May Ban Union
For Playing
Globe Trotters

WASHINGTON-(By A. E.
White for ANP)-The silly season
is in full swing. To wit, Virginia
Unions basketball team has been
declared a pro" outfit since they
played the Harlem Globe Trotters
in an exhibition game last week.
And refusing to play Union of all
teams was Howard, the simon
pure amatuer outfit, which has tie
worst record Of any team in the
CIAA.
Coach Hucles says he got the
sanction of the Virginia AAU to
play this game and when the Of
ficials of the CIAA protested, 1t
was too late to cancel the game.
If this is true, then there had
best be some looking into done by
all the coaches and managers OF
the various basketball teams in
and around our larger institutions
and cities.
Few, if any, basketball players
are not guilty OF playing fof
cakes" 1t is as comon as dish
water and the coaches know it.
This thing of calling Union a
pro team is out of line entirely.
The CIAA knows that other pro
teams have come into the East
and South and played college
teams, yet no one called them pros,
nor did they suggest it.
The CIAA permits its teams,
Howard, Virginia State and Lincoln
and Virginia Union, too, for that
part-to play the Recreation Col
legiates, an alleged amateur team
of this city. And who does the
Recreation team book for games2

aissance, the Heinrich Brewers of

Son Thrown 10 Pavement,
Mother Held for Murder

TORONTO, May 7 canadian
Press Police said an argument
between young parents, apparently
over cries of their 10-month-old son,
resulted in the death of the child
today, and the mother was charged
with murder.
The child. who died of a skull
fracture, was hurled to street by
the 22-year- mother, Mrs. Robert
Burnett, police said they were in
formed. Her husband, 26, was held
as material witness.
Police said onlookers gave this ac-
count:
The couple had visited beverage
room last night, one going inside
while the other cared for the child
outside. En- route home, the baby's
cries caused the father to carry him
while the mother wheeled the car
riage. An argument started as the
father attempted to quiet the child,
and the mother snatched the boy
and threw him to the pavement.
