DUGOUT DIGGNGS: Tonight
the same clubs 60 at it again with
the Conchs cunning for a chance
at evening up the series. Game
time. Is Sis.
Last nights contest was delayed
for some time when the lights
failed to function. Workers from
the City Electric system toiled for
2 hours to them in shape and one
would have thought Nap Reyes had
hit another homer judging from the
plaudits Of the crowd.
Charley Harig was back in this
usual left field position last night.
Good deal.
One of the Conchs more rabid
fans, Serge Milan, son of official
scorer Oscar MILAN is following the
fortunes Of the Key West team,
from q vantage point many miles
avay-on the Korean battlefront.
Although he has never seen the
local club in action. Oscar keeps
him up to date on the fortunes of
the club with box scores and clip
pings daily. We hope it won't be
TOO long before he is roofing for
them in person.
