.Turpin Wins British
Version OF World Title

LONDON - CAMP - Randy
Turpin of England defeated
Charley Humez of France to win
the British version of the middle
weight championship of the world
in Is round bout in which the
winner showed little aggressive
ness.
A full house of $4,000 fans who
paid more than $255, 900 cheered
the loser as he tried hard to rally
himselfbehind a losing cause. Tur-
pin was too good a boxer and
puncher for the Frenchman,
however.
wake UP Randy, wake up"
was the cry of the crowd in the
later rounds as Turpin was con-
tent to hold his lead.
Several times during the fight
it appeared that one more punch
would finish Humez, but Turpin
never came in for the kill.
Throughout the battle, Turpin
had his opponent bleeding from
cuts above both eyes and on his
nose.
Although the British say Tur-
pin is the 160-pound champion,
the rest of the world recognized
him as a finalist in an elimination
tournament to find a successor to
a crown vacated by Ray Robin
son.
He is to meet the winner of the
June 10 bout between Paddy
Young and Carl (Bobo) Olson at
Madison Square Garden in New
York for the undisputed cham
pionship. This bout is likely to
take place in New York in Sep

RIGHT TO

TOLEDO, o. - CAMP - The
right of the Toledo Boxing Com
mission to suspend a fight man
ager may be subjected to a court
est.
Ed Hackley, the fight manager,
was banned for six months fol-
lowing a bout in which he refus-
ed to remove bandages from the
arms of featherweeight Pies Gil
more.
His attorney, J. Slater Gibson,
commended that the action was
illegal and demanded that the
commission rescind the ban.
After a heated hearing last
week Gibson warned the COM
mission:
"Pll see you in court"
The suspension was the out
come of a fight between Gilmore
and Eddie Marotta, White, Cleve-
land, May IL in the Toledo Sports
Arena. The fight was a prelim-
mary bout between Ezzard
Charles and Billy Gillian.
Marotta, was awarded the fight
via disqualification. Gilmore's
purse was withheld by the COM
mission, but restored after hear
ing.
Gibson, who brought along
shorthand reporter to take down
the proceedings, argued that the
commission rules and regulations
say nothing about its authority
to suspend a fight manager.

CLEVELAND
BROWNS SOLD TO
NEW OWNERS

CLEVELAND - CAMP - The
fabulous Cleveland Browns, the
team that brought democracy TO
professional football, have been
sold for 100000 1t was an
nounced by its founder, Mickey
Mcbride last week.
The new owners are a syndi-
cate which includes Ellis Ryan,
former president. of the Cleveland
Indians baseball club. Ellis Is vice
president of the Browns, and
Dave r. Jones Is president.
The Browns are rated one of
the most successful pro clubs, ar
tistically and financially in foot
ball history. They won four
straight championships for the old
All American conference and one
in the National league. The past
two years they have been run
nerups in the National league.
Introducing TO the football
world such great Negro stars as
fullback Marion Motley, guard
Bill Willis and punter Horace Gil
lom, the Browns every season
have featured its players witaout
regard to race. Their use of COL
ored players along with Negro
stars featured with other clubs
in the All American conference
forced clubs in the old National
league TO drop their unwritten bar
on dark skinned players.
When the All American confer
ence started in 1946 II was rare
10 see Negro player on the grid
iron in the National league, but
today nearly every club in the
league will have one Negro star.

JIM PENDLETON
PROVES SELF A
WIFI ON DEFENSE

NEW YORK - (ANP)-Twice
in one game last week, Jim
Pendleton, reserve Milwaukee
outfilder, demonstrated why
Charley Grimm puts him in the
left pasture in those tight games.
Big Monte Irwin whanged a
single to deep left. Pendleton re-
covered, shot a whistling liner
10 shortstop Logan and Monte,
trying to stretch that hit was an
easy out.
In the eighth inning, Whitley
Lockman hit what looked like q
sure double into the left field
corner. Fans saw Pendleton chas-
ing the ball and yelled for Lock-
man to take two. Pendleton re-
covered deep in left field, whirled
and with a sensational throw
nipped Lockman just as he slid
into second base.
Pendleton, once property of the
Dodgers, was sought by Detroit,
but the front office turned down
the proposed trade and Jim was
sent to Boston in the trade that
brought Russ Meyer to the Dod-
gers.

