By Dick Daous'j
Fisher's Colored Ghosts, a traveling Negro professional
basketball team acclaimed for their clever ball handling and
clowning were upset last night by an All-Star team selected
from the Independent league squads, by a 56-53 score in a
thriller played before an over-capacity crowd in the high
school gymnasium.
Steady pressure applied by the All-Stars, who led all the

the Ghosts began to find the
bucket with more regularity, and
with five minutes to play, were
within a scant point of the All-
Stars. A free shot by Mickey Sul

but proved to be short-lived-as
Wally Edwards, Ghost center,
tossed in a field goal to tie the
score 49-49 with four minutes re
maining. Successive baskets by Howard
Fix and Roger Wiley made-the

(Unite! Proa Sports Writer)
New York, Jan. 24 Hl'i Charley
Keller is a grand guy quiet,
modest, sell-effacing and gentle
manlythe kind of a man you
would like your son to be.
In case you never heard of
Charley, he played left field for
tne New York Yankees. That's a
baseball team in New York City
and it has a few million followers.
Charley always gave them ev
erything he had. When he was a
youngster, the Yankees paid out
his tuition at the University of
Maryland and he moved into their
farm system, ticketed for a jun
ior berth but destined by ability
for a place in the sun. Afield ho
was mechanically flawless, but at
the plate he was a menacing
mauler who soon was tagged with
the nickname of "King Kong."
Here was a young man who
struck terror in the hearts of ri
val pitchers.
Has Hard Luck
For a few years, Keller was
trouble. Then came the war and
a hitch in the merchant marine.
The man who came back was not
the old Keller. Various troubles
known as hard luck plagued him.
wrst it was a sacroiliac opera
tion which left one leg withered,
yet with indomitable spirit, he
fought his way back. Then it was
a pulled side muscle which rele
gated him first to the sidelines,
then to the minor leagues for a
brief period. Then he came back
to the majors.
But the Yankees, a famed ball
club where Charley had moved up
among such immortals as Babe
Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMag
gio, finally let him go. No longer
is this club built on the brewery
billions of the late Col. Jake Ru
pert. Now ft is a business organi
zation seeking profits.
So Charley was cut loose. And
during the winter months it was
a question whether again he could
hook up with a big league con
tact. Back in the good old days
one of his teammates was Red
Rolfe and now, as manager of the
Detroit Tigers, Red respected the
once-titanic talents that were Kel
ler's. So not too long ago Rolfe
signed Keller to provide a bit of
much hoped lor punch for nisi
team's anemic batting power. j
Last night the baseball writers
who had seen Charley break up a
lot of ball games feted him at a
dinner, and a lot of his old admir-'
ers were on hand. They included
Paul Krichell, the man who dis-,
covered him; Rolfe, his new man-;
ager; Tommy Hcniich, who play- j
ed in the outfield alongside him,
and Joe DiMaggio, another of the j
great Yankees.
"I signed him to give some I
class to my ball club," Rolfe said. !
"We have a young ball club which
badly needs a few fellows like '.
Charley to help keep its feet on
the ground." 1
The guy they knew as "King
Kong" had a tear in those intrepid
brown eyes as he stood up and, in
a shaking voice, said: i
"I fell far short of my own
goal. I was never the player I
hoped to be. But I am happy. I
played with guys like Gehrig and
DiMag and all the rest of them."
Charley's voice was husky as
he added, almost as if in prayer:
"I have my bad days but I feel
like I want to give it another try."

At Long Beach
Long Beach, Calif., Jan. 24 HP

the game that gave him first
prize of $2,000 in the Long Beach
invitational golf tournament, his
second victory of the young win
ter season.
He won the $10,000 event at

Haas took the lead after three

held up under pressure but mado
his best score of the -tournament.
He was not worried, he said, be-1
cause "you are always under pres
sure in this game.
Leonard Second
Leonard who had 204 after
three rounds, followed through
with a two-under-par 69 yester
day. Others at 204 Sunday were
Gary Middlocpff of Memphis, Jim
Ferrier of San Francisco and
Smiley Quick of Culver City,
Calif.
Middlecoff, showing some of
the form that made him U.S. open
champion last year, shot 274 and
tied for third with Al Brosch of
Garden City, N.Y., each received
$900.
Ferrier, former P. G. A. cham
pion, and Quick tied for fifth
place with Marty Furgol of Al
buquerque, N.M., and collected
$606.66 apiece.
Haas birdied six holes. He could
have coasted to victory but sank
a 15-footer on the 15th hole for
a birdie three and recovered from
a bunker off the 18th green for
another bird.
On the ninth, his ball was al
most buried in a sand-trap, but
he blasted out to par the hole
with a three. On the 10th and
12th holes he sank putts of 15
and 12 feet. His final score of
268 was 16 under par.

Defeat Vandals
' The Oregon State Beavers won
he only Pacific Coast conference
basketball game played last night,
but they ciuin't have to sparkle
to do it.
The Beavers beat Idaho 48-37
in a sluggish game in which nei
ther team could seem to find the
basket. Idaho made . only four
field goals in the first half and
waited seven thinutes of the sec
ond half before getting another.
In addition Idaho missed 15 out
of 26 free throws.
Oregon State was even worse
from the free throw line, missing
15 out of 23. But the Beavers
stayed ahead all the way by gel
ting more baskets from the floor.
Oregon State, led at halftime
19-11.
The Vandals' rusty playing
may have been due in part to
the fact that the game was their
first conference contest in 10
days. The two teams meet again
tonight.
Dick Ballantyne and Jim Nau
of Oregon State led the scoring
with 11 and 10 points respective
ly. Sam Jenkins got nine points

No Salary Cut in Prospect
For Joe DiMaggio, Indicated
By Milton Itlilinian
Oltiited Hreaa SiHirU Writer)
New York, Jan. 24 Joe DiMag
gio, baseball's highest-priced
layer at $100,000 a year, was
iclieduled to confer on his 1950
contract today amid indications
that the New York Yankees will
not ask him to take a cut.
DiMaggio, looking in tiptop
physical shape, said his left heel
which caused him to be side
lined half of last season "feels
great."
"I think I have a great year
ahead of me," he said.
"I've been playing a lot of golf,
and I purposely stayed away
from the banquet circuit this
winter so I wouldn't put on too
much weight. Right now I'm in
good shape but I'd like to put on
about five more pounds before
spring training starts."
DiMaggio, who batted .346 in
76 games last year and proved a
vital inspirational force In the
Yankees uphill drive to the Amer
ican league pennant, flew in from
the west coast last night and at
tended a dinner hero in honor of
termlned at the national tourna
ment in Wichita, Kan., starting
August 18. Before qualifying for
that meet, teams must survive
competition in their respective
leagues and district and state
tournaments.
