AUTO ACCIDENT
HURTLES DRIVER
INTO COURTROOM
One Found Guilty of Following
Too Closely; Others Hand Sig
nal Found Questionable

AS an aftermath of an acct
dent at Kill Devil Hills, recently,
Alonzo O'Neal Willis of Hatteras
was fined SIS and costs on a
charge of driving too close be-
hind another vehicle, and James
P. Mcdaniel of Wanchese, charg-
ed with failure to give a proper
sinai, was required to pay court
costs.
In the case against Willis,
Mcdaniel testified that he was
driving south on Highway 1853,
signaled for left turn into
Gregory's service station and
when he turned the Willis car,
coming from behind, struck his,
and plunged into one of the gas
pumps. R. c. Holt of the high
way patrol, who investigated the
accident also testified, in both
cases. In the case against Nc
Daniel, Willis testified that ne
interpreted McDaniel's hand sig
nal for a right hand turn and
attempted to pass on the left.
Holt said that McDaniel's win
dow was only about half down,
so that he could not put his arm
straight out, but that apparent
ly he did not bend his elbow
for a correct right hand turn
signal.
John J. Costello, stationed at
Weeksville, pleaded guilty to a
charge of causing disturbance
at the Casino several weeks ago
and was fined $40 and costs.
Joseph White, Jr., Is, and
Mitchell Washington, colored,
were charged with disturbing a
school play. White pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to 80 days,
suspended upon payment of $25
and costs Washington, being
only Is, was turned over to juv-
emile court, with hearing set
for 4 Thursday afternoon.
Two other cases involved
Lloyd Meekins and Jerry Bel
McClease, colored. Meekins was
charged with assault with a
deadly weapon (shotgum and
after evidence was presented
the court allowed a motion of
the prosecuting attorney to
amend the warrant to read
with intent to kill" which
would make the case a felony.
The court bound Meekins over
to superior court and placed him
under $500 bond.
McClease was found guilty
and fined $40 and costs on a
charge of assaulting Lloyd Meek
ms with a knife. His lawyer
served notice of appeal and he
was put under $50 bond.

kid becomes superhuman in a
sports arena - when there's a
crowd around to watch him
according to Commissioner Bert
Bell of the National Football
League.
But let the crowds stay home
and watch the kid perform on
television in an empty arena,
Bell observes, and the lack of
crowd enthusiasm will cause the
performances of competitors to
deteriorate.
So testified the commissioner
yesterday in the Governments S
antitrust suit against the league
for restricting television.
Federal Judge Alan K. Grim
brought up the subject of compe-
tition in empty stadia after Bell
toned down somewhat his previ-

TV would sound the death knell

VERO BEACH, Fla, Feb. 81
A beautiful baseball feud be-
tween rival managers in the Ma
tional League is in the making
and it could go on delighting
fans all season long.
Chuck Dresser, manager of the
champion Brooklyn Dodgers,
heard what Steve O'Neill of the
Phillies told reporters concern
ing the pennant race this season.
Talking to several newspapermen
at his teams training camp at
Clearwater, O'Neill had his Phil
lies finishing IL this season and
predicted the Dodgers wouldn't t
be lucky enough to ride into the
pennant on the backs of the Sec
ond division teams for a second
straight year. Last season Brook
lyn beat the second division
teams 81 times in 81 games.
"All I know" Dresser replied,
"is that Mike Kelly, my old man
ager at st. Paul. once told me
all you've got to do to win a
pennant is to break even with
the contenders and wallop the
daylights out of those second
division teams. That was John
McGraW'S system and he won
more pennants than any other
manager, including O'Neill.
Furthermore, O'Neill's club
had the same chance against the
Evening star., 1953-02-27

As Dresser Retorts to O'NeM

second division teams as we had.
AS far as I know, the Phillies
played them the same number
of games. Whose fault is it that
they couldn't beat 'em like we
II seem to remember another
thing. We played the Yankees
right down to the final out in
the final game before they beat
us in the World Series last fall.
And what about the Phillies in
1850 against the same Yankees?
They haven't dented the plate
yet, have they?"
And if O'Neill wants to know
another thing that won't happen
again." Dresser continued, you
can tell him that Robin Roberts
won't beat us six times again
as he did last year. Look at
some of those scores he beat
us-8-4 and 9-3. We're going
to have better pitching this year
and we're going to win some of
those games we lost to Roberts.
Here's something else that
will happen that hasn't hap
pened. The Dodgers are going
to win two pennants in a row.
It's been a long time since a
National League pennant WIN
ner repeated. That's just what
we're going to do in '53. Tell
that to O'Neill."
Now it's O'Neill'S turn.

Bell Says TV Ends Incentive
To 'Superhum0n' Brand of Play

football would go on with or
without radio and TV, but not
with the same class to which the
public has become accustomed.
If television was unrestricted.
Bell said. the top clubs probably
could get sponsors. but other
teams would be unable to tele-
wise for lack of sponsors.
Bell reiterated that salaries
would be cut about 40 per cent
and the public would get the
shoestring type of pro football
played 20 years ago.
The commissioner told of a
prediction by the late Mike ia
cobs (once the Nations top box
ing promoter) that world cham
pionship fights would be staged
for 500 people in a television stu
dio and millions of others at
home.
Il hope I'm not in sports If
that day actually ever arrives, 3"
Bell said. The enthusiasm of a
crowd at a stadium or arena
makes a kid superhuman. The

Howard Baseball Coach to Get
7ryout With Heurich Brewers

Negro National League and Ne
gro American League.
The Industrial League has
been regarded in recent years
as the top sandlot loop of Wash
ington, with the Heurich Brew
ers as the top club. The Brew
ers have won the city champion
ship twice in the last three years.
Although there never has been
a Negro player in the Industrial
League, racial integration in
sandlot baseball started two
years ago when a team from the
Metro League, a Negro outfit,
played in the city championship
series for the first time. The
Metro League again was repre-
sented last summer and johnson
was a pitcher for the Royals
in the Metro League playoffs.
If johnson sticks with the
Brewers this season, however, he
will be the first Negro on a sand
lot team here in leagues here
tofore made up only of white
players.
Johnson, who also is SWIM
ming coach and assistant foot
ball coach at Howard. is grad
uate of Springfield (Mass.) Col
lege. His first summer after
graduating IN 1910 was spent
with the Philadelphia Stars of
the Negro National League. He
has been at Howard since 1916
and in 1850 pitched for In
dianapolis of the Negro Ameri-
can League.
During his stay in Washington
he has pitched for a number
of Negro independent and league
teams. Last summer, with the
Royals, he pitched both games
in the city title series. He was
beaten, 80, by Used-Car Dealers
in IL innings. and by the Brew
ers, also 80. in 10 innings.
