the Brooklyn Dodgers tell him, de-
spite Ku Klux Klan opposition.

play against the Atlanta Crackers.
The Dodgers meet the Southern
Association Crackers here April

Cracker President Earl Mann said
he expected both Robinson and
Campanella to be in the lineup.

laws would bar the Negroes against
a white team in Atlanta.
Branch Hickey. the Dodger pres
ident, was quoted by the New York
Times as saying if some cities ban
Negro players. why the Dodgers
simply won't play there, and that
is all there is to that"

Newhouser's S New Pay
Reported $4,000
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 49, With the
start of spring training just six
weeks away. 1949 contracts were in
the mail today for 36 Detroit Tigers.
But the most notable signature
already was on the dotted line.
Hal Newhouser, Detroit's left
handed pitching star and top
salaried player, signed yesterday
for substantial raise" after an
hours conference with General
Manager Billy Evans.
Newhouser accepted what is be-
lieved to be a $50 1000 contract.
1t was the 10th Tiger contract
the 27-year-old southpaw has
signed, but never before has he
been the first Detroit player in the
fold. In the last five years, four of
which have seen him a 20-game
winner, he more often than not has
been the last player to sign.
Last spring, after 17-l7 record
in 1947 that was his poorest since
1943, Hal took a $4,000 cut in sal
ary and received an estimated
$50, 900.
But he came back to win 81 games
and lost only IL in 194S, registering
an earned run mark of Sol. He was
the only American League pitcher
to win more than 20 games.
That put him in line for restora-
ton of the pay cut and it's possible
that his 1949 salary will be his best

Foster, a boyish, two-flsted bangor

knocking out tough Tony Pellone,

ary 81. Chicago may get the Jack
fight. as it originally was scheduled
there, but Hurley will have lorg
and very interesting discussion to-
day with Harry Marksor, goth Gen.
tury Sporting CLUB director.
Pellone had been knocked out only
once. He broke his kneecap when
he fell out of a New Brunswick,
N. j., ring in 1914 while fighting
George Knox.
Rough House Tony, so often the
winner of close decisions by back
alley methods, was in with fellow
little bit tougher than he. Left
hook to the body, right hand to the
head. That was Fosters formula.

is better at this stage of his career
than Petrolle.
Foster was the big hit of the New
