We have been listening TO the
radio this past week. all of us
within our house" Some have al
most had nervous prostration as
we heard the familiar words by Ty
Tyson-"1'wo TO nothing in favor
of the Cardinals"
| The thing TO marvel at Is the way
we have permitted ourselves TO be
worked up TO the point OF "feve,
heat" over matter in which We
could not possibly take any part
save eto pay out our money-get
nervous and scream until we are
/ hoar3e.
: This would not be so bad were IL
not for the fact that the reason
we are excluded is because we do
not happen TO have n white face
and straight hair. Ii may be after
all that We are in there. and that
we played ball in the World Series
but If we did nobody knew II.
Remember this that the World
Series is strictly an American In
stitution that the games are pre-
coded by the playing of the Star
Spangled Banner" as 1.-THE players
make their salute to Old Glory
that the Leagues are known as Ma
tional and American. 1t is after all
nothing but American corporations
doing business for sport and profit
but they have been able TO throw
behind their effort the influence,
name and sanction of this great
nation.
Their high commissioner Is one
who left seat on the Federal
bench to serve them, and yet we
must stand for discrimination
written into their rules of govern
ment and standing as bar against
Negro youth.
Where is their sportsmanship?
They have violated the very fun
damentals OF fairness. They are not
after the very best in players. That
: not their first consideration
What they want is white skins.
They are more concerned about
this than they are the color of the
ball with which they play.
Detroit sincerely regrets the very
Unfortunate scene of thousands In
the stands throwing fruit. vegeta-
bleY. etc. at Medwick in
which married the closing innings
Of the World Series. hut this was
an act committed in the heat and
excitement provoked in compeu-
ton and in what was believed an
intentional assault on Detroit
player. There was no Judgment or
thought given by the crowd that
did this.
Worse and by far more repre-
hensible IL he cool and premeditat-
ed act upon the part OF those who
control organized base ball In
America. II is the act that exclud-
es Negro youth from participating
in this national sport. This is aim
ing a premeditaed blow at he heart
of all Negro youth.
Think on this Mr. and Mrs. Ne
gru when YOU spend your hard
earned dollars to see game in
either the American or National
Leagues. If you do you will posi-
bly, find Yourself in company with
many of us enjoying the games
that our very fine boys play on The
sand lots of Detroit.
There will come a day In Ameri-
can life when here will arise set
of men large enough TO see that
discrimination. Such as this is no

longer practiced In the field OF
sport. They will. really appreciate
the value and the scarcity of right
and left arms and skill such as
Dizzy" and "Daffy" have. and they
rejoice to secure their service
whether they be black or white.
But since we are now in the days
of little men in baseball, we will
have to wait.
And while we are waiting, 1t
would possibly be a good idea TO
support our Negro men who are
struggling to maintain a base ball
club. We have certainly given them
hard way in passing their parks to
go to a National or American lea
que game and help finance race
prejudice.
