A FACT THE PAPERS
OF THESTATES IGNORED
BILL SPlLLER, L. A. NEGRO,
FIGHTS GOLF JIMCROW
BY BILL MARDO

New York,-When a Negro is
arrested, the papers never neglect
to mention the fact that he is a
Negro, but when Negro manages
to break into golf tourney and
give a champion a run for his
money, they conveniently ignore
the fact.
have in mind the recently con-
cluded Los Angeles Golf Open,
which Ben Hogan copped for the
third time.
If you're follower Of the links,
it's quite probable you were kept
unaware that the Bill Spiller who
carded 68 to tie Hogan on the
first day of play. was a Negro.
Or perhaps you guessed same
when you came across reference
to Spiller in The New York Times
and Herald Tribune as merely a
"Los Angeles redcap."
Face is, golf in strictly a lily
white sport, and if there's no formal
ban against Negro entrants the
same result has been accomplished
by the "politer" methods of JIM
crow. Fact also is, I can't remem-
Der when any other Negro player
before Spiller competed in the big
Open.
A pro golfer visited us yesterday
and it was his opinion the Los
Angeles promoters were probably
quite relieved when Spiller shot
a 78 the next afternoon to doom
his chances of coping.
Not that Spiller did too badly by
the time the tournament ended. For
an unknown to finish 34th in the
field of "a topnotch finalists is
quite an accomplishment, particu-
larly when he came in ahead of
Lew Whersham, last years big
noise, Olin Dutra, Jimmy Hines Ed
Oliver and men of that caliber.
"Only other time I remember a
Negro in a big tourney was Joe
Louis in the Tam o Shater," re-
called this pro. And of course it's
obvious someone like Joe can gain
entree to predominatly jimcrow
sport easier than the unknown
Negro athlete.
The Spiller story is vitally i'm
portant. Tennis, golf, bowling, the
winter sports are all closed to the
Negro athlete. And whenever any
Negro manages to open the doors
so slightly I think that is news,
even if The Times and Tribune
don't. --.----.--
It's a helluva commentary on
those few lingering undemocratic
hangovers in the sports world that
the Spillers haven't become as
commonplace in golf ct al as they
have in the fields of boxing, track,
football and basketball.
Somebody might remind the golf
monguls that for a while it was
John Shippen, a Negro, who was
unofficially credited with the long
est American driving record. Scored
in strictly jimcrow competition, Of
course.

Westside Residents
Sue To Remove
Railroad Track

Suit to force Santa Fe Railway
Company to tear up it's spur track
on South 18th Avenue was filed in
Maricopa County Superior Court
Wednesday by Mr.. and Mrs. James
Matthews ,and Mrs. Laura Hurbert,
residents of the avenue.
Besides the railroad company,
the plaintiffs name Maricop
County Board of Supervisors as de-
PENDANTS and ask the court to de-
clare an asserted franchise granted
by the board to the company to
build the spur track void.
Terrence A. Carson, attorney for
the Matthewses and Mrs. Hubert,
alleged that on June 26 they with
other property owners along the
railroad, served written notice on
the railroad and the board of super
visors that building Of the track
in front of their homes was in
violation of the state constitution.
In the spring and summer of
1947, the railway company, ALLEGED
ly without the consent of the plain
tiffs and contrary to their wishes,
built the spur track to a point south
Of 18th Avenue across 18th and 10Th
avenues, the complaint further al
leges.
In addition to the plea for an
order that 18th Avenue be restored
to it's origional condition, the plain
tiffs ask $4,000 judgment against
the defendants.
