Don And Roe The faltering Brodklyn Dodgers Tuesday put everybody on the pitching staff on the market except Don Newcombe preacher Roe and Dan Bankhead. At midnight tonight the bars will go so on all except waiver transtions. Tuesday and Wednesday. Branch Rickey and his son were in frantic last minute conferences in in effort to bolster their sagging pitching staff. All of the pitchers, except NewCombe, Roe and Bankhead, are considered expendable by the Doder brain trust. These include Rex Barney, Ralph Branca and Jack Banta. Late Wednesday Branch Rickey, Jr, emerged from a long conferrence with his father and commented: "It's too late for anything to break today. But could be something will pop today." He added: "Only once have we come togetr with another club to a point where we agreed to think about it. We are obviously after an established pitcher and we are looking for a club that is desperate enough to deal one off to us-say, on a three-for-one basis." Although Burt shotton, the Brooklyn manager, did not take part in the all-day conferences, young Rickey said: "Shotton knows what we're after and he is abreast of all developments." Rickey, Jr., said that the time element is important. "What. I mean," he said, "is that you can't offer, let us say, Newcombe— because be won't go to two clubs at the same time. If you have a deal cooking for one player and have offered two for him, you can't offer the same two to another club until the first one is canceled." Rickey said he has talked with Leo Durocher and Chub Feeney of the Giants—presumably for either Larry Jansen or Sheldon Jones— but said the conversation has never advanced far enough to call in Horace Stoneham. The Dodgers are interested in Will Werle, Cliff Chambers and Murry Dickson of the pittsburgh pirates, and Herman Wehmeier of the Cincinnati Reds.

ONE WEEK STARING REGULAR PRICES Associated Booking Corp., N. Y., Presents; IN PERSON WORLD'S GREATEST EXPONENT OF VERSATILE PIANO PLATING AND CELEBRATED They Call Ivory Joe: "Rambling Fingers" ON OUR SCREEN Starring Kent TAYLOR and Robert ROCKWEU Johnny Otis and Little Easter. Promoters Seek Two Championship Bouts Matchmakers were attempting Wednesday to line up championship bout between Lee Savold and Ezzard Charles, and Joey Maxim and Ray "Sugar" Robinson. Jim Norris, head of the IBC, revealed that he is negotiating for a fight between Charles and Savord for the undisputed world. heavyweight title. The bout would be held in Yankee Stadium in September. At the same time, Teddy Brenned former St. Nicholas arena matchmaker, declared that he is going to match Ray "sugar" Robinon, world welterweight 'champion, With Joey Maxim for the world light heavyweight title. Brenner said that he hat a backer who would guarantee Maxim $25,000 to fight Robinson, "somewhere and sometimes." Jack Kearns the light heavyweight's manager, said that he was interested in the offer. Robinson s manager Gorge Gainford, said lie would accept Brenner's offer of 10 per cent, if the fight takes place before September. Gainsford thinks the winner of the Jake LaMotte-Rocky Graziano middleweight title fight at the Polo Grounds June 28 might be persuaded to fight Sugar Ray in September. "What can Robinson lose flghting Maxim? Gatvford queried. Then he answered his own question with one word—"Nothing." Principals in the Savold-Charles fight were quiet to point out that: the match faces three obstacles, which are: (1) Charles is due for another physical examination in August to determine whether his strained heart muscle will prevent further fighting. (2) The IBC and the New York Bxing managers guild are still squbbling over television receipts.

Huntly said that his schoolmate threw the rusty sparkplug at him when he refused to share the crackers. Coming To The Palace June 18 — Ivory Joe Hunter who checks in at the Palace Theatre for one week beginning June 18 is doing repeat sell-out business all along the line. The' popular singer aplanist with his recording band played to packed houses on their last engagement here in early Spring. The climb to fame has been a long hard pull, for Ivory Joe, now riding with fame has known the seamy as well as the sunny side of life. When Beatrice Tabor (now Mrs. Ivory Joe) met Hunter, he was a longshoreman by day, playing a few hours at night in a smoke-filled cabaret in Houston. Beatrice, who is a nurse, persuaded Ivory J o e to give up his job and devote all his time to music. In 1942 the Hunters moved to California Beatrice became his manager, a job the has held ever since. Hunter's first recording, "Blues at Sunrise" was a private venture, cut on an Ivory label. It is now a collector's Item Ivory Joe and Beatrice cooked up an idea to start a record company For 13 consecutive Sundays. Hunter played a matinee dance. With the proceeds they financed the short-lived Pacific Records. The third time wasn't the charm either. Exclusive Records took the master on "Blues at Sunrise" but they laid it upon the shelf There was also a contract with 4 Star. Finally King Recordings put Hunter, on their label and the Juke boxes began to tingle with Hunter tunes. Last year Hunter signed with M-G-M records and his first releases for that company have made "history. While in New York recently, Hunter cut his second session for M-G-M. While Hunter's record's are riding high, his personal appearances are no less phenomenal. Playing to standing room only the composer of "I Almost Lost My Mind" and "I Need You So" will treat Memphis patrons to an unforgettable session of Blues, Sweet and Hot when he stops by for a week at the New Palace Theatre.

