Dilemma Described.
Mr.. Rieck, who also is big pro-
ducer of broilers, describes the
growers dilemma this way:
When a producer takes loss,
it's on a heavy production basis,
and when he goes into a profit
market again, he is operating on a
small production basis. It's damned
if you do and damned if you don't"
He said there are far too many
marginal" producers of chickens
men who lack proper financing
and know how" and generally are
inefficient operators. Many of these
producers moved into the industry
during the war as word spread of
the good profits to be made from
poultry.
Residents Start Production.
1t is estimated that broiler pro-
duction on the peninsula increased
500 per cent between 1899 and 1945.
Strangely enough, there was little
or no influx of poultry raisers from
other areas. Attorneys, doctors,
lumbermen, garage operators, all
residents of the peninsula decided
to take fling at raising broilers.
Old hands at producing chickens
frankly admit that the present ex-
perience may weed out a number
of these marginal producers and
return the industry to the pro
fessionals"
The future still is not very clear
however. The experts are concerned

5CoIored Boxers Win
Appeal From AAU Ban
On Inter-Racia| Bouts

Five colored amateur boxers to-
! day won the second round of their
battle to stop the District Amateur
Athletic Union from barring COL
ored athletes from participation
with whites in sanctioned
events as the Court of Appeals re-
versed District Court decision
which had dismissed the suit
brought against the AAU by the
boxers.
All but one of the plaintiffs in
the suit was minor and were rep
resented by adults. The one adult
plaintiff was Willie Farrall The
other plaintiffs were Edward w.
Banks, Henry David Porter, John
Jones and Robert Elkerson.
In brief memorandum opinion.
District Court last June, in dismiss
ing the case, held that there was
no present controversy subject to
judicial determination" pointing
out that the specific boxing matches
referred to were in the past-having
been held in January and February,
1945. The complaint was filed at
District Court last March.
The case now may be tried on It's
merits in District Court.
At present, the AAU does not per-
NIT colored fighters to box in events
here but colored trackmen are al
lowed to participate in track meets.
The local AAU contended that ath-
letes are not required to participate
in championship matches in their
home districts to qualify for ma
tional championship competition.
The Appellate Courts memoran-
dunn decision pointed out that the
only questions to decide are whether
the boxers complaint states a claim
for which relief can be granted"
and whether the affidavit shows that
there are genuine issues of material
facts.
In our view" the opinion read.
the answers to both questions are
affirmative.
The opinion, written by Justice
E. Barrett Prettyman, said there are
three issues involved in the suit:
Whether the sAAU controls through
sanctions the participation of COL
ored athletes in amateur cham
pionship events locally, nationally
or internationally, whether the con-
stitution and bylaws of the Dis
trict AAU or the National AAU
permit the restrictive sanctions i'm
posed here by the Registration Com
mittee of the local AAU and
whether local athletes may par
tlcipate in national championships
without first competing in the dis
trlct in which they are registered.

Tigers Plug Own Gap,
Red Sox' S, Too, With
Swapping Furry
BY Fronk Kenesson
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, May 20.-In a rapid
fire bargaining furry, the Detroit
Tigers within two days have helped
to solve two of the American
Leagues most glaring infield weak
nesses-both at third base.
Plugging their own gap at the hot
corner by trading Outfielder Bar
ney McCosky to the Philadelphia
Athletics for Third Baseman
George Kell during the week end.
the Tigers turned around yesterday
and sold the veteran Mike (Pinky)
Higgins to the league-leading Bos-
ton Red Sox for an undisclosed
amount of cash.
Kell, who moved right in as
Detroit's regular" third sacker as
the Tigers split Sundays twin bill
with Boston, is the third man to
operate there for the world champs
this season. Manager Steve ONeill
is confident the 23-year-old Ar
kansas school teacher is Just what
we need" at third

With Utility Man Jimmy Out
law available as a stop-gap, Detroit
then sent Higgins, a 14-year man
IN the majors, back to the Red
SoX, from whom the Tigers acquired
him IN fve-man deal in 1898.
Higgins, though approaching his
9th birthday, is remarkable
clutch hitter with lifetime
American League batting average Of
.295 and easily might prove to be
the immediate answer to Boston,s
third base problem.
Already this season the Red Sox
have tried four others at third. with
ex-Outfelder Leon Culberson prob
ably the best of the quartet that
also has included Ed Pellagrini, Glen
Russell and Rookie Ernie Andres.
Traded for Werber.
Higgins, traded to Boston by the
Philadelphia Athletics in 1886 for
Third Baseman Bill Werber, hit 302
and 1903 in two seasons in a Red
Sox uniform before coming to De-
troit in 1888 with Pitcher Archie
Mckaln in trade for Pitchers
Elden Auker and Jake Wade and
Outfielder Chet Morgan.
