SEMI-PRO LEAGUE NEWS Things really happened last week, baseball wise. The inter - city series between Nashville and Memphis continues to create a lot of interest and rivalry. This year the Capital City Stars came to town Sunday and played a double header, winning the first in the seventh inning with a four -run outburst of 7 to 3. The Defense Depot team came roaring back to take the night cap 3 to 1, thus making it an even split. Several home runs were hit. One of the longest, if not the longest ball hit of the year, was by "Big Bill" Mathews. It went all the way up on the hill in right center field for the Defense Depot and another by Jerome Hoseclaw of Nashville. The second game was a pitching duel led by Houston Harrison of Nashville and Melvin Delaney of the big "M." The score was 3 to 1 with DeLaney getting the best of it. The series will continue this weekend in Nashville with a single game probably Saturday, and a double header Sunday, pending weather conditions. Rain has, halted the series several times in recent years The Flamingo Carriers were prevented, from playing a team from Victoria., Miss., by park police who said they had instructions from the Recreation Dept. to that effect. The reason given was that Gene Cumby, manager of the Carriers, is accused of not fultilling his obligations as to payment fur use of lights at Bellevue Park earlier in the season, which charges he denies. However, the police remained in the park and the team refused to go on the baseball field. Manager Robert Mitchel will take his team to Nashville this week to try and bring back a couple of games thus winning the series for the first time. The series began in 1956 with the Memphis Grays meeting the Morocco Giants. The Giant won 3 to 2 Let's hope they can do the trick this time. SEE JACK at ALG LIQUOR STORE 575 MISSISSIPPI BLVD. SOUTHLAND GREYHOUND PARK C. J. UPTON PRESIDENT BERNARD RILEY GEN. MANAGER Could Have Beat Dempsey, Clay Declares Cassius Clay brashly declared Sept. 17 he could have knocked out Jack Dempsey in the second round had he fought the great Manassa Mauler at his peak. Cassius made his Dempsey brag while receiving the Ring Magazine's World Championship Belt in a ceremony at the magazine's headquarters in Madison Square Garden. Ring publisher Nat Fleischer proclaimed Clay "still world heavyweight champion" despite the fact that the World Boxing Association. (WBA) had stripped young Cassius of his title last Monday. When Dempsey was informed of Clay's remark, Jack diplomatically commented: "You've got to expect statements like that from young fighters. Every young champion thinks he could lick any man that ever lived." But Mickey Walker, former welterweight and middleweight champion, was loss polite — as he later sat across the table from Jack in Dempsey's restaurant. Said Mickey: "Jack could flatten that- Clay bum right now. He can't fight. Why — with two weeks of training I could flatten him too." Dempsey is 69; Mickey, 63. Clay, who appeared somewhat plump in his dipper silky gray suit, announced that he would not sue the WBA for declaring his title vacant because of his signing on Monday for a return championship fight with ex-champ Sonny Liston at Boston; Nov. 16. "Nobody's peyin' any attention to, the WBA," explained the, fast-talking Clay. "Everyone knows titles are won and lost in the ring." Cassius said he now weighs 230 pounds. He flys to Miami Benen Thursday night, and will resume training there. He expects to scale "about 223" when he steps into the ling at Boston against Liston, whom he stopped at the start of the seventh round in their first light at Miami Beach last Feb. 25.

The Negro, Robert Manor, 34, is being held in connection with the slaying last week of Miss Lucile Williams, 66, a retired nurse. Attorney Edward J. Goodwin said he visited Manor at the savannah city jail Monday night and said "the police wouldn't even let him put on his pants while I talked to him." Goodwin said he found Manor naked, "with nothing but a cold, lard floor to sit on. "A lawyer shouldn't be made to talk to a client when a client doesn't even have on his pants," Goodwin said. Police Chief Leo Ryan said Manor was not allowed to put on clothes because he had indicated "he was going to do away with himself," if he had the opportunity. Manor has confessed orally, according to police, that he killed Miss Williams. However, he has signed no written confession. Manor, a handyman, was arrested Sunday. He was identified as having worked in Miss Williams' yard on the day of the murder. Miss Williams was choked and later placed in a bathtub half full of water.

Serving the Tri-State Area for 41 years JA. 7-6144 or BR 6-2593 YOUR PLAYERS IMPRESSIVE Saturday, September ber 19, the Morris Brown College Purple Wolverines held their An— nual Black and White football game. The final score being 12-12 in the favor of the Black team does not indirect the type football played in the game. However the score did indicate that both tou are ready for both offensive and defensive play. Leading the attack for the Blacks was Eddie Henderson, who did a great job in leading his team to victory. Impressive in the game was the running of Eddie Fennell, a 205 1b. jnior end of Savannah, and George Boxman, a 183 lb end of Atlanta who loked great on his pass catching assignments. Freshman, Tommie Hart a 200 lb. Tackle, was great in the Black line Eddie Dean also did a good job on deefnse as he intercepted and returned one for about 30 yards. The Blacks won, bus the Whites had their moments too. George Brown started at quarterback for the White team and was assisted by Clarence Darden a Freshman quarterback of Rockmart, Ga., who was very impressive as he led the White team with his signal calling. Most impressive was Darden's accuracy in passing the ball, and the he is not afraid to be hit. Making a good showing for the Whites with his running was William Jones, a converted halfback. James Bing, who seems to be coming into his own, was great on both offense with his running and on defense with his interceptions and breaking up pass plays. On the whole the Wolverines coaching staff was satisfied, but looks ahead now to smoothing out the rough place as we approach our first name with Be College at Columbia. Interracial Day In D. C.
