heavy hitting has given George
town Prep a stranglehold on the
baseball title. The Little Hoyas
have already beaten second-place
st. Johns twice and the other
clubs once. A win over Gonzaga
today at Prep would just about
elinch the crown for the Garrett
Park school.
Pitcher Bill Nolan has been the
main cog in the Preps' machine,
having won five Of the six league
games.
Bill has pitched three five-hit-
ters, a two-hitter and a no-hit-
ter. He held st. Paul's hitless
in a six-inning game that was
called by mutual consent" with
Prep ahead 17-2.
That l7-2 is no unusual score
for Georgetown Prep. Three other
games ended IT'S, 1874 and 11-2.
The two close ones were 80 IN
the first st. Johns game with
Nolan holding the Johnnies to
two hits and 5-I over Gonzaga
when Bill allowed five safeties.
Ed Claxton's booming bat,
helped by Catcher Pat Haley and
the other Prep sluggers. has sup.
piled plenty of power. In one game
Ed Smacked a homer, triple and
a double and his slugging has
been consistent. Haley won the
first st. Johns game with a
timely double and all the Little
HoyaS have been coming through
at the plate.
Claxton's a useful fellow. They
gave Nolan a rest against St.
Anthony's and who took the
mound? Claxton, of course, and
he tossed five-hit ball while
pounding out four hits to lead
his club to a IT'S win.
The golfers have been equally
as impressive. They are undefeat-
ed in Metropolitan League &C
ton with a SO mark and are
leading Montgomery Blair. 40.
for first place with st. Johns
right behind at 20.
The two league leaders met the
other day and with Prep leading
40 and three foursomes still on
the course, the match was called
because of darkness.
Now there's a big rhubarb with
Blair demanding the match be
started all over and Prep holding
out for a continuation at the poinc
it was stopped. There's possi-
bility the rematch may be delayed
until the end of the season but
the Prep golfers will be favored no
matter when it's played.
The Little Hoyas would welcome
d title for change and two would
come as real surprise. The ques-
ton is who's going to keep them
from the double crown and the
answer is probably no one.

linterhlgh athletic system were
discussing the low-hit pitching
performances that have been the
rule in high school baseball and
trying to find a reason.
When such pitching perfor-
mances occur as four no-hitters
and two one-hitters in a single
day and a total Of nine hits In six
games on another afternoon, there
is cause for wonder.
Often the hurlers are ahead Of
the batters in the early season,
but now the campaign is well un-
der way and still the hitters aren't
connecting consistently. A few
years back big scores were the
order.
One official thought the cause
was lack Of seriousness in the
hitters. He claimed when he was
playing 10 years ago, every one
was eager for practice and now
the boys take every opportunity
to get out of the afternoon chores.
The pitchers on the other hand.
his argument went. are specialists
and take more pride in their ef-
fort. Also the coach knows the
hurler is his bread and butter and
makes him toe a narrower mark.
Maybe that's not the real reason,
but certainly the pitchers so far
have had it all over the sluggers.
Other baseball leagues could
take a page or two from the
Northern Virginia Group l loop
which is organized like a pro-
fessional league.
The coaches association in
Northern Virginia got together in
1948 and decided organization was
definitely needed. They elected
Pete Rockwell. Washington-Lee,
the president, with proviso that
the leagues winning coach would
hold the position each year. So
far Rockwell'S Generals have kept
him in Office and under his direc-
ton an effective system has been
developed.
The league has its own balls
stamped Northern Virginia Inter-
scholastic League and only these
are used for loop games. Pitchers
can be sure they're going to toss
the same type ball they've been
accustomed to hurting.
Another worthwhile proviso is
a set pre-game practice schedule.
The league plays all night games
and each team knows exactly
when it will take the field for
hitting and fielding. That pre-
vents the home team from using
most of the practice time which
too often is the case In high
school games.
Coaches may station themselves
in the coaching boxes under
league rules but they must be in
uniform. This makes for a we'll
dressed team from the coach
down and has it's effect on the
diamond in better base-running.
These and other league features
have done much to make Northern
Virginia baseball some of the best
in the area and if adopted by
other loops could improve the
game all around Washington.

guard on the 1850 football team,

Six Negro Cops
Hailed Before Jury
In Racket Probe

CHICAGO - Six Negro police
men, all stationed at the Wabash
Avenue station in the heart Of Chi
cago's black belt, were summoned
to appear before the county grand
jury here Thursday, to answer
questions about their possible con
nection with the numbers racket.
OF the SIX, only two were called
to give testimony, the other four
being dismissed with instructions
to appear when called later. The
two testifying were Almus Stew
art, a policeman for IA years, and
James Foster, As, a detective
According to the states attorney
office, which launched an investi-
cation netting the indictment of IL
policy boases, number of Wabash
Avenue policemen are to be called
in to testify as to their assets,
liabilities, income and spending.
This move is being made to ascer-
| tam II any officer were or are
getting payoffs from policy opera
tors.
Both Foster and Stewart signed
waivers of immunity before testi-
/ flying. They had been told that any
policeman who refused to sign a
waiver or answer questions about
financial affairs would be fired.
Stewart said he had no real
estate, but he did have a safe de
post box with a little money in it.
Foster, on the other hand, said he
has small home on which he owes
quite a bit" He related he made
the down payment on the home
from a reward he received for
capturing slayers of milk driver
Both said they had not been re-
ceiving payoffs from policy barons.

u. OF Louisville
Plans To Hire
Negro Advisor

LOUISVILLE, Ky CAMP -
When Louisville Municipal College
closes down next month and its
Negro students are integrated into
the student body of the University
of Louisville, a Negro faculty
member will remain to become adj
visor to colored students.
This announcement was made
last week by Eli H. Brown, III,
chairman of the university board
of trustees.
Students and faculty members
of the closing Negro school will
be asked to recommend a person
for the post. Favored at this
time is DR.. Charles H. Parrish,
Jr., now chairman of Municipal's
administrative committee and pro-
fessor of sociology.
DR.. Parrish is one of four full
professors at the colored school.
All four have doctorate degrees.
Announcements in connection
with the fate of other members of
the defunct schools faculty also
were made by Brown.
He said the university is now
seeking Ford Foundation fellow
ships for the Negro faculty mem
bers who will accept them. Appli-
cations already have arrived at
his office he said.
In the meantime the schools
seven faculty members through at
torneys are seeking employment
with the university or $4,000 in
severance pay. According to DR..
Parrish, none of them have found
other jobs yet.
The board has done nothing
about these teachers requests.
Originally, it voted to give the
instructors IA months notice and
two months severance pay.
All these actions are result of
the university's voting to discon-
tinue the Louisville Municipal Ne
gro College in the light of Ken
tucky's new state law allowing col
leges in the state to admit col
cred students if they so desire.

president Of the National Associa-

an organization which disbanded
early this year because it had
achieved its primary objective of
migrating Negro nurses in the
profession
Her work was characterized by
wisdom, vision and courage and re-
fusal to equivocate," the citation
asserts. "Her energetic, fortnight
and far-sighted activities resulted
IN the Indignation of colored nurses,
equalization of salaries and work
ing conditions on all levels in this
country. Upon completion of this
work she was instrumental in dis
solving the Association because it
had completed the democratic aims

activities she had exemplified

The award will be presented to
Mrs. Staupers on June 20 in Allan

ton of the NAACP. Mrs. Staupers
will be the fourth woman to re-
ceive this award, established by the

women medalists include the late
