In Re-Baseball

The SPORTLIGHT would like to
pause briefly to say something about
our great pastime.
1t is a great game, there's no deny
ing that, but it does seem to be woe
fully inconsistent with true American
ideals for it, as yet, hasn't extended
the same opportunity to all races. 1t
still offers all types of eamoufage to
appease the baseball idealist. Despite
the public affirmation of many of its
heroes concerning the welcome advent
of colored ball-players into its fold, il
has always shown an Indifference which
can only be interpreted as meaning 1T
won't happen" And yet it is suppose
to be the GREAT DEMOCRATIC
GAME, one in which all are suppose
to have equal opportunity.
This, readers, is the one real fight we
must win. Baseball is a well estab-
lished sport and a big business. As
such we must fight to include ourselves
in it. At present it would appear as
"lost cause" but it isn't and it is our
task TO keep at it until We are given
the same opportunity others have.
