EIgin Baylor Tops
Chamberlain In
PIdYoffs SCORING

New York (ANP) - Elgin Bay
lor, the Los Angeles Lakers great
all-around star, topped Wilt Cham
berlain of the Philadelphia War
riors and all other scorers in total
points scored, with SOP, in the re-
Gently concluded National Basket
ball Assn. playoffs, according to
final statistics.
The sensational Baylor led the
scoring despite the handicap of
having to play while on leave from
the Army at Fort Lewis, Wash.
Because he missed several regular
season games with the Lakers fol-
lowing his induction into the Army,
there was feeling that he would
lose his shooting eye.
Nothing of that kind happened.
In fact Elgin Baylor set a new
MIA single game playoff record
by scoring 81 points in one of the
best-of-seven championship games
against the Boston Celtics. His
SOP points in IS games were good
for a 38.6 per game average The
average was also a record for the
playoffs.
Runnerup in scoring to Baylor
was, of course, Chamberlain, with
APO points and a $50 average in
II games.
Jerry West, also of the Lakers,
was third with 400 points and a
31.5 average.
Bill Russell for the world cham
pions Celtics hit for 314 points in
IA games for PA average.

Ringing The
BELL
BY Jessie Bell

This column is to be devoted to
a weekend sports roundup. 1t is
a pleasure to offer it to sports
enthuiasts of this newspaper.
A summary of local and national
sports items of interest will be
covered in this space.
This is the season of the thin
clads, the home run, spring foot
ball, and the finale to basketball.
Each Of these sports have placed
mark in the history of sports
the past few weeks.
Texas Southern Dominates
In track a strong Texas South
ern team continued to amaze
sports scribes and dominate Spring
competition by sweeping all col
lege relay events at the Kansas
Relays at Lawrence, Kansas.
The mile relay time of 3:1l
made by the Texas runners was
a meet record.
Freshman middle distance run
ner Ray Saddler was selected Most
Valuable Athlete, beating Austrail-
ian-born Pat Clohessy of the
University of Houston.
The Texas team was the first
Negro college team to be allowed
to participated in the Texas relays,
a few weeks back and they ran
away with all of the honors.
Closer To Home
The inimitable Bill MCMoore's
debut as South His track coach
was very promising. His team
brought home II trophies from the
first annual Bloomington Relays,
which was a fine tribute to Bill"
and his thin clad charges.
If "BilP' can instilI his exub-
Grant energy into the South Hi
youngsters who go out for track,
it will not take long for the
Tigers to produce champion
ship team.
Carleton Relays Saturday
This weekend track teams from
the Twin Cities journey to North
field, Mimi, for the annual Garlic
ton College Relays.
Los Angeles Lakers Coming Along
The near perfect Boston Celtics
battled Los Angeles to their fourth
straight national basketball assoc
iation title, thus topping the old
Minneapolis Laker mark. The Gel
tics beat the Lakers 10 to 1O7
in the seventh game of a best of
seven series.
Next season however the Mime
apolis owned, Los Angeles based
club led by the amazing Elgin Bay
lor will be helped by center Leroy
Ellis of st. Johns. The Lakers will
be tough, maybe tough enough to
start a string of their own. Watch
out next season Bill Russell and

Spring Football

the CeltlCS, the LakerS are on the
move!
Spring Football
The image of the mighty Golden
Gophers was furnished somewhat
a few Saturdays back by an in
cident at a Minneapolis club in
volving Negro athletes from the
University Of Minnesota. With this
incident may have gone the OPP
portunity to recruit promising
young Negro athletes.
At last count 12 boys of color
have visited the University, sew
EN- of these boys have expressed
a desire to return next Fall.
Incidents of the kind which oc-
CURED at the Minneapolis Athletic
Club paint a poor image of our
fair state. We hope in the future
such incidents will not occur in
our communities.
Hats Off To The Winning Twins
Maybe it is too early in the
season to get excited, but the
Minnesota Twins winless at home,
have made an suspicious start
away from home. The Twins in the
past few weeks have played sound,
heads-up baseball With a few
breaks they could be challenging
the powerful NY. Yankees for
first place.
1t is always good to be on the
winning side. Fellows like Vic
Power, Earl Battey, Rich Rollins,
and Lenny Green are going to
make many enjoyable afternoons
for the home crowds.

