Harlem Baseball
Fans Indignant
Over Yankees
Snub OF Vic Power

NEW YORK -(GlobaD- Har-
lem sports fans this week were
bordering the fate of Vic Power,
sensational young PLAYER with the
New York Yankees Kansas City
farm club, whose brilliant perform
ance in the American Association,
many feel, has entitled him to a
try in the big time. Only last week,
the Yankees called up four Young
players; an infielder, jim Bride
weser from Syracuse; Bill Miller,
pitcher from Kansas City; Gus
Triandos, catcher from Birming
ham; and Steve Kraly, a pitcher
also from Birmingham.
Local fans contend that if the
Yankees needed strength. they
should have called on the versa tile
Young Power, who not onlv plays
the infield and the outfield with
equal facility, but has made quite
a record, leading his circuit in hits,
total bases, runs batted in, and in
batting average.
The Yankee ball clubs front of
flee has been smarting ever since
this past winter when Jackie Rob
inson, in a television interview,
openly accused the management of
the World Champions, of race pre-
JUDGE. The Yankee answer to the
charge was that they did not need
to bring up any new players. that
they had a strong club, and that if
and when they felt the need of
bolstering, they would bring up any
player in their farm system, what
ever his race.
Since the Yankee team has seen
the need for bringing up additional
strength at this point in the sea
son, Negro fans felt certain that
young Vic Power would be given
a chance; but recent events seem
to indicate that he will not make
the big time circuit this year.
In the meantime, rumOrs were
circulated, later denied, that the
management of the Chicago White
Sox had made an offer for Pow
er. General Manager Frank c..
Lane. in denying that such an of
fer had been made, however, said
that his team would like to have
him."
This has spurred further COM
ment from local fans who feel that
if there is chance for Power to
play in the Major Leagues, the
Yankees should release him and
give him a chance to play with
someone else. Lane said further
that when he talked to George
Weiss of the Yankee Management
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-08-22

about Power last March, Weiss
said that when Powe~ is "ready
for major league ball, he'll get
try with the Yankees"
Local fans, taking all these
points into consideration, together
with the fact that one o. the play
ers recently brought up was from
Powers own ball club, have been
bitter in their denunciation of the
Yankee management. They say
openly that Vic Power has gotten
raw DEAF from the Yanks. One
of them said, at seems the Yam
KEGS don't want to give the boy
chance in their own club, but they
realize he's ready if for no other
reason than the fact that other
teams have become interested in
him. Maybe they are afraid if
they release him, he'll be back to
haunt them. 1t has happened be
fore, | guess, that clubs have re-
leased players only to have trouble
with them as rivals the following
season"

Awaits Trial After
Run-in. With Brother
BY The Associated Pres1

MURPHY. N. c., Oct. o.
Bishop Homer Tomlinson of the
Church of God today was fast
ing" somewhere: awaiting trial
next month after another re-
ligious run-in with his brother
Milton.
Bishop Tomlinson, 81, landed
in Jail here yesterday after he
attempted to smash f1ve-foot

hearing He did not say where
he was going to do his fasting.
The shrine is called Fields of

There he relieved" Milton as
overSeer of the Church of God of

shrine, which he said had been
made into "idolatry."
While a crowd of about 100
watched, the bishop struck one
of the concrete, blocks two blows
with a sledgehammer. Sheriff
M. G. Crawford arrested him for

American Patriotic
In Ho|ohan Staying,
Italian Court Told
By the Assoeioted Press

NOVARA, Italy, Oct. ga
court-appointed lawyer today
demanded acquittal of former
United States Sergt. Carl Lo
Dolce. on trial in absentia here
on a charge of numbering his
commanding officer behind en-
env lines.
The lawyer, 30 year old
Claudio Cocico, declared that Lo
Dolce, of Rochester. N. Y, had
"acted for superior patriotic
aims" when he allegedly pumped
two bullets into the head of
Mai. William Holohan of New
York in 1914.
Mr.. Cocico was the first of
nine defense lawyers to sum up
the case in which another Amer
ican. former 1t. Aldo Icardi of
Pittsburgh, Pa, also is on trial
in absentia, and three Italians
are on trial in person.
In a bitter summation yester-
day, Italian Prosecutor Alessan-
dro CaSalenga demanded life i'm
priSonment for the two Ameri-
cans-the maximum penalty un-
der Italian law. Even if con-
victed they cannot be forced to
return to Italy to serve the SEN
tence. United States courts re-
fused to extradite them for
trial here
Called "Political Crime"
Mr.. Casalenga asked the court
to impose a 24-year prison SEN
tence on Aminta Migliari, one
of the three former Italian par
tisanS on trial, and demanded
terms of % years and 4 months
for the other two, Gualtiera Toz-
zini and Giuseppe Mannini.
In his summation Mr.. Cocico
said the whole case is a political
crime" He said Lo Dolce was
"a weak personality completely
under the spell of Icardi and was
convinced that Maj. Holohan
was bringing the members of his
mission to a sure death.
When Lo Dolce shot Holohan
he thought he was serving his
country" Mr.. Cocico declared.
A series of witnesses who have
taken the stand since the trial
opened October 19 have testified
that Icardi engineered the death
of Maj. Holohan behind Nazi
lines in Northern Italy because
the intelligence major refused to
supply Communist partisans
with arms.
Seen as Trial of Lies.
Pietro Chiovenda, appointed by
the court to defend both Lo Dolce
and Icardi, followed Mr.. Cocico
in summing up the defense case.
This is a trial of lies and is
completely useless" he asserted.
I'VE are wasting time and
money because everyone knows
this is a cloak and d-dagger trial
in which secret agents of two
or three intelligence services or
maybe more are concerned" He

Chamber Official Sees
Continued Prosperity

The American people can look
forward to continuing prosperity
in 1854, although business may
suffer a mild decline, a United
States Chamber of Commerce
official declared yesterday.
DR.. Thomas Johnson, a Cham
ber economist, told a meeting
of the Washington Chapter of
the Military Chaplains' Associa-
ton at Fort McNair that busi-
nessmen are unanimous in the
belief that soft spots" have
developed in the country's
economy.
Nevertheless, he said, although
competition will be keener and
some auto dealers may go broke,
the general economy will remain
healthy.
He predicted farm net income
will remain the same as this
years from $12 to $13 billion
although cash receipts may drop
about 81 billion.
Farmers have been caught in
scissors" he said. Their in
come has dropped a third since
1916, although costs have fallen
only l per cent"
Money and credit will be plen-
tiful, DR.. johnson said. This
will lead to a continued high
level of residential building, for
which there is still great demand,
he added.
