ID. {. Afro-American
Cleared in Fraud Suit

The Washington Afro American
newspaper yesterday was cleared
in a $4,000 damage suit, charg-
ing the firm fraudulently preached
a contract under which it bought
so per cent of the stock of the
now defunct Washington Trib-
une, another Negro newspaper.
Judge Charles Mclaughlin gave
this decision in District Court.
The suit was brought by Ethel
Murray, Freeman Murray and
Norma M. Jorgensen, the minority
stockholders of the Washington
Tribune Corp.
While the corporation still
exists, the paper went out of pub
LEGATION in 1916.
The sales contract was agreed
to in August, 1945. between the
Afro-American and the so per
cent stockholders. It's terms spe-
CITED that the Afro-American
would continue and expand the
Tribune. But the minority group
claimed that Afro-American was
guilty of fraud by allegedly hav-
ing never intended to keep the
Tribune going.
The three stockholders also
charged that the Afro American

let the Tribune, a Tuesday weekly,
deteriorate, and ultimately stopped
publishing the Tribune altogether
After this, the Afro-American
then came out with a Tuesday
edition of its own, making it a
bi-weekly, according to the charge.
The Afro-American countered
that it tried to operate the Trib-
une for IA months. But after
losses of $4,000, in addition to
the $1,000 purchase price, the
Afro-American said it decided to
give up trying to operate the
Tribune as separate paper.
Judge Mclaughlin ruled the
Tribune's minority stockholders

done in setting up the unified pub

George Washington is pitting its
passing attack against South
Cardinals powerful ground game
in the Colonials' homecoming
game at $3.50 O'Clock tonight at
Griffith Stadium to start a big
schedule of football here this week
end. The visiting Gamecocks are
one-touchdown favorites to spoil
GW's homecoming, just as Mary
lands was spoiled by North Caro-
lima State last week and George
towns by Maryland the week be-
fore.
The college grid program con-
tinues tomorrow with two more
big attractions, Villanoya opposing
Georgetown at Griffith Stadium at
"a pm. and Scranton meeting
Quantico Marines at Alexandra
at $3.50 pm. Also here tomorrow
are Shaw at Howard in the lat
ter'S homecoming, and Montgom-
cry Junior College at Gallaudet.
Terps and Gu Away.
On out-of-town trips tomorrow
are Maryland and Catholic U.
The Terrapins play at Duke and
the Cardinals at Mount st. Mary's.
South Carolina comes here with
a powerful one-two ground punch
featuring Steve Wadiak, the
Southern Conferences rushing
leader and Bishop Strickland.
Steamboat Steve tops the confer
ence with 524 yards, an average
of IA yards carry. He is fresh
from his most brilliant perform
ance of the fall campaign, having
scored$ $both touchdowns as the
Gamecocks held Clemson to a
14-14 tie last week.
Strickland, his running mate at
halfback, boasts an average of
more than S yards and with these
two operating in the backfield the
GamecockS are justly noted for
their strong rushing game. AS if
that wasn't enough, South Caro-
lima expects to unveil a hard
plunging fullback, 19O-pound
Chuck Prezioso. He hasn't played
yet because of injuries but was
able to dress for last weeks game
and is counted on to see action
tonight.
Davis Record Impressive.
A contrast to South Cardinals
running game is GW's passing at
tack built around Andy Davis. His

Three interSectional clashes
favor the visitors as Georgia, Mi
ami and San Francisco get the
nod over Boston College, Pitts
burgh and Fordham. Syracuse
should take initial possession of
the newly-created Boston Bean
Pot by virtue of its win over Bos-
ton University. Other important
Eastern games favor Colgate,
Dartmouth, Georgetown and Penn
State over Brown, Harvard, Villa
nova and Temple.
Travelling to the opposite coast
We find an important game. Un-
beaten in the Pacific Coast Con-
ference, Washington tackles once
defeated Stanford. This could be

goes to Stanford. California S

by st. Mary's, while Oregon will
not allow Southern California to

State has too much all around

over Pepperdine and Fresno State.

