Braves, Buns
Start Crucial
Set
By Ed coRRIcAN

BROOKLYN, RAThe fantastic
Milwaukee Braves invaded Ebbets
Field tonight for the first of two
game set with the fast-fadine
Brooklyn Dodgers and the series is
of the utmost importance 10 both
teams.
II the Braves are to stay in the
pennant chase, they must win both
games. If the Brooks hope to gel
second money, they must sweep
the series.
At the moment, they're q game
and a half behind the Braves, who,
in turn, are four games behind the
New York Giants.
Manager Charley Grimm plans
to throw Lew Burdette, an old
Dodgers hater, against the Brooks.
Flatbush Leader Walt Aston,
whose hurting corps has been any
thing but sensational, will counter
with Billy Loes, local boy, In an
effort to stop the Braves who carry
a 10-game winning streak here.
Aston had little to say before
the battle, probably because there
was little he could say. Five
months ago, he might have looked
at the schedule and thought: "Well,
this might be an important series
in my pennant plans" But it's fol
sure that he never thought he'd
be fighting for second place.
Grimm, in first or last place,
was his usual clipper self after
getting settled in the big town.
He must be taking lessons from
Cleveland Manager AL Lopez, who
always said he played each game
as it came up. The Indians are
5la games ahead. so Grimm prob
ably is reasoning what's good for
Lopez Is good for him.
We've got to beat New York
and Brooklyn" he said. ''Win one
game at a time, but win them"

1854 Conchs
Make Their
First Public
Appearance
BY JIM COBB
Citizen Sports Editor

It's a good bet that a large
segment of Key Vests
fast-growing legion of foot
ball fans will have a much
better knowledge of the in
ner workings of the gridiron
pastime at the conclusion of
the Second Annual Miami
Herald Free Football Clin-
ic slated to be unveiled at
the new High School Athlet-
ic Field tonight at 8 o'clock.
1t will be the premier perform
ance for the bigger and better
1854 version of the clinic which has
scared to popularity after several
annual performances in Miami's
Orange Bowl. 1t was slated to be
presented there earlier this week,
but the vagaries of Hurricane Ca
rol forced its postponement. Hence,
Key Westers are getting the first
look at the new and improved
show. Tonight's presentation will
be the only one outside of Miami.
T-Formafion
Luther Voltz, in overall COM
mand of the show has announced
that the offensive football demon
strations - both in slow and ra-
pid motion - will be concentrated
on the ramifications of the T-for-
nation, due to its increased en-
phasis on that style of play on the
nations gridiron.
Also slated for plenty Of atten-
ton, is the new 5-4-2 defense used
last year by both Oklahoma and
Maryland in the Orange Bowl, and
again by Detroit Lions in their
classic battle with the College ALI
Stars this year.
Other details of the game to be
covered include football fundamen-
tails, defensive strategy, touch
plays, a demonstration Of ''how a
play is built" kick returns and of
ficials signals. Wilbert Bach, an
nouncer for the Orange Bowl gam
es will handle the commentary for
tonight's event.
Local Performers
Fans will get an idea of the COM
parative speed of this years Conch
performers when they stage shut
tie races.
The affair will be wound up with
a 20-minute game scrimmage with
the squad split right down the mid
die. It'll be the first chance for To-
cal fans to have a look at the
squad in action.
But it won't be just football To-
night.
The Key West High School Band,
under the direction of Harold
doc" Casterton, will be on hand
to stage halftime show special
ly prepared for tonight's affair.
And the entire program is free
to the public - including parking
and programs.

He spent 22 years at Washington
High in Milwaukee, losing only
80 of l76 games. In four years as
head coach at Marquette Univer-
sity, Blackbourn's teams had an
18-17-4 record. Last fall the war
riors-then the Hilltoppers-lost
three games by a total of nine
points to Wisconsin (13-1D, In
diana (14-13) and Michigan State
l21-15).
Blackburn for years has
been known az a sticlxler for
fundamentals. His Marquette
teams. always just a bit too
thin 10 cope with major league
foes. never were disgraced.
When II came to such items as
block and tackling. they were
well coached.
The new Packer pilot is a dis
ciplinarian, too. Either the Pack
ers will do the Blackburn way
what's to be done or they'll play
elsewhere. Handling adult ath-
letes rather than college boys
should make his system more
effective.
Blackburn, on paper at least,
did himself proud in the National
League draft. Art Hunter, 240-
pound Notre Dame tackle and No.
/ choice, is in the fold. So are
Veryl Switzer, 190-pound Kansas
halfback; Tackle Bob FLICK, a
260-pounder from Syracuse; Max
MCGEE, 203-pound halfback from
Tulane; Gene Knutson, 225-pound
end from Michigan, and Guard
Mike Takacs, from Ohio State,
to name a few stars.
The 1854 Packers aren't likely
to be championship Lcontenders,
but they won't look bad losing.
Blackburn will take care of that.

