The hero Of "Park Row" is q

Phineas Mitchell Gene Evans) :,
who wishes to follow in the foot
steps Of Greeley. He peers into his
suds at the corner taproom and
dreams Of publishing a newspaper
which will print the truth, which
someday will print several editions
a day and which will be sold from
something he thinks should be
called newsstands.
The account of his adventures Is
barely under way before his en-

to get into the newspaper busi-

quite a sensational exclusive for

MUNICH, Germany - (ANP)
- Segregation of "brown babies"

varian Ministry of Education.
The question of what to do
about the brown babies - they
are the offspring of American Ne
gro soldiers during World War II
and white German women-has
puzzled Germans and American
authorities here ever since the
war ended. The problem is reach
ing its apex this year and next
year because many of the child

age.
In announcing its policy to
school authorities, the Bavarian
Ministry of Education declared
that the brown babies are to be
treated just like any other child

to be no segregation at any level
nor is there to be any racial dis
elimination.

FANS ORGAN
CRAZE BRINGS
FAME TO


NEW YORK -. (ANP) - An
organ in night club is quite an
oddity. At least it was at one time.
But now, it has become standard
equipment in most Of the nations
intimate bars. For example {.
Jackie Davis, who traded his
piano success for a career as an
organist has established his par
ticular brand Of entertainment in
most of the eastern seaboard's
sleek iazz outlets. With his drum
mer, Bartell Knox and guitarist,
Harry Polk; Davis plays every@
thing from "Bach to Bop and
Boogie Woogie."
Surveys have indicated that his
choice of the organ as the main
stay of his trio was a bright one.
From Atlantic City'S tabled
boardwalk to Broadway'S neon
studied white way and to Holly
woods Vine Street, the former
Sunday School instrument is pro-
viding good music for dimly lit
spots and jump music for Jlve
joints.
AS this craze has grown, so has
the popularity of Davis, who is
one of the most adept of the small
group of 121 Hammond organists
registered with the musicians
local here.
Jackie's imaginative technique
which gives the Hammond a real
beat, has been developed through
years of experience as profess
.sional musician. At 10 he was on
Jacksonville, Fla. radio stations
with his piano and was known as
a jazz prodigy. Later at Florida
A and M he extended his musical
activities to include arranging for
the school band and producing the
annual campus musical show.
After college days there were
many jobs, as a single and as a
trio. Now, at a comparatively
youthful age, Davis is concentra-
ting his experiences and talent on
developing the first great organ
trio for the nations record fans
and gay-life audiences.

pledged their support to a drive to
raise S250,000 to guarantee con-
tinuation of the franchise, with a
prOyiso that the Texans raise the
other half. This does not appear
to be a major problem. The ma

more chips into the kitty, and will

Waiver Rule Offered
To Curb Yankee Type
.Inter-L Deals
BY the Assoeioied Press

~ wv SSSc%'0iSd TISSS
NEW YORK. Oct. 30.-Base-
balls major-minor Executive
Council has drawn up new
waiver rule designed to curb the
sale of star players from one
league to another during the sea-
son.
The move was believed to be
aimed at the New York Yankees,
who in the last several years have
taken advantage of the current
waiver rule by purchasing such
stars as Johnny Mize, Johnny
Sain, Ewell Blackwell and Johnny
Hopp. Each player was instru-
mental in helping to bring a
championship to the Yankees.
The proposed new waiver rule
will require each club to obtain
waivers from the other Is clubs
before it can sell a player to a
club in the other league after July
81. AS the rule reads now, club
need only to receive waivers from
the seven other clubs in it's league
in order to sell player to the
rival circuit for the waiver price
of $4,000.
The Yankees acquired Mize,
Sain and Blackwell for various
amounts. all above the waiver
price, after the July 81 date and
before the September l deadline
when a newly acquired player be-
comes ineligible to participate in
the World Series.
Ratification Necessary.
Commissioner Ford Frick, head
of the Executive Council, pointed
out that the new waiver rule must
be ratified by majority of the
clubs in each league to become
official. The majors will hold their
winter meetings in Phoenix, Ariz.,
in December.
Frick also announced that the
council will recommend to the
Iclubowners adoption of a new
bonus rule and changes in the
player option rule and national
defense clause.
The commissioner declined to
disclose the contents of the newly
proposed bonus rule but elabo-
rated on the other points.
1--WE discussed a new option rule
with the idea of heading off the
quick changes and constant trans
ferring of players from one club
to another (major to minor)," he
said. 1--WE hope to cut down on
the number of options during
one season.
Break for Servicemen.
1--WE also are recommending
greater liberty to servicemen, who
are returning to their clubs in
large numbers now after COM
pleting their tenures in the serv-
ice. AS the rule now reads, a club
is allowed one returning service
man for every five players on its
active roster. We are recommend
t. ing a rule that would allow each
club to have one returning serv-
iceman for every three players on
the roster"
Frick added that q number OF
less important matters were dis
cussed at the meeting, all of which
were placed on the agenda for the
major minor league session at
Phoenix December 1T.

game at Lehigh last week to scout

Agganis had so many visitors in

was a reporter who apparently
suspected Agganis was not there.
"A plane reservation to New York
had been made in case Agganis
would be released in time to play
against Lehigh, but it was not
used.
Boston had snow f1urries yes

was fair and warmer, and fair
weather is expected for the game.
The Maryland team will leave by
chartered plane tomorrow morn