NOTED by Bobby Riggs and head

stand at Uline Arena. If the show
doesn't do better here and else
where on the road than it did in
its opening last night at New
York's Madison Square Garden, ii
may be one of the biggest f1ops OF
recent years. :.
So Washington, no soft touch,

Gussy evidently wasn't as much
of an attraction as expected in
New York. where 6,526 fans paid a
total of $16,960 to see the start
of a tour scheduled to extend
Through 100 cities.
Kramer Is Unimpressive.
Billed as the nominal star of
the show, Gussy looked cute in a
couple of different costumes, but
she had no tennis shots to match
as Mrs. Pauline Betz Addie blasted
her aside in exactly 80 minutes.
Go. 613.

peal for the last two years, was
little more impressive as he bowed
to Pancho Segura, a dy-legged,
little guy brought up from the
prelims. 60, 60. 611. The
ease with which Segura. wee idol
of Ecuador, trounced Kramer fur
nished the main surprise for the
first nighters.
Kramer and Gussy beat Pauline
and Segura in the mixed doubles,
I6-1, 6-3.
Promoter Riggs, himself a for
mer pro and amateur champion,
was visibly disappointed by the
cool reception given his 1850 pro-
duction, but hoped for better
things on the road. Many OBJ
servers believed the So top price
was too steep. even for New York.
Prices at Uline Arena range from
SO for the best seats down to 81 25
for general admission.
Tonight's program starts at
1880 o'clock, with Miss Moran and
Mrs. Addie meeting in singles, fol-
lowed by another singles match
between Kramer and Segura. A
mixed-doubles match, Mrs. Addie
teaming with Segura and Kramer
with Gussy, will wind it up.
Gussy Wears No Lace.
Gussy didn't wear lace in her
opening match with Mrs. Addie,
four time national amateur cham
pion, but she rectified that by
coming out for the mixed-doubles
number in a one-piece blue pique
and lace number.
For the singles Gussy had on a
rather modest white pique Job,
with short fiaired skirt that gave
the customers frequent glimpses
OF her trimmed panties.
Mrs. Addie, an attractive blond
from California, who now makes
her home in Arlington with her
sports writer husband, Bob Addie,
stole Gussy's costume thunder
with pair of satin shorts and
cerise sweater that provoked pene-
trating whistles from the gallery.
She changed to zebra shorts for
the mixed doubles.

The Possible Drawback

There is only one sad note that
might affect attendance for the
year ahead. This is to have some
club in either league make a run
away of the race. That could hap
pen.
The Red Sox or the Yankees
might turn this trick. I don't think
either will but there is still the
chance.
The Dodgers might get the
jump and open up a big gap il
pitchers Ralph Branca and
Rex Barney pitch about two
thirds as well as they ought to
pitch.
No club in the American league
barring Red Sox and Yankees
has a chance to stampede the race.
No other club beyond the Dodgers
has the same chance in the Ma
tional.
But even then those clubs with
stars wouldn't suffer too much.
The Pirates proved that last year
when Ralph Kiner hit 81 runs and
drew in big part of the 1,400, 900
and more spectators. The populace
at large either wants a winner,
near winner or a star. If they can't
get a 1928 team they want a Ted
Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Mu-
sial, Country Slaughter, Ralph Kin
er or someone of higher than nor
NAL stature.
The stars will draw. Tho
Yankees are lucky in having
Joe DiMaggio, Heinrich, Page
and Rizzuto. The Red Sox arc
just as lucky in having Will
liams, Dom DiMaggio, Parneu
and a smashing infield. And.
Zarilla is no part Of a second
rater.
There is another tall, slender
workman on the Red Sox club who
might be one of the games best.
His name is Maurice McDermott.
McOermott is only 81 years old.
He is 6-feet-2 and weighs 1865
pounds. He is built like whip and
he throws like whip. He was born
in Poughkeepsie, NY, and his rec
ord so far hasn't been too hot. But
he has all the stuff one left arm is
supposed to carry, including hur-
ricane speed.
"How've you been going?"
asked McDermott. "Wilder than
two hawks" he said.
Youth and speed don't lead to per-
feet control. McDermott may be
one of the best left-handers Of
many years before the season ends.
