Maxine Sullivan, she of the Scot
tish ballads, and John Kirby, he
of the kingdom of swing and the
Duffy's Tavern radio program,
having struck a flat note in their
!, marital harmonizing, took the mat
ter to court last week when the
fragile-voiced Maxine told Offic-
ial Referee Richard p. Lydon in
supreme court that their song
had ended and that she wanted a
divorce. The step put an end to
gossip that had been mouthed a.
bout since late last year that the
two celebrates were not hitting it
off so we'll.
Of course, as Maxine tells it,
hubby John had indulged in a bit
of extra-curricula marital work in
November and was surprised by
two of her friends, Charles Clark
and Mrs. Georgia Spencer, while
in the process. The "other wom-
an" was not identified.

Miss Sullivan who wanted him to

the other woman" and together
they went to the nearby garage
for his car. The witnesses order
ed cab and trailed Kirby's car
to the Braddock hotel where the
couple is said to have registered
Clark and Mrs. Spencer say they
bided their time for about half an
hour then entered the hotel. Clark
approached the desk and asked for
Mr.. Kirby so that he might tell
him where he had parked his car.
The clerk denied that Mr.. Kirby
was there but the elevator oper-
ator, overhearing the conversation
interrupted: "Oh yes, John is up
stairs in room with a cute little
chick"
The two witnesses then went to
the room number mentioned and
induced Kirby to open up. What
they say they saw was Kirby in
his shorts and the "other woman"
in bed but with presence of mind
to cover her face to conceal her
identity. The mission was COM
pleted when Clark and Mrs. Spen-
Ger detailed their information to
Miss Sullivan at her home in the
Roger Morris apartments that
same morning.
When the subject was broached
to John by Maxine there was a
huffing and a putting that result
ed in an irreconciIable split with
John moving away from the apart
ment. After eight months of this
the handwriting on the wall was
clearer and so Miss Sullivan took
the initiative to dissolve the mar
riage.
They were married in March
1893, and have no children. Mrs.
Kirby asks no alimony, and there
appears to be no defense of the
action. 1t is expected that the
final decree will be handed down
in about three months.

have fought together fer the past
four weeks for Negro bus drivers
and mechanics will hold gigantic
victory parade in Harlem, New
York City, on Saturday, April 26,
at l o'clock.
For four weeks the United Ne

son, Audley Moore and Naomi
Kornacker have waged historic
battle for Negro bus drivers and

Co. and N. Y. City Omnibus Cor
poration.
This battle came to close when
an agreement was signed between
the duly authorized representa-
ives of the Transport Workers I'm
ion, the bus corporation and the
United Negro Bus Assn. on FRI
day, April 1S.
To celebrate this victory Harl-
EN- has declared a legal holiday for
Saturday, April 26. All places of
business will suspend operations
between the hours of 2 and and
all Harlem will march-churckes,
political clubs, trade unions, Soc

vene at 110 st. and Lenox Ave,

the picketeers under the leader
ship of marshals John Paris, Joe

up by Counsellors Harrison jack
son and Hope Stevens calls for i'm
mediate employment as the need
arises of 70 Negroes in the main
tenance division, of 100 Negroes
in the bus drivers division. No
member of any other race can be
employed until this ITO has been
employed. After that there will
be an employment of one Negro
for each white until II percent OF
the working group is Negro-this
means over 500 of the 5000 odd
employees of the bus company
will eventually be Negro workers

the following statement;
This is not the end, but merely
the beginning in the historic stlug-
gle of the Negro people of the

rights to dwell in the heart OF this
democracy of ours, rather than on
the fringe. Our slogan as we
march forward together is-let's
make our land safe for democracy

that all members of this democ-
racy, even though they are a min

By BURTON HAWKINS,

While Bucky Harris is talking
very much as if he will manage the
Mats for an eighth straight season
in 1912, the name of John Camel,
skipper of Washington's Glass D
Florida State League farm at
Orlando, has popped up as a
possibility to pilot Clark Grif1ith's
American League entry next season.
Camel. former major league
player and longtime friend of
Griffith, repeatedly was offered his
choice of managing the Mats farm
teams at Charlotte, N. c., or Green
vile, S. c., this season, but preferred
to remain at Orlando The Orlando
Sentinel-Star says he may make the
big jump.
While Griffith frequently has been
critical of the Mats tactics this
season. Harris nevertheless is likely
to retain his job. Bucky will attend
the major league draft meeting at
New York before the World Series
and conversationally is including
himself in discussing next years
prospects.
Rookie Crop Excellent.
Refreshing to Harris is the Mats
crop of rockies currently up for in
Spection. Its the best batch we've
had in years" says Bucky of such
as Roberto Ortiz, Jack Sanford,
Early Wynn, Charley Letchas and
Hills Layne.
Ortiz is going to get plenty of
work on ground balls the remainder
of the season." continues Harris,
"and we'll really operate on him
in spring training. He'll learn to
come up with email he needs to
learn is how to relax.

ford in the outfield because Mickey
Vernon will do at first base. I don't
see why Jack couldn't make the
shift-he's fast, has a good arm
and he could give us power.
'rLayne is intelligent. He has a
lot to learn about playing third
base, but he likes that spot better
than shortstop or second base and
he's picking up pointers nicely from
Ossie Bluege. We're gonna try him
at third and Letchas at second.
They both look good.

