ARLINGTON "BOOBOO"
CAMBRIDGE HERO OF 1915
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

1 also told you last week of the
Miami Giants winning the states
championship from the Sanford
team in 1915; and how the first two
games ended in ties, with Miami
winning the third by a score of 7
to 5.
In that third and deciding game
Arlington "Booboo" Cambridge
proved to be the hero of the entire
series with spectacular triple
play at second base. With the
score tied at 5-5, and Sanford at bat
with runners on first and second
the batter hit hot ground ball
through the pitching box and to the
third base side of second, the batter
third base side of second base.
Cambridge rushed over from his
normal position and made what
many observers described as an
impossible" stop of the ball by
reaching over to the opposite side
of the bag. At the crack of the bat,
the runners were off. But for some
strange reason, the second base run
ner after getting about midway be-
tween second and third bases, turn.
ed around and ran back to second.
Cambridge touched second base for
the force play on the first base
runner, touched the runner coming
back to second, and shot the ball to
Mobby Johnson at first base to put
out the batter going to first, thus
completing one of the most unusual
triple plays ever witnessed in this
city. The play was long the talk of
the town, Cambridge was the hero
and the giants were state champs.
In 1916 several new players Join.
ed the Giants all of whom did much
to make the team an even better
team for that season. Among the
new players were: Mckinley per.

Leon Tappin Winner
OF Cadillac At Pool

The eagerly awaited and anxious
ly anticipated presentation of the
brand new 1949 Cadillac convertible
in a special contest was held at the
pool Tuesday night. Leon Tappin,
of 1918 NV First Court was declar-
ed the winner with the mineral
1854.
In spite of the inclement weather
the largest crowd in the history Of
the Pools activities was present to
witness the climax to the long
awaited contest. The crowd was es-
timated roughly at far in excess of
10000 eager fans, all of whom came
with one hope in mind - the carry
ing home of the priced Cadillac.
In a somewhat phenomenal prece-
dent Mckenzie n. Moore, of 1918
NV 10th St, was declared the will
ner of both of the other prizes -
two cases of whiskey. Moore was
literally stunned to witness a feat
of that kind.
Tappin was declared winner of the
Cadillac on the second number to
be announced. The rule of the con.
test required that the winner must
be present. and the person with the
first number announced-99032 -
was not present.

p. Garner and Wallace also made big
leagues i'm later seasons.
During the season of 10 16, sever
al of the Giants became very popul-
lar with the members of the fairer
sex. The girls really went for such
handsome players as Samuel Clark,
who was nicked named fashion
plate, and was probably the best
dressed player on the team.
Other popular players with the
fair ladies were: Willie Duke"
Slater, who was known as 1.-The
sheik', Arthur "Scotty" Scott, Bris-
to Payne, Sr. and Arlington boo
boo Cambridge. Several players on
the team were also good "rugcutt-
ers" or as is popularity known today
"jitterbugs." At some times the
popularity of certain players with
the fair ladies became so obvious
that it caused little hard feelings
on the part of those who were not
so popular. But the boys were an
good sports and they took in that
manner, never letting it affect their
playing ball for the Giants.
In 1917, World War 1 came along,
more than three-fOurths of the reg.
ular team was caught i'm the first
draft. For IA while the team was
managed by BristO Payne Sr. and
Willie Duke" Slater, who them
selves were dras ed a little later.
The city did not have a team dur
ing the years of 1918 and 1919, be-
cause practically all of the available
men for the team were either in the
service or working on some war job.
After the war ended and the boys
came home. the team was again or
ganized, this time in the year Of
1920. Many of the old players re-
turned to the fold and several new
ones were also added OF the roster.
Next week, I'll tell you about the
new Miami Giants of 1890, and the
games played by them at park
in the White section of the city,
known as Tatum Park. which was
located at the spot now occupied by
the present Miami Field, just next
to Miami's famed Orange Bowl.
This marked the first time that Ne
grOes played on a White park In
