Big League BaIOney

Gerry Moore, the Boston Globe
baseball editor, wrote a nice
piece from Florida this week eX-
iting the admiration for Flori-
da Colored man who possesses a
going over the-fence n t
while in the process of chasing
foul balls for a major league
ball club.
An entire Globe column is de-
voted to the high jumping PROV
ess of the Florida 'Hoptoad'
and some lines are given over to
the possibility of the major
league players substituting the
track career of the man.
I suppose this is a great hon
or. Maybe you think so.
To me, it is just another eX~
ample of wasting a full column
by concentrating on a sepia SER
want while cleverly evading the
fact that Dan "Hoptoad" Gath
erS and others of his race could
do far more achievement than
chasing foul balls for racial
"superiors."

Should Be Scrapped

Since they are scrappinl
about everything else in the In
tereSt of strengthening Demo-.
racy, it probably would not be
bad idea to scrap major leagll
baseball as it now exists.
To claim that the present sell
up is a booster of citizen moral
is to claim the sending of Chi
ored troops south is a booster 1
military morale.
In both cases you are wron.
brother!
We might as well get at TIL
roots of this thing now and set
tie it for once and all. Maid
league baseball, as is, can neya
be called a national paStime I'd
a democracy.
1t is a national pastime I'd
white minorities.
Hitler could do no worse in hiI
creation of the sport than Judg.
Lands in his supervision Of thl
game today.
It's all ready for Hitler to taxi

For my part, I am sick and
tired of southern training camp
reports of Colored menials Serv-
ing in the capacity of bat boys,
ball chaSers, and "Colored Hea-
ven" cheering sections located
in jim crow bleachers, all Civ
ing the general impression that
they and their race are not to be
considered in the same class
with the allegedly more Ameri-
can families" of the allegedly
more American family names"
of Kampouris, Heintzelman,
Wietelman, CaStiglia, schnitz.
DiMaggio and Bordagaray.
While Gerry Moore and the
Globe will be the first to deny
any intention of willfully Great
ing such an undemocratic i'm
preston as has been implied
here, the fact remains, never
theless, that evading the Ma
jor League Color Bar which
keeps "Hoptoad" Gathers from
doing more than chasing foul
balls for a big league club, Gerry
and the rest of the Hub report
ers are only aiding the discrim-
nation.