BY SID FEEDER,

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Although
no one involved will make a peep
about it yet, it was learned today
that a group of men headed by
John B. Kelly, former world cham
pion CarSman, is interested in buy.
ing the Philadelphia Phillies.
The story is that Kelly, a Phila-
delphia Democratic leader for years
and of late national chairman for
civilian physical training, and Jim
Peterson, who pitched for Connie
Mack's Philadelphia Athletics about
a decade ago, are the guiding lights
in the attempt to purchase the Ma
tional Leagues chronic cellar dwell
| erS
Now, while selling the PhilHes has
been a bit of baseball by-play for
years and they haven't really been
sold yet, the sources of the present
/ information are two friends of Pet
erSon and Kelly. They say the
/ group, which includes three other
/ men, is ready to go as high as $500
900, to include any debts the club
may have, and that a 100000 feeler
already has been put before Gerry
Nugent, the Phils' president.
Make General Denials.
However, from Nugent on the one
side and Kelly and Peterson on the
other, all the way up-or doHn-to
National League President Ford
Frick, who figures he would get
wind Of 1t If something was doing"
there come nothing but denials.
Nugent says he's received no bids
and Peterson says none has been
made. Frick insists the Phils don't
owe the National League any more
money than any other club and that
he knows nothing of any sale deals.
On the other hand, the sources
OF the story pointed out that while
negotiations are only in the get-the-
ball-rolling stage, one of the prospec-
tive purchasers asked Connie Mack
about it. And Connie is said to have
told him the franchise is worth half
a million even without ball player.
OF which the Phillies do have one or
two, anyway.
Naturally, Connie is not one of the
hope-to be- buyers. Mr.. McGillicud-
dy has enough headaches as head
man of the AS.
The Phils haven't been doing any
too well at the box Office for the last
couple of years, and rumors of sale
of the club have come as often as
the outfit has finished in the Ma
tional League cellar. Early this
summer there was a whisper that
Branch Hickey was leaving the ST.
Louis Cardinals organization and
would buy out Nugent. But this
one finally was tracked down as a
vision some one dreamed up after
going for a second helping of Welsh
rarebit late one evening.
The mutual friends who told this
corner the current story explained
that if the deal goes through, Peter
son is slated for the spot as busi-
ness manager of the club. He now
is in the advertising business in
Philadelphia. The group involved
is supposed to be ready to spend a
million in buying the club and
building it up to something resem-
bling pennant proportions.
Nugent has been president of the
Phils since 1882 Both he and his
wife were in the Phils' organization
under the ownership of william B.
Baker, after whom the old Phils'
ball park was named.

Soose Risks Prestige
In 12-Rounder With
Garcia Tonight
Middle Champ Fovorite,
But Filipino Veteran
Still Is Dangerous
BY ROBERT MYERS,
ssociated Press Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15.-Middle-
weight Champion Billy Soose planks
his prestige. if not his title, on the
line tonight in a 12-round outdoor
fight to a decision with bronze
skinned Ceferino Garcia, veteran
Filipino with the famed so-called
bolo-punch.
Good looking Billy, former Penn
State College boxer and owner of
one of the most gifted left hands in
the fight business, goes into the
ring a slight betting favorite to out
point Garcia, who held Soose's New
York-Pennsylvania recognized world
title in 1939-40.
The ageless socker from the
Philippines carried young army of
admirers behind him, however, and
a knockout over the fastener hard
ly would be a surprise to them.
Promoter Tom Gallery predicted
a throng of $4,000 would pay in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to watch
this, California's first 12-round bat
tie to decision under its new law.
More conservative estimates were
somewhat under Gallery's optimistic
hopes. The fight is to be staged in
the Hollywood baseball park.
The 23-year-old titleholder may
be making his last appearance In
regal robes. He's having too much
weight trouble. He figured to scale
168 pounds for Garcia, and may be
compelled to vacate the division
shortly.
Garcia. who has been fighting for
nearly 20 years and still is going
strong. agreed to come in over the
160-pound limit. He expected to
weigh 161 or so.
The 35-year-old Garcia, who may
be older, took a lay-off last year
after dropping the title to Ken
Overlin. Returning to action two
months ago, he looked as good as,
if not better, than ever. He handed
knockouts to rugged young Jimmy
Casino and venerable Bobby Pacho
in tune-up fights.
Soose has a large following of
fans in Southern California, too He
started his professional career here
as preliminary boy, came back last
year as main-event f1ghter-whip-
ping this Casino lad decisively-and
now appears as the claimant of the
world championship.
He has prestige at stake, if not his
crown. 1t should be great fight.
