queue of shocked onlookers, and
a man posed hfeleSSly on an am

the derelict who had solicited him

The caption on the picture read,

below the picture was all there

unconscious in an areaway near

IT WAS Just after ten am. when

Imperial just around the corner
from Charlton Street. He walked
the sun-stained sidewalks rapidly
and then. as number 90 came
closer, watchfully.
The letterboxeS. eight in all.

standard, each set opening with a
master key in the letter carriers

There we're seven, with one slot

box.
Jtgger peered through the holes
Stuiiously, angling his bulk so
that the gray daylight in the hail
touched the letterboxes. He saw
something white surface.
He struck a match, manipulated
with care, held its fame briefly.
A folded paper, like a note, lay at
the bottom of the box just below
eye level
There were sudden sounds vi
bgating in the building.
jigger started to leave, an in
aaVertent meeting with the police
would be a red-faced moment. But
tine scrap of paper, or note. was
hxed in his imagination.
AS he hesitated, the portly mail
man entered the hall, nodded a
pgeoccupied greeting, then set his
master key in the box panel on
the east wall
Igger plunged through his
pocke.S, in sham search.
Damned if can ever find that
KEY.
The mailman obliged with a
cummiserating look, and COM
nle1ced TO drop letters into in

into the end box and closed his
fingers on the scrap of paper. The
carrier looked questioningly.

caily. Misplaced the key and
couldn't get into the box"
The carrier banged the master
lid shut, then pointed 10 letters
engraved above. Write these
people for new key. Tell them
your number"
gersnodded gratefully, his
curiosity spilling over as he
watched the carrier complete his
chore at the west wall. He opened
the note covertly as the carrier
crossed the street to the odd
numbers. ~
II wasi a. 4ypewritten note that
read: S,Ws BACK LATER-M.
New sounds in the building

wondered uneasily.

Prescott looked at him coldly,

Jigger shrugged and saundered
off, aware of Prescott's eyes on
his back.

An old timer told me that he
thinks the best club ever to rep
resent Key West here or away
was the old Keeley's Sluggers of
1910 TO 1914, and l agree with
him but they had several out Of
town players who / think should
not count in the Key West All
Stars.
The team was composed OF:
Charlie Sorando, catcher,
Fred ]. Dion, pitcher-shortstop.
Panther Pent, first base.
Milo Leon, second base.
Charlie Brown, third base
pitcher.
Perez Corcho, third base pitch
er.
Cheche Mira, outfield.
b Medina, outfield.
Tomas, outfield.
This team played the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the Barracks and
Brooklyn had Casey Stengel in
center, Jack Daubert at first base,
Zaek Wheat in left, Miller at
short, Yingling, Wagner and Du-
buc in the box,
Sanchez held them scoreless for
eight frames but in the ninth,
Miller knocked one over the left
field fence for a homer to win
the ball game 10.
