been customary to sell It to the

Florida City Mayor ''Wlar1s " Rickey Dodgers
SEGREGATION RULES APPLY
 TO ROBINSON
By CORNELIUS RYAN TfnakeH PrAan 9wnrta Witt

NeaANNNA
 New York, oct. 25-(UP)-The discussion of the signing of Jackie Robinson, first Negro to be accepted by organized baseball, simmered down to a "wait-and-see" attitude today. The whole issue promised to become the feature of l046 spring training.
 With few exceptions. baseball men and sports writers both north and south of the Mason Dixon line agreed that 1t was enlinently fair that a Negro should have a chance to play in organized baseball and to make the major leagues if he is good enough.
 Robinson, @ 26-year-old shortstop from Pasadena, Cal., who hit $40 in l945 with the Kansas City Mon- archs, Negro team, will train with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The training camp is at Daytona Beach, Fla, and the mayor there already has told the Dodgers that Robinson must observe the city's segregation rules.
 However, Branch Rickey of the Dodgers indicated that proper ar- arrangements will be made in Florida, and the main issue was expected to be reaction of fans and other play- CTS.
 Because the "color line" Is vir. tually unknown in Montreal, no re- percusslons were expected there, and since International league membership extends no further south than Baltimore, other cities too were expected to show no unus. ual interest.
 Hickey moved to forestall any player resentment, announcing that he would take "adequate steps" if players openly worked against Rob- inson. Branch Rickey, Jr., said at Montreal Tuesday that the Dodgers might lose some players who resent the acquisition of Robinson.
 However, 1t appeared to be up to Robinson's baseball ability.
 Most baseball players and writ CTS, including those from the south, said that Negro had a right to a fair trial. Said Sports Editor Hugo Germinio of the Durham, N. C., Sun; ''The Negro and white man are opponents In the ring-why not on the baseball diamond?" Frank Spencer of the Winston-Saiem Journal said that T want to see the Negro stand on his own merit"

Hartford, oct. 25 "A weakened Weaver High school football team opposes an up and coming Leaven- worth (waterbury) squad this af- ternoon on Patterson Field. The kickoff is scheduled for o'clock.
 Coach Charlie Gipson of the Northenders indicated last night that Andy Jenks, varsity center, and Menash Saul, first string guard, are definitely sidelined for the contest by injuries. In addition five regulars are in doubtful category. These are Howie Blesso and Leo Yaconiello, backs; Captain Moe Romano and Jesse Sklar, tackles; and Frank Toro, high scoring end. If these players aren't able, to participate the Green and White will be greatly handicapped. Blesso and Yaconiello do much of the passing while Toro. one of Viewers best receivers, Is current- ly leading the local schoolboy scor- CTS. Captain Romano is one of the mainstays of the Northenders' line.

 The Northenders ended their preparations for the game with signal drill yesterday.
 Leavenworth is out to avenge last years defeat and to knock Weaver from the unbeaten ranks. The Wa terbury crew lost the Hamden, 21 to 2, dropped a to o decision to New Haven Commercial in the last two minutes, and edged previously unbeaten Crosby of Waterbury, to 2, last Saturday.

EXtral Extral The Sockets are no longer in first place. The Fuses did the trick. Tn fact, they did such a good job that the highly touted Sockets failed to garner even one point. Poor Socketsl What a shame! Just when everybody was beginning to think that they were so firmly entrenched in that lofty position that 1t was impossible to dislodge them. Mary Cronin, Bill Weston and Gordon Whitaker helped greatly in the four point victory. Mary Is back in her old form again and rolled @ neat BOA, while Bill and Whit came through with 3l5 and 358 respectively.

 We now have Q three-way tie for first place between the Am- peres, Plugs and Switches, and so there should be some excitement in the old league next week.
