Island City League Starts
Sunday; Blue Sox and New
Teams Are in 4-Club Loon

A new city baseball loop will
get under way Sunday when
four clubs, comprising the Island
City Baseball League, will play
a doubleheader Sunday at NUM-
cipal Stadium.
In the first game, starting at
lis p. M, the Asdevron nine of
Boca Chta will play the newly
formed Independents. At 3:l5
p. M, the Blue Sox will play
the new San Carlos club.
Little is known of the person
mel of any Of the, five clubs as
even the Blue Sox will have
many new faces. Such veterans
as Manager Manolo Acevedo,
Guillermo Diaz, Chief Dukes
and Fidel Lopez will probably
be back in their Sox uniforms,
however.
|: Rumor has it that the San
/. Carlos team will comprise a
a number of former Pirate play
ers not playing with the semi
pro Key West Conchs. Among
these are said to be Orlando
Rodriguez, catcher; China Her
nandez, first; Bob Santana on
second and Jimy Albury on third.
Dark-horse of the league are the
Independents, comprising many of
the younger players in town and
few members of the Key West
High School senior class. These
include Adolph Lastres, pitcher;
Joe Tleitas, catching; Oscar
Cruz on first; Claude Valdez,
second, and John Solomon,
third.
Asdevron is likely to put a
strong team on the field against
the three civilian mines.
/ A league meeting will be
held Wednesday at 8 p. m, in
the City Hall. All clubs are to
be represented and rules and
regulations will be drawn up for
operation Of the league. '.

BY FRANK

WASHINGTON, Aug. % U.D =
President Truman, still a polli-
wog. becomes a shellback next
month, and navy sources prom
ised tonight he will get the full
treatment.
A polliwog is anybody who has
never crossed the equator aboard
ship, particularly a navy ship. A
shellback is a former polllwog
who. upon crossing the equator,
has been called to stand trial be-
fore the throne of King Neptune
and has met the test.
Mr.. Truman will cross the equa-
tor by air on his trip to Brazil
next month, but on the return
journey he will be aboard the Bat
tleship Missouri.
And on this awesome occasion,
old salts among the Missouri's
sailors can be expected to give
their commander-in-chief what is
known as the royal works.
Mr.. Truman, a man known to
perpetrate a gag himself from
time to time, probably would be
greatly disappointed if he should
be sighted in the traditional rites

Father OF IS Wins
Again; No Complaint

BELL GARDENS, CAL, Aug. %
Angeles officials today
found a legal loophole that saved
Joseph ]. Bray, 81, from county
prosecution for clipping with a
baby sitter, but how to get his
wife and 10 children off relief was
a more vexing problem.
Mrs. Gladys Bray, living with
10 of her 10 children in a trailer,
was still IN relief rolls to the tune
of $152.69 per month, and public
assistance authorities appeared
stymied in a plan to send them
out Of California.
The husband, Bray, was held in
Phoenix. Ariz., along with the
baby sitter, chubby Betty 10 Rob-
erts. But the sheriff's office dis
carded plans to return him here
on a possible statutory charge
when Golden, Colo, authorities
disclosed Betty 10 was 18 instead
of 16 years, as first reported.
Los Angeles officials immediate
ly showed Bray's case over to the
FBI for possible Mann Act inves-
tigation, and then considered
ways of shifting the family from
relief rolls.
It looked, however, as though
the family was without a state.
They had been here for 16 months,
getting about 81, 500 in relief, and
apparently lost their residence
status in Arizona, where they

A germ of hope that the mid

Southern California music lovers
