Wrigley May Crack

Stem m in g from the historic
meeting of the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Assn. with Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands and the joint
session of the major leagues here
at the Hotel Roosevelt has come
what may be a "break."
Phil Wrigley, owner of the Chi
cago Cubs of the National League,
admitting to a committee of citi-
zens called the Chicago Committee
for Indignation of Negroes Into Or
ganized Baseball that the time is
not far off when colored players
will get their long delayed chance
to play big league ball, tentatively
agreed to hire a scout to look over
colored talent with the idea in
mind of using a player or two on
the Los Angeles Club. Wrigley,
however, said the "time isn't
ripe" for organized baseball to
change it's aged rule of Jim Crow
since we're in the middle of
war" and baseball is not a bit pro-
gressive." Pants Rowland of the
Los Angeles team was present at
the meeting, in die ative, some
thought, that Wrigley was figuring
on using colored players on the

Behind the Play
By Don DeLeighbur

NEW YORK-It's smart to keep
your eyes peeled for developments
in baseball. Baseball has moved
to the No. / position in Importance
to colored Americans during this
war, going ahead of professional
boxing, basketball and football be-
cause baseball, that is organized
baseball, has yet to lower its color
bar and admit qualified colored
players. Boxing has done more
than it's share toward equality. It's
list, long and impressive, of cham
pions in every division proves this.
Negro athletes once dominated pro-
fessional football back in 1920
when Fritz Pollard, Ink Williams,
Paul Robson, Duke Slater, Die k
Hudson, Sol Butler and others laid
the groundwork for the present
National Pro Football League, only
to be unceremoniously kicked out
when the gates got good.
The colored athlete has b e e n
great in basketball except in the
Big Ten; he has held his own in
collegiate football, track, collegiate
baseball, tennis-practically every
sport, including the difficult la
crosse, except swimming. But in
organized professional baseball he
has been consistently barred. That
is why the happenings of today are
so fraught with possibilities and
potentialities and bear close watch
ing.

Burnuuist First President

"The first president was Gov. ].
A. A. Burnquist and the first sec
rotary was Mrs. Lillian Turner.
The second president was Judge
John A. Willis and the second sec
rotary was Miss Grace Lealtad.
Pierce Butler, Jr., was the third
president and Mrs. Birdie High the
third secretary. Rabbi Rippon and
Attorney George w. Hamilton
served as presidents in these early
years of the local branch"
Was Second Largest Branch
At one time, according to Mr..
Johnson, the local branch, with
nearly a thousand members,
boosted of being the second larg-
est branch in the country. For sew
eral years the local branch was in
active. In 1889 the Branch was re-
organized with Mrs. Josie Williams
as the president and Junald Brown,
secretary. Theodore Allen, Sam
uel Reed, Nathaniel Evans and
Rev. B. N. Moore have served as
presidents since 1889. The present
incumbent, Rev. Clarence T. R.
Nelson, is serving his second term
as president of the Branch, which
has 800 paid-up members.
Interesting incidents that have
occurred during the Branch's ex-
istence were related by Mrs. Birdie
High, Miss I. Myrtle Garden, Mrs.
Josie Williams and S. Ed Hall.
Officers elected for the Branch
for the new year, in the annual
election in November, were in
stalled in an impressive manner
by S. E. Hall, assisted by Rev. S.
E. Ware, before the principal ad-
dress. Officers installed included:
president, Rev. Clarence T. R. Mel
son; first vice president, John M.

ton.
In remarks after Rabbi Minda's
address, Rev. Nelson thanked the
members of the Branch for their
cooperation during the past year.
He paid a tribute to the founders
of the local branch and declared
that the present branch owes much
to the pioneers and that most of

