CogerS To Change
Nome; Ger McMilIon

chicago (ANP) - The Chicago
Packers Of the National Basket
ball Assn. last week announced
the acquisition Of Shellie McMil-
Ion, ex-DuSable High School and
Bradley University star, from the
st. Louis Hawks in a deal that
was negotiated just before the
June Is trading deadline.
The Packers obtained McMillon,
6 foot 5 inch forward who averaged
better than 10 points a game last
year, from the Hawks in exchange
for Ralph Davis, guard, who has
been hot and cold for the Chi
cagoans last season.
The Hawks also gave up Al
Ferrai, former Michigan State star,
and obtained the rights to a COL
legiate draft choice of the packers,
as part Of the deal.
1t was homecoming for McNil-
lon, who was one of the leading
stars of the sensational 1854 Du-
Sable team which went all the way
to the final in the Sweet Sixteen"
all-state prep tournament that
year.
Frank Lane, the Packers general
manager who recently made the
switch from baseball to basketball,
also announced that the Chicago
pro team will soon change its
name. The team was originally
called the Packers because it play
ed in the Amphitheater in the
stock yards, but with the recent
shift of its home site to the Coils
cum, the name becomes antiquated.

Tan Players Hit
Longest Homers Ever
Ar Polo Grounds

New York (ANP) - Lou Brock
of the Chicago Cubs and Milwau-
KEGS Hank Aaron, both tan cent
erfielders, hit a couple of 465-feet-
plus home runs here last week
that are considered the longest
circuit blows ever struck in the
Polo Grounds. Both came in win
ming games over the New York
Nets.
Brock and Aaron hit the homers
into the right and left center field
bleaChers, respectively. Brock, %,
was the only man to hit a homer
into the right center field bleach
ers in the modern history of the
park.
Aaron was the second modern
day player to hit into the left
center bleachers. Joe AdCoCk, also
of the Milwaukee Braves, is the
only other player to reach the left
centerfield bleachers at their pres
ent distance from the plate-46O
feet.
However, Brooks homer might
have travelled even farther. Ac-
cording to the boys in the press
box, the blast Travelled between
465 to ATS feet, possibly farther.
A writer for the Chicago Amer
lean had this to say about Brooks
homer:
1T is 455 feet from the plate to
the corner of a green screen, a
background in fans of the bleach
critics that stands Is feet high.
And this ball hit on top or the
edge of this screen and dropped
among the fans"
Therefore, judging from the
writer's description of the height
at which the ball struck the screen,
Brooks homer must have Travelled
some 20 feet beyond the 455 foot
marker.
Brooks homer was hit off tan
pitcher Al Jackson of the Nets,
and celebrated his 23rd birthday.
1t also celebrated the birth Of
LOUIS baby daughter, Wenda Lor-
raine, born to Mrs. Brock Friday

CordindIs Football
Team Signs Iowa
Quarterback Hollis

st. Louis CAMP - Wilburn
Hollis, star Iowa and Big Ten
quarterback, last week signed
professional football contract with
the st. Louis Cardinals Of the Ma
tional Football League.
The SO, 2O5-pound Hollis was
one of three Big Ten captains and
two other rockies signed by the
Redbirds in a move to add class to
the team, particularly to it's rookie
squad.
Hollis, however, is expected to
see plenty of action with the Card
inals, despite the fact that he
missed most Of last seasons action
with Iowa because Of a broken
wrist. 1t was because team offic-
ials were uncertain over his injury
that Hollis was made the Cardinals
ninth college draft choice last De-
cember.
However, the Redbirds plan to
use Hollis as a possible TANKER or
running back, and not as a quar-
terback. It was this habit by pro-
fessional teams of not utilizing
outstanding Negro quarterbacks at
that position that drove Mime
sofas Sandy Stephens into the
dian professional football
league.
Besides Hollis, other college
stars signed by the Cardinals were
John Elwell, Purdue end; George
Mans, Michigan end; Don Wander
Weldon, Wisconsin center lineback-
err, and Roger Wilke, Notre Dame
tackle. Elwell and Mans were also
captains of their Big Ten teams.

The Problem Years

The high birth rate of the late
194Os is a powerful factor that
enters into the grim picture Of
death and injury on our highways
and must be considered in an an
alysis of the expected toll for the
next few years.
This point was made in a report
issued by The Travellers Insurance
Companies which has been distrib-
uting annual studies Of what hap
pened during the preceding year
on our highways every year since
1881 with the exception of the
war years.
The report states that according
to state licensing authorities, about
| Is percent of all licensed drivers
are under 25 years of age. During
1861, this group was involved in
27.3 percent of all fatal accidents
and 23.3 percent of all non-fatal
accidents nearly twice what
their numbers would indicate.
There is no question that this is
the age group with the worst driv-
ing record and that it is from this
age group that we can look for
our largest number Of new drivers
in the 1905. Unless this group
can discipline itself to drive more
safely, it can be expected to be
responsible for an over-increasing
share of the highway casualties.
The other extreme in the age
group, those drivers over 65 whose
numbers can also be expected to
increase rapidly, didn't do much
better during 1861. These drivers
were involved in 7.2 percent of the
fatal accidents as compared to 6.$
percent a year ago. They make up
about 6.5 percent of all licensed
drivers.
1t constitutes a two-pronged
problem that must be solved if our
on the highways is to
diminish.

Ringing The
BELL
BY Jesse Bell

In the era of the home run,
Maury Wills of the Los Angeles
Dodgers is a refreshing throw-back
to a bygone day. In 1915 the late
great Ty Cobb set the major
league season record by stealing
SO bases for Detroit.
With more than half the season
to go Maury already has SO stolen
bases to his credit, and it seems
certain he will top the record of
Sc steals set in 1859 by Chicagos
Luis Aparicio.
Wills most spectacular perform
ance to date came in New York
a couple Of weeks ago. In a game
with the New York Nets Maury
stole second base four times -
though only three were recorded
in the record book.
On one occasion the umpire null
lifted the play because the batter
had interfered with the catcher.
Wills did not complain. He quietly
returned to first base and stole
again two pitches later.
Nearly all the experts are
giving the Los Angeles Dodgers
the inside track to the National
League pennant but very few
have taken the Los Angeles An
gels seriously in the American
league.
Yet Bill Rigney's bunch of mis-
fits and green hands, paced by
powerful Leon Wagner have been
playing sound winning baseball.

The real fight for the Do
minican Republic is just begin
ming.
After 80 years, a democratic
cally inclined government has
been installed.
All trappings of the tyranny
imposed by the late General
iSsimo Rafael Trujillo Molina
have disappeared. Less than one
year after his assassination,
only a few faceless monuments,
national chaos and misery,
save his reign from complete
oblivion,
The central question has
suddenly become: Can demo-
cratic methods-and the men
espousing them-hold together
a land crippled by bankruptcy
and fairly bursting at the seams
with new "libertad."
Political passions hang heavy
in the air. Among workers in
the city, farmers in the coun-
tryside and students in the
university, new political groups
are fighting for the power
finally wrested from the old
regime at the end of January.
Years of enforced silence have
given way to a flood of dema-
goguery. Violent arguments
erupt without warning in hotel
lobbies, on the street, in the
office. The line between per-
Sonal liberty and lawleSs license
has become blurred and often
lost from sight.
