Newcombe
La bled Showoff
In St. Louis
______
St. Louis' newspapers had a j
field day criticizing Big Don
Newcombe’s mannerism of going
to the resin bag between every
pitch. They tried to label him a
showoff for the mannerism which
has delighted the fans who root
for the big fellow each time at
oat.
Newrombe will tell you it’s no
mannerism —this calling for the
resin bag so much, for his reason
is to keep him out of court. Six
years ago, in a game against
Philly at Ebbets Field, the bat
slipped out of Newk’s hand and
hit a spectator. The woman
claimed injury to her arm and
sued for $3,500. The case has
just been settled out of court
for $250.
Says Newk: “My hands per
spire more than most guys! I
have to go to the bag a lot; i
sometimes two and three times a [
pitch.”
When asked why others didn’t
do itK he said: "Other guys use
pine-tar on their bat handles.
But I can’t use it because it
makes my hands too sticky and
I wouldn’t be able to pitch.”
Thus the mannerism will stand.
And it plus Newcombe’s .405 hit
ting and his pitching (11-1)
make him one of the biggest
drawing cards in baseball.

$258,000 Memorial Turned
Down By Rep. Diggs
Congressman Charles C. Diggs,
Jr. (Michigan Democrat) is vig
orously protesting a bill approved
by the House Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee appropriating
$258,000.00 for the creation of a
memorial honoring the legendary
American Indian Chief, Crazy
Horse.
Mr. Diggs, a member of the
committee, is opposed to the
idea of government funds being
used to construct memorials for
any particular racial or national
ity group. He feels that any of
this type should be one which
“encompasses the representation
of each group and inidcates that
all Americans of various races
have made some major contribu
tion to our culture.”
Representative Diggs made it
plain that he has the same opin
ion of a similar measure suggest
ing a memorial to Booker T.
Washington. He noted, however,
that the Washington Bill has
been ignored by the committee
for the past ten years.
The young Michigan lawmaker
insists that group commemora
tions should have “A theme based
on the cultural pluralism that has
made America great.”
“To spend $258,000.00 of feder
al money which comes from tax
payers of all groups to memoral
ize one particular group at the ex
clusion of all others,” Diggs told
the committee, “Does not con
form to our democratic philo
sophy.”
i Congressman Diggs promised
to carry his fight against the
Crazy Horse Memorial to the
House floor.
While stating his intent to fight
• the bill, Diggs declared that
there is no member of the In
terior and Insular Affairs Com
mittee who is more sympathetic
| than he to the problems of In
dians. His general sympathy and
concern with regard to problems
facing all minority groups, he
said, has been well established.
Diggs pointed out that if the Con
I gres3 really wishes to memorial
ize the contributions made by
I Indians to American progress and
I culture, there are many other
ways in which the objective could
be accomplished with greater
benefit to the group.
There are several measures
now pending in Committee, he
said, such as House Bill No.
5838 to provide that payments be
made to certain members of the
i Pine Ridge Sioux Tribe of In
dians as reimbursement for dam
| ages suffered as the result of the
establishment of the Pine Ridge
aerial gunnery range, and to pro
vide a rehabilitation program for
the Pine Ridge Sioux Tribe of In
dians. There are other measures
to make adjustments for inequit
able treatment in the past andJ

TAN Tells
Of Negro
Show Feuds
Fifteen sizzling feuds that
flared up oven the past 25 years
among Negroes in show business
are revealed in a recent issue of
TAN. Some of the feuds re
sulted in gunplay, even murder.
Most would like to be forgotten
by the participants.
Perhaps the most famous of
all were the two involving Cab
Calloway, the Hi-De-Ho king.
present of various segments of
the Indian population.
He further stated that memor
ials for particular groups should
be privately financed; that only
in such case as a memorial gave
recognition to the contributions
made by all of the races forming
a part of American society and
culture would he favor its erec
tion out of government funds.
In keeping with his position,
Congressman Diggs stated that
he is preparing to introduce a
bill to set up a commission whose
purpose would be to plan the es
tablishment of a memorial re
flecting the inter-cultural contri
butions of Americans of all racial
groups.
A few years ago, when (Cab and
his bdnd were bound for Europe,
a young trumpet player named
John Birks Gillespie, armed with
a knife, permitted his temper to
flare out of control. He chased
! Cab on deck, but fortunately the
I band leader kept out of the way
j of an angered Mr. Gillespie, bet
I ter known as Dizzy.
Back in Prohibition days, Cab j
was also main attraction in an- [
other feud with “Red” Roscoe j
Simmons. Cab challenged Red to
a fist duel when he stole Cab’s
favorite girl friend. Promoters
got word of the impending fight
I and had the pair agree to meet
j in a 3-rounder during one of the
Jweekly fights held at the 8th
Regiment Armory. News of the
fight received reams of publicity
[ and for weeks Cab trained dili
| gently, running through the park
[every morning, boxing with train
ed sparring partners and getting
proper rest. His adversary s
training fare consisted of gin,
cigarettes and little or no rest.
The night of the fight 8,000
jammed the stadium. Cab, in
perfect condition, pranced into
the ring, and Red, flabby, and
just from a speakeasy, staggered
to his corner. Betting odds
went up on the band leader.
When the bell sounded Cab dem
onstrated some of the fancy foot
work he had recently learned, j

Red, sleepy eyed, wound up, took
aim at the on-rushing Cab and
landed a haymaker on his nose
that flattened him. Cab’s nose
spouted blood and when the flow
would not stop, the fight was
halted. Red, with one punch, was
declared the winner.
Another feud between two
prominent stars saw Lena Horne
and Hazel Scott as antagonists.
It was during the 1940’s when
both were appearing at New

Hazel, then the rage of New

getting equal billing with her.
Even though they shared the
same dressing room they hardly
spoke to each other and the feud
did not get below boiling point j
until Hazel was moved to the
new Cafe Society, Uptown.
