Joe Louis, ex-heavyweight
champion of the world, was bar
red from playing in the San Di-
ego open golf tournament this
week. PEA President Horton
Smith said the organizations by
laws ban non-Caucasians. Joe
raised cain. He said he would
back his battle for Negro play
ers with cash. If they would call
off the tournament that was ex-
pected to clear $4,000 he would
double the amount.
Wednesday Joe was told he
could play as an invited amateur.
1t is the first time a Negro has
played in a PEA co-spopSored
event.

The idea of boycotting Florida
oranges to avenge the killing OF
the Moore family at Minis, Fla,
as suggested by some of our Nor
thern brethren, is like a two
edged sword. 1t can cut both
ways. There are scores of color
ed folk who own orange groves
in this state, and thousands of
colored folk who earn their
bread by working in Florida
orange groves. Although all of us
abhor the dastardly incident, it
may be good to remember that
sometimes men carry their good
intentions too far, then-boom-
erang!

The Moving Finger

During the past year the amount
contributed to the United Negro
College Funds was $l,3O4, ZOO,
according to reports. This was no
chicken feed, but it has not
done much more than scratch the
surface of what is needed to
make Negro colleges self-sup-
porting. The Fund Committee
meets this week in Pittsburgh,
Pa, to plan for 1852. May the

Mrs. Jacqueline Pung, a 30

self-control, she shook off an
early attack of jitters to defeat
Shirley McFedters. a 21-year -old
UCLA coed from Long Beach,
Calf, 2 and l, in the 36-hole final
matcn.
It was a Shaky-nerve affair
from start to finish, but Shirley's
calm confidence deserted her on
the crucial outgoing nine of the
afternoon round while the older,
more placid Mrs. Pung gained
control.
Mrs. Pung, one of the longest

former links player. She is 20
years old and the mother of two
children who are training to be-
come Swimmers. She works as a
sales clerk in a chain store in

is fireman. Neither she nor her
her opponent in the finals had
even been considered as a possible
winner when the tournament

Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Aug. -30-Properly
awed by a parade of former YAM
KEGS in pre-game ceremonies, the
Mats were properly subdueti, GA,
by the current edition of the New
York club before a crowd of Al $50,
this afternoon.
The champions. helping Allie
Reynolds to his 10th victory with
a 10-hit attack which included
Mickey Nantes 10Th homer and
full game on the second-place
Indians. who lost a night game
in Chicago.
The visitors accumulated IL hits
against the bronzed Reynolds, who
was whipping the Mats for the
fourth time this year, but 10 Of
those blows were singles and Allie
remained the distance as Randy
Gumpert, Don johnson and Joe
Haynes trecked to the mound for
Washington.
Mild Threat in Ninth.
Trailing by three runs entering
the ninth inning, the Mats pro-
noted some anxiety when Floyd
Baker and Jim Busby opened with
singles. They moved along on
Mickey Grasso's infield grounder
and Earl Rapp. batting for
Haynes, scored Baker with a meek
grounder to First Baseman Joe
Collins. The threat died when
Eddie Yost sent a game-ending
grounder to shortstop Phil Riz-
zuto.
Gumpert was no mystery to the
Yankees, who dubbed him for
four runs in the four innings he
was on the scene. Mantle's double
and Collins single gave the Yank-
ees a run in the first inning, but
the Mats tied it up in the second
on Pete Runnels' single, Mickey
Vernon's grounder and the first
of Busbys three singles.
That deadlock was of brief dur
ation, for Mantle opened the
Yankees third with a shot into
the right field stands and the
only reason the Yankees didn't
produce another homer in the
same session was the acrobatic
ability of Jackie Jensen.
RObs Collins of Homer.
Jensen backed against the guard
rail in right field. timed Collins
deep drive perfectly and leaped
to spear the ball and deprive
Joe of home run with a spec
tacular catch.
Gumpert was rescued only tenn
porarily, though, for in the fourth
inning Gene Woodling, Irv Noren
and Gil McDougald singled sue
cessively to produce one run and
Reynolds got Noren across from
third base with fly to Jensen.
The Mats whitfield the deficit to
AZ i'll the sixth with the aid of a
ball-hungry fan. Vernon's hit
down the right field line was
speared by customer, so it be-
came a ground-rule double. Mic.
key then scored on Busby's single.
Busby. who remained rooted to
first base apparently concerned
about whether Vernon would
score, took off belatedly for second
after watching Berra sprawl, then
regain his feet. Jim was an easy
out due to his sleepy performance.
Warm Welcome For Haynes.
| johnson survived the fifth and
sixth innings without damage, but
Haynes came along in the seventh
and the Yankees welcomed him
warmly. Collins singled to right
and Berra waited his home run
into the right field stands.
Gil Coan's double and Jensen's
single trimmed the Yankees adj
vantage to 6-3 in the eighth.
