CLl'B OWNERS KNOW WHY- FORE OF JIM CROW Major league owners now why they are barring the Negro from playing in our national pasttlme.

LaGuardia ' luld have long ago told Larry Mc- Phail and In those days, Ed Barrew of the Yankees, and Horace Stone- ham of the Giants that New York would not tolerate Jim Crow in any form in accordance w.th the Civil Rights Laws that existed prior to the .jylroducti.iti of the Stole Fair Robinson-Lamntta Match Going Strong CHICAGO.

That is not so. We have excellent ballplayers who are good material for training with the idea in mind of eventual ly putting them on the rosters of such major league teams as the Phillies, Dodgers, Yankees. Giants, Cleveland. Boston, and other teams in the major league circuits. These could very readily be inducted into organized baesball in the same way that white recruits are Inducted through the minor leagues. But even that is not the answer, for the minor league franchises are in cities and states that do not have •State frir employment practice commissions such as New York, and where presure can not be very readily applied In a legal manner Consequently, it would seen) that the pressure should come where it 'vould Ho fh#. inri«i pood and that Is In New York State where three of the principal major league clubs operate In one city — the Dodgers In Brooklyn, the Yankees In the Bronx, and the Giants in Manhat tan. less sleepless and the days more calm. Sunburn, strange to say. is like any other burn — except that it is not localized. The extent of its coverage, oddly enough, is limited only by the extent of the victim's uncoverage.

Everyone knows that baseball is our national game. It Is enjoyed and played by all, from childhood up. regardless of race, cree' ir color. Perhaps the best proof of as similation has been given by ball players. the sunS of recent immi grants. I am sure you will agree that we shiuld do everything pos sible to avoid anything marring our national game. The subject has not been overlO'iked by the officials of the two major leagues. A pre liminary 8ur\-ey has been made by the Mayor's committee on unity- Many conferences have been held \ between the executive director of the committee, baseball officials, and people interested in the game. It Is my underst.inding that the na tional league has designated Mr. Branch Rickey, of the Brooklyn Ball Club. ;md the American Lea gue has designated Colonel Larry McPhail, of the New York Baseball Club. Mr. Dan W. Dodson, execu tive director of the committee on Unity has conferred with both of ^ these gentlemen.

FEPC NOW BUSY ON BASEBALL PROBE It seems that after all the weight of the whole problem will be thrown tnto the lap of the Stale Fair Em- pljymenl Practice Commission, in fact the commission has already named two cemmisstoners to proh« im crow in baseball. Councilman Benjamin J. Davis, Communist Member of the New’ York City 'Viuncil has passed n legislation con demning Idl.scrimination against Necroes in basebnU. Mr. Turner has mncunccd that he has appointed Elmer A. Carter and Juian J. Reiss to hear evidence and recommenda tions. Eli icr Carter, in case you 'lon't know It, is colored. Now that the wars has ended, the fight to get Negroes Into major leagues may encounter any . um- ber ■ f unexpected snags due to a leUup of pressure of public opinion on a very vital and contravercial subject. 'TTie hard w’ork of Negro sports editors through the country •ver the years stands threatened The attempt of LaGuardia to se* UD a C'lmmission to make a "stpdy" of the situation smacks of a brand of sabotage which should not be found in such a pressing mattep. With the State FEPC in operation with it's penalties, fines, and due processes of law already establish ed, the method of pressure against the reactionaries in organized basa- is apparent They should be sued, prosecuted, and hounded until something is Hone. There is no other way around It. All this conciliatory nonsense is only so much delay. Somebody has eot to take the bit in his teeth and go ahead, me It seems that' the problem belongs to Negroes, and liberal whites, who. organized ’ in a concerted effort, should be the in cities and states that do not have .state fair employment practice commissions such as New York and where presure can not be very readily applied in a legal manner Consequently, it would seen) that the pressure should come where it wonifi mo«t rood and that is in New York State where three of the principal major league clubs operate in ore city — the Dodgers In Brooklyn, the Yankees in the Bronx, and the Giant' in Manhat tan.
