Dodgers Lose But No Regrets, Says Manager
CALLS ROBINSON REAL GENTLEMAN A STAR IN EVERY WORLD SERIES GAME, IS COMMENDED BY TEAM-MATES
New York, Oct. 9.--"I'm sorry we didn't win it, but I have no regrets." were the words of Burt Shotton, manager of the not-to-be-downed Brooklyn Dodgers, who finally succumbed to defeat at the hands of the New York Yankees, in the seventh and last World Series tussle for baseball supremacy at Yankee Stadium, Monday afternoon. Manager Shotton said it right, the New York Yankees are today the champions in the baseball world, but the Brooklyn Dodgers should have no regrets. As Dave Boone, writing in the New York Sun, put it Monday morning, on the eve of the Seventh and last game, "Win or lose, the series today. 'Dem Bums' will [emerge?] with all the glory of [victors?]. They made all the fight, [upset?] all the dopesters, and [knocked?] out Joe Page." Nevertheless, it was Page, [loser?] of the sixth game, who turned in the outstanding pinchhitting job, Monday, when he came into the game at the start of the fifth inning, with a one-run lead to protect, and Brooklyn straining to knot the 3-2 count, hold the Dodgers to the two scores made in the second inning, and who gave the Yanks the victory and the World's Championship by the score of 5-3, and a 4 to 3 win out of seven games. In the final, Monday afternoon, as in every one of the preious games, poor pitching defeated the Dodgers. Three times the battling Brooks, wonderfully sturdy, managed to fight back for the vital run Monday, they just couldn't do another miracle. Yes, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the underdogs, picked to lose to the powerful New York Yankees in four straight games, contributed for the most part the thrills of the dizziest of all World Series, a seven-game affair which set record atop of records. The so-called "Bums" upset the dopesters, furnished the thrills and for a minute last Monday it looked as if they might walk away with the championship and the winner's (Continued on Page 4)
FILE AWAY CASE AGAINST POLICE  JUDGE IS TARGET OF ATTORNEYS WHO CALLED IT DISGRACEFUL EXHIBITION Police Court Judge Homer C. McLellan became the target of the ire of two Negro attorneys in police court Thursday morning, October 9, when he filed away a charge of manslaughter against City Policeman John R. Womack, accused of shooting a half-crazed Negro in cold-blood early last month. Attorney Alfred M. Carroll, president of the local N.A.A.C.P., said he was "highly disappointed" in the court when the murder charge was filed away without a hearing. C. Eubanks Tucker, head of the Kentucky Bureau of Negro Affairs and counsel for the family of the slain man, George Kelly, declared "it was a disgraceful exhibition" of rushing the matter through the court unheard. Judge McClellan, when contacted on the bench for a statement, was interrupted by Prosecutor Foster Deweese, who explained the position of the court. The prosecutor said it is customary, in cases where the coroner's jury h  as returned a verdict of justifiable homicide, to file charges away in police court. He added, "if they want to take it any further, they can, of course, go to the grand jury. Kelly was shot by the City policeman five times as he sat in Smith's Confectionery, 12th and St. Catherine Street, in September. The case was termed "justifiable homicide" in coroner's court two weeks ago, after all witnesses agreed that Kelly, "a religious fanatic," according to his brother, made a lunge for the policeman's pistol when the latter attempted to question him.
SAYS ELECTION WILL TEST STRENGTH OF TAFT-HARTLEY ACT IN KENTUCKY Popularity of the controversial Taft-Hartley Act, among voters of this State, with an eye toward the presidential race, in 1948, will be tested when Kentucky elects a new Governor this fall, Sate Republican Campaign Chairman Charles W. Anderson, Jr., declared today. Anderson, who is a former members of the Kentucky Legislature and presently Assistant Commonwealth Attorney of the Thirtieth Judicial District, made this observation as he announced plans to convert Kentucky a normally Democratic state into a Republican bulwark by November 4. He said Republicans under the leadership of State's Attorney-General Eldon S. Dummit will "more likely" openly advocate approval of the Taft-Hartley Act. Democrats, headed by Congressman Earle C. Clements, democratic choice, are expected to oppose the measure. Stressing the importance of the State's gubernatorial election as a perfect sounding board of public opinion on the bill, the campaign manager emphasized that Kentucky and Mississippi are the only two pivotal states in the Union to hold a Governor's race this year. "This labor act is doubly important," he (Continued on Page 4)

Policemen Freed DISMISS POLICE IN TUCKER CASE 
Two white city policemen, arrested on a charge of assault and battery sworn to by C. Eubanks Tucker, Negro attorney who said the officers assaulted him after a police court argument September 17, were dismissed in the Second District Magistrate Court late Thursday evening, October 9. The justice ruled that there was not enough evidence to support the charges. The officers were Marvin Almon and C. Booth. Immediately after the final verdict, Tucker told the court that he had been informed that Officer Almon threatened to take care of him if the two ever had any more words. The attorney said he wanted the court to know he had been threatened, and "if an unlawful attempt to arrest me is made, somebody is going to die." The trouble between Tucker and the two policemen came as an aftermath to the arrest of Mrs. Grace Miller of East Madison Street who was arrested on disorderly conduct charges after (Continued on Page 4)

BODY OF MAN 83 FOUND; IS SUICIDE
Estimated to have been dead at least two days before discovery, the beam-suspended body of James Frank Massie, 83, address unknown, found in the rear of an abandoned warehouse near 425 South Floyd early Monday morning, October 6, was termed "suicide because of a despondent condition" despite widespread rumors of foul play, the coroner's office reported this week.
The strangulated body of the old man was discovered by Gospel Morris, 318 East Liberty, night-watchman for the John Schmitt Farm Implement Company, in whose building Massie died.  Several strands of pliable wire was around his neck which had been carefully padded with old handkerchiefs, Deputy Coroner Joseph Beck related.
The coroner said Massie told his step-niece, Lucy Bell Ennis, 408 E. Madison, that he was sick and despondent because a former employer, for whom he had been crating potatoes, told him he was too old and weak to work.  The county official, in explaining the unusual method of death for a colored man, said he understood Massie was a "very intelligent old man...just the type not to be able to take adversity."
According to circulated rumors, Massie met his death at the hands of three unknown white assailants who gave him some money late Saturday night to purchase whiskey. The men way-laid him Sunday, after he failed to return with the money, the rumor continued.  Coroner Beck declared there was no evidence of foul play, and reiterated that Massie committed suicide.
