The fans are in for a treat next
Saturday and Sunday at Wickers
Field, when Chester Covingtor
brings his baseball club to the city
to play the local clubs.
The local fans remember Lefty
Covington. He has played here
many times, and he also has play
ed in the major league, with the
Phillies. He was voted the most
valuable player in the minors IN
1910.
That year with Hartford, he
pitched perfect game, feat not
many pitchers accomplish in their
career. He retired q batters in a
game and no one reached first
base. One year he won "a games
and played with three different
clubs to do it. His ambition during
his long baseball career was to be
manager, and now he has his
own ball club - The Dade Gas
Co. nine of Miami, who won the
Amateur Baseball pennant this
year in the Magic City.
Mgr. Bill Gates of the Jr. Conchs
will play the first game Saturday
night at 1880 p. m.
He viii use Moe Henriquez be-
hind the plate. Geo. Lastres, just
back from Danville, will pitch.
Tony Hoppe will be on first; Lee
burg Knowles at second; Don Cruz
at third; and Julio Santana at short
with r. Bean. E. Rodriguez, Gibby
Gates in the gardens, and S. Kerr
in reserve.
On Sunday afternoon the same
two clubs will play and the Conchs
win use Don Cruz in the box or
S. Kerr, and the last game will
be played by the visitors and the
Key West All-Stars. The Stars have
players of the caliber of Dewitt
Roberts, Joe Lewis, Leon, Al Pa
20, R. Santana, D. Lastres, Cata-
la, Kaki Rodriguez, Tito Anguie-
ra E. Fernandez, C. Valdez and
Bunny Villareal. 1t is expected that
Roberts will catch and Joe Lewis
pitch in this game:
The Conchs have won. all their
games so far, and the All-Stars
have dropped two and won three so
far this season against invaders.
Note - Biff Salgado has left for
college, but will be back for Christ

Benson Ends Department Ties

In many States, the local
financing unit became the Farm
Bureau. In a few 1t was a farm

agent-the local representative

have his Office in the same build

BY the Associoted Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son called yesterday for an end
to tie-ups between Agriculture
Department employees and private
farm organizations in extending
services to farmers.
He said the policy of the de-
partment is. that no employe
shall accept the use of free
office space or contributions or
salary or travelling expenses
from any general or specialized
farm organization.
In addition, he said no de-
partment employe shall solicit
membership for private organ
izations or interfere with their
development or influence their
programs and policies. Neither,
he said, shall they approve any
contract for the department
providing for ''check-offs," from
payments due farmers, for mem
bership dues.
Mr.. Benson, explaining his
policy statement at a news con-
ference, said services of the
department should be available
to all persons requesting as
sistance or advice regardless /of
whether they belong to or do
not belong to any farm organ
ization.
The COP farm chief said the
policy is aimed largely at tieups
between the departments Exten-
sion Service and the Farm Bu-
reau, a private farm organization
in Illinois and Iowa. Also to
