COLOUR BAR ALLEGED
Ban On Darts Team
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter— Copyright) ALICE SPRINGS (Central
Australia), May 12
Sportsmen have threatened to declare a local hotel “black” because of an alleged colour-bar imposed by the manager. A Darts Association official said yesterday that the manager of the Stuart Amis Hotel had banned a team of part-aboriginal dart-players from the hotel’s inside beergarden. The hotel manager (Mr P Clarke) said the reason for the ban was the personal behaviour of the men. Until the incident, the Alice Springs men’s darts association had played weekly tournaments at the Stuart Arms and at the town's other two hotels and the licensed Memorial Club. A part-aboriginal team was formed recently and accepted into the association.
A Darts Association official said that the banned players had not caused trouble and did not drink during tournaments.
The association has called a special meeting to see if a “black ban” should be imposed on the hotel.
