Promising Team
Vets Give Mates
Chance In League

The Buckeyes-members OF the
American Negro League was or
ganized November, 1941 by Ernest
Wright. sportsman and business
man. Although the club Is corr
pletely new, the team personnel Is
made up Of players who have had
experience on some OF the out
standing Negro teams in the coun-
try, including such teams as the
Newark Eagles. New York Cuban
Stars, ST. Louis Stars, Memphis
Red Sox, Ethiopian Clowns, and
others.
Team Flashy
The Bucks roster is made up OF
some OF the fastest and flashiest
in baseball today. The way they
handle themselves wins the plau-
dts OF all of the fans. The infeld
is alright. and the plays head up
baseball combination that makes
the crowd get frenzied. The Bucks
have defeated such teams as the
k-C Monarchs, with Satchel Paige
pitching, the Stag Beers OF Bell
Vile, Illinois and the Memphis Red
Sox. The style OF play the manager
uses Is one In which the Buckewe
players fit right In with.
The outfielders roam far and
wide to pull down balls which seem
to be potential hits, also, they have
such strong arms that they hold
the runners TO singles when they
appear to hit for extra bases.
Heavy Hitters
Several men on the team are ca
pable OF hitting doubles, trlples
homeruns. They are fast when on
the bases. They have to date more
stolen bases than any other club.
Recently they defeated the strong
Stag Beers, OF Bellville, ILL.,, one
OF the leading white semi-pro clubs
In that section OF the country.
Team Roster
Parnell Woods Is the manager
and third baseman. and rated BY
fans 10 be the best in the league.
The roster boast OF such players
as Winky james. Archie Ware. Joe
(Buster) Brown, Emmett Wilson.
Samuel Jethroe. Sonney Harris. Ray

heavyweight champ of the
world. Hurley argued that
anyone Lemuel could hit he
could whip, pointing to the
fact thatany fighter like Lem
who could hit had a good
chance to win providing he
could tag h i s opponent.
Franklin could move faster
on his feet than Louis, thus
enabling him to hit and run.
This was part Of the argu-
ment that the Franklin pro-
tagonists offered. The most
impressive point was that he
had disposed of Tony Music
and ponderous Abe Simon in
shorter time than Joe Louis.
