Robinson~s-Brilliant Playing
Opening Doors For Other
Prospects in the Majors

PITTSBURGH... (ANP) ~
Branch Rickey, according to
Arch Murray, sports writer on
a large daily here, disclosed last
week that for the first time the
Dodgers are getting competition
from-another major league club
over a colored prospect. ~Al
signs indicate,~ he said, ~that
Jackie Robinson~s brilliant play
has cleared the way for others
of oy race in the major leagues.~ /

Rickey did not eall any
names, but added, ~All I know
is that the boy told me one of
our scouts that another major
league club had made him an
Rickey revealed _ that

another clyb had approached

the Brooklyn club about major

league talent among Negro 3
players.

- The Dodger owner expressed
the opinion also that ~it won~t
be long before the signing of
will. Le
just a matter of course. I'll wa
} ger that within a year or two
nobody will think anything
about it.~

With only praise for Jackie,
Rickey continued, -~~in all. my
years in baseball, I can~t recall
a player coming into the big
leagues and making good in a
new position without any previous experience there. And
that~s just what. Robinson has
done. Don~t forget he~d never
played first base in his life before we handed him a mitt in
Havana.~

As an additional fesse to
Robinson~s greatness under the
heaviest sort of; pressure, Murray observed that ~even in the
Cincinnati press box, where racial bigotry runs high, they are
finally conceding that he~s quite
a ball player.~ Robinson, points
out Murray, ~is as good an answer as any~ for the success of
the Dodgers on their current
swing through the West.

~Sugar~ Ray Robinson Absolved
of Opponent~s Ring Death;
Boxer Tells of Pre-Fight Dream

CLEVELAND sANP)
Welterweight Champlion Ray
~Robinsun was cleared
of all blame in the ring death
of his opponent,. Jimmy Doyle,
white Los Angeles scrapper, at
the title go in Cleveland arena
here June 24 The clean slate
was given Robinson by Coroner
Samuel Gerber.

At the time, at least three
stories telling of premonitions
or dreams about the death of
Dolye wer told: First story was
He said
that three nights before the fight
he had dreamed he was in the
ring with Doyle, that in a heated exchange of blows, he floored the fighter and that Doyle
lay on the canvas, unable to

risé.

~IT woke up in a cold sweat,
yelling for Jimmy %o get up~
Get up! Get up! My _ yelling
woke me up, I guess: And the
sight of Jimmy lying ther2 on
the canvas in the dream seemed

so real I had tive jitters: I could
n~t go back to sleep: I just laid
there, tossing around in_ bed.
And I felt lousy the next day.

And in the back of my m~nd, 1|

felt scared every time I thought
about the coming fight.
Another comment cam: from
Edward Delaney, 20-year-old
brother of the deceased fighter.
He said that their fight ~had a
pr2monit'on~ that something
would happen to Jimmy in the
Robinson fight and was greatly

(~~Doyle * may pe killed

-or at

loast seriously injured.~
According to Coroner Gerber,
the circum
~lstances leading up ~to. the death

of the fighter would be continued ~despite unholy pressure~
to have the probe stopped.

He had questioned _ the fighter~s~

manager, Paul Doyle (no relation) about the physical condijon of Doyle prior to the fight.
Dr. A. F. Hagedorne, Cleveland Boxing commission physician, had announced that brain
~njuries resulting from hitting
tha floor had caused Doyl:~s

death: Gerber disagreed with

that diagnosis, holding that
Ray~s left hook to the jaw was
the culprit.

Delaney had testifi: d that following the Artie Levine encounter. 15 months ago. Doyle was a
~change@ man. ~ In that fight he

suffer: brain concussion
~hrougiifgp ~knockout. Delaney
said that before the Levine

match, His brother had been ac
| ~ive, a Spas danc:r and always

~sparring around the house.~
After ihe knockout, he described
his brother as being quiet, sitting
around reading books and vowing n:ver to enter the ring again: Manager Doyle said his
fighter was in ~tip top shape in
che Robinson fight.