Money Is The Goal

Money Is The Goal
The players, all familiar figures
to baseball fans, invested in %
southside slum dwellings current
ly under investigation and pending
court action, through a seemingly
profit-gouging corporation called
the Consolidated Investment Assn.
Many of the players were listed
on the board of the corporation,
headed by former semi-pro player
and ex-city air pollution inspec-
ton, Patrick Wagner.
The names of the players, which
came to light with the exposure of
the corporation for building code
violations, read like a WHO'S
WHO" in baseball.
They include, of all people, Ores
ties Minoso, former Sox player
now with the St. Louis Cardinals,
and perhaps the most popular Pale
Hose player in the past so years.
Minoso evidentally followed the
counsel of others in investing in
the firm, whose announced aim is
to buy low-price, rundown build
ings and turn them into profit
making ventures.
Ball players who were listed as
investors in the corporation in
clude:
Jimmy Dykes, a former White
Sox manager now coaching for the
Milwaukee Braves; Sherman Lol-
lar and Louis Aparicio, both of the
White Sox; Ted Kluszewski and
Jim Rivera, Walt Dropo and Cal
McLish, former Sox players and
Cletis Boyer New York Yankees
third baseman.
Even Charles Comiskey, former
White Sox vice president, was list
/ ed. But Comiskey's name was re-
portedly listed "prematurely." In
I terviewed on the matter, Comis-
key, who is no longer connected
with the team, said he would be
happy to join when "the corpora
ton is in order"
Many Violations
The buildings owned by the
corporation were charged with
many building violations. There
were 321 in one building alone. All
were located on the densely popul-
ated southside, where most Ne
groes live. One building, the john
son Arms, a eight-flat building
converted into As units and stuffed
with 81 tenants, is located within
stones throw of Comiskey Park.
Other most outstanding slum
traps include the Hayes Manor (16
units converted to 79), Polk Manor
Us tenants in 68 units and 321
violations), the Madison Manor
(nine-flat building converted into
80 units), and the Franklin Build
ing Charged with 200 violations) O..
The vast majority of tenants in
these buildings are Negroes.
Minoso, incidentally, once lived
in an apartment hotel here, the
Wedgewood Towers, located in the
vicinity of the Franklin Building.
No report has so far been dis
closed on the individual profit of
the players, but indications are the
high rentals charged for these
semi flop houses" brought huge
profits to the corporation. Rent in
most slum buildings on the south
side range from 500 a month and

American AirIines
Plans Major Outlay

NEW YORK, Oct. Is (AP).-
American Airlines moved yes
terday to step up its freight
business, announcing purchase
of $50 million in new equip
ment for delivery late next
year and in early 1864.
G. Marion Sadler, general
manager, said orders for four
Boeing 7O7-323C jet freighters
make American the first do
nestle airline to buy jets ex-
clusively for cargo.
The craft are designed to
carry $4,000 pounds of freight
at 600 miles an hour for dis
tances up to $500 miles nom
stop.
American and other carriers
rely now largely on adapted
passenger designs.

Stock Prices

Trading Active

NEW YORK, Oct. Is (AP) II.
The stock market cut away
a minor percentage of yester-
days out-size gain in fairly
active trading early this after
noon.
The decline would ordinarily
be described as sharp one but
in relationship to yesterdays
recovery sweep-one of the big
gest of the year-it was not
very significant.
The ticker tape ran late in
a couple of bursts of heavy
trading. Overall volume, while
brisk, was slower than yeSter-
day,
The market was down from
the start, continuing a reversal
of the rally which got under
way on the Pacific Coast Ex-
change late yesterday when
many issues closed well below
their final prices on the East
Coast. The reversal was timed
with a report that Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev, in a message
to President Kennedy. gave no
indication of a conciliatory view
of the Cuban crisis.
At the same time, profits
were taken by traders. AS SELL
ing continued today, the down.
side pressure was great enough
to cause many delayed OPEN
ings of leading stocks which
sold several points below their
best prices Of yesterday.
Brokers said that many po-
tential sellers, waiting for a
more favorable opportunity to
unload stocks, followed the old
market maxim of Selling on
strength" and placed orders
late yesterday and early today.
The accumulation of sell orders
was so great that many stocks
did not open until late in the
morning.
A number of volatile
growth" issues, however, re-
duced their worst losses taken
early in the day.
The decline affected most
sections of the list. While some
leading issues were down 2 or
more points, most declines were
less than yesterdays gains.
Not until early afternoon did
Wall Street receive a fresh,
solid report on the Cuban
crisis, the news that a Cuban
bound Russian tanker was in
tercepted but was allowed to
proceed. There was no imme-
diate price reaction.

