BATTING CHAMPION OF CAROLINA LEAGUE
Danny Moregon, Cuban Negro of the Hi-Toms Baseball
team, is the 1955 batting champion with 165 safe blows in
510 trips, for an average of 324 .... Ernie Banks, Chicago
Cubs crack, shortstop set record with his 40th homer of the
campaign last Friday. The blow came in the second inning
and upped his runs batted in total to 101 for the 137 games
he’s played. Banks, born in Dallas, Texas, and sold to the
Cubs by the Kansas City Monarchs at the close of the 1953
season was inserted into the Cub’s lineup two days after
labor day and has been a regular since . . . Roy Campanella
said its a $64,000 question as to who will win the American
League Pennant. He says that the Yankees and Red Sox
have so many games to play between themselves that one
of them will lose out. However, he hopes that Cleveland
will win, since they have the larger ball park.
FEEL SO GOOD
Archie Moore feels in perfect shape for his bid for the
Heavyweight Championship next week. In fact Archie
feels so good he’s thinking about knocking Rocky out. It
could be that Rocky is feeling good too. Consequently,
we feel that Archie had better settle for a decision.
FOOTBALL AT CHAPEL HILL
Lincoln High of Chapel Hill will open their football sea
son tl^ Thursday evening against Burlington. Burlington
High is coached by former All-American Quarterback at
A&T College, Red Jackson. Lincoln’s schedule include
fames with Henderson Institute (away) Roxboro (home)
elma (home), Horton (away), Wise (away) Nashville (away),
Carthage (home). Hillside Hornets felt the blow of defeat
in their first game last Saturday at O’Kelly Field. Incidently,
that’s the first opening game Hillside has lost in quite
some time. Hillside seems to have too many straight plays.
The SPOT in observing the loss, feels when Hillside gets
more plays that will allow their fast backs to scamper around
end, they will have no trouble winning games ... In Me
Clain, the Hornets have a very capable quarterback. Hill
side shouldn’t lose anymore games this season. We feel that
losing to West Charlotte was no disgrace since they are mere-
- W the State Champions .... The New York Giants Football
Team will have five Negro performers this year, led by
veteran Emlen Tunnell, one of tiie best defensive badcs in
Pro Football. Mel Triplett, formerly of Toledo Univeiaity
is the new rookie star.
CLEAN SWEEP
If I am allowed a couple line this week, I would like to
let all of you know how good it feels to have gained a clean
sweep of all Virgima Teni^ Tournaments this past year.
And to thank all of you for pulling for me in all my matches.
Those Tournaments: were: Virginia State Championships,
Brookfield Open, Richmond, Va., Tidewater Open, Norfolk,
Virginia.
That’s all lor this week . . . Look forward for complete
coverage of all Negro stars who are participating in the
World Series. Also each week we are going to pick the most
outstanding football performer, both high school and col
lege. Then at the end of the season, choose the most valu
able players.
Ingram Makes
Sweep in Va.
Tournament
NORFOLK, Va.
Ernie Ingram completed a
clean sweep of all Virginia
State tournaments last week
end at Norfolk, Va. In winning
the Tidewater Championship,
Elrnie defeated Ronald Charity
of Richmond, Va. 7-5, 6-1 in
the finals. Ingram and Charity
teamed to retain their doubles
championship. Ronald Charity,
of Richmond, Va. was defend
ing champion and seeded one
in the singles.'Ernie was seed
ed second, Bobby Johnson, of
Lynchburg, Va. 3rd, and Bob
by Martin, of Augusta, Ga.
4th. Perry Handy, of Washing
ton, D. C. turned in the up
set of the tournament when he
defeated Bobby Johnson of
Lynchburg, Va. 6-0, 9-11, 6-3
in the quarter finals. In the
semi-finals Ingram defeated
Perry Handy, 6-2, default, and
Ronald Charity defeated Bob
by Martin, 6-3,* 6-3. Ingram
and Charity defeated Handy
and Martin in the doubles fin
als, 6-3, 6-3. Henry Livas won
the Junior singles by defeat
ing Horade Cunningham, of
Lynchburg, Va.
Mrs. Florence Bames, of
Washington, D. C. won the
Women’s Singles by defeating
Mrs. Elaine Busch, of Ports
mouth, Va., who was defend
ing champion. Ernie Ingram
had beaten Charity in the last
two tournaments, both times
in five sets. This time his game
was much sharper. The tour-
nament wai another great suc
cess and carried out with
much efficiency by the tourna
ment committee. That was a
great accomplishment since
rain marred play all day
Saturday.
Dodgers Would Prefer Indians
CHICAGO, lU.
The newly crowned cham
pions of the National League—
the Brooklyn Dodgers—say
they aren’t particular as to
who wins in the American
League just as long as some
body does It. But still they do
have favorites. And they are
based on m o n e y-doUan—
nothing else.
The Indians offer the big
gest stadium—so the Dodgers
are really rooting for the In
dians with their 73,000 seating
capacity. For take-home pay
you can’t beat a Dodger-In-
dlan Series. Even the loser
gets more than a winner would
in another park—namely |7,
000. The winner would keep
$11,000—at least that's what
the Giants did last year.
Sentimentally the Dodgers
are hoping the Yankees will
do it so as to give them an
other chance at the team that
has frustrated them most in
six World Series. This time
they do beleive they could
catch them with ease.

RALEIGH
The Shaw University Bears,
yearning to revive the good
old days when they were a top
collegiate football power, open
the' 1955 season in Raleigh’s
Chavis Park September 24th
against their old rival Howard
University, Washington, D. C.
Coach Duke Brown, in an
nouncing a nine game sche
dule said that “If we don’t get
back on top this season it
won’t be because we didn’ try.
I do not mean to say we’re go
ing to b« at the very top, but
we’re going to work to be at
least near the top.”
The team returned to prac
tice on the 31st of August and
are now fighting to put an A-1
team on the field.
William Spann, center, from
Charleston, South Carolina
will captain the 55 Bear squad,
which will be composed for
the most part by freshmen and
sophomores.
A big man is not one who
makes, no mistakes, but one
bigger than any mistakes
he makes.
North Carolina College Bas
ketball Coach Floyd Brown
this week announced a 22
game cage schedule for the
Eagles and, at the same time
he revealed that two of Texas’
brightest basketballers of last
season are now enrolled in the
Eagles' camp.
Carlton Phillip "Ding Dong”
Bell and Calvin "Sweety Cake”
Alexander, former pivot ace
and forward on Houston
(Tex') Phyllis Wheatley Wild
cats' five are the lads cxpccted
to give the CIAA's defending
champions the necessary lift
for “just one more title”.
Floyd Brown, beaming from
stem to stem as he distribut
ed cigars also announcing the
recent arrival of his third son
Anthony Calvin Brown recent
ly, said he felt like ‘ giving out
cigars for pure good fortune in
having “Ding .Dong’’ and
“Sweet Cake” In camp.
“Ding Dong” stands 6’6”
and weighs 210, “Sweet Cake”
is merely 6’0” and weighs
only 165. Of the two, “Ding
Dong” is the more reticent.
But, according to “Sweet
Cake”, "Ding Dong” is “really
a ringer.” For the past three
years, “Ding Dong” rang ’em
up back home in Texas, as he
won all-citjr, all distriet and all
state honors in cage competi
tion.
The two towering Texan*
are likely to make their detmt
in North Carolina on DeceiB'
ber 3 when the NCC five en
tertain the Virginia State
Trojans’ quint in Durham.
