WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1953' rsr NEW YOHK (GLOBAL)— There, -has boon a great deal of talk lately about the sad stab of the Chicago Cuba, and a great deal of conjecture as to the club's fut ure. Just the other day. 'Frank Graham of the New Yoik Journal- ; American, had thi* !o say: "There is a st range and, in some ways, fascinating situation; op the North Side. Ptv! Wrigley has a conveniently situated pari. >;■. -J un doubtedly ie the most attractive | in the majors, wii-h gay flags fly- j me every where and iw erowinsf j thick on the red brick bleacher. walls, He has a smartly uniformed j corps of ushers whose watchword j is courtesy.

Graham goes on i to say, “The attendance has held up surprisingly well. although j Wrigley is the only holdout a- j ■gainst night ba.-c-olk A theory i widely held in Chicago is that the, North Side fans have been turning out to see the visiting clubs, oat i the -hot roast beef sandwiches and, admire the ivy climbing on the j wall. This yu&r, a now stimulant j has been supplied: Whenever the; Braves, who couldn’t draw a cor- j moral's guard in Boston, not only have firmly establi: hed themselves in Milwaukee, but are giving aid and succor to their m w neighbors down the road," Graham then goes on to ponder j the reasons for the slack business i at Wrigley Field, analyzing Wrig-! ley's dilemma, delved into the loy- j al ties of the fans, and then con- j tinues: "How did the Cubs get into this plight?

Ever since the running of the ; farmed Kentuck > classic when the j D Juicer bowed to tne ill-fated Dark] Stipe, sports editor;-, flu nation over j have held in doubt the true great ness. of Allied G.

In each engage- ! merit thereafter these scribes have : picked at random, seeking some I one' horse, then another, to defeat j the son of Polyni. ian, but to no i avail. of the matter is. these i sports writers entering into con jecture concerning Native Dancer, never troubled themselves about journeying to the barn where he was quartered to find out ■ tome- ! thing about the horse. Something} real. Something true, First they thought that since the I t Preakness distance was shorter, | Dark Star would be a gallop.

It all adds up to the fact. } the most colorful and the most ; prosperous teams in the League have Negro players who are not I only setting records for them selves, but for their teams. And j they are helping to fill the coffers iof the teams by pulling them in at | box office.

And don't forget, it was Walker v iio said: “As long as there is a ! horse in front us him, he'll catch j him.’’ This reporter dedicated a poem j to Murray and Walker which was released through ANP concerning the greatness of the Dancer.
