Council Rules Keep
Richmond in Doubt
On Baseball Future
BY the As.eeioted Press

RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 21.-
BackerS of Richmond's projected
entry in the international League
probably won't know for certain
whether they will have a ball
park until one day before the
deadline for finding one.
Now that the decision has been
made that municipality owned
Parker Field is the only suitable
playing field in the city for Class
AAA baseball, everything depends
on whether City Council will
agree to lease the site.
Rules prevent the nine-man
council from voting on the mat
ter until January 4. If Rich
mond's tentative franchise in
the international is to become
definite, a park must be guaran-
teed by midnight January 5.
Mayor Ed Haddock and the
syndicate Of businessmen charged
with finding the park were
scheduled to meet again today
to talk over the situation. The
Mayor said the group already
was working on a paper to be
presented to City Council at its
next meeting, December %, ask
ing that Parker Field be made
available.
The petition will have to re-
main with the council seven
days. Then Haddock said he
will call a special meeting jan
uary 4 to receive the decision.
The Mayor and his syndicate
seemed confident council will
agree to a lease of Parker Field,
now used for high school sports.
So did Harry Seibold, the
wealthy induStrialist who last
Thursday bought the Richmond
territorial rights for $25, 900 from
Eddie Mooers, who has operated
a Piedmont League team here
since 1882.
The field now has stands seat
ing 4,048-including 1000 box
seats. The stands would be ex-
panded to seat about 10000, in
cluding 1000 box seats.

life story of the pastor of a Pres

out the sordidness and unreheved
bitterness that characterized

With no pretense at literary
style this quiet-spoken Negro min
lister tells his story as If he were

their silent hatred of the whites
who despised them, of their gangs
and their battles and escapades.
He takes us North with him to
the slums of Cleveland and
Youngstown, which had appeared
at a distance like the promised
land but offered to a sensitive
Negro rebuffs, restrictions, and
determinations that rankle the
soul. His struggle for an educa-
