BROOKLYN, Aug. 16.-Jackie
Robinson, famed Negro second
baseman of the Dodgers, said to-
day, II won't be surprised if I'm
traded to some other club before
the start Of the 1851 season."
Robinson gave this opinion amid
indications of rising tension on
the Brooklyn team, such as can
be expected on a championship
club favored to win the pennant
but now tagging 61a games be-
hind.
"I can't tell you any more"
Robinson said to an Associated
Press reporter. "It may be no
more than hunch. I've just got
the feeling, that's ALL"
Milton Gross of the New York
Post, quoting Robinson to the
same effect, also said Roy Campa-
nella, Brooklyn's Negro catcher,
told him:
"Jackie's not the only one who's
thinking that. There's a lot of
fellows on the club who don't
figure they're going to be back.

Sam Mele has batted .425 over
a seven-game stretch since he re-
placed injured Mickey Vernon as
the Mats first baseman and fans
who expected him to display a
fielding average of similar pro-
portions have been pleasantly sur
prised. Sam is winning friends
around Washington's inf1eld with
his slick defensive work.
When the Mats tackle the
Yankees tonight, with Sandy Con-
suegra pitching against New
York's Tommy Byrne, Mele will
have been errorless for more than
10 weeks. His last miscue was
made May % and he has booted
only one other chance this year
Both came at a time when Mele
was playing centerf1eld.
Since his last error, Mele has
handled 1872 chances f1awlessly,
splitting them up between first
base and left, center and right
fields. AS the Mats divided de-
layed double header yesterday,
winning the afternoon game, 1915,
before bowling, 80, in the separate
admission night contest, Sam pro-
duced a fielding gem in each
game.
Starts Neat Double Play.
Mele inaugurated a neat first
to-second-to-f1rs double-play in
the seventh inning of the first
game. Under the lights he plucked
an erratic throw from Sam Dente
out of the dirt in the fourth inn
ing when the clubs were locked
in a scorelesS tie.
Benched as the result of bat
ting a meager .125 in six games
when the Mats returned from
Philadelphia to face Boston, Sam
stepped into Vernon's job and has
been sizzling since. He has lifted
his season average to .301.
Barring a complete collapse
Mele is headed for his best year
In 1947 as a rookie, he hit IA
doubles, 8 triples and IL homers
batted across 73 runs and hit .302
This year he has hit IL doubles,
5 triples and 10 homerS, while
driving in 10 runs.
Mele contributed two of the
Mats three hits against Ed Ford,
left-handed rookie. in a drab game
last night. Bob Kuzava held the
Yankees for four innings, but they
pried two runs from him in the

Delta chapter of Beta Sigma Phi met at the home of Mrs. Carl Rusher this week and despite the unusual weather, there was a fpl. attendance. After brief Dusina5 meeting. plans were made and con- mittees appointed to handle the ds~ tails of an adoption of family for Christmas. This is a sorority cus-
 tom internationally practical h, some 5000 chapters of the sorority. The Special Welfare Committee for the 1850 Christmas was named by the President. Mrs. R. B. William and those selected for this years committee are Mrs Ray Renshaw and Mrs Joe Render, Jr
 Extensive plans were also made for a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Joe Render, Jr., in Douglas, on Tuesday, December 12. l. was decided to dispense with the last meeting of December for the reason it would fall on Tuesday, December 26.
 Since Beta Sigma Phis are known generally for their "firsts," again it is hoped to develop unique service project for the city of Ju- neau which involves a minority group. The chairman of the Service Project is Dorothy Farrell.
 The cultural program was given by Mrs. Lee Dunlap. This subject remains China with the phase Of "Religions of China" the theme for that particular meeting. It was most interesting and the parallel drawn from the program is that the Chi nese people and the Eslzimos are closely related in their belief in mysticism. It is scientific belief that the Eskincs do have ther an cestry in tlae Orientals.
