DIES MONIES, Iowa-(SNS)
Since can remember and no
until very recently the Negro
Sports Press, nation wide. has
been hammering away at the Ma
Jor Leagues of baseball. The clos
est TO getting in has been a. Ne
gro team VS. an All-Star white
team in which games the Negro
teams have more than held their
own.
However, recently, since Negro
Major League Baseball has become
million dallor business annually,
certain Sports writers have been
voicing the idea, to develop the
Negro Major League because en-
trance into the White Major Lea
que would be suicide to Negro
Baseball.
Latest writer Of this opinion is
Joe Bostic, Sports Editor of PV,
New York tabloid in whicIl he says
in substance shat supposing three
Negro players were allowed in the
Major Leagues at salary of $15.-
600 each; Bostic claims that all
Negro baseball fans would mono
police the attention OF Negro and
white present followers of Negro
baseball to the great injury of the
Negro Baseball eXchequer He al
so goes On to say that the by
products of the now emerging mill
ion dollar ness-advertising to
Negro newspapers, salaries to sec
rotary, managers, officials, score
keepers and others-would oil be
hit by the indignation Of Negroes
into Major League Baseball. 1t is
for these reasons that Bostic says
mo" concerning Negroes entering
the Major Leagues.
It takes every kind of person to
make this world the place that ii
is, but I'll be damned if that
kind of compromising, selfish Ne
gro isn't what we are trying to rid
