A somewhat moderate total OF
IA cases were listed for trial In
Judge L. E. Thomas Municipal
Court Monday morning. On the
following Tuesday morning the
total took a nose dive and fell
down to a mere 10. Probably it's
due to the excessive heat, or
probably it's due to the general
lull in activities during the sum-
mer. Whatever it is, the result is
certainly reflected in the decrease
in the number Of cases listed for
trial in our local court.
Probably the most amusing OF
the trial heard both Monday and
Tuesday, was the case OF Dore-
tina Lumpkins who was charged
with assault and battery with a
bottle on Carrie Mcqueen. The
incident occurred on Sunday, July
IL at 633 NV goth st.
Testimony during the trial as
presented by Mrs. Mcqueen dis
closed that Miss Lumpkins is a
roomer in her home. She told the
court that Miss Lumpkins had
gotten behind in her rent and she
,Mrs. McQueen) had ordered her
to either pay up or get out. An
argument arose between the two
over the rent. During the argu-
ment, Miss Lumpkins became
very abusive, used vile profanity
and finally hit Mrs. Mcqueen on
the head with a large bottle, in
nicting serious damage.
In her defense, Miss LumpkinS
denied using any profanity, and
told the court while she did hit
Mrs. Mcqueen, she did not hit
! her with a bottle, but small
stick. She further explained to
the court that the whole diStur-
bance arose when she caught Mrs.
Mcqueen and her miss Lump
kin's) boyfriend, who is known as
Jitterbug behind closed doors and
in a compromising manner. She
added that Jitterbug ran and she
hit Mrs. Mcqueen in a fit of ang-
er. Mrs. Mcqueen denied this
charge.
Judge Thomas told Miss Lump
kins that even if her charges were
true, she would still have no right
to hit Mrs. Mcqueen, but the
judge indicated that he did not
believe Miss Lumpkins' story.
After a bit of advice the judge
sentenced Miss Lumpl1inS to z
days, SIS or an additional 80 days.
Among other cases heard and
disnosed of Tuesday were the
following:
Willie Butler - charged with
being drunk, dismissed.
Charles Lemons - charged with
disorderly conduct, sleeping on
private property, and with va

principal, and the teacher or the
principal must have a conference

'The pupils should understand

ing on the shins, knuckles or

Super-Fdst for Celebrities

Seven straight days of 90-plus
heat have turned Woodmont into

was sharp revision in the pre-
dicted score for the winner in
the Celebrities tournament start

A half-dozen or more of the

hot for any of them to play 18
holes. Walter Burkemo, the PGA

the fighting ex-Marine from
Quantico, has been booked to
meet Calvin Price of Washing
ton in the six-round light
heavyweight semifinal before the
Gene Smith-Bill Bossio feature
bout at Turner's Arena Saturday
night.
The Thompson fight replaces
one originally scheduled for
Featherweight Jimmy Cooper.
Promoter Vince Mcmahon could
find no suitable opponent for
Cooper, so Jimmy is off the card.
Cooper. however. will have
some part in the proceedings as
he will be a sparring partner for
Bossio when that Pittsburgh
fighter comes here Thursday to
complete his training. Bossio,
now training at AL Braverman's
gym in New York. will hold a
public workout Thursday at
Turner's Arena.
Reports from New York are
that Bossio is a perpetual motion
fighter with a good body attack.
Meanwhile Smith. who re-

| Injured Knee Likely
To SideIine LeBaron
For Several Weeks
By Lewis F. Atchison
Sior Stoff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. Eddie Le-
Baron's injured knee put him on
the Sidelines today, with the
gloomy possibility that he'll re-
main there for a couple of weeks.
Unable to get going in exhibi-
ton losses to the Los Angeles
Rams and San Francisco Forty
Miners, LeBaron now faces the
added handicap of bad knee
which was injured Sunday in San
Francisco. It could be a serious
blow to his pro football career.
The injury has been diagnosed
as a strained internal lateral
ligament, but could be something
worse like a torn cartilage, which
would require surgery. Eddie
may know more about it today
after a thorough examination
here.
Scarbath to Take Over.
Meanwhile, Coach Curly Lam
beau announced that LeBaron
will not play against the Pack
ers in Green Bay Saturday
night. And with the next three
games crammed into nine days,
there is reason to believe he
will not be back in action be-
fore the Redskins wind up their
transforming tour in Baltimore
September 20.
With LeBaron out, Jack Scar
bath OF Maryland will get the
starting quarterback assignment
Saturday night. Scarbath, whose
fractured index finger on his
throwing hand still bothers him.
was not impressive against the
Miners. He COMPLETED
none of five passes and failed to
get the team moving on the
ground. Jack explained later
that the Redskins linemen
didn't place themselves properly
on his split-T plays, running any
chance of making them work.
His finger obviously troubled
him, too, although the former
Terp didn't offer this as an alibi.
Scarbath is supposed to do all
of the quarterbacking against
Green Bay, but Lambeau and
George Marshall are engaged in
a half-hearted tug-o-war about
using the veteran Harry Gilmer
at the position in relief. They'll
have no choice if Scarbath is
hurt.
Lambeau has decided to take
Bill Dudley out of a players uni
form and make him a full-time
coach. Bullet Bills only chores
as a player were to kick field
goals and boot points after
touchdowns. His lone field goal
try against the Forty-NinerS was
blocked, and, as Lambeau pointed
out, the Redskins aren't scoring
enough to keep an extra-point
specialist on the roster.
Casimer (Slug) Witucki, bar
rel-shaped guard of the 1851
Redskins, will rejoin the squad
today. Slug's football career was
interrupted by a summons to
duty with the Air Force.
Lambeau and his assistants
spent most of yesterday discuss
ing ways of getting the lead out
OF the squads shoes. Curly
complained that the team looked
dead" on the field, and showed
no appetite for the work.
Although rockies were respon-
sible for many of the mistakes
in the TO defeat by the Forty
Miners, Lambeau wasn't too
happy with some of the vet
Grams.
