Pro School Of:
Baseball Begins
In Florida

At last, the young Negro ball
players who haven't established
themselves in the Negro profess
sional leagues will get an oppor-
tunity to break into professional
Organized Baseball via the Florida
School of Baseball of Williston
Florida, which will have special
school for Negro players with
weekly sessions which are now in
effect throughout April of 1852.
The school will be stated by COM
petent instructors who have played
and managed in professional base
ball, some of whose prOtegeS have
reached the major leagues. Big
league and minor league clubs will
be invited to have their scouts
attend the weekly sessions. Players
with aptitude and ability will be
given professional contracts in the
United States and Canada, which
might be the stepping stone to the
big leagues where their older cOun-
terparts such as Roy Campanella,
Jackie Robinson, Don NeWcombe,
and many others are holding sway
During the past two years, over
$50 students were signed to con-
tracts in professional baseball. The
Florida School of Baseball is the
only school of its kind in existence
which is held all year round and
which is operated on weekly
basis, thus giving the prospective
student an opportunity to select
the session most convenient for
him. 1t also gives the youngsters
an opportunity to brush up on
their baseball knowledge and skill
SC that they can go back to high
school and college and make their
school teams. Also, those boys
headed for the Army or Navy can
enroll in the school and the cap
able players will be given per-
sonal letter of recommendation to
their service baseball team man
ager. All Negro players who wish
to enroll in the school can write to
the Florida School of Baseball,
EP,O. Box TIT, Williston 4, Florida,
and full details will be sent. This
is the only baseball school of its
kind for Negroes in the United

Demos Extend
Olive Branch To
Southerners

Washington, D. G.. (NNPA) -
Frank E. Mckinney, /. newly in
stalled chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, last Thurs
day held out an olive branch to
Southern Democrats who are badly
split from the northern and west
ern wing of Democratic party over
the denomination of President
Truman in 1852.
At a press conference the new
Democratic chairman said he would
get in touch with southern as well
as northern Democrats in congress
to strengthen party liaison.
Asked whether that included
Senators Harry F. Byrd Of Virginia,
and James o. Eastland of Miss,
bitter critics of the administra-
ton, Mckinney replied that "they
are Democrats in my book"
A reporter also asked if he in
cluded Gov. James F. Byrnes of
South Carolina.
I'm chairman of the Demo
cratic party" said Mckinney. "Mr,
Byrnes is a Democrat. I'm going
to do everything in my power to
coordinate the party as a whole
Mckinney said he would spend
the next two months studying
"hot" issues as we'll as reorganiz-
ing the committee staff to "dis-
seminate information tell our
story to the country" He said he
did not yet tknow whether the
South was a ''hot issue"
A reporter asked if he accepted
''the full Fair Deal program, in
Guiding civil rights"
'I'm for whatever the party
says, yes" replied Mckinney. "I'n
going to support party policies and
the platform of the Democratic
party. If I didn't believe that, ]
wouldn't be here"

by committee of two dozen. mem
bers of the Baseball Writers AS
sociation of America, and finished
more than fifty points ahead OF
Stan Musial Of the st. Louis Car
dinals, the league batting champ

Monte Irwin, whose powerful bat
spanked the New York Giants to
the National League pennant and
played such an important role in
the World Series against the New
York Yankees, finished third.
Campanella, father of five chill
dren, a cigar smoker and an in
verterate boW-tie Wearer, is the
second colored player to be so
honored. His selection also marked
the third time that the writer's
picked the No. 1 player from other
than the pennant-winning club
The 31-year old roly-poly player
is liked by every one Plagued by
a succession of injuries, he still hit
ti1irty-three home runs and fin
ished up with a 1925 batting aver
age, second only to Jackie Robin
son on the Dodgers.
Campanella served his appren-
ticeShip with the Baltimore Elit
Giants before getting. his chance
in organized baseball. He broke in
to the Dodger chain with Nashua
in the now-defunct New England
League, caught doubleheaders as
a matter of course, and on one
Sunday buS-riding junket around
Ohio, managed to catch four games
against the indianapolis Clowns.
Nothing to it," reminisced
~Campanella, I'D rather be behind
the plate than sitting on the bench
anyway. If 1 sit around, 1 get

The Dodgers brought him up
from ST Pau1 in the American As

the sagging Brooklyn club. This
year he missed a dozen games be-.

Congress May Probe Cheating At West Point

WASHINGTON, (P) - T h e dismissal of 90 West Point cadets for cheating in exams brought de- mands for congressional investi- gation of the military academy including it's football activities.
 Senator Young R-ND) urged Congress to probe the possibility that over-emphasis on football led to the breakdown of the acad- emy's famed honor system.
 Gen. J. LaWton Collins, army chief of staff, reportedly blamed such over-emphasis in telling law makers of the mass dismissals, largest in the academy's 149 year history. Senators said he hinted that a majority of the academy's game-Winning football players cheated on exams because foot ball practice cut down their op- portunities to study.

O'Dwyer Demands Investigation By Crime Committee

MEXICO CITY, (P)- Ambas- sador William O'Dwyer demanded that the Senate Crime Investigat- ing Committee expose "the forces" which linked his name to a mill lion-dollar fund transfer.
 The Committee issued a state ment in Washington earlier say ing it was satisfied with a State Department explanation that the transfer was a routine payment by Mexico to the United States on it's lend-lease account. The com mittee said it had not spread the original reports.
 The reports, first published by the New York Daily News, said the committee was investigating a million-dollar letter of credit "re- portedly transferred from Mexico to a Manhattan bank for the ac- count of Ambassador O'DWyer," shortly before the committee opened televised hearings in New York last March.

Four Young Poles Fly Bullet-Riddled, Make-shift Airplane Out of Poland
By GUSTAV SVENSSON

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, (P) - Four young Poles, one woman, landed their bullet-riddled, make shift plane in southern Sweden Friday and told of a dramatic es- cape from Red Poland amid gun fire.
 They asked asylum, saying they were fed up" with the communist regime in their homeland.
 Their exploit was less than 24 hours after 12 sailors of the Pol ish navy staged a Baltic mutiny aboard a minesweeper and chose refuge in Sweden.
 The two incidents created spec ulation concerning possible con- nection with the recent visit to Poland of Soviet deputy prime minister V. M. Molotov, who warned in threatening terms against Titoist revolts.
 The four refugees made per- feet landing, despite riddled land ing gear, near Malmoe, and said they escaped after a gunfight with Polish military guards. They told a thrilling story of zig-zagging at 10000 feet through the Baltic clouds to shake off a pursuing military aircraft.
