Louis Says Seven Negroes
to Play in Phoenix
San Diego, Calif (U.PJ Joe
Louis revealed today that seven
Negroes will enter the Phoenix
open golf tournament the first
PGA competition ever to wel
come Negro professionals.
Louis himself cracked the
color ban in the San Diego tour
nament here last week. But Ne
gro professionals were not per
mitted to play along with him.
Saturday the PGA changed its
rules to permit Negroes to play
if invited by the local sponsors,
and Louis said seven would take
advantage of it at Phoenix.
They'll compete against the
top stars of the game, including
Ted Kroll, deadpan New Hart
ford, N.Y., pro who shot a last-
round 70 yesterday to win the
San Diego open with 276. Jimmy
Demaret shot a 69 yesterday to
finish second with 279.
The big news was the end of
the Negro ban, however, and
the announcement that the
Phoenix tournament would
welcome them, Louis will lead
the influx.
"We plan to arrive in Phoenix
early enough today to get in a
practice round or two prior to
Ttee qualifying," he said before
departing for the Arizona sun
capital last night.
Two top Negro pros are in
cluded in the group, Bill Spiller
of Los Angeles and Ted Rhodes
of Nashville, Tenn. Other Ne
groes making the Phoenix junket
are Leonard Reed, Louis secre
tary and a good amateur golfer;
and Eural Clark, Charlie Cecil
and Bill Phillips.
In the few previous non
PGA co - sponsored tourna
ments in which they have
competed against the top white
pros, the Negro stars haven't
done too well. Occasionally
they have finished in the

Says Seixas
Deserves Honor
Bainbridge, Md., Jan. 21 U.R)
Tony Trabert, dethroned as
the nation's number 1 tennis
player, admitted today that Vic
Seixas was the man who really
rated the honor.
Tentatively ranked first for
the 1952 season in mid-Decem
ber, the 21-year-old Trabert
suddenly was dropped to third
place by the U. S. Lawn Tennis
association over the weekend
while Seixas was moved to the
top.
"Naturally, I was disappoint
ed, said the freckle-faced Tra
bert, a seaman recruit at the
naval training station here,
but Seixas really earned the
right to be at the top."
The USLTA, which revised
its rankings amid an exchange
of bitter opinions at its 71st
annual meeting in New York,
explained the only motivation
was the players' performances
in Australian competition and
the Davis cup matches.
Dick Savitt of Orange, N. J.,
Wimbledon champion and win
ner of the 1951 Australian sin
gles, moved from third place to
second during the session which
usually is given over to merely
"approving" the ranking com
mittee's recommendations.

San Diego, Calif. W) The
golfing band quit California this
week, most of them with a sigh
of relief.
Monday a chosen few golfers
head to neighboring Palm
Springs for a two-day $5,000 pro-
amateur event at the exclusive
Thunderbird Golf club.
All will assemble in Arizona
for the $10,000 Phoenix Open

The newest celebrity in golf-
and-recipient of a belated invita
tion to the Thunderbird club par
ty is Ted Kroll, a youngish
looking man of 32, of Polish de
scent, from New Hartford, N. Y.
Kroll won the $10,000 San Di
ego Open Sunday. He led at the
start, with a spectacular 65, and
he led at the finish, with a stub
born, well deserved 70, with
rounds of 69 and 72 in between
The result gave the ex-caddie a
12 under par 276, $2,000 in cash.
and his first major triumph.
