NEGRO PLAYERS
HELP PRO
FOOTBALL TEAMS

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Pro-
fessional football team owners are
cashing in on the popularity OF
Negro players, who draw thou
sands of fans through the turn
stiles whenever they carry the
ball.
Like the baseball owners, the
color line was smashed in pro
gridiron circles a few years ago,
and today 18 Negroes are playing
on seven league teams, Wnlle SIX
teams still are lily-white.
Claiming that Negro players can
be found in hundreds OF small
colored colleges in the south, Al
White. writing in the December
issue of Our World, points out
that this is a fertile field, II prop
erlv exploited by big team own
ers, Two decades ago, White says,
the Chicago Cardinals signed ALL
American tackle Duke Slater, and
Oregon's famous Joe Lillard. &.
Not until 1914 did Negroes get
another chance to crash the color
line. and that was when the ALL
American Conference was organ
lied. Buddy Young was Installed
on the Yankee backfield and
Cleveland Browns hired big
Marion Motley, Horace Gillom and
Bill Willis. Several other teams in
this league hired Negro college
stars.
Many small White semi-pro
teams have engaged Negro play
ers, White reports. The Rebels in
Richmond, Va, featured Freddie
"Cannonball" Cooper last year.
Before White teams would hire
sepia players. many all-Negro
leagues existed, but in recent
times they have died out.
When Buddy Young retires he
will have a nice pile of money, as
his $4,000 yearly salary with the
New York Yankees. makes the
highest paid Negro player in the
game. Other rookie players usual
ly start in at $4,000, and If they
make the grade, get yearly in
creases in keeping up with their
gate popularity, White concludes.

OXFORD, Miss. - (ANP) - A

UNDER Is AND
OVER 65
DANGEROUS
TRAFFIC AGES

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov. g.
The dangerous age-or ages-in
traffic according to Director H.
N. Kirkman of the Department of
Public Safety are below Is and
over IS, for it is among these two
age groups that pedestrian fatali-
ties are greatest.
The November program of traf-
fic safety education in Florida has
pedestrian protection as it theme.
Activities this month are being
sponsored by the Florida High
way Patrol and coordinated with
the efforts of the Florida Citizens
Safety Council.
According to National figures"
Kirkman said, "about 1000 child
rem under the age of Is are kill
ed as pedestrians each year This
figure is about SO per cent high
er, as a rule, than the number of
IS to 24-year-olds meeting the
same fate"
In actual deaths, however Flori-
ola Highway Patrol figures show
that pedestrians over IS years Of
! age have the highest rate. Based
on the number of pedestrian in
juries and deaths in this over "a
group, it was found in one typi-
cal year that one out of every
eight of these elderly pedestrians
who were injured while walking,
died as a result of the accident.
This, Kirkman pointed out, is
even more lopsided than it seems
at first glance when one considers
the comparatively small percen-
age of our population falling
within this advanced age group.
"The reasons for this over
abundance of pedestrian deaths in
these two groups are fairly OBJ
vious," Kirkman said. Gagged pc
destrians are less able to protect
themselves in traffic - in many
cases their sight, hearing, and re-
action time are inadequate for
dealing successfully with present.
day traffic. When injured they
are far less likely to recover.
con the other hand" he con-
tinued. "children under Is owe
their high pedestrian death rate
to two major causes: crossing be-
tween intersections and playing
in the roadway"
While large part of the blame
for the deaths in these two age
groups can be laid at the feet of
the pedestrian themselves, the
Florida Highway Patrol feels that
- particularly with these two
groups - the motorists are in
large part liable because of the
relative helplessness or immatur-

People are Funny F. the election
of local county candidates proves the
saying to be true. AS long as you
voted that's swell and we will all

Not until the official returns are
published in each county can we
analyze the why and the wherefore.

1t was very simple, World Alma

years, ever since 1878, there has
been an uptrend in gains by the party

our labor unions threw no mud. The
injection of religion into the cam

to the concepts of our forefathers,
the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Smacks too much of Hitler, Mussolini,
Stain tactics, and union labor does
not want any part of those TSMS.
The terrible plane accident near
Butte, when the husband of one of
our closest friends, Mrs George Kill

A safety play OF a type not fire.
quently encountered was resorted to
in today's hand, culled from a re-
cent tournament. The slam con-
tract was reached with dispatch.
The North hand in support of
hearts was wvith 16 points, bring
ing it within the range of a double
raise, whose limits are 13 to 16.
South knew there were sufficient
values on hand for slam purposes,
but, in order to allow for the posi-
bihty that North had two losing
diamonds, he checked for aces
Note that his void of spades ruled
out a four-no-trump bid and re-
quired that he resort to direct ace
showing. When North showed the
ace of diamonds he was assured of
safety.
South was anxious. if possible, to
make an overtrick on his slam con-
tract, but his eagerness to attain
the maximum did not prevent him
from taking full precaution for the
safety of the contract itself. This
he did in a neat manner.
The queen of clubs was opened
and declarer saw that the contract
was clinched but for the remote
possibility of losing two diamond
tricks. Against such a contingency,
he set out to protect himself. He
won in dummy and led the king of
spades, hoping to coax the ace, but
when it failed to appear he ruffed.
A trump was led to the dummy and
another spade was ruffed. He re-
turned to dummy by pulling the last
trump and then followed with the
ace and another club, which dummy
trumped. The'l last spade was then
ruffed in the closed hand and the
black suits were completely elimi-
mated with one trump left in each
hand.
There was now a chance for a
grand slam if both missing dia-
mond honors could be picked up.

man is incomplete.
Likewise in a series of three or
more, commas are necessary to make
the meaning clear. Let us say that
a woman buys four dresses and we
describe them thus: blue, green red
and yellow dresses. Without the
comma before "and," the statement
actually describes three dresses, not
four, and the last mentioned is red
and yellow.
Note how the comma before "and"
clarifies the meaning: blue, green,
red, and yellow dresses. We know
now that there are four dresses and
that each is of a separate color.
Apply the same logic to these
statements and note how necessary
the comma is before "and":
