AUTO OFF ROAD

Bradentown, Fla. (ANP)--The
story Of how Hank Aaron, the Mil
waukee Braves most valuable
player was almost killed two
weeks ago by an apparently Ne
graduating motorist was divulged
here last week.
Aaron said that he and Felix
Mantilla were driving from NIL
waukee here to report for spring
training when the incident occur
red.
damned Off The ROAD
This fellow ahead of us was
doing about 20 miles an hour: re-
lates Aaron. Il passed him, and ]
was doing about IS, when suddenly
the same guy shoots past me, cut
In and damned me off the road.
1T was one of those soft should
ers, and II I had been driving a
regular car, I guess II woull have
turned over and I'd be dead. When
you're going that fast, 1t doesn't
take much to flip you. But I have
one Of those little cars. They're low
to the ground, and I was able to
jiggle 1t around and stop.
Il have a pretty good dent on
my front fender. He also knocked
off one Of my tires"
What did he say to your" a
newsman asked.
HE Didn't Even Stop"
Say to me?" Aaron said. He
didn't even stop. While I was fix
ing the tire, here he comes back
again on the other side of the
road, driving slow and laughing
as he goes by. I was so mad,
didn't even get his license num-
ber."

Louisville Cutie
Wins Top Honors
In Golden Gloves

Chicago lamp - A cheering
crowd Of 11,159 fans who attended
the 33rd annual Tournament Of
Champions Golden Gloves copeti-
ton in the Chicago Stadium last
Wednesday night may well have
watched a future world champion.
He is 1s-year-old Cassius Clay,
boxing cutie from Louisville,
who won top honors during the
tournament by defeating Jimmy
Jones of Chicago for the heavy
weight crown. Jones was the de-
Tending champ.
Clay, who was also the 1859
light heavyweight champion, NOV
ed up into the heavier division with
ease with a masterful exhibition Of
boxing skill.
In their bout, televised nation
wide along with three others on
the card, Clay jabbed, shifted out
of range, countered and generally
outboxed Jones, whose knockout
punch was held a big threat for
his opponent.
Boxed Like Veteran
In fact, Clay boxed so well that
there were those at ringside who
thought he could start out right
now as a winning pro. He fought
50 much like a veteran. Incident
ally, Cassius' younger brother was
eliminated earlier in the tourna-
ment in a bid for the light heavy
weight crown.
Sharing championship honors
with Clay was another talented
tan fighter, jefferson Davis of
Nashville. Davis, an about clouter,
defeated Bill Joiner Of Cincinnati
in an action-packed three rounder,
that was also televised
In winning his bout on decision,
Clay used a stabbing left jab and
follow-up right to beat Jones.
Davis dashed out with savage
rights and lefts to halt his man
after Joiner had given him sew
eral unpleasant moments In the
first round.
Clay and Davis were the only
two champions among the eight
crowned Wednesday night. But
they left no doubt that they were
just about the best Of the number.
The other champions were Leo

middleweight crown by swapping

vOlying tan players on major
league teams and their prospects
for the season.)
BY BIZ Brewer
Chicago CAMP - Jerry Elijah
(PlImpsie) Green probably figured
in more controversy last season
than any tan player since Jackie
Robinson was signed to an organ
lied baseball rontract for the
Brooklyn Dodgers farm system.
Green was a rookie shortstop
when he went to the Boston Red
Sox spring training camp at Scot
tsdale, Ariz. He was the first tan
player on the Millionaires' roster.
That in itself was news.
But Pumpsie made more newS
even before he had time at bat in
an exhibition game. He became a
center Of controversy when the
Red Sox could not accommodate
him in Scottsdale with his team
mates.
After being selected the out
standing rookie in camp, Green
was shunted back to the Red Sox
chief farm team, the Minneapolis
Millers Of the American Associa-
ton. Boston's bosses said they
didn't consider him ready.
That set off another controversy.
With the Red Sox wallowing in
second division, the Boston NAA-
CP brought charges of racial dis
elimination against Tom Yawkey's
team. The case eventually reached
the Massachusetts, mite e
Against Discrimination, which alb
solved the Red Sox of any bias.
Proves Clubs Brass Wrong
Green, meanwhile, remained aloof
from all the controversy and took
another tack to show the Red Sox
how wrong they were. With the
American Association team, he
batted 800 in SO games, fielded
impressively and deported himself
otherwise as a potential major
Lacquer.
Late in the season, the parent
club called him up. He Joined the
Red Sox in July and continued to
hit weIl) .313 in July and $50 in
August), but tailed off after suf-
fering an injury. His overall mark
was .233.
Green looked like a real conner
on the field and II he shows well
in spring training he might again
return to second base. A switch
hitter, with speed, Pumpsie, in his
eighth season in pro baseball,
should prove beyond dispute this
season that he belongs in the ma
jors.
Wilson Under Test
Shortly after Green joined the
Red Sox, the team reached down
to the Millers and grabbed their
second tan Observation-Disclosures
pitcher Earl Wilson. Wilson, who
had been in military service two
years, reported to the Millers last
spring. II he can master his con-
troll, he will prove an effective
pitcher. But in the American AS

Burglars Have
Hard Time With
CumberlandSa

Unknown burglars had a diff
cult time in Cumberland County
Saturday night. They attempted
to rob three places and were
completely foiled at two of the
three places and were only parti-
ally successful at the third place.
III fact, for their dubious night S
work they netted only a pair Of
clippers and other barbering
equipment from a barber shop
in the village.
Apparently figuring that the
safe in the office Of M. E. Blan-
ton. treasurer of the county,
would be full of tax money, the
burglars made that their main
target They gained entrance to
the building by prying open the
front door.
The stout safe in the treas
urer's office refused to give way.
and the Would-be safe crackers
were forced to abandon that
project. They did not bother any
thing else in the office, so the
damage was confined to one safe,
completely ruined.
After giving up on the county
safe, the burglars broke into the
barber shop and stole the mis-
cellaneous equipment.
Their third target was a store
about eight miles east of Cumber-
land on Route SO, where a bur
glar alarm scared them away
empty-handed.
With Monday looming as the
final day for the payment Of
county taxes, a safe expert was
called in to get the county safe
open, SO tax records, etc, could
be used in the treasurer'S office
A minimum amount Of money
was in the safe. it is reported.
The break-in at the treasurer S
office was discovered Sunday
morning by passing state
trooper who noticed the door
aiar.
