The Week In Records Bv ALBERT ANDERSON FOR ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS CHOICE ENTRIES Among the choice entries dealt ■with in this column are two very fine albums by Capitol, and three others by Hifi, Mercury, and Van guard records. On one of the two Cap’ discs, Nat “King" Cole is at his sentimen tal best, as he sings some nostalgic haiiads of the pat, and all of which tells the story of a broken romance. Among his repertoire are “Just One of Those Things,' the title seng; "When Your Lover Has Gone "; "A Cottage For ale"; ‘‘These Foolish Things Remind Me Os You' 1 and "Don’t Got Around Much Any More.” The alburn cover, depicting Nat in * bluesy mood, tips the lis tener on what’s to expect; but Cole, backed by an orchestra directed by Billy May, creates the true feeling with his warm intimate singing end styling. This waxing is a po tential smash. CALYPSOS, HOT AND SOLID The other Cap' waxing fea tures calypso*, hot and solid. Titled “Caribbean Calypsos”, the I.P brings together three of the Islands’ most fabulous ralvpso singers. They are Lord Beginner, whose real name i* Egbert Moore; Torpedo, sur names Novll Cameron; and Tony Johnson. Together, the (rio kicks up quite a storm singhne such songs as "I Will Die A Bachelor (Beginner),’’ ‘TVIKet Anti Turn Me (John s son)” “Pretty Woman (Torpe do),” “Queen Elizabeth Calyp so (Beginner)”, and “Linstead Market (Johnson)”. Followers of calypso music and. the general public will get a big !hri!l from this album. But more than, tnat, they will learn as they listen, for every calypso song tells a story of some real-life incident, and or happy. THIS ONF, WILL SELL.

LOUIS (ANPi Ruben A maro was wearing a major league preform for the First time last week, but he never expected it to happen so soon. Antaro is a Shortstop, once lab eled “good field, no hit. " He was batting .215 when he was called up by St. Louis from Rochester in the International League. With one of the strongest batting lineups in the majors, the Cardinals didn't call up Amaro because they expected him to hreak down fences. They needed more adept field ing in that key position—and, on that score, it appeared that Amaro has the qualifications. Amaro made his debut against the Milwaukee Braves and he was every bit as graceful in the field Dodgers Miss Campy, But See Johnny Roseboro As Next Catching Great LOS ANGELES (ANP) The Los Angeles Dodgers miss Roy Campanelia Os that there is no doubt witness the teams current low estate in the National league race. But it also is nice to know that Johnny Roseboro, tabbed as Cam py’s eventual successor. Is coming through. He hasn't filled Roy's shoes who can? Campy was not only a great mechanical masksman, but in' had that know hnw to gel the best from the Dodger pitching staff. But Roseboro has proved good enough to be named by players of other teams as the second best catcher in the NX he was on the Nl/s all-star this season. By virtue of this, team. Roseboro inspired enough con fidence in Manager Walt Alston that he released another veteran catcher, Rube Walker. Young Roseboro’s hitting in the early part of the season had him mound .200 mark, btu he has skid ded recently. He dropped to .207. He had hit six home runs and set on triples. What the Dodgers like about Roseboro, however, is that he Coach Brown’s Cagers Post A 9-4 Record in Pu erto Rico SAN JUAN, P. R. -- Floyd Brown r Puerto Hican basketball team posted a 9-4 record at mid season with good prospects of en tering the semi-finals of the Puerto KtCHn Basketball league in late Au i gust.

Brown punched hard and boxed j well but did not appear as sharp as he was in stoppin Ralph Dupas in i eighth round recently. He admit'- i od that bines southpaw style j bothered him. Brown took the first, third, sev- 1 i nth, 10th and 15th rounds by wide | margin although he was unable to \ land solidly enough to put bis man j away, he cut Lane’s eye and mouth, j and bloodied his nose. I ,ane lost ; his mouthpiece twice when Brown connected with right uppercuts. All three officials 1 oted for Krotvn. The referee, Ernie Say as he had been advertised. He handled all his chances and made one brilliant, play on an attempt ed sacrifice, turning it into a force out at third. CARDS NEED HIS FIELDING He was hitless, and this prompt ed Cardinals' manager Fred Hut chinson to say that he wasnt'i brought up because anybody thought he’d - hit major league pitching. “He’s never hit anywhere else,. so theres’ nothing to suggest ne might hit up here/' said the Red bird boss. Ironically. Amaro is the son of the finest hitters in Cuban base ball. “Yes,” said Amaro, “my fa ther is a fine hitter and he tries to help me He fakes me has a future and has the pn lestiai to develop. He was 25 last May 13. In a couple of years he might justify some of the claims made for him yi 1957 when he hil .388 with Caracas in the Venezuela win le.r league.

With great Falls in the Pioneeer league in 1953, he hit .310 and stole 24 oases He went into the service the next year Out in 1955. he divided the sea son with Pueblo of the Western league (.278) and Cedar Rapids of the Three-I '.235'. Then he moved to Montreal in the Inter nationa! league in 1953. There he batted .273 but hit 25 homers, ail but seven of them in (he last 4u days of the season tie divided the 1957 campaign between Brooklyn and Montreal.

But—” In the field. Ama.ro need not apologize. In his debut, he han died the first two chances easily. Then, a hard-hit bad made him range far toward third to grao the ball and make the long throw to first. That is the hallmark of a goo i shortstop. Amaro’s best contribution was his smart move to third on a bun. situation taking a throw from in fielder Ken Boyer to retire a run ner. This is a kind of play that, requires much of a shortstop's ability to return to position hi event the bunt proves a fake Amaro has been in the Cardinal system for three seasons, spend)!. , 1956 and 1957 with Houston in the Texas League.
