Greensboro, N. g. CAMP -
Shut out Of q number Of other
Dtxie tournaments, particularly In
the LouIsiana-F Florida area, Negro
golfer Charlie Sifford, one Of the
nations top money winners, win
tee off In the Greater Greensboro
Open Golf tournament. April 13-
10, and become the first Of his race
to compete In a PGA co-sponsored
tournament south Of the Mason
Dixon Line.
The hard-driving Stfford got the
green light from the Greensboro
tournament recently, after the
board Of directors passed q resolu-
ton declaring that neither creed,
color nor race would be the basis
for rejecting an applicant to play
In the Open.

While sifford win be the first
Negro to play In the ego. break

new to him. He cracked the ice in
a number Of other tournaments
leading up to this one. During q
winter tour Of the westeoast, he
also was one Of the nations most
successful golfers, finishing con-
sistently in the money. He won the
San Diego Open back In 1857.

Stfford's acceptance for the ego
was confirmed by Nose Kiser Jr,
general tournament chairman, who
said: I'VE received an official en-
try blank from Sifford and he Is
an approved PEA tournament

Actually, the tournament was
extending a courtesy to sifford as
q fellow Carolinian. A native of
Charlotte, Sifford started his car

Pick Willie DGVis
& YusfEzemslGi To
Be Ton Rockies

st. Petersburg, Fla. CAMP -
As spring training ended last weak
and the various major league
teams headed North to start the
1861 baseball season, two young
outfielders were selected as the
leading candidates for this years
rookie-of-the-year honors in their
respective leagues.
They are Willie Davis Of the
Los Angeles Dodgers. q fleet,
slick-fielding outfielder. and Carl
Yastrzemsld Of the Boston Red
Sox, also an outfielder.
The two were chosen from among
several promising rockies in the
training camps who seemed des-
tined to make the majors by the
Associated Press.
Davis is perhaps the more spec
tacular Of the two because Of his
great speed He stole 80 bases in
1869 while batting 1896 to top the
California League with Reno, and
SO more In a split season with
Spokane Of the Pacific Coast and
the Dodgers. He batted .346 with
Spokane to win the coast batting
title.
Yastrzemsld batted .377 with
Raleigh In the Carolina League in
1859 and 800 with Minneapolis Of
the American Association last
year.
Ironically, Yastrzemslxi, who Is
a white player, received q 500, 900
bonus to sign with the Red Sox,
whereas Davis cost the Dodgers
a meager 5000.
Davis, the National Lacquer, has
been praised highly by Eddie
StanlSy Of the st. Louis Cardinals,
a keen judge Of talent. According
to Stanky, Davis can't miss.
He's one Of the best looking
young Outfielders I've seen in a
long time. He has everything ex-
cept power and he may develop
that" said Stanlxy.
Former Red Sox batting ace Ted
Williams called Yastrzemsld q ma

New York (ANP) - The at
tempt by former Dodger catcher
Roy Campanella and his wife Ruth
to patch up a riff that developed
in their marriage some time back
apparently has failed and a break
up now seems imminent. .
That much seemed evident after
the former National League base
bali star placed a paid advertise
ment in the pubhc-notices section
of the New York Times and his
wife reacted swiftly to it. She
commented that Campy is IAN UNI
happy man :" who considers
everybody to be wrong but him"
The advertisement which Campy
placed in the Times advised against
any financial commitment which
his wife might make In his name.
1t said: The undersigned win no
longer be responsible for debts
incurred by his wife, Ruth Camp
amelia. Roy Campanella, East Is
land, Glen Cove, Ii.
Meanwhile, mrs. Campanella
said she hadn't talked TO her hus-
band since March 8, when he left
for the Los Angeles Dodgers spring
training camp at Vera Beach, Fla.
Campanella Is a special coach for
his old team. She said he came to
the house recently to see the chill
dren but he didn't come inside.
She added that all she wants Is a
peaceful settlement. III he doesn't
want to live with me, why can't
he Just sit down with me and
settle It peacefully" she asked.
The CampaneIlas almost ended
their marriage last August when
Roy filed suit In Mineola Supreme
Court asking custody Of their four
children. However. friends per-
suaded them to think It over for
the sake of the children, and they
did.
Campanella was paralyzed In an
auto accident In January, 1858, but
their marital troubles began befOre
that.

Twins The Winners:
Sox Trading OF
BoffeY Boekfires;
Wish They Had Him

Chicago (ANP) - The Chicago
White sox, striving to regain their
1869 pennant form and plagued
by catching woes, have repeatedly
sent out q coast-to-coast SOS for
help behind the plate.
With first string Sherman Lol-
lar having approached the age
where he cannot stand up under
full strain the entire season, the
Pale Hose are believed to be really
on the spot. The rockies they have
been banking on have not shown
that they are really ready for the
big leagues
Yet the Sox kept q dream cat
cher warming the bench for years,
finally traded him off to WASH
ington.
He is Earl Battey, now one Of
the top catchers in the American
League. The first string catcher
for the former Washington sena-
tors and now the Minnesota Twins.
Battey a was spark plug for that
team almost since arriving In
''DEECEE."
The Sox traded Earl to the SEN
ators following the successful 1853
season, and Manager Cookie Law
agetto quickly made him his No.
/ backstop. The move has paid off
IN more ways than one. Once
thought to be a weak hitter, Bat
tey has shown he can pound the
BAN If given a chance to play reg
ularly. He was a better than .270
hitter last season.
The Sox could really use Battey
now. However, it IL doubted that
Lavagetto would give him up now,
and the sox brass are probably
too embarrassed to ask.

Lancaster, Pa CAMP - Fort
night ago, Ben Zimmerman, q
farmer and father Of four children,
attended an auction and bought a
box Of trinlets for ten cents. When
he got home and opened the box
he found an envelope, containing
81, 100 in bills Of small denomina-
ton. An honest man, Zimmerman
went into a huddle with himself,
three times trying to decide
whether to keep the money or re-
turn it to the administrator of the
estate where the auction was held.
Last week he came to a decision,
returned the money and was paid
$56, which represented the admin
Istrators five percent commission.