A Kind of Absurdity

Little more than a week ago, Just
after our State Department had granted
him its too-quick diplomatic recognition,
President Abdullah Sallal of tiny
Yemen's new revolutionary govern
ment" attacked our country with pre-
sumptuousness of a very silly sort. II
advise the American people," he said,
ito demand an account from their lead
ers ministers and responsible persons
for their reckless policy"
And now this strange little man
who apparently is vastly ignorant of
the free West-has broadcast a speech
In which he has boasted of being armed
with the --latest modern rockets" These
weapons, he has said, he intends to use
against King Saud OF Saudi Arabia and
King Hussein Of Jordan. Thus, address
ing himself to both these leaders, he
has had this to say: 1--WE are determined
to build a strong national army. You'll
see this army In near days. You'll see
1t in the Arabian Peninsula. This
army's force Is preparing TO crush and
destroy you and TO demolish your
palaces and bury you under the rubble."
Nothing could be less likely, OF
course, than that Yemen-which Is
about as upmodern as a country can
be-is equipped with rockets much more
significant than those used for fire
works at fairs and the like. Neverthe-
less, since Brigadier Sallal has the mill
tary support Of Nasser's Egypt, and since
he has Just signed a couple OF agree
mcnts with the Soviet Union, his in
cendiary words against Jordan and
Saudi Arabia are we'll worth noting.

Call for Gen. Macarthur

Long before his contributions to
victory in World War II and Korea,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur developed an
interest in athletics he retains to this
day. The story often is told how he
follows the Army football team, par
ticularly on those days when everything
else StopS-when his West Point, which
he once superintended, plays Navy.
Now, only a few days before his
83d birthday, General Macarthur has
been called back to that mild form Of
belligerency most of us enjoy in one
guise or another, whether it be the
gridiron, the diamond or the squared
ring Ito crib from the sporting writers)
President Kennedy has asked the Gen
eral to use his tact and influence to
settle the troublesome feud between
the American Athletic Union and the
National Collegiate Athletic Association,
over the right to sanction athletes for
the next Olympic games.
II 1t is not a matter of life and
death, to which Gen. Macarthur has
devoted so much of his service, 1t is
a measure Of national pride to have
our best forces available for the 1864
Olympics. Every American should be
gratified that this distinguished leader,
who more than 80 years ago headed
the American Olympic Committee, has
been given another assignment by the
White House. Wen wager right here
that he is equal to the job.

Red Rivalry in Asia

Considered in relation to the ide-
illogical rift between Moscow and
Peking, the border compact Just signed
by Red China and Outer Mongolia may
seem to have exceptional significance.
Actually, however, there probably is less
in it than meets the eye. This is so be-
cause as far back as the spring of 1860,
apparently with the Kremlin'S blessing,
the two countries agreed upon treaty
of friendship and mutual assistance.
AS a result, ever since that time,
Outer Mongolia, although member Of
the Soviet bloc and although it has de-
clared itself on MoScow'S side as far as
party-line dogma Is concerned, has been
cooperating closely with the Chinese
Communists. It has been doing this be-
cause the latter are committed, finan-
cially and otherwise, to help it carry out
number of agricultural and industrial
projects, including irrigation and elec-
trification, designed to promote its eco
nomic progress.
Accordingly, it is not surprising that
Mongolian Premier Umzhagin TSedenbal,
during his visit last week in Peking, gave
voice to almost fulsome language to
thank Red China for its help and to
predict that the new border-d delineating
agreement will be an important con-
tribution to the further consolidation
and development of the profound and
fraternal friendship between the two
peoples" Perhaps these turgid words
offend the Kremlin's ears, but the
present official line in Moscow suggests
that the USSR is not worried about the
matter.
Still, fact worth noting is that
Outer Mongolia-which has a popula-
ton of only about million largely
nomadic people in an area encompass
ing over twice that of Texas-borders on
Soviet Siberia. To say the least, there
fore, the Kremlin has reason to take
more than passing interest in the news
that this former ASiatic province of the
Cars, and long a satellite of the USSR,
appears to be cultivating ever-cloSer ties
with Red China-which may well have
ambitions for territorial expansion into
the empty spaces now embraced in
what might be called the Oriental part
of the USSR.
AS to that, what the Kremlin can
not ignore is that Red China will have
population of over billion in the rela-
lively near future This is a portentouS
fact that is bound to have a massive
Influence on the shape and nature Of
Asia and the world beyond The Russians
undoubtedly have the matter we'll in
mind-so much so that they can be
counted upon, even If they seem to well
come it, to look with hard and search
ing eye on the Mongolian border treaty.
