NEWTON Tom Carodine has signed a pro football contract with the Cleve land Browns. Just suppose the lormer mayor of Boys Town and Bobby Reynolds could have com bined their full talents in a Ne braska backfield. Again the Western League has been running into weather trou ble. Maybe they should take Journal Sports Editor Walt Dob bin’s suggestion and start the season a little later. Gene Baker was the first Ne gro to play in the Western League but Bill Bruton is the first Negro j Western Leaguer to win a regular major league position. Bruton led the Western League in triples, 27, when he played with Denver in 1951. Bruton in his first few games with Milwaukee has been sensational. He has caused the Braves to send Sam Jethroe back to the minors. Only three years ago Sam was a rookie phenom. Here at Nebraska University Jon McWilliams, Sylvester Har ris, and Charles Bryant have been performing with the top 33 men I on Coach Bill Glassford’s spring football squad. Stan Glenn had apparently won the nod as the starting catcher for the Lincoln Chiefs. While this was written before the Chiefs had played a game, Glenn had been named to the starting line up. Thofe will probably be fewer Negroes in the Western League this year. Denver has Curt Rob erts, Andy Anderson, and Pablo Bernard back from last year’s years’ pennant and play-off win ning team. Gone is their 20 game winning pitcher A1 Osorio. Bobby Prescott, who was with the Bears for a part of last season but fin ished with Hutchinson, Kansas , was still with the team at this . writing. Colorado Springs has Bill Pop< and Sam Hairston back. But gom i is their ace pitcher Connie John son, who is still getting a look bj the Chicago White Sox. Johnsor set a new Western League strike , out record last year. Lincoln last year started the season with Junior Reedy, Torr Butts, and A1 Wilmore. Butts legs | went bad and Wilmore’s arm wenl . dead. Only Reedy proved capable ! of playing Western League ball Reedy was lost too when the Phil ’ adelphia Athletics severed their , connections with Lincoln. Stan Glenn is the only Negro with the independent Lincoln Chiefs. : JUL AT imiLERS Shop Daily 9:30 to 5:30; Thursdays 10 to 8:30 Time Saving WELMAID BAC-SAVER - fil > A lime and work saving K folding clothe* basket with handy clothespin pocket that does away with tiresome bending.

Two inning' earlier the Negro, youngster from Panola, Ala., had tagged a Staley pitch to the same spot. It bounced once on the grass before skipping off the fence and ! Bruton came into third base stand ling up ahead of Enos (Country) Slaughter’s throw'. I Slaughter had a hand in the home run blast, too, and he wasn’t too happy about it. The ball I caromed off his glove as he leaned! I over the fence, and umpire Lon I |Warneke called it good for the cir cuit after first ruling a double, j The paid crow'd of 34,357, watch ing Milwaukee’s first big league in 52 years went wild. “I had my glove on it,” Slaugh ter explained in the dressing room/ “But just as it hit, my elbow banged onto the top of that' fence and jarred it loose. 1 might have caught it on a second stab, but : some fan out there behind the I fence grabbed it before I could and took off.” The grinning Bruton, a favorite here a year ago when he hit .325 for the Milwaukee Brewers of the (American Association, said Staley fed him a fast ball for the triple. He hit the same kind of a pitch ' for a sharp single in the sixth. A lefthanded hitter, Bruton has been known more for his speed than his power. Two seasons ago, with Denver in the Western League, he set a league record of 27 triples. Now in his fourth sea son of organized baseball—he spent 1950 with Eau Claire, Wis., in the Class C Northern League— he never has failed to boost his batting average. Bruton was signed by the Braves in the spring of 1950 after scout Bill Yancey recommended him. He had been playing with ithe San Francisco Club in a Ne gro League on the West Coast. ! “Stan Musial used to be my boy,” one fan told Bruton. “But, you’ve taken his place. You’ve got| him beat.” _ (i Clyde Parris and Lacey Curry! 1 were with Pueblo last year but [ have not appeared in the Dodger .lineup so far this year.

The four des 1 perate prisoners had broken out of , I jail the previous day, after bru i tally beating three guards with ' iron pipes. The gun battle with .the police finally ends with the capture of the four hoodlums. Their names are Bill Moeller, (Cass Calloway, Hal Stacey, and Babe Keller. You are especially (interested in learning which one of them killed the police detec tive, but after a thorough^ ques-! tioning of the four convicts, you I still are at a loss. Then informa tion comes in from other sources,! land you piece together the follow-1 ing facts: One of the four men was for-.1 merly in show business, has a working knowledge of several languages, and because of he good looks and apparent “polish,” acted as a front for the gang. The ugly Hal Stacey was jealous of the front, because of his good looks, and the two were con stantly arguing with each other. A few days before their first ar-( rest, the front and Cass Calloway had won $3,500 in a “suc ker” dice had been doing all right and! Jackie Robinson hadn’t had many j fielding chances as a third sacker Joe Black got off to a good start. He relieved in the Dod gers first game of the season and picked up a win with a brilliant ' performance. GEO. H.

The front and the killer 5 of Detective O’Hara were close e friends and had formerly operated t a gambling house together. Babe " Keller and the killer were part f ners and co-owners of a summer ' resort. 1 After adding up all these facts, ‘ you know which of the men killed Detective Michael O’Hara. | Who was it? | • SOLUTION I You know the front is not Hal Stacey nor Cass Calloway. There fore the front is Bill Moeller, and he is not the killer. The killer is ,not Hal Stacey, nor is he Babe Killer. Therefore, the killer must be Cass Calloway.
