1000 Witness
InitiaIGame
At Washington

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
The National Negro baseball
league opened its season here
Easter Sunday with the WASH
ington Grays taking a double
header from the Newark Eagles
before a crowd larger than any
opening day crowd in either the
American or the National League
parks. More than 1000 paid
admissions were in the stands,
topping the Yankees by 5000
and the others almost as much.
This is an indication OF the
hold baseball has on the Negro
population.
Even in the larger cities, the
majority OF the tenants in the
bleacher seats, which actually
sustain baseball because OF the
steady patronage Of the lower
priced seats, are Negroes.
Baseball magnates will heed
the demands OF those seeking
Negroes in the big leagues ere
long as soon as the old pocket
book pinch is felt.
