Stoneham, who has given Mays
a cool 100000 for his 1862 con-
tract, said a spokesman for Mrs.
Charles Shipman Payson, owner of
the New York Club, had approach
ed him with a proposition to trade
800 units of Giants stock, valued
at about $65O,OOO, for Mays.
This was the deal: Mrs. Pay
son, who had donated 800 shares of
preferred and common Giants
stocks to a hospital, would repur-
chase the stocks and offered it in
trade for Mays.
Reveal Lane Offered 81 Million
For Willie
The stock deal was offered on
behalf of Mrs. Payson by Donald
Grant, described as her adviser,
Stoneham explained.
Stoneham said he gave the Nets
spokesman a flat no-deal reply.
Stoneham also revealed that as
far back as six years ago, Frank
Lane, then general manager of the
ST. Louis Cardinals, had offered
him an unprecedented one million
dollars for Mays, but that he turn
ed that deal down, too.
Discussing the two deals in de-
tail, Stoneham said:
Not Enough Talent Available For
Mays
"I told them both we weren't in
terested . . Actually, we've never
had a real definite trade offer (for
Nays. No team has enough talent
for a trade of this type.
We've had plenty of offers for
Mays, but of course, we wouldn't
consider any of them. After all,
the name of the game is players,
not money"

is the highest sum ever offered
for a player. The Boston Red Sox

to plant new lawn, or reno
vate a lawn in poor condition,
there is an alternative to cement

Studies show that in some
areas up to 800 of the lawns
are seeded with the wrong
grasses. Actually, turf authori-
ties recommend mixtures of
permanent grasses over a sim
gle grass, especially for Spring.
Mixtures of at least 4OH
Merton Bluegrass with other
improved grasses, give the best
results - thicker turf, greater
weed and disease resistance, a
beautiful green all summer
long. Merton is more economical
too - one pound of its small
seeds covers an area requiring
2 to 6 pounds of other grasses.

Will ReWrifes NBA
Record Book In
Bio LEAGUE Year

New York CAMP - For the
third consecutive season Wilt
Chamberlain has rewritten COM
pletely the National Basketball
Association record book. He
smashed nine records. including
his amazing 5O.4 per game scor-
ing average to become the first
player in MIA history to score
more than 1000 points in a single
season.
The Philadelphia Warrior pivot
ace established these records:
Most points scored (4,O29);
highest scoring average (5O4);
most field goals attempted g.
1881; most field goals made a.
1917; most free throws attempted
1883; most free throws made
1880; most minutes played g.
1922; most games scoring so
points 90; most field goals mis-
sed in one season 1929.
Wilt previously held all of these
records except the one of convert
ing free throws.
BeIlamy Gains Highest FIG
Percentage
Chamberlain was again the best
rebounder, edging his arch rival
and friend, Bill Russell, defensive
specialist of the Boston Celtics.
The Big Dipper shared 2,O52 re-
bounds for an 8O-game average of
25.6. Russell retrieved 1891 in 76
games for a 24.9 norm.
Walt Bellamy, acclaimed rookie
of the year, wiped another Cham
berlain mark, highest field goal
percentage. The first-year center
for the first-year Chicago Packers
scored 973 two-pointers in 1895
tries for .513 mark. Wilt, second
this year, tailed his shots from
the field out of 1859 attempts for
sos percentage, the identical
mark of last season.
Robertson Leads On Assist
Another record-maker was o.
car Robertson, the sophomore
backcourt star of the Cincinnati
Royals, who was credited with 889
assists, far out-distancing the re-
cord of 715 held by Bob Cousey, of
the Celtics, in the 196O-61 season.
THE Big o" also had the highest
assist average dip, displacing
his own 81 average of his rookie
campaign.
Individual scoring leaders in
cluded Bellamy, second (2,495
points for a 31.6 average); Rob
ertson, third GASP for a 30.S
average; Willie Naulls, New York

Celtics (1,417 for 1922.

