Bill Gates Fells
Havana PLAYER

Bill Gates, popular Key West
er, took a prominent part in the
free-swinging fight which mark
ed yesterdays game between the
Havana Cubans and the Tourists
at Miami.
The peaccful-minded Gates,
who is a coach of the Tourists,
took a hand in the nroceedineS
only after he noticed Hiram Con-
zalez, Havana rightflelder, and
Francisco Quicutis, first baseman,
swinging bats as they entered the
fight.
Gates neatly knocked Quicutis
down and Ed Bass, Miami right
fielder, tangled with Gonzalez,
both Havana boys emerging some
what the worse for wear.
The fight started when Mike
Lastra, Havana second Daseman,
tossed a ball at Danny boy, Mi
ami ShortStop, as the teams chang
ed fields after the sixth inning.
The two players had had a mixup
at second in the fifth when Las
ira was put out to start a double

field but the MiamianS diverted
their attention to Quicutis and
Gonzalez when the latter came
on swinging the bats.

Republican .BIunders

sional hearing" seems to have blown up in
their faces, to the harm and embarrassment
of the good name of Congress. In Los Ange-
les an arrogant Republican committee law
yer achieved the impossible: he bullied wit
nesses at a labor hearing to such an extent
as to create public sympathy for the defend
ants in the hearing. He got into a disgrace
full fight with one labor lawyer. A moment
later he made the following contemplate re-
mark to an ex-mail carrier who was on the
stand.
He's got more brains in his feet than in
his head-that's why he's a letter carrier"
These two Congressional hearings have be-
come liabilities to the Republican "boom" of
recent years, and they reveal the essential
weakness of the party; it has been a mega
tive, critical, mud-slinging party for IL
years, and now these methods are begin
ming to displease the public.
1t is our fervent hope that the Congress
goes on with its present deluge of Congress
sional hearings" One out of every two, at
the very least, is going to blow up in the
face of the Republican party, because they
don't really know what they are doing, and
they lack a program other than criticism.
