thousand fans heard Satchel Paige.
famous Kansas City Monarchs'
pitcher. tell "his side of the story"
SUNDAY afternoon at Comlskey
park between the sixth and seventh
innings of the EaSt-West game.
Paige established baseball prece-
dent when he denied story attr1-
buted to him regarding Negro play
ers in the majors over the public
address system. The story quoted
Paige as saying that mixed teams
in the majors would not be possible
and an ill-advised move because it
would create disharmony.
With a capacity throng listen
ing intensely, Page said: Ladies
and gentlemen, / would like to
take this opportunity to deny a
statement which the daily papers
credited to me.
ST want you to know that I
did not say anything against the
use of Negro players in the big
leagues. A reporter came and asked
me what I thought about Negroes
playing on major league teams. I
told him / thought it was all right.
He said, "Satchel,' do you think the
white players would play with the
colored?' / told him thought they
would, but that if they wouldn't
it might be good idea to put
complete Negro team in the ma
jors."
The umpires held up the game
while Satchel made his epochal
defense speech. With players of
both teams standing up in the
dugouts listening with interest,
