit. His expert
ence with the PALS of the Police
Department, New York City, is of
great value to Key West, and we
should make full use Of it.
The Recreation Department
has done a good job, but because
they did not have sufficient force
Of leaders, the major part of their
work has been done at the park.
We need smaller groups Of clubs
scattered throughout the city, and
this is one of the strong points Of
the PAL plan.
However, this plan will never
be successful unless and until
Chief Eisner has the full support
OF parents and of the boys and
gmls themselves. Some other eff
forts in their behalf have failed
because the boys ans, girls did not
cooperate. TX
Here is a, wefksblS practical
plan that is needed. Let us all
get back of it and help put it to
work al once.

KILLING GOLDEN GOOSE"

Editor. The Citizen:
The recent Zoning argument at
the last session of the City Com
mission left a feeling of futility
i, my mind that from now on it
looks like it is useless for anyone
else to ask for a beggar's mite
Of justice. Our slogan should be:
This. the City Topsy-Turvy' and
zone il again.
ply sole purpose had been to
argue the fact that City Manager
Dave King has asked for a sug-
gestion as to how any item could
be pared from the budget The
Key West Citizen, with editorials
and news stories and comments
from our public officials, has kept
our public well informed as to
the process of government,
I now ask the city manager
how we, the taxpayers, can have
the gall TO ask The Citizen to for
Get that the City of Key West
ogges The Citizen thousands of
dollars for past due advertising
and how much was in the budget
10 pay The Citizen?
Has the city manager explain
ed to the taxpayer why we must
have twelve hundred dollars in
the budget for radio when the
public has not been informed as
10 exactly how that fund will be
spent and why it should be spent
IN the first place when we owe
other people money and the bud
get IS being increased?
The local radio station is in
deed an asset to Key West and
II IS to the credit of the COM
munity that one of its leading
citizens had the foresight and
courage 70 enibafk on this prof.
Get Il is true- that the station
viii render en- Understandable
service TO Key West and has been
DING so, and nay argument is not
aBsinst the station, but against
p fact money has been appro-
pHated for this purpose when an
oEher agency is cast aside and no
money appropriated for them.
would argue in behalf of the ra-
do station if the conditions were
reversed.
If there is any official of the
City of Key West who feels that
he wants TO run in the next cleo
ton and wants 10 keep himself
before the public, well he should
do so al his own expense and not
the taxpayers. Let's be fair
about this thing and pay our Just
debts inst before me splurge on
advertising Key West. l refer
the city manager to the rent con-
troll office and let him ask how
those officials are working I'M
ceasingly TO alleviate conditions
here-and with housing almost
impossible we need twelve hun
dred dollars TO advertise Key
West and bring people here to
1--we God knows where. If we
have any dollars, let's pay our
past bills first.
Maybe we have a goose who
lays golden eggs for the treas
ury and we viii have no more
worries.

POSITION CHANGERS



NEW YORK. - Ernest Joseph
Lanigan, curator of the baseball
museum at Cooperstown, N. Y,
has been engaged in compiling
the records and routiHg out the
first game box scores for newly
elected members of basebalrs
Hall of Fame. One of his more
important discoveries was that a
lot of them didn't even know
their own talents when they
broke into the big leagues. They
were ball players, but they didn't
know what position they could
play best.
The same can be said about
a LOT of better than fair play
ers who haven't earned places
among the baseball immortals.
This may prove either that a
good player is good at almost
any position or that big league
coaches are somewhat smarter
than young players Just start
ing out in the game.
For instance, s'Orator Jim
O'Rourke, the man who made the
first basehit of the National
Leagues first season back in 1876,
thought he was a. shortstop when
he first broke into baseball, but
he made his reputation as a
catcher and an outfielder. Jim
O,Rourke, as a matter of fact, was
one of those old-time Iron Men
who would try his hand at any
position. Before he left the Ma
tional League, Jim did everything
but pitch. He may have tried
that, too, but the records don't
show it.
Roger Bresnahan, the Duke
of Tralee" who was known as
one of baseball's greatest catch
ers and an innovator of such
things as shin guards and bat
ting helmets, was a pitcher when
he played his first National
League game for Washington in
1897. He pitched a six-hit, 30
shutout against st. Louis in his
debut, but when he went to Bal
timore a couple of years later, It
was as catcher.
The fact that Wilbert Rob-
inson. then the Orioles leading
catcher. didn't like TO work
during the morning practice
may have had something to do
with Bresnahan's development.
Roger was saddled with most
Of those early chores. A couple

EXPENSIVE GOLF BALI

SALT LAKE CITY. -(AP)-
Good golf balls are expensive
enough any time, but how about
it when one costs $3.50? Harold
West, portly professional from
Portland, Ore, found the lack of
a ball cost him that much in the
Utah Open. On the sixth of the
next to last round, his bali dis
appeared from the spot where
he and the caddy had it marked.
This cost him two strokes and
he wound up 10th among the
pros, collecting SITS. Without the
two-shot penalty, he would have
tied for eighth place and pock-
eted $212.50.
