Why Hickey Signed Robinson

Branch Hickey signed Jackie Robinson as the first Negro ball player in the major leagues for the simple reason that he believed Jackie was a good baseball player, according to Wendell Smiths art icle, "Jackie Robinson Could Have Been An Elephant" in the July issue of Headlines and Pictures. MT. Smith himself first suggested Robinson's name to the Brooklyn Dodgers owner.
 Hickey "abhors discrimination and segregation" the noted sports writer says, and tFbelieves all men are created equal. He believes baseball belongs to America and that every American should be permitted to play the game......."
 When Robinson was coming to Maimi, MT. Smith reports that Hickey called in several veteran Montreal players and organized a reception committee. Their busi- ness was to make Jackie feel at home because Hickey said: 'fI don't want him to be standing around with nothing to do at any time. You fellows have to see to it that Jackie isn't ignored or left out of anything.
