JACKIE ROBINSON

' Shag Shaugnessy, International League president, would
rathér talk about Jackie Robinson's~ performance in the little|:

world series than-anything he has seen in the big show. ~He's
the smartest ~ball played I have seen in 20 years,~~ Shag insists.. 1

Praise from Shag is praise. inde~i! /jrother International

~ Leaguer'claims Jackie could bunt.260 in the National League.

So let's all keep our fingers crossed that we see our boy in ac

~ LOUIS IN HONOLULU EXHIBITION

Joe will box a four-round exhibition against Cleo Everett
of Detroit in Honolulu Nov. 11. The two fighters will fly to
the coast on Nov. 8. Accompanying Joe and Everett will be
Marshall Miles, Manny Seamon, Louis~ trainer, and Leonard

Reed, a friend.
PAUL PATTERSON STARS FOR ILLINOIS

I don~t know what is~ wrong with Buddy Young, other
than that he must be a marked man. It seems to me that the
Illinois opposition~ has kept him bottled up pretty well, in the
Illini's last games. But Paul Patterson is really going to town.
He scored one of his team~s touchdowns last Saturday. And
has been doin lendid job so far this season.
DAUGHTRY AND GATES WILL
APPEAR. HERE SO

The Buffalo Bisons ee team will open their home
season on Nov. 9 and we:will be able to get a chance to see our
boys in action. _ Let's all hope that they have a big season. Although personally I don~t think tha twe have cause for worry,
because they both ate great basketball players. So let~s boost
the Buffalo Bisons Basketball team, by making as many of
their games as wé possibly can.