mitted that they had.
Difficult to Discipline
Mr.. LaFaver told the committee
that it was very difficult for him
and his employees to discipline Ne
groes who became rough or did
things that they should not do. He
claimed that there was a near riot
during the time of the last party,
on Dec. 9th; that bottles were
broken, windows smashed and a
stampede was made at the checking
counter.
Parties Get Worse and Worse
He declared that for the past two
years the parties sponsored by Ne
groes had become worse, and that
although he did not want to place a
ban on their parties, that he must
in order to save his business. Mr..
LaFaver, who is a private in the
Army, home on furlough, said that
he was constantly worried about
the reports he got from his wife
about the bad conduct of some of
the skaters at parties given by Ne
groes. He said that it was easy
for him to discipline "white ruff
fian" on his floor by putting him
off the floor and out of the place,
but that he dared not do anything
like that to a Negro, because the
whole group would be on his neck.
When Rev. Nelson charged Mr..
LaFaver with being prejudiced in
his decision to ban Negroes, he de-
clared that that was not the case
and that the race question was
raised or accentuated ''by a few
rowdies among the group, who were
able to incite the entire group
against the management"
After arguing about an hour
Rev. Nelson told the Skating Rink
proprietor that he ought not place
the ban against Negro parties be-
fore the one could be given that was
being sponsored by the Baptist
Training Union Of the Twin Cities
on Monday night, Jan. 8. Mr.. La
Faver told Rev. Nelson that if he
(Rev. Nelson) would guarantee him
that the party coming on Monday
night would be orderly and not
wreck his place that he would per-
NIT the party to be held. Rev. Mel
son protested that he should not
be expected to make such a guar
antee. But Mr.. LaFaver was ada
mant and Rev. Nelson finally &C.
copied the challenge to supervise
the Monday night party.
The NAACP president then
called Mrs. Herbert Glanton, presi-
dent of the BTU and Mrs. Edwards
and told them about the conditions
under which the party could be
held. They promised to have some
men to attend the party to help
with the supervision.
Nearly two hundred came to the
party and the party was quite Or
derby. Assisting Rev. Nelson with
the supervision were Mrs. Nelson,
Mrs. Glanton, Mrs. Edwards, Miss

For those who seek something definitely different in their screen fare, we heartily recommend Someone To Remember which is currently showing at the Capi- tol.
 Mother love is the theme of Someone To Remember" Based on an original story by Ben Ames Williams, the film deals touching ly with the affection of a little old Dresden-China type lady for her wayward son, who has long since disappeared.
 Believing that he will inevitably return some day, she refuses to leave her home-the only home he has known. Even when that home is surrounded by bustling college campus and the apartment building in which. she lives is transformed

 The battle is beating against the landed estates of the Junker Gen. erals on a broadening front. Nazi Commentator, Col. Ernst von Hammer, said "the Russians ex- tended their offensive to near the East Prussian border farther to the south and attacked strong Ger man defenses between Kalvarija and Schirwindt."
 Kalvarija, Lithuania, lies 30 miles southeast of Schirwindt, German frontier town AZ miles northeast of the Prussian rail center of h. sterburg and 9l miles east of the capital of Konigsberg.

''M00N IS DOWN"
 COMING TONIGHT
 TO 10TH CENTURY

Doris Bowdon, who returns to the screen in 20th Century-Foxs vivid dramatization of John Stein- becks great novel The Moon IS Down." due tonight at the 20th Century Theatre, had stage ambi- tions from earliest childhood.
 The chestnut-haired, petite act ress, who stands but five foot one, was born in non-theatrical family in the tiny town of Coldwater, Mississippi Doris Estelle, as she was called by her parents, Dr. and Mrs. James Bowdon, attended school in Memphis, Tennessee, where her parents had moved.
 Later at the Louisiana State Uni versity she won prominence in her first collegiate roll of the Karel Capek play "R. U. R.' It was during the run of this play that she was seen by a 20th Century Fox talent scout and signed to a screen contract.
 Her first big break" in motion pictures came when she was cast to play in 20th Century-Fox' pie turization of another Steinbeck best seller, "The Grapes of Wrath" In this picture she portrayed the exacting role of Rosasharn load, for which she won much critical acclaim.
 AS the timid, adoring young wife of a Norwegian miner killed by Nazi firing squad, Miss Bow don has an excellent opportunity to display her varied talents. The tragedy that enters the life of the young bride brings unexpected depths of hatred and revenge out of the quiet little woman.
