CAMPANELLA, RICHLY

Branch Hickey has either signed
Row Campanella to contract call
ing for $4,000 or $4,000 more than
his last season pay. We take COM
fort in the fact that the busy Cam
PAMELA who appeared in 127 games
last season will earn more than
$4,000 over his 40 take-home-pay
for the next six months come Aprll
1850, AS we continue to point out,
major league baseball represents
new bor-front-opening' for Negro
athletes who after the customary
seasoning make the stiff grade OF
this sports theater. We like strong
men (morally and mentality like
Campanella, Don Newcombe. Ray
Robinson. Larry Dolby, etc.. who
carry on in button-lip manner to
earn these huge salaries despite the
obvious off-color experiences they
have faced from time to time. The
pull has been a long and hard one.
Something similar to a grade'englne
toiling slowly upsthe sheer race OF
a mountain. A few year from now as
your boy rushes into the living
room with q contract that lifts the
family from "the other side OF the
tracks" lin an economic sense) the
fun significance Of these Inter
racial gains will be evaluated. An
other year should find Campanelia
in the 20-grand class. One writer
has said that Boston's Sammy Jeth-
roe will not hit major league pitch.

Remember when Jimmy Powers,
Daily News columnist with a rated
2-million daily following, wrote in
Jackie Robinson's first Spring tram
ing debut that the ex-Kansas City
- Monarch would do well to hit as
high as .2S0 in the minors, and that
he was not too impressed with his
overall playing ability due to an
,old shoulder injury sustained on the
football field Today, millions re-
gard Robinson as the 1928 baseball
player in all the land.
We think Jethroe, always a crack
hitter from the outset of his sand
lot career, will hit about as we'll as
Larry Dolby or Robby did in their

Brevard County

the A.M.E. Church on Merritt Is
land Sunday, January 29th at $3.50

Representatives from every COM

Island, So. The total amount report
ed for membership was $113. Public
collection was $10.27.
Beautiful music for the occasion
was furnished by the choral group
of Merritt Junior High School, un-
der the direction Of Mrs. Willie
Childs. other interesting numbers
were a welcome address by Mr.. Wal
ton and a reading by Miss Louise
Mcdonald. Devotional services were
led by Rev. G.. w. Girley Of Merritt.
Nick Ford Of Cocoa, a member OF
the Branch Executive Committee,
presided over the meeting.
The principal address was deliv-
cred by Harry T. Moore Of Minis,
secretary of the local Branch and
State Conference Of NAACP
executive secretary Of the Florida
Branches. the speakers reviewed the
great accomplishments Of the
NAACP and presented many facts
to prove that this great organization
is leading the fight for the COM
plete emancipation of the American
Negro. He also emphasized the pow
err Of the ballot and urged his audi
ence to join the movement to get at
least 25O, 900 Florida Negroes regis
tered to vote this year.

We recognized him as one Artie
Biggs, Asbury Park sportsman,
whose letters have appeared in our
Questions down thru
the seasons. Mr.. Biggs had seen the
. newspaper account of the Alp (As-
ISOLATED Press nationwide Mid-cen-
fury Boxing poll which indicated
that Jack Dempsey was the greatest
heavyweight boxer to show from
1900-1950. The note read:
Dear Al Moses:

you as 1 spotted you near the press

Pete White and Cecil Cooke, former
Syracuse university 440 yard sensa-
ton. Tell me in your next column If
you feel as l do that while Jack
Dempsey was a very great fighter,
he should not be rated over Joe
Louis, Gene Tunney or the master
of them all (my humble opinion)
Jack Johnson??"
Just to keep the record straight
before we answer reader Biggs, the
AP poll went as follows:
Dempsey, 251 votes cast by Sc
lected radio announcer and sports
writers; Joe Louis, 103 ballot; Henry
Armstrong, who like Bob Fitzsim-
mons held three world titles, 15;
Gene Tunney, (the man Mr.. Biggs
rates above Dempsey four votes.
Jack Johnson was lost sight Of en-
;tirely as was Ray Robinson, Joe
Cans, Joe Walcott, Sam Langford,
Jim Jeffries, Benny Leonard, George
Dixon, Abe Attell and other greats
of the fight market. With no re-
gard to boyhood heroes. the color
of ones skin or any yardsticks that
make for biased rating, we would
say that Dempsey would have made
it a great fight against Joe Louis
and Sam Langford but we would
have Jared no better than middle
weight Stanley Ketchel did against
the crafty, cunning and quick-think'
Jack Johnson on their best fights.

Sunday Trade Drops
Al Colonial Beach
BY the Assoeiafed Press

COLONIAL BEACH, Va, Aug
14,-There were reports that Ne
groes planned another swimming
party here yesterday but the out
ing failed to materialize. Business
dipped sharply and some visitors
left the beach Ito avoid any more
trouble"
Town officials had been inform
ed by telephone from Washington
that Negroes were chartering
buses for a swimming party at
this Potomac River resort.
Meanwhile, hotel. restaurant
and concession operators agreed
that business was poor and the
crowds were far below customary
week end levels.
The businessmen blamed the
slack in business to the near-riot
that occurred here Saturday, Au-
gust S, because of a Negro SWIM
ming party.
Early in July, the Negroes,
through Attorney Martin A. Mar
tin, of Richmond, had filed a suit
in Federal Court charging dis
elimination on the Colonial Beach
waterfront. Town officials replied
that discrimination did not exist,
and the Negroes planned the
August S beach party as test.
Mr.. Martin announced Satur-
day that no further parties were
planned here. He said the Negroes
were willing to leave the matter
to the courts,

The house fly is a suspect but
he leaves no mark. There were
many parents who were sure
their children got the disease be-

The town council hired a DDT

himself during Office hours and
obtained almost any information

One letter writer to the Enter

that the one way to detect the
carrier of the disease was to as
