The Coasters" Fail To
Appear; Promoters
To Seek Redress

A Minneapolis corporation which
has been promoting public dances
featuring nationally known artists
had another attraction fail to ap-
pear Sunday, when THE Coasters, "
singers did not appear for sched-
uled engagement at the Marigold
Ballroom.
This was the third time that
artists booked by the Progressive
Gents, Inc, have failed to make an
appearance.
The first artist who didn't show
despite a contract to do so the
corporation says was Joe Turner,
the singer.
The second occurrence of the
same type was the failure of Lit
tie Willie" Johns, whose signed
contract to appear was not kept.
In both instances the corpora
ton claims it has instituted action
to recover their advance payments
on the contracts and damages
which they say the corporation has
suffered.
At the Marigold Ballroom Sun
day night when THE Coasters
did not appear there was some dis
order by a few angry patrons who
insisted that they wanted their
money back.
Prior to this incident some pat
rons at the Little Willie" Johns

his engaging manner of speaking
The young people were completely
won over by his fresh enthusiasm
for their activities and accomplish
ments and by his interesting and
informative way of answering all
their questions. He presented tro-
plies to the members of the Ok
ford baseball team, midget division,
who won both the North End and
Midway Championships.
H. E. Toussaint, director of the
Community Youth Club, presented
to the Oxford Booster club a check
for $3.50 from his organization.
John Pettiford, president of the
Oxford Booster Club, formally ac-
cepted a check for 500 from Earl
Battey which he had presented
to the club at its December IA,
1861 meeting.
The banquet closed with a film
of the high-Ights of the Mime
sofa Gopher football games during

were refunded their admission fees
At Sunday nights dance half OF
the advertised attraction, Jimmy
Gresham and his band did appear
but THE Coasters" the we'll ad-
vertised recording group were no
place to be seen.
Members of the corporation who
had planned to bring Jackie
Wilson, the singer her are now
undecided because of the reputa-
ton which the organization has
gained because of the failure OF
attractions which they booked to
keep their commitments.
Leonard Currie, business man.
ager and Cecil Chunn, vice-presi-
dent of the group said the corpora
ton was concerned that the public
would think that the failure Of the
attractions to appear was due r
any negligence on their part.
They plan to institute legal pro.
ceedings against the Shaw Artists
Corporation who are agents fol
Joe Turner and THE Coasters"
and Universal Attractions who are
bookers for Little Willie" Johns
for damages.
The corporation in a advertise
ment in this edition expresses its
regret at the failure of booked at.

Writers Association of America.
Robinson who spent his entire
career in the majors with the
Brooklyn Dodgers had a lifetime
batting average of 81. He won
the Rookie of the Year Award in
1947; National League batting title
in 1949 and the Most Valuable
Player award in the same year.
Robinson's career in his first
year was studded with handicaps
and he was kept under raps"-not
to openly resent slurs, from players
or fans about his race.
In the second year Branch
Hickey, Brooklyn boss at that time
told him he had been accepted as
a player by the public and that
from then on he was free to con-
duct himself as all other players.
A good competitor, with terrific
courage Robinson continued to
play we'll but also refused to take
any insults or slurs from either
other players, the public or the
press.
Some of the sports writer's be-
gan to call him "Chesty" and sug-
gest that he had the big head"
However Hickey spelled out the
New Robinson by reminding the
press boys that he was the same
Robinson but that he had been told
he no longer had to take any in
suits, as he was asked to do in his
first year.
Robinsons nomination to the
Baseball Hall of Fame was not
generally expected by the Negro
press despite the fact that it felt
he was entitled to the honor.
His outspoken support of the
NAACP, his combativeness when
attacked the Negro people
have made him less than popular
in us. raCist circles but, nobody
could truthfully say he wasn't one
of the greatest baseball players
who ever welded a bat or caught
a ball.

coverage of the banquet made no
mention of the incident.
The first the general public
heard of it was in a report by
sportscaster D. ]. Leary of radio
station KDWB who roundly crit
icised Ryan's poor taste.
Leary's editorial comment
brought apologies to Battey and
Green from sponsors of the BAN
quet.
Meantime the daily papers kept
quiet about the incident until Fri
day when the Minneapolis TRIB-
UNE carried a small account of
the incident buried inconspiciously
at the bottom of one of the last

Saturday, Bill Boni, executive
sports editor of the Pioneer PRESS

criticised Battey for leaving the
