>rEW YORK - Rowdyism m Ne-
gro hall gamos is kcpping in parr
V'ih ths ti’nss. Rr,A-dy players wnu
attack umpires with bats, knives,
anrt their fists find their counter
part in the stands. There you see
women fighting each other, men
knocking women down and brawls
springing up all over during the
progress of the game. Complaints
come in frrm most of the cities
where Negro ball clubs operate.
People take their petty quarrels
and arguments into (he open at
Yankee Stadium and the Polo
Grounds in New York. Griffith
Stadium in Washington. Crosley
Field in Cincinnati. Comiskey Park
In Chicago, as well as Wrigley Field
and Briggs Stadium in Detroit.
There they fight, cuss, knife each
other, drink liquor, and carry on
in an outlandish manner, making
pecple wonder “why in Ihe hell do
I have to be identifie.i with such a
race of people?" It is not co much
the fact that such senseless brawls
take place in the presence of white
ushers, park attendants, gatekeep
ers, and white fans, but it hurts be
cause we have not learned how to
Behave in public. No one seems to
have taken this problem into con
sideration. for no effective mean.s
has been advanced to cope with ii
Jl'ST MERE MATTER OF
COLLECTING MONEY
T^e promoters of Negro baseball
have been content merely to take
in the money at the box-office, pay
off the players, put on a game, and
go home. In must of the parks
where the pnlici.ig is done by white
cops or stadium guards and atten
dants. th- policy is to allow such
brawling to continue, The logic be
hind this is plain. The white po-
Ucemar who pulls a club or black
jack and starts whaling away at a
Negro engaged in the technical t.-xk
of carving up another. l.s in a posi
tion to start a race riot, because m
a crowd predominately Negro, a
white man heating another Negro
for whatever cause is almost sure
to Incite further trouble. That k*
why most white policemen and sta
dium attendants try to leave such
brawling alone.
Negro baseball has advanced
many steps since the days of Rube
Foster. Teddy Blount, and .1. L.
Wilkersnn. It has grown from a two-
bit affair to a million-dollar-a-year
business, But it is threatened with
destruction becatise of its own in-
diffarrnce to the weeds growing
up around it. Negroes are number
bne baseball fans. Of all the sports
involving team play, there are more
Negroes knowing and following
baseball then any other, and that
is the reason why Negro baseball
has been able to capitalize on the
interest of the public in such play-1

Mary of them are dyerj-in-the-wool
fans A niimbi-r of them have not
had a rhanre to learn how t-' act
in public, eertainlv not as a base
ball game. Together with the hood
lum elements ‘bat already exist in
these cities, they combine into a
formidable threat t.' the future well
being of Negro baseball by duplicat
ing all the disputable and unseem
ly habits of the ignorant and un-
couth in public.
It is a sorry state of affairs wheu
’ Negro w.'men stand up at a ball
park and fight like eats and dogs
Over the affections of some slick-
headed playboy. It is a fine state
of affairs when we find Negro wom-
j cn going to ball games with pints
I of whiskey in their bags and pass-
: mg the bottle up and down until it
I is empty, getting louder and more
'uncouth all the time. The sight of
Negro men supposedly candidates
for all the good that American
deniOcracy offers, whooping and
chasing earh other • with knives,
.slugging each other with 8tlr|ks or
bottles at a ball game is certainly
most distasteful. Maybe that is the
reason why such writers as Roy
OctAvu.s Cohen cemes among us
and writes books about us that none
of us like, because in coming among
us. they see us as thev want to sec
us, and we do nothing to detract
from the picture.
BALL PLAYERS ALSO TO
BE BLA.MED
There is a big case also against
the Negro ball players who Joins
in with hoodlums in the stands
and conducts himself in a manner
i-nhecnming to a gentleman on the
field. The incidents in which um
pires have bee chased with bats
or struck by irate ball players are
mounting. It is getting so now that

because the umpires arc being in
timated by ball players and calling
decisions that are not likely to get
them into trouble The fan who has
a $5 bet on the outcome of a game
doesn't lie to at all. He feels he is
being robbed, which in a sense he

A remedy would seem to bo the
establishmeut of patrol corps to

Jurishdictlon of local police. The
