From Where Sit
By GENE WALTON

Jackie Robinson: 100000 a Year?
Jackie Robinson, who has won
every important title in the Ma
tional League. is thinking of ask
ing for raise. He doesn't say how
much, but most scribes think it
will be about 100000. OF course,
$50, 900 isn't much, considering
that the Marshal Plan only costs
six billion-and too, pretty much,
considering Jackie only received
$40. 900 for the past season.
Jackie was an ideal forerunner
in breaking the color line in the
majors; he is one of the few one
man attractions who can draw
thousands of people to see him
perform. He has refrained from
making any such nasty" none
tary demands for over three years.
while the club has reaped enor-
nous rewards from the additional
customers he has drawn.
Why shouldn't he ask for $50. 900
for 1850? If Ted Williams, Joe
DiMaggio and Bob Feller can de-
mand (and getty $4,000 year,
certainly the National League
Batting Champion, Most Valuable
Player of the Year. alias Rookie
of the Year, can demand $50, 900
year. It's all matter of demand
ing ones worth and this scribe
suggests that Robinson follow suit
with the other diamond stars-or
at least. that's the way 1t looks
FROM WHERE I SIT.
No Segregation for Columbia
FROM WHERE SIT it appears
that Ralph Furey, Columbia U
Athletic Director. has taken a gal
liant stand against racial segrega-
ton (see story this page). He says
the withdrawal procedure will be
followed whenever members of the
squads are rejected.
If my memory serves me right,
Columbia has a couple of deep,
deep southern teams on its basket
ball schedule. The teams most
outstanding eager (who is coming
to Seattle to play the HusHies)' is
a Negro.
The Great John L.
John L. Davis has proved beyond
any doubt that he is one of the
great lightweights of this day.

opinion that he should be booked
with fighters of his own class.

This fight, which created the

took place at the end of the semi
final when the referee stopped the
fight between Washington's 145-
pound Jimmy Briscoe and the 140-
pound Marshall Clayton Of New
Orleans in 2:20 of the fourth
round. Briscoe had staggered
around. practically "out" on his
feet throughout the fourth round,

and desperately shaking his head

BY this time the ringsiders were
on their feet and around the scene
of activity as the policeman moved
in and stopped the fight, while the
angry referee explained. That's
the same man who has been cuss-
ing me for three weeks"
The referee was back in the ring
and on the job again for the main
bout in which Charlie Titone took
Art Llandos in split decision of
a 10 rounder.
Titone, the 124 IL pound feath-
erweight from Brooklyn, has only
lost two fights in two years and
Llandos had only lost one before
his loss to the Brooklynite.
One> of Titone's losses was to
Jimmy Cooper with whom he has
tangled three times, losing one,
winning one and fighting to
draw in the third. Llandos, former
Puerto Rican champ, also lost to
Cooper, at whom he would like
another crack.
Titone suffered a cut over his
right eye early in the first round,
but when the referee halted the
fight for split-second to take a
look at the cut, he was severely
booed by the crowd, and the little
Iranian assured the referee that
he was not seriously hurt and was
able to go on.
