;. SPORTS -:
From The
Press Box
BY OSCAR MILAN

Hell never do it" was the
thought going through the minds
of at least seventy five percent of
Key West Baseball fans and en-
thusiasts, when the news got
around two weeks ago that Louis
Carboneu (the 60 getter) true
sports loving man and truly a
"Conch" if there is one in Key
West, was behind the move of hav-
ing this city represented in the
Florida International League. The
other twenty five percent which in
cludeS this column, knowing Louie
to be a never say die "Conch, "
had the feeling that he would sue
coed as he did and to demonstrate
the approval of his action and sire
nous work the turn out to the open
ing game was proof and the old
boy was busy shaking congratulate
ing hands on I'll parts of the sta
dunn with all sorts of fanatic and
enthusiastic people. This column
greatly appreciates the never say
die spirit of Louie" and it extends
its best wishes for a successful
season and know that he will have
the backing of his fellow citizens
and baseball fans of this city.
When Russell Sails read the ac-
count Of Fridays game on two Mi
ami papers and the Key West CT
tiZen guess he didn't know whether
he did the catching for the Key
West ConchS or some one by a
name similar to his own. One Mi
ami paper spelled his name Say
les" and another one named Sales
as the catcher. Our box score
showed the name Sails. So just be-
fore Saturdays game got under
I way this column made it point
to get it straight from its owner
who corrected us all with his full
name Russell Sails.
BY the way did you know that
when this column visited the dug
out of the Key West ConchS to get
the first name of all its players
they gave them in Spanish. For
instance third baseman Williams
said his name was Pedro" and
left fielder Harig called himself
'Pancho" his name by the way
is Chuck and Williams is Pete.
Wonder if the fact that this is
about fifty percent spanish speak
ing town had any bearing on this.
There was no doubt about il.
When Key Westers learned that the
Conchs own George witt" Vidal
was to play first base Friday and
Saturday night, practically the
whole bleacher sections on the
first base line were occupied by
fans from "El Barrio De Los Pi-
nos" the neighborhood where the