Cotton States League TOPush
Fight Against Negro Players

HELENA, Ark. - (ANP) -
Despite the ruling by President
George Trautman of the National
Association of Professional (min-
orr Baseball leagues that no min
or league has any rule against Ne
groeS playing, the Cotton States
Class c loop declared last week
that it will continue its fight to
keep Negroes out of the loop.
President AL Haraway of the
Cotton States league announced
that the circuit will appeal
Trautman'S ruling ordering the
playing of a game scheduled for
May 20, but forfeited by Hot
Springs to Jackson, Miss. because
Hot Springs listed the name of
jim TugerSon, a Negro pitcher,
on its roster.
Haraway declared:
"Trautman's decision will be
appealed to the executive COM
mittee of the National AsSocia-
ton of Professional Baseball
leagues"
He objected to Trautman's
voiding Of an agreement be-
tween the Hot Springs Bathers
and the other clubs in the league
in which the Arkansas club said
it would not sign Negro for the
1853 season.
This action was taken April IA
when five Mississippi clubs OBJ
jected to the use of Jim and Lee
ander Tugerson, two brothers who
came from the Indianapolis
Clowns of the Negro American
league. AS result of their threats
to outlaw the Bathers from the
league, the BatherS sent the
brothers to their Knoxville, Tenn.
farm club in the Glass d Noun
tain States league.
The Bathers recalled Jim when
they found themselves in the
second division and in need of
pitching help.

Finally in view of the general
concern over the large amount of
idle land throughout the Island,
much of which is suited only for
grazing, it should be pointed out
that the five per cent tax on live
stock represents an added obsta-
Gle to any corrective program for
rendering this land agriculturally
useful. Various means of forcing
such lands into more productive
uses have been suggested, fnclud-
ing heavy taxes which would con
tinue until the land is converted
into some productive use. Tt
might be more practical however,
to establish tax policies so that
each piece of land would be tax
ed proportionately to its produc-
tive capacity after being develop
ed into its best use.
TN summary it appears defin-
tie that present tax policies are.
impeding some aspects of agricul
tural development on st. Croix.
These policies are entirely man
made and are under the control
of local governing bodies. It is e
cognized that they have develop
ed over a long period and to
make substantial revisions would
require compromises between ma
jor interest groups. However,

I say without hesitation,-
that it is up to local govern
ment to make it possible for
the cattle growers over a per-
to survive. IF we must borrow
the funds to make this capital
investment possible, then we
should not hesitate to do 50
and then try 0 recover it from
the cattle industry of st. Croix
iod of years. l think it is fall
lacious to hold that the fact
that we donot get much IN the
way of direct taxes from the cat
tie industry should deter us from
making the necessary facilities
available for the survival OF the
industry. I say that we should
re-examine our tax policies,
wherever necessary, so as to en-
courage rather than discourage
agricultural and industrial enter
prises. The function of govern
ment is not necessarily to give di-
rect employment on its own pay
rolls, but properly to stimulate
private industry SO as to create
a stable economy which will give

es (non-food products) are not on
ly taxed in this indirect way but
also by direct levies on the pro-
ducts sold.2
'The only other tax which is
of major importance to the agri-
cultural interests of st Croix is
the general excise tax referred to
earlier. This bill imposes a five
percent tax on all non-food pro-
ducts, with thte exception of char
coal, whether imported or locally
produced. The tax is computed on
the gross sale value and applies
to such materials as seeds, plants,
machinery, fertilizers, inseceti-
cides, ct cetera that are used in
agricultural operations. Thus,
from thte standpoint of produc-
ing for their own markets, local
farmers operate at a five percent
disadvantage, with off shore pro-
ducers Of foodstuffs. Such a tax
can hardly be said to encourage
general agricultural operations,
particularly the production of
foods for local markets.
From the standpoint of the
competitive position of alterna-
tive farm enterprises the tax
works a special hardship on live
stock growers who sell in local
markets since live animals are
classified as non-food items, even
though they are marketed for di-
rect s1aguther. Farmers who sell
livestock are subject to the tax
and the inspector at local slaugh-
ter houses provides the tax asses
sor with a listing of all animals
hutchered. Local BUYERS for ex-
nort are also contacted at regular
'nterva for their records Of pur-
chases. From these records tax
statements of the amount CT the
tax are prepared. Another unfair.
ness of this tax ordinance, is the
that cattle owners whose
hards are of sufficient size to JUS
tify exporting to off shore mar
kets, thus bv-nassinp local huvers
are not subject to this tax. Thus
it annears that the tax is work
ing a particular hardship on small