How long must we suffer these
humiliations ?"
Proud OF Race
Bruton's ultimate goal, accord
ing to Sport, is to be widely ac-
cepted as a human, instead of only
as a ballplayer, to be desired for
ones personal qualities, instead of
just the professional ones.
Speaking of motel owners who
accept him as a ballpIayer but not
as a Negro, Bruton states, II was
a Negro long before I was a ball
player. And I expect to go on
being one long afterward."

Bruton Complains
About Second
Glass Treatment

New York (ANP) - Fifteen
years after Negro first played
in a major league baseball game.
vestiges of the color barrier still
remain within the game and along
the circuits travelled by baIlplay-
ers. While Negro stars have found
acceptance on the basis of their
professional ability, they are still
seeking equal status as people
rather than melely as athletes.
One of these stars, Detroit
Tigers centerfielder Bill Bruton,
is the subject of an article on "A
Negro Ballplayer's Life Today" in
the May issue of Sport magazine,
published today. ALBANIAN by
birth, Bruton was signed by the
old Boston Braves in 1850 when
he was 81 years old. After three
years of minor-league ball, he
joined Milwaukee and remained
with the club until Dec. 1860.
Wants Recognition AS Man
When Bruton was traded to De-
troit, some TIP fans - including
the governor of Wisconsin and
Milwaukee's business and COM
munity leaders - paid five dol
lars apiece to gather at a fare
well dinner" and hear the ball
player described as a Doctor of
the Science of Humanitarianism."
The Wisconsin state legislature
passed a resolution commencing
Bruton and urging him to keep his
home in Wisconsin.
This was done, the Sport article
points out, not for Bruton the
Negro or Bruton the ballplayer
but for Bruton the friend and
neighbor. But it is not that way
for him everywhere" the maya
zine reports.
when he drove about Wisconsin
and Illinois this winter making
speeches to high school groups, he
discovered the ancient faith still
existed: People who rebuffed a
Negro were all too ready to well
come a major-league ballplayer.
They still don't think we're hui
man. he says. They don't want
to rent motel rooms. They'll tell
me they have no room. Then if
they recognize me as a ballplayer,
they'll let me have it. But 1 walk
out. I don't want it if they're Of
fering it only to a ballplayer.'
Cites Indignities
Bruton's family doesn't accomp-
any him to Florida for spring
training. &. . We can't get motel
rooms and we can't get cottages.
And how many Negroes in Florida
have homes that they can rent you
fully furnished for six weeks or
so? When Bruton brought his
wife and children to Florida five
years ago - having arranged to
rent a house his wife stayed
away from the exhibition games,
The white wives could sit in the
privileged places in the box seats;
but she as a Negro - could sit
only in the bIeachers.
Even today Negro players trav-
cling from one city to another in
chartered buses with their team
mates cannot enter a restaurant
and eat with the team en- route.

Bruton says. And since we don't,
we have to find a Negro cabdriver
who can take us to a Negro res

tax bin amendments, Donald
Il, Gleason, assistant treasurer

administration appears to
seek, first. to force premature
registration Of foreign earn
ings on which current domestic
tax would be paid and, second,
to discourage new foreign in
vestments-both In order to
improve the balance Of pay
naeuts situation.
He said that the record Of

Ways and Means Committee
hearings Is replete with EVIL
dence that precisely the oppo-
site result would be achieved.

tional tax imposts or in other
ways, there viii be an adverse
effect on the balance Of pay
ments," he warned.
There has not been, Is not,
and there could not be any
economic case for either in
creasing the tax load on for
eign business earnings, or Of
nremature imposition Of tax
on such earnings" he empha-
sized.
The NAM spokesman said
American industry wants to do
all 1t can to help solve the
balance Of payments problems.
However, 1t does not like
being made the villain Of the
piece" he added. The balance
Of payments problem Is the re-
suit Of our foreign economic
policy since World War II, he
said.
For many years O primary
objective Of this policy was to
run an adverse balance to assist
free world recovery, he pointed
out. while our policy now is
the contrary, our commitments
abroad continue" he said.
