AT BRAVES FIELD

Just why Boston has frightened the
clubs of the Colored National and
American Baseball leagues isn't clear
I've heard many theories.
Bostonians love mixed baseball
games and have always given support
to any well advertised colored team
worthy of its bill board boastings.
But good advertising is the secret of
success.
In 1888 colored players sat in the
historic dugouts at Braves Field and
the famous battery of Big Bill Jack
man and Burlin White put on a bril-
liant exhibition on the allston National
League diamond. l know this is true
because l was there with Gerry Hern
of the Boston Post and other reporters
of the Boston daily press. We watched
a good game.
Boston Royal Giants played the
white House of David that July day
in 1888 before an attendance that was
exceptionally small. There immedi-
ately came forth critics who said col
ored stars could never draw in Boston
major league park.

Rockingham Riffs

Utensils of every description were
heaped sky high by racing fans, who
came from all sections of New England
to contribute their share of kitchen
ware to national defense. 1t was a
noble effort and a clever advertising
stunt to draw a record opening day
crowd.
The surrounding hills tinted in dark

view more glorious. The tote board

the turnstiles clicked and long lines of
humanity formed at the windows to test

BOB QUINN WILLING

I talked with Bob Quinn, president
of the Boston Braves in 1898 and
found this straightforward gentleman
much in favor of having colored hall
clubs play regular contests at Braves
Field, provided they could cover ey.
penses. The owners want Braves
Field operating as much as possible
The original plan of the pioneer
Boston venture was to have presented
Satchel Paige and the then famous
Pittsburgh Crawfords at Braves Field
on July 6 of 1888. The Hub sports.
writers were just about ready to give
the game a crowd-drawing news
splurge when unfortunately the Paige
deal fell through and the white House
of David club was rushed in to subst-
tute for the Crawfords. Everyone was
keenly disappointed, including the
Boston promoters, interest Jagged to
zero and the game did not draw.
The forced changes in the original
game schedule, the substitution, and
resulting lack of sufficient advertising
all hurt the 1888 venture.
But that doesn't mean it can't be
improved in 1941.

Schemers

CAMBRIDGE-Boston's finest Post
Office employees softball team, the
Schemers, just didn't scheme right here
last Sunday afternoon at Russell Hoyt
Field and, as a result, the classy Dun
bars of Cambridge won the third inter
city rivalry game here "a.
BdrIoW Stars
Slugger Wells, starting pitcher for
the Schemers, was hit hard for eight
runs in the first three chapters. Man
ager Cuffee sent pitcher Cruder to the
mound in the fourth and Cambridge
bats were silenced so far as runs were
concerned with the exception of one
more in the fifth.
Big Doc Saunders hurled well for the
Cambridge team, allowing eleven hits
and four runs which came the hard
way. Boston scored only one run in
the first five chapters. Cambridge on
the other hand, smashed out nine runs
and barrage of Is base hits.
Starring for the losers was Lou Bar
low in left field; short fielder Benito,
and infelders Lindsey, Paxton, and
Newton.
The entire Dunbar team plyaed heads
up baseball behind the battery work of
Saunders and Curtis while Boston ex-
hibited the absence of their regular
catcher and a resulting bad start on
the pitchers mound.
Sponsored by the Cambridge Recre-
ational Project, the Schemer-Dunbar
game was a prelim to the featured
Oldtimer's contest. Umpires were Col
Inns and Dottin.
A return game is tentatively schedul-

BOSTON CLASSIC

Whatever happened to our Boston

feel pretty certain that the annual
East-West sepia baseball classic will
be held tomorrow at Chicago's Comis-

Running colored professional league

what can be done.

ed on the hill for the Oldtimers and
both might have succeeded but for a
wild outbreak of errors. Pitcher Lou
Cambridge held the Stars to two runs
IN three innings and Pat Parham the
old Medford Independence Club speed
ball veteran held the Stars to one run
IN three innings until the Sth chapter
when he injured his pitching hand and
his team mates booted the ball all over
the field. Cambridge Stars scored ten
runs IN the last two frames.
"Fits" On Hill
The lone white player in the game,
pitcher Sam "Fitz" Fitzgerald, close
friend and ex-team mate of the famed
Johnny Cooney, hurled a superb game
for an oldtimer and practically won the
game for the younger Cambridge Stars.
Fitz held the Oldtimers to three hits in
five innings but the Oldtimers finally
broke out with a barrage of nine hits
featuring brace of doubles by catcher
Cy Williams and triples by Ted "Sat-
chel" Gillum, clowning first baseman.
and the fleet pinch batter outfelder
Wyman Lee.
Oldtimers tied up the game &c in
the sixth inning and were leading the
Stars TO going into the eighth inning.
Gray Injured
Harry Gray, popular Newton base
ball veteran who starred on second base
for the Oldtimers, was injured and was
carried off the field in the sixth inning.
Gray was attempting to slide back to
first base when the mishap occurred,
lnJuring his leg. Gray's loss was a
tough blow to the Oldtimer infelders
OF Gillum, Foster and Collins which
had put up brilliant battle, pulling
off two double plays and choking off |
runs.
Big Walter Holmes, another New
.on ball veteran, glittered in left field
Tor the Oldtimers, pulling down several
ong range fly balls headed for the outer
limits of the park.
Duncan and Flavious Ward rounded
'ut the Oltimer's outfeld with Ford
md the famed veteran Joel Lewis also
seeing action.
Babe Plenty, the Cambridge center
ielder rounded out perfect day with
hree base hits; first baseman Hurt
sarnered a brace of doubles, and jim
ny Griffin, youthful shortstop, poled
'ut single, double and triple.

Hep Cats Win 1876

On Friday, July 18th, at the William
E. Carter playground the Hep Cats
Softball team humbled the Schemers.
Without taking any of the glory away
from the Hep Cats who played heads
up throughout the game, the Schemers
after having piled a 7-2 lead in the
first half of the game, gave a very
raggy exhibition with loose ball play
ing.
Jim "Speedball" Jones pitched a
good game for the loser until his sup
port folded up. Martin Hurricane"
Hawkins caught we'll for the Schemers
and Johnny "Firehouse" Hill covering
right field in grand style showed great
competitive spirit when he refused to
quit after having a terrible collision
with 210 pound "Sluggo" Wells, the
Schemer centerfelder. Sandy, Hily
Diggs, Desuze and Tobey played great
for the Hep Cats.
The colorful umpire on bases was
none other than Francis Mccoy, for
