MdurY Wills. Tan
Star. Helps Dodgers
BY BILL BROWER

Los Angeles - It wasn't Johnny
Roseboro's home run that won the
first National League playoff
game that sent the Los Angeles
odgers into the World Series.
It wasn't Charlie Meals triple
and double in the second post-sea-
son engagement between the Dod-
gers and ex-champion Milwaukee
Braves that made the Brooklyn
expatriates basebalrs 1859 Cinder-
ella team.
1t wasn't Felix Mantilla's Grant
throw that sent in Gil Hodges with
tally that meant thousands of
dollars to the West Coast team.
The player, I suspect, who had
most to do with the Dodgers rise
from seventh place in the 1858
standings to meet the Chicago
White Sox for baseball supremacy
wasn't even on Los Angeles roster
when the season began. He was,
in fact, not at Vero Beach, Fla, in
spring training.
1t was Maury Wills who spent
the conditioning exercises with the
Detroit Tigers. Overstuffed with
infielders, Detroit never gave Wills
a genuine chance and before the
season opened returned his con-
tract to Spokane of the Pacific
Coast League.
There was no doubt about Wills
fielding skill. He also was noted
for his speed-he twice stole "a
bases in one season. But his bat
ting was something Of a question
mark, although he had batted .312
for Spokane in 1858. That was
enough for the Tigers to take a
flyer on him and to purchase his
contract conditionally.
1t was a good thing-for the
Dodgers-that Detroit decided it
could not use Wills.
Wills did not prove much of a
hitter-until September. Around
Labor Day, he was batting only
.2oe. 1t looked like a plain case
Of good field, no hit"
But you could not prove that by
the San Francisco Giants. When
the Dodgers delivered the coup de
grace to the Giants in the middle
Of September, Wills was the guy
who contributed the real waIlop.
He was virtually a terror at the
plate, in one game going 6-for-6.
For the heated stretch, he bat
ted around 400. He continued to
field in accepted style. As a re-
suit, the Dodgers ended the MI
pennant race in q dead heat.
WiIlS performance was routine
in the playon games. but his team
mates didn't mind that-as long

Your reporter, much to her re-

worship hour, but was informed
that the message was wonderful.
Rev. James Holloway, our pastor,
using as a scriptural basis Acts
2:44, "And all that believed were
together, and had all things COM
mon" gave many Informative and
interesting highlights on this text.
Psalm $50, "And I said, Oh
that had wings like a dove! for
then would / fly away, and be at
rest" was the text used by Rev.
Holloway for his evening message.
He stated that this was David
the Psalmist complaining of his
fearful case. He further stated
that we must not shiRk, but in
spirit, stay and work until the vic
tory is won. Everyone was inspired
with this message.
Two members united with the
church during the past week, in
GLIDING Miss Everleen Stinson, who
united at prayer service last week.
A warm mid-week prayer service

owned presumably by the Action
Party. Last month the first issue
Of a newspaper owned by the Aw-
olowo interests named the Sunday
Express made its appearance.
Both men have modern times,
ELK building a chain Of papers
while Awolowo has employed q
British public relations firm. Pat
rick Dolan Associates, to guide
the publicity end Of his political
campaign and to direct his news
papers. Dolan promptly imported
an American Negro editor from
Chicago to help In conducting the
papers his party controls
AwOlOwO Active CamPaIgner
Awolowo introduced a brand
new idea into campaigning also,
he flies about the country in a
helicopter making his political
speeches. In this he has an ad-
vantage over Xix. the latter re-
fuses absolutely to travel by plane.
Even In his trips to England and
the United States Che visited Am
erica and Great Britain about
three months ago) he went by
boat.
The two Premiers are fortunate
in that the third head, Alhaji All
madu BeIlo, is not running. He is
head Of the northern region the
largest Of the three and Boosting
a population Of IT million almost
twice as much as the other two
put together.
If the fight were between Awol-
owo and AZildwe alone 1t would
be a battle royal. There are secret
rumors circulating about, however,
to the effect that the SARDINIA of
Sokoto has been won over by Zik's
salesmanship and that he will
throw the votes of the Moslem
North to Xix. II 50, assuming he
controls most Of them, it would
give Xix a top heavy advantage.
Prime Minister A MosIem
The fourth person in a strategic
place who does not rate much, is
the federal Prime Minister under
the present set-up. A former school
teacher, an able and dignified man
who is highly respected, he comes
from the Moslem north and has
but a small following.
Both AZikiwe, Awolowo and the
small NEPU party of the north
have all signed an agreement not
to incite trouble among their fol-
lowers. They have asked their
newspapers not to promote or pro-
woke violence through incendiary
articles because a fight over the
premiership for the new nation
would be disgraceful.