White Sox Drop Yankees, 5-2 A home run by Dave Philly with two on base after two batters were retired produced a 5 to 2 victory for the Chicago White Sox Wednesday over the New York Yankees. The triumph was the 4th straight for the Pale Hose, their longest winning steak of the .season, and the second ninth-Inning victory over the Yanks In two days. The White Sox trailed 2 to 1 when they came to bat for the last time. They began their rally after two were out when pinch hitter Floyd Baker singled. Baker went to second after Luke Appling batted for Pitcher Bill Wight/ and walked. Chico Carrasquel then singled Baker home with the tying run. Joe Page trotted out to the pitcher's mound to replace Allie Reynolds, but this strategy that worked so often for the Yankees last year backfired when Philly belted the third pitch into the left centerfield stands.

Women Deplore Racial Injustice At their annual meeting here, members of the board of directors of the National Council of Catholic Women declared that the "nation" from racial discrimination and called for its immediate removal from the American scene. Their statement is as follows: "If the United States is to maintain a position of moral leadership among the nations of the world. Its citizens must realize that the nation suffers whenever acts of discrimination are practiced within Its own boundaries against members of minority groups; in addition to the injustice to the victim, the international prestige of the country is also weakened Catholic women deplore all acts of injustice both because they harm human beings and because they do injury to their native land." The board scored "artificial birth limitation" in occupied areas as a solution to the over-population problems; and applauded the stand against euthanasia taken at a recent meeting by the Council of the World Medical association which represents 500.000 physicians in 40 nations. HANDY PARK AT TREZEVANT JOHN WAYNE in Also Tyrone POWER Gene TIERNEY COMING SOON! "THE RAVENS" And JOE THOMAS BAND He was THE GUNFIGHTER . . . GREGORY PECK as The Gunfighter with HELEN WESTCOTT MILLARD MITCHELL JEAN PARKER THE SPORTS GRILL Leo Durocher, smart peppery and pugnacious, was in a particularly truculent mood today as he announced: "The best ball player in the game today is my second baseman, Eddie Stanky." That rather stunned us for a moment but after getting our breath back, we asked Leo If a lad named Stan Musial was still playing ball for the Cardinals. And wasn't a fellow named Ted Williams still with the Red Sox? We also suggested that another named Joe DiMaggio was" considered pretty fair in some quarters. . ." . The other day in St. Louis I told Umpire Goetz that Musial was getting four strikes all the time," said Leo "Mind you, I'm not questioning the honesty of any one umpire. They all gibe the. great hitters like Musial, DiMaggio and Williams, the benefit of the doubt on the close ones. "If only my own pitchers said this I'd think they were alibi-ing. But you can ask any pitchers in the game and they'll tell you the same thing. "Here's another thing The umpires realize that fans don't come out to the ball park to see fallows like-Musial. DiMaggio and Williams strike out, The fans want to see them hit and unconsciously the umpires agree with the fans." . "Take a banjo hitter like Durocher (Leo was then known as the All-American out). He knocks down the third baseman who promptly draws an error. But If the third baseman boots one not half as hard on me or Ruth We get a hit on the grounds that it was not too hot to handle." Having read all this, we'd like to ask would you trade stanky for Musial, Williams or DiMaggio? That's what we think too.

No longer we the spirit entreat; We make our lives insecure. We've lost the joy of Christian living: Feeling life's unholy sting. No longer we. His love engage, Or hear the bells of heaven ring. We've lost the touch of fellowship; Giving ourselves to arrogant living. No longer we, repentant feel. Or nurse the spirit of forgiving. We've lost the tinge of bouyant living: Falling to avoid the dross. No longer we, the Kingdom vision, By the way of Calvary's cross.
