NEGRO BALI.
PLAYERS GAIN
RECOGNITION
(By Crusader News Agency


me first big league magnate las
spoken out in favor Of admitting
Negro baseball. players to the game
The President of the Pittsburgh
Pirates Of the National League, viii
liam E. Benswanger, in response to
query from the Daily Worker,
said this week:
II ne question of admitting col
ored baseball players into organized
baseball become an issue wo,t. d
be heartily in favor Of it.
Il think the Negro people should
have an opportunity in baseball just
as they have an opportunity in mu-
sic or anything else.''
This simple statement by q big
league owner, the first of its kind,
fot owed the rapidly mounting tide
Of similar statements by big league
managers and players themselves, a
tide which promises to rip away the
last fimsy excuse for continuing
the shameful discrimination against
Negro baseball players.
Already Managers BIl McKech-
ME, Leo Durocher and Doc Protho
of the National League have named
Negro players with the ability to
tar in big leagues, and have said
bluntly thai t.ley would be glad to
sign some of them if given permis-
ii N by the magnates.
In the American League, Mana
gers Haney and Baker have vouch-
ed for the fact that there are many
Negro stars qualified for big league
play, and that the situation il en-
tirely up to the owners.
New York, Philadelphia and Buff
falo sports fans can't see why Ne
gro ball players are not in the big
leagues right now. The Young
Communist League petition cam
paign to crack Jim Grow bars is
going over in big way in all three
cities. On recent banner days
Buffalo got 1000 signatures and
Philadelphia 700. More than 25, 900
signatures have been collected in
New York City.
In Chicago, forty thousand fans
voted for the end of baseball
Jim Crowism by attending the
championship game between two
Negro teams representing the West
and the East, in which the latter
won a 4-2 victory.

Patterns Are Bigger
And Better in the
Neckwear Field

The general, broad trend in mems
ties is toward much brighter mot
lighter colors. Rep stripes in three
colors are especially good, while
solid colors in ties are at low ebb.
Bright colors in ties look especially
we'll on the shirts which are lighter
in shade AS for colors, blues and
reds always sell well, but the popu-
larity of different shades of green
ties is increasing and seen in many
color combinations Colorful pat
terms in ties are also good to har-
moniZe or contrast with the general
lightness in shirtings.
In the neckwear field also men are
becoming accustomed to wearing
lightweight ties in summer In foul
ardes and crepes the news Is that
patterns are bigger and bolder. In
these as we'll as crepe and Palm
Beach ties, almost any pastel shade
(even yellow or rust) solid or pat
terned-is acceptable because it is
good with white and light suits.
Blues and maroons are always good
and greens are also important. These
colors are all contained within
stripes or in solid colors. The above
ideas are also available in bow ties,
though the demand is somewhat linn

Outstanding
Hat Styles
For Men

Outstanding in the hat styles pic
ture is the new willingness of the
public to accept extreme novelties
in hat trims and textures, particu-
larly on hats of the Tyrolean or
sports type. introduced for country
wear, these are more and more
being used with informal town
clothes. Novelty bands, feathers
and ornaments that would have
been unthinkable a few seasons ago
are now taken for granted, espe-
cially for young mems hats. New
flnishes-suede, chamois, pebble, etc.
are very popular for spring and
are expected to be taken with un-
diminished appetite in the fall. In
short, it is evident that men-and
particularly young men-are today
getting much more fun out of their
hats.
In shape, the low-crown, wider
brim trend, growing in the better
shops for years, has now reached
the point Of mass acceptance and
will doubtless continue through the
fall season In harmony with the
broad-chested, wide shouldered ap-
pearance of suits.
In color, green's are rapidly
rising in favor New tans-espe-
cially the neutral greenish tan
classed as covert-are making pro-
nounced headWay. Grayish blues
show new promise. The volume hat
trend, so long confined to dark
brown and gray, now seems to be
providing the public with a new en-
joyment of color
For summer, straw hats are Offer
ing the first radical change within
the memory of most men. Many
men are going to put on straw hats
for the first time this summer fol-
lowing the introduction of a whole
range of new tropical types of soft
novelty trimmed straWs-Tyrolean
shaped panamas, Hanokis, Coco
nuts, raffias, peanuts and many other
soft, weightless, porous woven hats.
Brought out for country wear a few
seasons ago, these hats soon over
stepped that limitation because of
their evident comfort and new
smartness.
With wider brims and more color
full trim. these hats will also be
recognized as enjoyable companions
for the sport shirt and slack out
fits.
The staple sailor, of course, will
still have an important place. In
style it will be marked by lighter
weight, wider brim. more fancy
band and an increasing use of the
various ventilated construction.

Ornate Accessories
Not Correct With
Sport Costume

Spectator sport clothes will be
prominent this summer because of
their increased versatility and fine
workmanship. However, even the
most attractive outfit may be ruined
by the addition of incorrect &C
cessories. Fine jewelry, sparkling
ornate and valuable stone should
not be worn with casual clothes.
Instead, wealth of novelty iewelrv
offers unlimited selection and such
things as shells, flowers or other
"gadget" jewelry is suitable. 1t is
best to let one ornament suffice and
a smart clip or choker is in the
best Of taste. Tailored bag, gloves
and hat complement spectator sport
clothes and of course you will leave
your high-heeled slippers tucked
neatly in the cupboard, awaiting
the occasion of more formal affair,
Simplicity is absolutely necessary to

Novelty Shoe
Now Popular
For Sports

The trend of antiquing on men S
shoes-or coloring down of lighter

which started out as a custom
proposition-is becoming more i'm
portant for volume now. BY fall it
will be factory proposition. An
tiquing is good on smooth and
grained feathers as we'll as in per-
forations and to highlight pinking.
1t gives the shoes a spotty, uneven,
custom-mad and expensive look
which is more on the informal than
the formal side.
There are red and brown stains
on tan leather, gold on tan as we'll as
green on tan and black to get the
yelloWish and greenish gray shade
so popular in other mems apparel.
Black, which used to amount to as
much as so per cent of the volume
IN mems shoes now amounts to be-
tween 30 and 40 per cent.
The design of mems shoes is to-
ward streamlined effects: slightly
less medallion trimming on the toes.
but more trim along the extensions
or outer, upper edges of the soles-
even as far back as the heels. in
some cases, to complete the stream
lined effect.
Rough grains are very important
and complete the masculine picture
of informality and roughness in tex
lures for suits as we'll as rough fin
lshed sports and semi-sports hats.
The summer country shoe picture
for men has changed as drastically
as the summer hat picture. Shoes
show the unmistakable peasant in
fiuence in square stub toes, woven
types, sidesrlacings These novelty
types which. carry out the comfort
able, informal picture in mems
clothes, will vie with the conven-
tional summer sport shoe of tradi-
tional white with black or brown.
Rejecting the heavier types in street
shoes, sport shoes also carry more
detailing with soles heavier, spades
and extensions fuller.