Richards May
Reveal Future
Baseball Plan
by CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

CHICAGO, M-Paul Richards,
manager of the Chicago White
Sox, today may reveal his future
baseball plans.
Rumors that have been kicking
around for three weeks reached a
climax last night when Baltimore
newsmen all but had Richards
packed and waiting for q train to
take him to the Orioles.
Baltimore reports insisted the
taciturn Texan would accept a s.
year contract as general manager
and field manager of the Orioles.
A salary mentioned was $50, 900.
Richards denied that he has ar
ranged to sign with Baltimore, the
same club that a year ago went
after the Sox General Manager
Frank Lane. Lane wound up with
what amounted to a 7-year con-
tract at a substantial pay boost
from the White Sox.
II is believed Richards would be
happy with a Swear pact with the
Comiskeys and will dicker with
them on this basis in a meeting
scheduled for today.
'Pm going to meet with Chuck
Comiskey (vice president) Friday
and the whole thing should be
settled then" Richards said last
night.
His present 2-year Sox contract
expires at the end of 1854. 1t has
paid off at a reported $4,000 to
$4,000 annually plus a nickel
head" bonus on attendance over
one million. The bonus should net
him an extra $4,000 this year.
1--WE have offered Paul a good
contract with a substantial in
crease in basic salary" said Com
iskey. cit is for no longer than
two years."
Richards said: 'sI'm giving the
new contract offer every consider
alton. / consider II a fair one"

transition be completed by Sep
temher 1855. 1t was explained
that complete desegration would
be accomplished step by step
during the school year 1954-55.
The first steps recommended for
September 1854 involved the
transfer Of approximately 2,70O
children from 81 present Divi-
sion 2 schools to ID. Division 1
schools to relieve, serious over
crowding in the colored elemen-
tary and junior high schools. It
also recommended the opening
of both teachers colleges to both
races and the admission of Arm
strong students to Mckinley
High School. The report did not
detail the progressive steps which
can be undertaken during the
school year 1954-1955. The steps
which seem possible in present
planning are:
/. Completion of boundaries
on or before September first.
2. Additional transfers as soon
after the opening of the school
year as possible by the applica-
ton of the new boundaries in
certain areas in which the num-
ber of pupils to be transferred is
very limited.
3. The completion of desegre-
cation of the senior and voca-
tional high schools by February
/, 1855.
4. Such other emergency trans
fers as may be found to be neces-
sary when the actual fall enroll
mentS are available.
THE INTERVAL OF TIME IN
Dictated IN THE SUPERIN-
TENDENT'S REPORT UNTIL
DESEGREGATION is JUSTI-
FABLE AS WELL AS NECES-
SARY.
The following comments are
pertinent:
/. The opinion of the Supreme
Court does not designate any
date by which desegregation
must be completed.
2. The fact that the court has
reset the case for hearings on
the when" and "how" of de-
segregation indicates that action
need not be precipitous or too
immediate.
3. The steps toward deSegrega-
ton recommended by the super
intendent to be effective in Sept
ember, 1854, and those which
may be taken during the next
school year without regard to
the final decree of the court. are
actually in advance of legal
necessity.
4. Emphasis should be placed,
therefore, not upon any incom-
pleteneSs of the process in Sep
/ tember but upon the fact that
changes made by that time are
in advance of the final decree
of the court.
S. The superintendent and his
staff will be held responsible
for the successful administration
Evening star., 1954-06-03

of plans for desegregation. They
should not, therefore, be re-
quired to follow a schedule which
in their Judgment can not be
met by orderly and well though
out educational procedures. The
sincere. honest and objective
opinion Of the staff as to the
time required and the methods
to be used should be given con-
sideration.
6. The period of one school
year in Transforming the basic
structure of a school system over
100000 children and 5000 en-
ployes cannot be considered ex-
cessive by experienced educators
or by citizens interested in the
welfare Of children.
z. The schools in this commu-
nifty have operated for many
years on a segregated basis. They
will operate henceforth on an
integrated basis. 1t is vital that
this vast complicated and his
torically significant transition
be effected by means and timing
that are psychologically and ed
ucationally sound.
8. The President of the United
States has expressed the hope
that the desegregation Of the
District of Columbia schools shall
serve as a model for the rest Of
the Nation. We share that hope
of the President and will take
pride in the work to be done.
We, therefore, insist that the
timing must be consistent with
sound planning and operation.
Should the schools open in con-
fusion in September, as seems
to us an ineyitable result of too
rapid progress, our experience
here will indeed be bad ex-
ample for the country.
Governing Principles.
In order that the attitude, in
tention, and sincerity of the SUI
perintendent and each member
of his staff may be understood
and appreciated, the principles
which they unanimously adopted
to govern the administrative pro-
cedures having to do with de-
segregation of the Washington
schools are here reiterated:
1. Complete desegregation Of
all schools is to be accomplished
with the least possible delay.
2. New boundaries are to be
established for each school.
3. Appointments and promo
tions of all school personnel are
to be made on a merit system
only and assignment will be in
accord with the needs of the
service.
4. Transition to desegre-
gated system is to be accomp-'
lished by natural and orderly
means.
The superintendent and his
staff stated as a basic premise
that the schools will hereafter
operate as a single system and
that no reference will be made
in any way to racial differences
among its pupils or its employees.