Infant Mortality

The lowest death rate for infants
yet recdrded~fewer than 40'in each
1,000 live births~is reported by Dr.
Sarah S. Deitrick of the CFildren~s
bureau. This represents a décrease
of more than 28 per cent in~ ten
years. The death rate for mothers
because of pregnancy or childbirth
~less than 23 for each 10,000 live
births~also is the lowest recorded,
and shows a drop of more than 60
per cent.

Cockroach Control

Cockroaches, which eat almost
anything and leave a distinguishing
odor on anything they touch, can be
controlled by applications of either
a ten per cent DDT powder or sodium fluoride in their hiding places.
A five per cent DDT spray on the
underside of tabletops, drawers, refrigerators and shelving is a supplementary treatment.

There seems to be a relationship
between good vision~ and artistic

dents examined, those who showed
superior artistic ability had excellent eye coordination and depth perception,

Up.In Clouds

The ceilometer is an ~automatic
eiectronic device which accurately
and continually measures. the
height of clouds: A. pulsating light
source throws a. beam, invisible to
the human eye in the daylight, vertically into. the sky. -A-unit 1,000
feet from the projector detects the
~scatter energy~~ produced on cloud
layers. This information, as well as
the distance between cloud bank
and ground, is transmitted to a recording device. Ceilometers at~ pres.
ent in use by weather bureaus lack
the automatic recording unit, so
that. readings must he recorded
manually at selected time intervals.
With the automatic device, cloud
ceilings over airports can be more
closely checked so that information
received for landing-and_ take-off
can be more rapidly disseminated~
all of which is important at fields
where a heavy volume of air traffic
is maintained.

Disaster Relief

The national guard is noted not
only for its war record, but also for
its peacetime achievements in its
service to state end community.
These stem from the mission of the
national guard of the several states
which is stated officially as follows:

"To provide sufficient organizations in each state so trained and
equipped as to enable them to function efficiently at existing strength
in the protection.of life and property and the preservation of peace,
order and public safety, under competent orders of the state authorities.~ In fulfilling this mission, national guardsmen have distinguished themselves particularly in
times of flood or other disasters.
They have rescued the unfortunate,
furnished medical aid, set up supply
systems, maintained communications and set up guards for the protection of life and property.

U: S. Race Hate
MOSCOW ~ (ANP) ~ Russian audiences displayed mingled emotions of pity and joy
here last week at the antics cf
Leonid Utyesev, director ~of the
State Jazz band of the Russian

Federated republic, on the
plight of the American Negro

| at the hands of Negro -hating

Americans.

His two and one-naif hour
show included songs, dances
and jokes, which included a
skit about a bragging American
trying to explain why the U. S.
chess teams lost the international chess matches to the

| Russians:

~Our chess players couldn~t

train properly,~ "the American
said, ~because in America we
can~t have black and white men
on the same square.~. Tears flowed freely when Edith, Utyesov~s daughter, sang a
ballad portraying the lynching
of Negroes: in the southern section of the United States. Donning black-face. makeup, she
sang a lullaby to her baby not
to cry because her daddy and
his. buddy ~are hanging from
that strange tree.~

~He fought in the war, because then he was not a nigger,~
the ballad says. ~But then he

Toy Popgun, Tiny Balloon

Can Cause Snow Storms:

Shooting a toy popgun, bursting a@
tiny balloon or even taking the cap
off a bottle can cause snow to fall
if atmospheric conditions are right.

When there are - super - cooled
clouds of liquid water droplets with
a temperature below freezing, the
sudden expansion of the air caused -
by shooting a popgun, bursting a,

tiny balloon or uncapping a bottle is |:

sufficient to cause snow.

Dr. Bernard Vonnegut of General~
Electric research laboratory, has
made snow with the non-scientific.
instruments, both in the laboratory,
and in the backyard at his home.

Sudden expansion of air causes a,
severe drop in air temperature.:
This drop in temperature will cause:
ice nuclei to grow at the expense

j water droplets in a capencocledl

cloud and produce snow. To form~

ice nuclei spontaneously the tem-|:

perature must drop to 31 chat
below zero.
