Together with seve ral. otMer stars of Negi’o base ball clubs, the great hurler left this week for Cuba to play- in the C^an baseball J^^gues. Am^ng t^lie players who walked out on jimcrow American base ball were, in addition to P,aijf*: Perkins, Crawford catcher.. Cat cher Palm of the Black Yankees.. “Showboir TVfomas,’' first base man of the New York C'l'ban*-. Pitcher Taylw of the Cuban^^ Catcher 4(fCl»tophei*t Crawford outfield., Spearman of the New York Cubans, and George Scales of the Blank Yankees. The mass walK-out on the National Negro Baseball League is ^ported to liive come as a re sult of low salaries paid. Thus, as a result of the policy of discri mination barring Negro player;> from competition in the big lea gues of organized baseball, these fomous stars are lost to Ameri can fans.

Now, tHis may not mean much to the ordinary high school stu dent;. Tha average prep pupil knows about jazz and hot music. Sufficirent, realy, to surprise pa rents.
