Red Ball Blackballed
To avoid any resemblance to Japan's Rising Sun, two well-known sport emblems were blotted out last week: > Seattle Planeman William E. Boeing, owner of a large string of race horses, had his racing silks changed from a red ball on white background to a red square. > The redball skating banner, for generations the traditional ice-pond signal to indicate "good skating today," was condemned by northern U.S. communities. To find a suitable substitute, a contest will be conducted. One suggestion: a black-&-blue flag.
