AND ELY RIGHT!"
NEW YORK - Rrnnch Rickev
ind ihp others who set national
fague policies ouptil m br ashamed
.f themselves. They knew that their
>ack5 are against the wall on the
.cxing and unwelcomed question
)f whether the Negro ball player
shall be admitted to big league
competition and. m the manner ot
the boys on the iiirf, h ive been busy
laying down a heavy .smrikc screen
to cloak their real mtenlions of
evading the issue at whatever cost.
The year IMa will go down as
significant because of the fact that
for the first time Negro ball play
ers were actually fried out by na
tional league clubs. The idea that
the national league clubs who
granted these trials to colored ball
players had no intention of hiring
them then do»s not enter the
question. However, pr-agress ha'
been trade, and the fact must hr
passed relentlessly to achieve an
end which seems to be in sight.
While there is much discussion
pro and con about the advisabili
ty of taking over-age ball pla.vers
like Pave •'Showboaf' Thomas,
the first base genius of the New
York Cubans and talkative Terris
"The CrenI" MacDuffie over to
Branch Rickey as the best repre
sentatives of Negro hasrhalt. there
Is n evading the f.act that the
gate had been crashed.
McPIlAII. KNEW AIX ABDCT
OUR PLAYERS
Those who remember Larry Mc-
Phail when he had the Brooklyn
Dodger.s will recall that Larry
made no pretense of wanting to see
Negro ballplayers in fr. ■! at
tempt for his club. The fiery red
head. now boss of the New Yankees,
plainly stated to a group of us. who
waited on ^im several years age
to see what he would do about giv
ing qualified Negroes a trial with
the Dodgers, that he knew tne his
tory. and ability of every Negro
player In organired Negro baseball,
and ronseqiiently, did not need to
have the trial to see who* they
could do. Me then pr'ceeded to
name ballplayers with a familiar-
ftv that escapes many of our top
Kegro sportswrlters.
THis sho'v> that the national •
leagues, through their rrprr=enta- j
ttves. agents, and various farm .
clubs, keep a close check on everj*-
thlng baseball, whethe. If is play
ed bv Chinese. Hindus. Negroes.
Or Czecho-Stovakinas. They are in
the business and basch.iU is their
No. 1 consideration. That's whv it
•ems so phonev and roundabout
for Rickey at al. to 'lage a series
of phoney trials, frying to ev.adc
tRe orescjirr of public opinion at
the time when the Isrue was un-
deniablv hotter.
JACKIE BstRINRON'S AmLITY'
WAS QUESTIONED
fn case l am making an nver-
statement in connection with the.«e
trials. 1 perhaps would like tr qual

mark that the Boston Red Sox pos.
sthly didn't know too much about
the abilltv of Jackie Robinson, the
former ITCI A li:-lfh:ick wtr-rd who
also IS a whale of a short-stop and
played with the West End Coast

color, will act very swiltl.v to
clirrinate the conditicsn that now

It is almost a certainty that none
of the major league club.®, playing
in New York City, in 194fi will get
by without Negroes in their lineup.
Forces are husv right now to take

The New York Gl.infs, the New

FEW WILL FORGET BILL
TERRY OF GIANTS
The prejudices practiced by
Stoneham in the Polo Grounds over
th' years is well knnv.n. Few fans
will forget the insuHs Negroes re
ceived while Bill Terry was man
aging the team that played under
Coogan's Bluff. When 'ferry was
: there, an incident happened that I
■•hink will never be forgotten, at
least by those who recall It. That
was when Terry picked up a small!
[Negn kid with kinky hair, had
him on the bench and let the play
ers. including himself rub the
kid'.s head for luck in sight of
,thousands of fans to see in Ihe
grand.stand. Such incident.* were
not uncommon al the ballgrounds.

and to live it down they should
straighten up and fly right on the
i.-.sue of whether or not Negroes
are good enough In play in that
park.
Rickey has a great chance of
becoming a lop liberal along with
Hugo Black, now Ju.stlce of ihc
United Slates Supreme Court. Hen
ry A, Wallace, former Vice F’re.si-
dent and now Secretary of Com
merce. and others. He must make
up his mind, however, to take the
Flep even if that step i« in defi.ince
'if Ihe wishes of .such diehard old
reprobates as Clark Griffith of Ihe
Washington Senators. Sam Breadon
of the St. Liuis club, and others
who have yet to see the light
it he has got to be big, he h.is
cot to see Ihe t‘ lng in Us prop-.r
proportion, that is. .seeing it in the
light of its relationship to real
American harmony and goodwill

cess of rounding up one or ’wo
nondescript Negro ballplayers and
focusing them in the public spot

dling In Ihe affairs of organized
N>gro baseball, as happened in
ti e ca.se of Ihe U. S. Baseball Lea

Perhaps Rickey will prove to be
the man. He seems to be of the
calibre to do the right thing once
he makes up his mind. Since 194S
augurs ill for those who expect to
.skip by again with anti-Negro prac
tices still In force. Rickey would
be wise to get his house straight
before the year Is out.
In fact, it w-uldn't bt. a bad
idea for Rickey to start right now

MOE GATe TOPS
OTHERS IN RECORD
ING FIELD
NEW YORK — Gale. Inc., i.s
very proud of the showing that its
talent ha-s made on wax in Ihe past
few years. The record book shows
that Erskine Hawkins, The Four
Ink Spots. Ella Fitzgerald, Cootie
Williams. Lucky MilUnricr and
■Deck” Watson and His Brown
Dots, have ail many a nickle-wiu-
ner for the Bluebird. Decca and
Manor labels. In fact, almost evey
issue of the trade journal Variety
and Billboard shows at least one
of these More Gale attractions as a
leader in the record buying field.
This is not the re.siilt of sheer
1 luck or coincidence, but the pro
duct of hard work and constructive
'planning to get good material for
jour artists tn record. And. in order
\ to insure an adequate supply of good
I original material for its attractions.
Gale. Inc., has opened a music pub
lishing firm. Song Distributing
Company. The men in this firm
spend hours very day ficking songs
that they think will fit the t.ileni
we represent.
But this is ('nly the first step
that we lake to insure the coin
machine operator that the records
he buys of our talent will prove tn
hr a vo.id invcstmrn!. It is a rule
of our firm that the artist must first
' try out every song he intends to
wax on the mad before he plays
I or sings one note of it m the record
ing studios. If the song catches on
in the ballrooms wo then kiiow that
it will be good for the machines.
At the same time we assign the
tested tunc to the bands in the
Savory Ballroom and delegate a rep
resentative of Gale. Inc. to watch
the audience reaction. If the Savoy
customers request the hand leader
♦o play thi* song, and if the band
on the road sends us a favorable
report wr know ihai we have
song that is 9ft per cent certain to
meet with universal acclaim m the
music boxes.
