Virginia League
Seeking Negro
BaIIpIayers

LYNCHBURG, Va. - CAMP
The Piedmont League is in the
market for some good Negro play
ers, it was disclosed here last week
The league would like to secure
two or three Negroes and may have
that number in its playing ranks
for the 1852 season.
According to President Wallace
McKenna, of the Lynchburg Cardi-
mails, the subject was brought up
recently at a meeting of league
directors in Norfolk. At that time
two club presidents said openly
they were trying to obtain one
Negro player each, both of them
catchers. A third sclub president
admitted that he would like to ex-
pertinent with a Negro player if
he could find one of Class B caliber.
McKenna would not reveal the
names of the clubs for publication
1t is generally known, however,
that several clubs in the Piedmont
area and some in other southern
sections have been anxious for sew
eral years to secure Negroes for
their teams, but for several reasons
have not made any move in that
direction.
Veterans lin the baseball field
generally give two main reasons
for current interest in good Negro
players. They point out the fact
that Jackie Robinson first Negro
to be signed up by big league
team, was an attraction for larger
crowds from the start. He earned
his pay and money for the Brook
lyn Dodgers by drawing more fans
to the games.
Since Jackie was signed up by
the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Major
leagues have discovered a number
of good Negro players. Two or
three are found each year and the
growth of Negro baseball leagues
provides better opportunities for
the development of Negro baseball
players of major league caliber.

Court Ruling Proposed
On Liquor Store Name

The District Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board ruled today that
controversies over the use Of sim
liar names by liquor dealers are
matters for the courts to decide.
The decision was handed down
on complaints brought by Fred
Burka, proprietor of a liquor store
at 1895 Wisconsin avenue NV,
against Burka's Connecticut Ave-
nue. Liquor Store, 1900 Connecticut
avenue NV.
Fred Burka, board officials said.
testified that confusion first arose
after his uncle, Harry Burka,
opened the Connecticut avenue
store in March. 1850.
Testimony, the board said,
brought out that Harry Burka
entered into a contract several
months ago with Nathan Wasser-
man to sell his store for $100, 900,
with the proviso that the name of
the store be retained. Fred Burka
protested, but Withdrew objec-
tions after board hearing. When
Mr.. Wasserman applied for a 1858

Der 5, the board said, Fred Burka
again protested.

mously ruled that the protest "was

appeal his firing on Wednesday, II
was learned today.
Sylvester Shaw of 1744 Lyman
place NE. was fired on an insub-
ordination charge, according to a
terminal spokesman. The charge
involved Mr.. Shaw's refusal tc
leave locker room where he was

The incident occurred Novem-

staging.
To Avoid Word Gala"
The inaugural officials empha-
sized that they would avoid use
of the word gala" to describe
this event. That was the term
used in 1949 for the principal
entertainment program arranged
by the Democrats.
Mrs. Summers, who lives al
Capitol Holly Oaks, Rockville. is
the wife of the well-known sports.
man and financier. She is q
member of the board of the

active in various Republican
groups. She is credited with orig.
mating the Lincoln Day box sup.
pers held annually as a party rally
to arouse enthusiasm and pro.
mote campaign contributions.
1t was announced, meanwhile
that members of the Senate anc
House are entitled to four invi.
tations each to the Inaugural Bal

legislators may buy general ad'
mission tickets that sell for ST:

tions for the boxes, which accom-
modate eight persons, will not be

The demand for tickets to the

requested members of the Repub.
lican National Committee and the
G. o. P. State chairmen to pre-.
pare lists of names and addresse:
of those to be sent invitations or

Mr.. Tompkins said that during

many young people taking drugs
were interviewed. He found that
the heroin they took had beer

true addiction.
