Hicks Batting 500
After Rocking Ball
For Sd Day in Row
By BILL FUCHS
Star Staff Writer

POMPANO BEACH, Fla, Mar.
'8.-Outfielder Joe Hicks, who
signed with the White SoX
while a junior at the University
of Virginia, seems bent on
proving it was all a mistake
mistake by the White SoX,
that is.
The Chicago club was too
rich in outfielders to take the
long look at Hicks, who has
been kicking around in the
minors since 1858. He was put
on the list of expendables for
last December's expansion draft
and the Senators snapped him
up.
Hicks is happy about the
whole thing, and so are the
Senators at this point. For the
third straight day, the 27-year-
old native of Ivy, Va, rocked
the ball in yesterdays final
squad game.
Four Wild Pitches
He smacked out a double and
a homer and his three-game
totals show five hits in 10 trips,
including three doubles and
yesterdays round tripper that
sailed over the centerfield fence
more than 400 feet away.
That was the highlight Of a
seven-run inning for George

Rollie Hemsley's team, Ills. 1t

in two innings.

Hicks, who has a bachelor

"The White Sox had their
outfielders." he says. "They
were established. I couldn't

to play every day, so they kept
sending me out"

Earl ZepP Charges
John Patterson With
Assault, Other Acts

Three charges were placed last
week against John Patterson, of
Deep Creek Lake, by Earl ZepD,
Oakland business man.
One charge was for assault, beat
ing, wOunding and i'll treating the
plaintiff. another was on charge
of parking an automobile in an
illegal manner on the Turkey Neck
road, in violation of the Maryland
Motor Vehicle laws, and the third
charged him with putting him in
fear of being beaten and will to
do him bodily harm. He prayed that
the man be placed under a peace
bond.
Magistrate Robert NJ Maroney
said Tuesday that Patterson had
prayed a jury trial on the assault.
charge, but that the other two
charges would be heard in his Of
flee within the next few days.
Patterson filed bond in the
amount of 5000 for his appearance
when called. The assault charge
will be heard in the Circuit Cour..
The trouble apparently stemmed
from a court trial of a few months
ago.
Prior to the death of Associate
Judge Neil c. Fraley he had ruled
that there was no material evidence
of fraud or misrepresentation pres
cnt in the sale of Acorn Associates
to Mr.. Patterson The decision
came as a result of suit
brought by Patterson against the
owners of the business which in.
cludcd Zcpp.
Patterson had claimed that he
deposited 1880 as a deposit or
the purchase of the outstandins
shares of the business and that he
later found the facts concerning
its financial condition to be untrue
In March, he asked for an injunc-
ton seeking the return of the
money and asking that the agree
ment made between him and the
owners of the company be de
clared void
The defendants then entered d
denial stating that the agreement
was not fraudulent and had been
entered into in good faith and
asked that the sale of the company
be declared valid and binding
Patterson failed to go through
with his offer to purchase for .
total price of S39, 12O, and the own
ers asked that the SIT 500 deposited
in escrow be turned over to them
as liquidated damages
Still to be determined is the dis
position of the SIT 500.
