From Alabama Terminal
Railroad Waiting Room

Birmingham, Ala (ANP) -
Bishop r. r. Wright, president of
the powerful AME Church Bish-
ops Council and presiding bishop
of the Eighth AME Episcopal Dis
trict, stated last week that he was
ousted from a general waiting

The bishop said the incident oc-
CURED as he was waiting in a

layover. He said he seated him
self in the general waiting room
as he had done before when a
policeman approached him and de-
manded that he leave the terminal
because he might start a not.
Chief of police Jamie Moore

Tan Sfors To

By CharIes ,. LIyIngston

BY Charles J. Livingston
Willie Mays. Hank Aaron and
Frank Robinson are expected to
give the National League All
Stars the best outfield in the his
tory Of the midsummer classic.
There could be hardly any dis
agreement on this, particularly a.
mong baseball experts. And the
thousands of fans who made the
trio their overwhelming choices
rates commentator.
Mays is recognized by former
diamond greats, including frankie
Frisch, Tommy Hendricks and
Jimmy Dykes, as the most excit-
ing ball player OF all times.
Dykes called him the best
centerfielder he has ever seen, and
Frisch said nothing the 'Say-Hey'
kid streak from first to third on
a single takes him mentally to the
great days Of the past. All are in
accord that Mays is a terrific
fielder and the possessor of a
powerful throwing arm. An ack-
nowledged power hitter with a
keen batting eye, Willie hits the
fastball, curve, sinker and side
arm pitches with equal effective
ness.
His most difficult pitch to han
die is the knuckler. AS of last
week, Willie was hitting $40: had
driven in a runs to place among
the top 10 in the National League
lie was way ahead in the stolen
bases department.
Aaron is Milwaukee's chief hope
for the pennant in 1857. The hard
hitting rightfielder has become
such a threat to National League
pitchers, that many OF them have
elected to walk him instead of
running the risk Of getting knock
ed out at the box. Hank is a cap
able fielder and a speedy outfield-
err.
lie was batting .336 as Of last
week; was leading in home runs,
with 20, and in runs-batted-in
with SO. His manager, Fred Han
ey, predicts that Aaron may dom.
mate National League hitting for
the next six years, He feeds on
low pitching OF the type served up
by American League hurlers.
Robinson is what is considered
a natural baIplayer The rangy
21-year old leftfelder is the type
OF player every manager dreams
Of young, talented and powerful.
In his rookie year in 1856, Robin
son hit 80 home runs to tie the
rookie record In that department,
and this year is one Of the top
Contenders for National League
batting honors. He is not as slick
fielder as Mays or Aaron. but
he covers a lot Of territory both in
the outfield and on the base bath.
Robinson likes to chase low out
side pitches, but is a difficult man
to strike out. He is terrific
clutch hitter.
II is not known what sort Of de-
tense Casey Stengel win set up
for this trio, but 1t is certain that
his American League All-Star
hitters will be handicapped with
them in the outfield. Mays, &C
cording to one observer, makes
the centerneld shrink and Aaron
and Robinson patrol the opposing
tleiuS with amazing accuracy.
Teamed with San Musial, Red
Schoendienst, Ernie Banks, John
ny Logan and Ed Bailey at the
plate, the THO win certainly har-
ass American League pitching.
Mays, Aaron and Robinson will
more than match the power gen.

two squads win be played at ST.

old white youth here was sentenc-
ed 70 so years imprisonment for
the brutal hammer staying last
March Of a Negro high school
honor student and an immediate
expression of discomfort was
heard from the public in view Of
the light sentence.
Joseph Schwartz drew the SEN

and being tried by Chief Justice
Wilbert F. Crowley Of Criminal
court Schwartz had earlier admit
ted the brutal and unprovoked
Staying Of Alvin Palmer as he
stood on a street corner awaiting
a bus. The dead boys father,
Elijah Palmer, Immediately term

Eleven other whites indicted a.
long with Schwartz on murder
charges in the case are expected
10 go on trial this week.
Schwartz so year sentence
means that he can be eligible for
parole after serving IS years. ac-
cording to officials. States Attor-
ney Benjamin Adamowsld assailed
Judge Crowley's verdict as being
very lax. He stated, that in view
Of a recent case where 40 years
was melted out to the perpetrator,
which in degree of viciousness
and generalization in no way COM
pares with the unprovolted killing
of an innocent boy, the verdict in
this case shocks every fibre of
my being"
The II year old white youth
testified last week in his own de-
Tense, claiming he had drunk a
bottle Of wine and a bottle of
beer and remembered nothing a
bout killing the 17-year old Ne
gro honor student at Farragut
high school here.
Meanwhile, another teenager in
dicted for murder along with
Schwartz in the case told Chief
Justice Wilbert F. Crowley's
Criminal court that he heard
Schwartz say he was going to
get a niger" on the evening when
young Palmer was bludgeoned to
death with a hammer at seth and
Kedzie Av.
James Adams, II, made the
statement after Schwartz was
granted a separate trial from the
other whites by Judge Crowley.
Trial OF the others, who accom-
panied Schwartz in two cars TO
the scene of the crime will be held
later.
Young Adams told the court of
getting into a car with Schwartz
and five other boys after hearing
that the group was out to get a
Negro. He said he saw Schwartz
with a hammer in his hand when
he left the car at seth and Kedzie,
after seeing young Palmer stand
ing on the corner waiting for a
bus.
Adams said Schwartz told him
when he returned to the car, Il
got one"
Young PalmeTs father, Elijah
and a witness, Wilmore johnson,
Al, testified also at the trial
johnson said he witnessed the at
tack as he, too, waited for a bus
on the corner, but added that he
could not positively identify the
youth who attacked the boy.
johnson said Palmer's attacker
gave him a dirty look and threat
ed him with the hammer after
beating Palmer.
A statement given by Schwartz
on March IS, in which he admit
ted striking Palmer with the ham
mer was read at the trial which is
expected to be concluded in a day
or so.
