Negro Ba||p|ayers Create Enthusiasm in Mexican L'sue
(by John Nj. es)

NEW YORK-To Hc~ac1 ~-~c-
ley goes the credit for the cca--l-
uing exodus of young man into the
West. 1t was his blunt, 20 Wet,
young man, Go Vest" that in
fluenced the destiny of countless
migratory souls who poured into
the uncharted regions to grow up
with the country. Not having been
around when the great Greeley
uttered the words that started the
human stampede 1t is difficult for
me to know exactly what he meant
or why he was moved to speak
the words that were to change the
course Of history. However, / was
very much on the scene when the
affable brothers Pasquale extend
ed a cordial invitation to all or
the ballplaying gentry to hit the
trail for south of the border, and
happy | am about it too, for / am
privileged to see the American
way really working in a part Of
America.
When the Pasquale brothers
really got going on their program
to build baseball in their native
land, they didn't handicap their
efforts by asking the color of a
mans skin, but they did show
anyone who was interested. the
color of their money. They intro
duced a new angle into the big
game by giving the boys who did
the work and drew the crowds a
fair hunk of the profits instead Of
utilizing the system of paying off
with glamour and newspaper clip
pings.
AT the moment, the Mexican
League is doing very nicely, thank
you, and the color line, which
seems to be the major distinction
of the American game, is M where
in evidence. A negro short-stop by
the name of cambridge Is the talk
of the eight team circuit, and he
is a hero to the Mexican fans who
are warmly demonstrative and
can Guido Brooklyn fans in en-
thusiasm when they have some
thing to shout about. Mickey
Owen. who has been on the big
time long enough to know what
he is talking about says there are
at least a dozen Negro players on
Mexican teams who could go into
the lineup Of any Of the American
or National League teams and
make good without q varm-up.

No group in the world is more
sympathetic to the genuine prob

give when the baby's welfare is
really at stake. But in this da v.