Committee PIonS
Annual Presidents
Ball Nov. 20

The Twin City Council Of Clubs
continue to shape up plans for its
second annual Presidents Bah. The
planning Is being carefully and
SlxillfuIly handled by a special
committee set up for that purpose.
Chairman Of this committee Is
Matthew Little, Vice President of
the Council Of Clubs.
Committee members are: Obie
Ripper ASSOCIATED Negro Credit
Union); Louise McDaniels (Educa-
ton Dept. MINI. EIlcs): Willard
Jones (Mpls. Socialites); Helen
Underwood (Northern Light Bowl
ing League; Joseph Arlington
Twilight Social Club; Rosemary
Micheau (Silhoutte); Martin We'd
dington Twin City Reel & Trig-
ger Club; and Dorothy Brown
Queen Civic Club.
Tuesday, Sept 18th the entire
committee met at the home Of the
committee chairman to organize
itself and divide into sub-commit-
tees responsible to the many de-
tails involved in the promotion.
Working through the smaller
subcommittee groups, the entire
committee win assemble once a
week to review the overall plan
ming picture and make other as
signments as is necessary.
The eagerness and enthusiasm
demonstrated by the committee at
it's initial meeting proves all ef-
forts will be concentrated in max
ing the End annual Presidents BAN
Of the Twin Council Of Clubs a
real stellar Twin City affair.
The feeling was perhaps pretty
well summed up by a st. aul COM
mittee member who said: The
Twin Cities no longer have a bona
fide inter-city get together. With
so many clubs of both cities rep
resented in the Council, we can
very well lay the ground work for
such a yearly super-affair."
The Council likewise feels that
one of the aims Of the annual
Presidents Ball is to rekindle fell
lowship between the major organ
izatons Of the two cities. However
for the information Of those I'M
familiar with this annual affair,
or the Twin City Council of Club
activity, the dance and celebration
is sponsored yearly for the main
purpose Of honoring the presidents
Of affiliated clubs.
All affiliated club memberships
and their guest are invited attend.
November goth has been set as
the date. The location will be the
beautiful new Ford Local S79 Hall,
Ford Parkway, just three doors
east Of exclusive Coleman's Res
taurant in Highland Park district
Of st. Paul. The committee felt
that the location would be equally
convenient to both Minneapolis and
st. Paul residents.

geria and the Action Group headed
by Obafemi Awolowo. There is a
party in the populous North but
it is not expected to place its

of these principal candidates viii
be to win the largest number Of

Nigeria is a huge place with a
population Of IS million people.
There viii be Q million qualified
electors to vote. Nigeria has three
regions Western, Eastern and
Northern Nigeria. Each region FOR
some years has had its own pre-
mier and its own legislature under
a federation which Great Britain
administered through a governor,
Sir James Robertson. After indie
pendence, a single administrative
leader viii be chosen. He probably
win be the most important black
political leader in the world.
Eastern Nigeria, Smallest
Eastern Nigeria is the smallest
of the three regions. Enugu is its
capital and Nnamdi Azilrtwe is its
Premier. Western Nigeria, headed
by Obafemi Awolowo and perhaps
the most advanced educationally
and culturally is second. It's capital
is Tbadan. Ka luna is the capital
Of the largest region headed by
AIhaji Sir Ahnnadu BeIlo recently
knighted by Queen Elizabeth.
The northern region has IL mil
lion inhabitants almost as much as
the other two put together.
The rivalry in this election is
intense with nearly a thousand
candidates but the real battle is
between the leaders of the two
principal parties, Azil1iwe, Amer
lean educated in Lincoln University
pa and Columbia U and Obafemi
Awolowo. British trained barrister
and graduate Of Cambridge. Both
are brilliant men with excellent
records as administrators.

Nnamdi AzilIiwe who has grown
wealthy through various business
enterprises, publishes a chain of

adopted a stiff law forbidding rae
ial discrimination in both public

by a person controlling or more
adjoining units. Thus Colorado be-
