Chamber OF Comm.
Digs Up Interesting
Item on St. Croix

The publicity Committee of the
st. CroiX Chamber of Commerce
is credited in the latest News
Letter" of furnishing the follow
ing article entitled I'm 1880 The
Dutch Enjoyed Santa Cruz Rum"
taken from the american Home
Magazine" under the heading
Strange Case of the Monkey
Spoon in which reference is
made to the use of Santa Cruz
Rum. 1t follows:
when the worthy burgher was
ready TO ribs morning meal, he
went to the old sideboard and
took his morning tonic of Santa
Cruz Rum, following it with a
pinch of salt This morning
dram was to serve only as an APP
petizer, and must be a small one
hence the use of the monkey lepel
(monkey spoon) or LIQUOR spoon
with it's shallow bowl"
This is of unusual interest be-
cause of the prestige that St.
ICroix Rum has held during these
many centuries, the Committee
said.

Jackie Jensen drove n of
Wight's fast balls away over the
right field wall in the third inning
with a mate on board for his first
homer this year. Both Coleman
and Dom Di Maggie batted .667 in
this game. Raschi struck out six
batters, including big Walt Dropo.
Joe Di Mag made the fielding
gem Of the day, a unique running
catch, which he converted into
a double play. Booston had six
hits.
BROOKLYN: The 1850 champs
lived up to their name as they de-
feated the Dodgers, 81; Robin
Roberts went all the way to net
his first victory. Carl Erksine was
the loser. Homers were hit by
Mike Goliat, Del Ennis and Jackie

The meeting which closed Sat-

Pimlico's Board of Governors
has taken a drastic step in dis
continuing all 6-furlong races at

ern racing events at three-quar-
ters of a mile fill at least half of

Maryland Jockey Club. 5-furlong
events are to be substituted. A
few more changes of this kind and
the oldtime quarter" horses could
start moving east.
Dave Woods, Pimlico's publicity
director, said the board took ac-
ton after trainers complained of
too many jams at the "elbow'
formed where the chute joins the
main track at the start of 6-fur-
long races. There was too much
humping and too many minor in
juries, such as cut ankles, as the
field made the slight turn onto
the track.
Woods said he didn't think fans
would mind shorter races, if they
picked the right horses.
