BOBBY BROOKS

BOBBY BROOKS
The story Of Bobby Brooks is one
Of those success stories that makes
Hollywood an easy place TO write
about. Two year ago Bobby vas
sent by Edward Bailey, president
OF the Musicians Union out to War
ner Brothers to do a bit in Bette
Davis picture 1.-THE Great Lie.
The director wanted children with
fairly good voices. So outstanding
was Bobby's voice during rehearsal
that he was given a featured spot
in the picture and sang the lead in
the theme song of the show "Slun-
Der. My Darling"
Today Bobby is at Universal stud
los under long term contract. His
voice is creating a sensation out at
the Universal City lot. But moth
ers before you grab Little Johnnie
or Willie by the hand and do a Wild
dash for Hollywood, I'd have you
consider for a moment longer, not
Bobby's latest success but his years
of work. Bobby. who has been
singing almost ever since he could
walk has been before the public al
most that long. For years he has
been child soloist at various church
es in Los Angeles.
In 1910 he appeared at Treasure
Island as guest soloist with Alma
Hightower and her Melodic Dots.
He won instant favor with lie
World Fair audiences. In 1871 he
appeared at Soldiers Field in Chr
cage as guest artist for the 2nd Al
nual Spiritual Song Festival. Since
that time he has been singing with
a Youth Group under the direction
of Ben Carter.
Bobby, VIC is now fifteen, lives
with his mother, Mrs. Jane Brooks,
who is a cosmetologist and a lie
e1sed real estate broker. His sis
ter Janice is a student at L. "A. City
College where she is majoring in
public health nursing. Janice is
also a fine pianist and sometimes
acts as accompanist for her broLn-
original trio composed Of Cy Div
er, Billie Smith and Tompkins.

]. B. Martin has indicated that
he'll call off the annual East West
Classic at. Comiskey Park in Chic
ago if the Eastern magnates won't
"act right and return the players
they allegedly stole from the West.
This is the GROWING bit of pun
ishing action the former Memphis
drugstore operator can conceive of
in his program of dominance. On
the other hand, the Eastern crowd
has the dough. Save for J. w.
Wilkerson. owner of the Kansas
City Monarchs, there appears to be
no Big Money Man who is spending
it on the Western fringe.
The East has vet to e its share

Harrison, manager Of the Grand
Hotel in Chicago, put up most Of
the money to finance the classic

Greenlee of Pittsburgh. Harrison,
thus far, is inclined to string along
with those who want to keep the
classic going and in this instance.
it seems to be the Big Money Men
Of the East who haven't threaten
ed as yet to pull out of the game
as has Martin for the West.

1t is not too much Of an effort
Of the real baseball enthusiast to
forget the whole business and buy
his bleacher seat for the Cardinal
Giants game, the Yankee-Indian
tilt, or even buy a box seat for a
game between the Pirates and the
Phillies. Baseball has no color
line in the customer side of the e.
quation. Despite contrary agita-
ton, Negro fans make up a big

BEHIND THE PLAY
BY DON DeLEIGHBUR

NEW YORK-The public wants
to know: When are they going to
play baIl2 The question is more
serious than it appears in print.
The Negro baseball club owners
smoked big fat and black Sugars al
winter around their various hang
outs throughout the country and
selpt their chance to make an CT
fective beef about how they were
going to transport their players and
clubs about in 1913 to make league
schedules. They came in the barn
after the horse had been stolen
after the major leagues had gotten
their side Of the matter straigh-en-
ed out-and now the season offic-
tally opened as of May 16, the big
gest news is a lot of wrangling and
twisting between the Negro Amnl-
lean League and theNegr 0 Nation
al League over who stole who.
J.. B. Martin, president of the A
merican League in the West, is
leveIling his guns on Tom Wilson
of the National loop in the East
accusing member clubs Of the sea
board circuit Of swiping a few
guys from certain American Lea
que teams. Martin is hollering
loudly about player Bell Of the Mem
phis Red Sox towned by his bro
ther, B. B. MARTINI and player
Shields Of the Chicago American
Giants and the K. c .Monarchs ap-
pearing in the lineup Of the Home
stead Grays, Cum Posey's and Son
ny Man Jackson's outfit. Also IN
line for a slap in the mug is the
Philadelphia Stars club Of the n
MI which is said by Martin to have
yanked some players from the West
All this yelping and hollering and
beating of the breasts amounts to
nothing insofar as the actual pro-
gress of Negro baseball is concern
ed. What the wrangling owners
an dleagues should be concerned
with i sthe alarming inclination Of
big name players to quit the game
altogether and get a good paying
job in a defense factory or even
join the army where they a at
least eat three square meals a 1ay
and have a chance to advance in
the ranks. "A point few have male
mention of is the fact that few J e.
gro bali players come out Of the
game with anything. More Negro
stars are found hustling quarters,
bartending, acting as bouncers in
night clubs and dance halls, dr1v-
ing taxicabs, or still trying to play
ball after they've reached the ripe
young age Of 50 than in any other
sport.
To begin with, Negro ball play
ers are in a poor paying racket.
