Kid GaviIan Signs
To Defend Title
Against Johnny
Saxton

PHILADELPHIA, May 10, -
Especially - Champion Kid Gavi-
Ian and Johnny Saxton, fourth
ranked contender, will meet for
the world-welterweight title at
Connie Mack Stadium in Phila-
delphia in late June or early July.
The fight will be the Cuban
champions first title defense of the
year. He retained his crown last
November by beating Johnny Brat
ton in Chicago, but failed in
try at Bobo Olson's middleweight
championship last month.
Promoter Herman Taylor an
nounced he would stage the IT,
round title contest at Connie Mack
Stadium in conjunction with the
International Boxing Club of New
York. The promoter said final de-
tails of the bout, Including the
date, ticket prices, television and
radio broadcast, will be made with
in a week to 10 days.
The lack of a return bout clause
quite unusual these days in title
fight contracts pointed up several
! possibilities:
| l. The Cuban Kid may call it
quits in the ring if he loses to Sax
ton confirming reports Gavilan is
| ~, - aoI =, narno~
2. Gavilan is taking the fourth
ranking welterweight title con-
tender lightly.
1t is known that Frank Weiner.
Pennsylvania State Athletic Com
mission chairman, is against return
bout clauses. Taylor said he men,
toned that to Gavilan's manager,
Angel Lopez, and that the latter
said he wouldn't insist on the clause
being in the contract. Taylor's ex-
PLANTATION is that should the New
York challenger win, return bout
with Gavilan would be his most
profitable venture anyway.
Taylor said he will pay Gavilan
40 per cent of the net receipts and
Saxton 20 per cent although he in
dictated the managers may yet
reach an agreement whereby Gavi-
Ian will be guaranteed $4,000 to
$4,000 by the Saxton camp. In this
instance, Saxton would receive the
so per cent net allotted to both
fighters.
The fight probably will be held
during the three-day vacation per-
iod surrounding baseball's ALI

O'Dwyer was mayor Of New York.
Then, the names of three or four
Negro lawyers were submitted to
the City Bar Association for ap-
prasial, but approval of none of
them was forthcoming. Reason
given for such disapproval was
lack of legal experience in the
Federal Court by any of these law
yers.
Nevertheless during this period
of non-recognition of the Negro
lawyers on the Federal District
Court, more than $50 District
judges were appointed to the Fed
eral Bench in America.
1t is predicted that the pay of
the Federal District judge will be
raised at this session of Congress
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually.
This will make competition for such
positions much more severe and
hence make the chances of appoint
ment of Negro to this bench much
less.
So far as is known no name of a
Negro has been sent to Washing
ton for consideration for appoint
ment to the Federal Bench during
this administration either.
1t is understandable if the Re-
publican hierarchy of the respec-
tive states: and if the National
Republican party officials estimate
that appointment of a Negro to
the Federal Bench would not pro-
duce many Republican votes among
Negroes in view Of the consistent
record by a great majority Of them
Of supporting the Democratic party
in national elections during the past
five presidential contests.
However, the Republican leaders
may feel that an appointment by
President Eisenhower of Negro
to the Federal Bench, in the light
of this lack of support from that
group, would be such striking evil
dence of sincerity regarding first
class citizenship for all as to be
certain to bring great support to
the Republican Party from Negro
voters.
While some Negro opinion sug-
gests the desirability of a Negro
being appointed to the Federal
Supreme Court, it is perhaps more
realistic and more within the
realms of possibility if the goal
were fixed as that of the Federal
District Court.
As is we'll known, Negroes have
been appointed to the U. S. Court
Of Appeals (Hastie), to the U. S.
Customs Court (Mollison) and to
the Federal District Court in the
Virgin Islands (More). However,
the Federal District Bench with
in continental U. S. is still with
out any Negro judge.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1954-05-15
Speculation
Continued from Page One)

Federal Bench Is much more diff
ficult than getting such recogni-
ton on the bench Of a state or
local court. Any appointment. to
the Federal Court involves going
through many hands, any Of which
could spell disaster. These possible
stumbling blocks include local bar
associations, American Bar As
ISOLATION, Local and State party
organization heads, u. S.
Senators, Governor, National
committeeman, Department of JUS
tice, and Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, as we'll as others.
The great difficulty is evidenced
by the fact that although in presid-
entail elections of 1886 and since
the Negro voter has given great
er percentage support to the DEM
ocratic presidential candidates,
Roosevelt and Truman, than any
other group in America no Ne
gro was appointed to the Federal
District bench by either of these
presidents. Striking is the fact
that so far as is known no Negro
name was sent to Washington by
any state party organization or Of
fetal for consideration by the De-
partment of Justice and the Presi-
dent for purposes Of nomination
during the Democrats reign.
The nearest approach to such con-
sideration occurred when William

History Made
When Negro Plays
In Louisiana
Texas League

NEW IBERIA, May 4 Especially
History was made here tonight
when Julie Benilla, Negro infielder
with Texas City, played against
New Iberia leaders in the Evan
geline baseball league. A record
attendance of almost 1000 saw the
game which New iberia won 3 to
g. Bonilla got one hit out of three
official times at the plate and
sparkled afield. Texas City has
two other Negro regulars on its
team. Tony Taylor, shortstop, is
sidelined because of back injury.
The third player is Pete Naranjo,
pitcher.
There are six Louisiana and two
Texas teams in the Evangeline
League. Close observers had ex-
pected most opposition to Negro
players to come from citizens of
New iberia but no such opposition
materialized.

keep the tree symmetrical and
beautiful, and to emphasize the de-
sired characteristics Of the tree it,
self.
Weak, diseased and dead bran
ches should be removed. These can
easily be distinguished from
healthy ones. Dead and dying wood,
in which injurious insects and dis
ease breed, should be pruned and
burned.
Structurally, tree can be
strengthened by removing interfer-
ing branches, thinning it out to
open up the interior Of the crown
and to prevent it from becoming
top heavy. Weakened crotches can
be braced and large limbs cabled to
prevent their being split or scat
tered during storms.
