The Negroes have not as yet proved capable of playing with the Arkansas club. "General manager JewellThomas said today their contracts were approved yesterday by the fNational Association of Minor Leagues. He did not disclose the purchase price or salaries. The brothers are believed to be the first Negroes to be signed to play in the Class loop which has teams in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Thomas said the Tugersons'will report to the Bathers Wednesday when spring practice starts.

James, who played ior the Clowns In the Negro American League for two years, won 14 and lost two games last year. He won 18 and lost four in 1951 and had a batting average of .343.

Louis Cardinals, Washington Senators, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants. Is Signed By Senators Pennant hopes of the Jackson Senators in the 1953 Cotton States League race received a terrific boost late Saturday with the an nouncement that Anse Moore had been signed to a contract. The announcement was made bv General Manager Willis Hudlin who said he was pleased to be able to secure the services of the veteran performer for the '53 Senators. Hudlin's praises were echoed by 1 a r-manager Duke Doolittle who said that having the left-handed hitting Moore in the batting order add plenty of power to the Senators attack this campaign. As for Moore, a resident of Jackson since World War II when he wasn't off playing baseball, he had finally come He said, shortly after siamine the contract: "For the past 15 years.

ever since I started playing have had to be away from' my family for the better part of the year. Now I can play baseball -next. to my family my first love; and still be home. I can also truthfully and sincerely say that it will be a pleasure to be associated with Mr. Hudlin and Mr.

Doolittle." Moore has been working out with the Senators during the try-out camp and baseball school which ends here Sunday. Not only has he been rounding himself into shape but has also been assisting in the holding of the school. Moore wiU be in action at League Park as the school ends Sunday and then get ready for the spring training grind Beginning Monday. He Is married to the former Faye Ponder of Puckett who is now employed in Jackson and the couple have one daughter, Patricia Ann who is three years of age. Although definite plans for -the season have not been made, there is a good possibility that Moore (who throws right and bats left) will open the campaign at first base.

Hudlin said Saturday that Bob Churchill, first sacker with Greenville last season but who hasn't come to terms, probably would not be with the Senators this year. From Memphis, Churchill has been bothered by a bad back and may decide to lay out of baseball. HORNSBY RAVES Concerning Moore: he was called by none other than Rogers Hornsby rated as the top righthanded hitter of all time one of the best looking prospects to be developed by the minor leagues in decades. In 1942, Moore played in the same outfield with Hoot Evers and Dick Wakefield at Beaumont and Hornsby predicted that Moore would be the greatest hitter of that trio. But, then came the war in which Anse served three years in the Army Signal Corps, two overseas.

He returned to baseball in 1946 with Detroit but "miseries" pick- ed-up in service Including a bad back and feet prevented his seeing but limited service that season. In 1947 he was' sent out to the Buffalo Bisons of the International League (triple-A) and played with that club for three seasons. The 1950 and 1951 seasons found him with Baltimore of the same Inter national circuit while in 1952, Anse played with Toledo-Charleston of the triple-A American Association. A power hitter and a versatile man on the diamond, having played all of the outfield positions plus second, third and first base and additional duty on the mound, Anse should prove a valuable man to the class-C Senators. He broke Into baseball with Alex andria, of the Evangeline League in 1939 and 1940 before moving up to Beaumont for the 1941 and 1942 seasons.

Anse is a native of Delhi, Ike Williams Takes Decision PHILADELPHIA, March 28 Ike Williams, former lightweight champion from Trenton, N. won a unanimous decision over Vic Cardell, Hartford, wel ter, tonight in their 10-round nationally telelevised bout at the Met. Williams, who outweighed Car dell by four pounds at 152, made it his second win over Cardell. In a bout at Detroit in January, 1951, Williams won by a technical knockout in the ninth. Tonight's bout carried over the ABC television network marked the 120th win for the Trenton veteran in 144 pro battles.

He has scored 59 knockouts. Referee Dave Beloff saw Williams winning by seven rounds to two for Cardell with one even. Judge Lou Tress had it 7-2-1 also, while Judge Charlie Daggert scored it 6-3-1. In Pennsylvania there is no point scoring. All fights -are rated on a round basis.

Sharper and more accurate hitting by the former overcame most of his opponent's desperate efforts to avenge the earlier knockout. There were no knockdowns and neither principal was badly hurt although Williams suffered a cut over right eye and Cardell had his nose bloodied in the first round. The best round for either man was the ninth which Williams opened and closed with strong rallies of two-handed slugging. He had Cardell hanging on most of that round. The officials gave the unanimous decision to Williams by wide margins; West All-Stars Top East 91-77 KANSAS CITY, March 26 UFi The West, led by the great all round play of Kansas State's little Bob Rousey, defeated the East All-Stars 91 to 77 tonight in the second annual basketball game played fo the benefit of the Shriners' Crip-, pled Children' Hospitals.
