for faithful performance of duty
over a period Of years? Don't
be silly.
Why, then, should the fans be
asked to chip in and shower ex-
pensive gifts on a pro athlete
who fares much better than the
ordinary guy at the pay window?
Days" of this kind remind us
of the baseball player who, on
receiving an auto a number OF
years ago, looked at the DASH
board and growled, Where's the
radio?"
Of another diamond star, also
getting a gift car, whose agent
wanted $500 for his man to walk

In Justices case, we were tell
ing ourselves, here's a football
player celebrated in song and
story ever since he went to North
Carolina University after achiev-
ing stardom as a teen-age kid
in the Navy. If anybody should
be we'll heeled. we thought it
should be Choo Choo Justice.
At North Carolina. it was
bruited about, Charlie had the
soft drink concession at all sport
ing events. He was supposed to
have been given a comfortable
home and new car. And when
he graduated, did he make mad
dash to cash in on his name in
pro football? Nope. Obviously.
the young man didn't have to
scramble for a buck. Wealthy
alumni, twas said. had taken
care" of him.

Well, it wasn't that way at all,
Justice told us yesterday at the
Redskins Office. On the con-
trary, Choo Choo says he was
$40, 900 in debt when he returned
to the Redskins in 1852 after
sitting out the 1851 season and
playing only the last eight games
of the 1850 campaign. If he rode
the gravy train at North Caro-
lima, somebody neglected to put
on the engine.
II didn't get any more than
any boy gets with an athletic
scholarship at North Carolina" "
Charlie told us. "As a matter
of fact, ] went to school on the
CT Bill and ] didn't get any
kickback from the school. My
wife used the scholarship that
was given me, but she already
had a scholarship at another
State school which she turned
down to go with me.
Like everybody else. re-
ceived my books, tuition and
laundry, and $50 month to eat
on. Married men got $50 and
single players $50 for eating
money. Nobody gave me a
house. We lived in an efficiency
apartment and it was SO small
we had to put up the foldaway
bed every morning before we
could fix breakfast.
II heard a lot of talk about
me going into the automobile
business after I got out of school.

BROOKLYN. May 4.-Dis-
couraged by his miserable bat
ting average and unable to swing
properly, Catcher Roy Campa-
nella of the Dodgers checked into
a hospital today for an overdue
operation on his left hand.
Originally, Campanella, the
most valuable player in the Ma
tional League last year, planned
on struggling through until the
end of the season. But when he
was told that he probably would
be out only four weeks, he de-
cided to go ahead with the sur
gerry which will remove a bone
chip from his wrist.
Il was only kidding myself, !"
the distraught catcher said. II
guess nature just doesn't move
bones around. I never had any,
thing bother me this long and I
suppose I was wrong in thinking
it would cure ITSELF"
He said he thought about it
all Sunday night and even called
his wife at 4 am. to ask her
advice. Then, yesterday, he
called Vice President Buzzy
Bavasi and admitted that the
time was ripe for the operation.
Catching didn't bother me, "
he said. "but my hitting con-
vinced me. I couldn't break my
wrist right when swung hard
and I couldn't hold back on a
swing when I wanted to. I was
hitting at a lot of bad balls. I
tried different handles and even
light and heavy bats, but moth
ing helped.

1erps Rated Over HoYas
In Dual Meet Today

Maryland and Georgetown
we're to stage their annual dual
track meet this afternoon at
Georgetown, with the Terps ia
vored.
Among the Maryland stars is
Mel SchwarZ, who already this
season has broken the. pole vault
stadium record both at Mary
land and at Georgetown, and
Phil Stroup, sprinter and broad
jumper who has been a triple
winner in two of Maryland'S S
meets.
Hoping to keep Stroup from a
sweep of the 100 and 220 yard
dashes is Vince Kelly of George
town, who won both those events
for the Hoyas in dual meet
last Saturday at Temple. Among
the other GU standouts is Paul
Baroncelli. winner of both the
shot put and discus in the Dis
trict AAU meet last week.

Justice isn't bitter, if this
sounds that way. If he had tc
do it all over again, he'd want
it the same way, he said. But
Choo Choo would like to correct
the impression that he, in par
ticular, and college stars in gen.
eral, live on easy street with
wealthy alumni to cater to their
slightest whims.
Justice thinks the gossip about
him got started when he decided
to enroll at North Carolina after
previously deciding to matricu-
late at South Carolina.
Both my wife and I liked Rex
Enright," Charlie said, refer
ring to South Cardinals head
football coach and director OF
athletics. I'VE thought he was
fine and she was all for going
there-didn't want to go to
North Carolina. But my oldest
brother. who'd advised me in
everything I did and taught me
all knew about football, said
he'd never speak to me again if
I went to school outside the
State"
This, Justice explained. was
because three of his brothers, in
Guiding his counselor. had at
tended out-of-State colleges and
found it rough" earning a liv-
ing when they returned home.
Charlie thinks it was sound ad-
vice because he now has friends
"all over the State" to call on
when he needs a little help in
his present work for the North
Carolina Alumni Association.
Justice laughs at the report
that he turned down $500 a
year at South Carolina and that
Duke couldn't match North Car
olina's offer.

finished I got up and left. And
if South Carolina had offered
me $500, boy. ! would have
snapped it up. I was never in

Some day, Choo Choo said,
he'd like to write the real story
behind a college football stars
career-not because he suffered
any injustice-but it makes me
mad to think how all these stor-
les you hear about how much
they're paid are hurting foot

"He left North Carolina some

George Marshall added yester-
day after signing Justice for
1854. when Charlie left, the
university had $500,000 in the
treasury, put there by the foot
ball team. of which Mr.. Justice
was the star. I think they've had
a deficit every year since he left,
I I'dont know. But I do know
they haven't filled the stadium
game after game like they did
when he was playing for them"
Marshall would like to raise a
fund to pay off the mortgage
ON Charles new home at Chapel
Hill, and he would like North
Carolinians to take the lead be-
cause he feels that they owe it
to a boy who brought fame and
glory to their State and success
to their university's football
team. North Carolina plays
Maryland at College Park Octo-
ber Is. so there will be a lot Of
Tar Heels in town for Charlie
Justice day.
We still aren't sold on days"
like this, but in Charles case,
at least, it won't be going to a
guy who had everything handed
to him on a platter, and a silver
platter at that.

Bill Renna. Vic Power, Jim
Finigan and Don Bollweg OBJ
tanned from the Yankees in ex-
change for Harry Byrd and Eddie
Robinson, have batted in half of
the Athletics 40 runs. Rob-
inSon has batted in one run and
Byrd has lost three starts. .
Byrd is wondering about the
Yankees famed power. /.
They've staked him to one run
in three games
Casey Stengel, who may have
little to say about it, says the
Senators won't get Shortstop
Jim BrideweSer. AL Rosen of
the Indians has smacked four
sacrifice flies already and is hit
ting .345. He'd be a 1922
hitter under the old rule which
charged a time at bat for those
blows.

even was glum over the three
home runs he hit in the first
three games.
Didn't impress me one bit, ~
he said. "They weren't hit good
