the sports writer's who talked to
the Dodger Boss.
To begin with, the Mahatma
got the press straight on the re-
port that Jackie Robinson was on
the sale block for a reported price
of $275,0OO to the Cincinnati Reds
who would depart with five players
along with the cash. Another deal
said to involve Jackie was the one
where he was for sale to the
Boston Braves for $25O,OOO and
five players.
To the first item regarding the
Cincinnati deal, the .:'Beetle Brow
ed" "Dodger Boss'' replied "There
is no truth in the rumor about
selling Jackie to any one" and
as for the deal with the Reds, let
me ask you, Where could the Reds
find five ball players they could
give me for the greatest infielder
in the game today"
AS for the Braves, they were
lucky to survive the deal involving
Sammy Jethroe for a check with
six figures and three players in the
only deal with the Braves.
Getting back to the world series,
Hickey pulled no bones why he
told the press he was going to

reason for the husband to stab
her according to Det. Sgt. Lucious

Judge Charles Lee Mills of the
cutting when Willie Boyd, 20, of
11O7 Germantown st. was held to
the grand jury under a $1,000
bond.
Sgt. Gleaton related the story
as follows: Boyd's wife had sent
him tothe grocery to buy a chicken
for roasting, and when he return
ned, the fowl turned out to be
one for frying instead of the roast
ing type. An argument followed
and Boyd stabbed his wife in the
chest with a butcher knife.
Her condition was reported good
