TOOTHriCK SAM JONEJS BECOMES
FIRST NEGRO TO ENTER
BASEBALL'S HALL OF
FAME
By Chart's J. Livingston
CHICAGO (ANP) -"Tootle
I pick"" Sahi Jones hitherto known
' as "Sad'' Sain, last week he beI
cum-* the first Negro to enter
majrr- 'cnirvnrbaspfcall's ~ Itall of
Fame when .he pitched a no-hit
tor 1 ,i! view of 2,018 fans and
countless others on TV. to defeat
| Ue Pittsburg Pirates 4-0 in
Wviglev FiehJ here.
Jone:, obtained from Indianapolis
of tiie- American Association
became the first pitcher to re '
gutter a lio-hitter in the monthold
1055 season.
Enroute to the victory, the hig.
| serious looking right hander
struck out six, batters, including
the last three, hut walked seven,
end?witA'i&j^juble in the ninth.
--- In the nintiv inning, Jones* who
recently, pitched a two-hitter against
the Cincinnati Reds in the
same W rig ley Field, got wild and
walked the bases full. After the
third walk, manager Stan Hack
went to the mound to make the
painful iltimiisinn of whothor to
leave Sam. in the game. But h e
showed confidence in the dusky
hurier when he decided to go along
with him.
Then as the pressure and excitement
mounted, Jones settled
down and struck out the side.
It was by far the most thrilled
packed inning of the game.
Tones started the iniitttg by
walking Gene Freese, for the
s fifth walk of the gume. Prestor*
Ward then batted for the pitcher
and also drew a walk. The third
batter Tom SafTell also g o t a
fiee pass and the bases were re?
jammed.
It was then that Hack wer.t
I mif 4- rt U rt im n 4 ft 11' tirtfU Vtld
uul vu Lite inuuiit iu i/aiiv ? i tii iiia
pitcher. Whatever fie told the
toothpick grinder must have been
encouraging, however, for Jones
set down the next three batters
in older.
With an assortment of fast brea
king curves and overhand pitches
Jones first struck out Groat with
' the bat on his shoulder. Next
came Roberto Clemente, a .300
hitter. and_t-he big gun in the Pi
rates' lineup. But Sam fanned
him an the stage was set for the
i dramatic finish.
Frank Thomas swung at the
i first pitch and missed, took an
i inside ball and swung at another
; and missed. One ball, t$vo strikes.
; Jones then threw a third strike
pass Thomas to end the game,
~ with the Pirates getting exactly
i no runs and no hits,
r Jones' no-hitter was well earnt
j ed, however, as he was handicapt
pod by moments of wildness. But
in each instance, his great comeback
and brilliant plays by his
teammates pulled him through.
j jiu wrtjuvu uiiv man m uiixs act"
oml inn:;iyr, one in the third, another
in the fifth, and one in the
[. eighth prior to the ninth.
Jones' no-hitter marked the
l 97th time the feat has been acl
i complished in the history of the
j sport. It was the first in Wrigley
Field since May 2, 1917 when
Jim Vaughn of the Cubs and
Fred Toney of Cincinnati pitched
double no hitters. However, the
Redtegs won that game in t h 6
i l()th inning, 1-0.
At Indit&napolis last year Jones
won 15 and lost eight games, including
one one-hitter and a twohitter.
| He a'so had an unsuccessful tryout
with Cleveland last year.
His 1955 pitching record i s
now 1 wins and 3 losses.
Onfy two days prior to the historic
Cubs- Pirates Came, nother
tan pitcher, Big Don Newcombo
of Brooklyn; pitched a~
one-hitter against the Cubs in

Indian's Widow Los
Supreme Court Ap
. WASHINGTON?(ANP)? The
United States Supreme Court, Mon
day, dismissed the case of Evelyn
Rice against the Sioux City Memorial
Park Cemetery. The suit
was filed against the cemetery cor
porated for refusing to allow Mrs.
Rice to bury her husband, John
Rice, there because he was a Winnebage
Indian.
. The action for damage was,
brought by Mrs. Rice in the Dis- ^
trict Court of Woodbury County, \
Iowa, a few. years ago to compen-1
sate her for mental suffering supposedly
attributed to the ceme.tery's
refusal to bury her husband,
who was killed in action in Korea.
It 'was stated that services for
-Rica had ben?conducted at?the-grave
site and the burial party
lu.d disbanded before cemetery aufhnritips
disrnvprpd that. t.ho dp- I
I ceased was Indian. The burial,
r.ght was then denied because of a
restrictive covenant included i n
contracts for sale of burial lots.
This clause stated that "burial pri
vileges accrue only to members of
the Caucasian Race."
The case attracted wide attention'
when former President Truman
ordered that Sgt. Rice be
TTown~ TO Washington and buried in
Arlington cemetery.
The lower court Iowa upheld
the state's restrictive covenant
law as a defense to any action for
damage brought by Rice's widow
against the cemetery corporation,
and the Iowa Supreme court upheld
the decision in September
1953. ' .
- After a- request for rehearing
was denied the case was brought
"to the U. S. Supreme court on the
grounds that a restrictive covenant
of this sort cannot be used as
a defense to a damage action con-1
sistent with the due urocess of on.
ual protection clauses of the 14th
Amendment and the United Nation'
Charter.
The high courts split 4-to-4 last
November in its decision on the
State court's ruling. \
In last week's opinion, five justices
agreed that the high court's
decision of last November should,
be vacated and a writ of certiorari
be dismissed because Iowa
has since that time corrected this
legislation.
Since the Iowa legislature has
provided against the kind of discrimination
of which complaint i s
. made in this case, Justica stated
in the majority opinion that "we
should hesitate to pass judgement,
on Iowa for unconstitutional action.
..when it hjas already rectified
any possible error. On the oth
er hand we should not unnecessarily
discourage such remedial action
by possible condonation of this
kind issolated incident."
Three Justices did not agree that
circumstances relied on by the
court justified this dismissal.
In the dissenting opinion written
by Justice Black and joined in by
Chief Justice Warren and Justice
Douglas, it was stated that:

?OLSOM SUPPORTERS MOVE
FOR ABOLITION OF POLL TAX
MONTGOMERY, Ala.? (ANP)
It looks like "Big" Jinl 'Folsom's
foing to live up" to his promise to
rid this state of the poll tax.
Supporters of the governor in- _
rod.iced constitutional amendments
calling fr abolition of the
law whioh was passed In 11)53.
Folsom, in a recent report to the
>eople and again in a message to
he legislature, last week said that
he wanted the poll tax law abolishid
so it would cost nothing to
.ast a ballot in Alabama. .
The 1953 law was an improvement
over past poll tax laws in
that it eliminated the cumulative
of the law which meant that these
who failed to vote in past years,
nau- to pay ^ii.ou 101 futn
Lhut they wcrq. old enough to- qualify.
Thus if you were 30 and neyou
would have to pay $13.i?0 in
order to vote.
Now the most any voter t o
>ay is $3 to qualify.'In addition,
.hose over 45 have to pay nothing.
