The SPORTLIGHT
By Jimmie Wrgiht DEMOCRACY IN ACTION


 HARTFORD, May 1O-In De- cember, 1914, a group of fellows approached MT. Cecil Davis of the Charter Oak Lodge of Elks seek ing help in organizing a basket ball team. The request was grant ed after MT. Davis met with the, members of the lodge. The group decided to call themselves the Hartford Trojans, sponsored by the Charter Oak Lodge of Elks.
 Luther Abrams, who formerly starred with the old Hartford Rem naissance, was asked to coach the team, and he willingly accepted the post. MT. Abrams was fortunate 1n that most of the fellows had played on either high school or college team.
 Yours truly was elected captain of the team. Unfortunately, the captain had to assume the respon- sibility of both managing and booking the games. The Trojans completed a successful season win- ming IS out of 27 games.
 During the past season 1945-19 46, the Hartford Trojans started out with veterans, John Kitchens and twin brother Joe, formerly of Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock Arkansas, Jerry Williams, another lad from Little Rock and Jimmie Wright, formerly of Vir- ginia State College.
 Realizing that the team could not carry on with merely four players, the manager saw here an opportunity to experiment. A bas- ketball team composed of both white and colored boys could make as great a showing as any indivi- dual Negro or white team. A whiff of tomorrow's democracy was in the air.
 Al Callasky was the first white player to join up with the Trojan outfit. Callasky had starred with Colts Patent Fire Arms quintet in the City Industrial League for several seasons. He is very fast breaking forward and in all prob ability could have gained birth on any local semi-pro team. Al's brother Map" Callasky joined up with the team in January after doing a, hitch with Uncle Sam's forces. The last player to join the club was Dennis Mccarthy, an ex- Navy lad who has not reached his 23rd birthday, and is a very clever ball handler and should go far in the field of athletics.
 The Hartford Trojans played to- gether as unit-all over the state competing against some of the best semi-pro quintets with the writer filling in as player-coach. The season ended with the follow ing record, IT wins and 12 losses.
 The theory behind the expert ment proved, in small way, that association, learning each others likes and dislikes, is one way of bringing about a better relation ship between the races. The team l was made up of ikeable person alities and race, creed, and color were merely forgotten.
 Democracy is something that is spoken of to a great extent here in America but one has to travel to the far corners of America to find the mere symptoms of it, We are intelligent enough to realize that there will not be an overnight revolution in racial relations, but the sum total of such experiments will slowly but surely put democ- racy into action in America.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
By John M. Lee

cause they were too partisan to me, I thought. They cheered too loudly when I did just ordinary things. I think that is bad and I wish they wouldn't do it. It might make trouble in the stands"
 Jackie is pleading for a chance to be just plain baseball athlete, and not freak to the white fans, nor a superior being to the Ne groes. He believes, and this column certainly agrees, that if it is sport ing to ask the white players and fans to give him chance to make good on his ability, it is just as sporting to make the same request of the people of his own race. It is ridiculous to applaud man and acclaim him until he does some thing to merit it, and then that acclaim should not go beyond req sonable bounds. Some of the very fans who now give Robinson the jitters by their boisterous applause will be the first to brand him a phony should he fail to make the grade.
 Robinson's Zeal For Mastery
 Robinson is in there trying all of the time. He doesn't share the feeling of the Negro fans who think that it's all over but the shouting. He knows that he is still on trial and that he has to do lot of ball playing if he wants to stay in fast company and step up to the top. said before, and I repeat it, that the greatest hazard the kid has is the whole race he is carry ing on his back. He'll have to for get it if he wants to show his real stuff, and I think he is trying like blazes, but it will be an impossi- bility unless the Negro fans CO., operate.
 An assignment to second base is doing it's share to keep sensitive Jackie on edge. It is brand new territory to him and he is trying to get the hang of his new job. He says, q am not at home around here, yet. I made a couple of err TOTS and in one play I just looked silly. I've got to learn and do it quickly and I've got to keep on hitting at the same time. I don't know if we have seen the best pitching in the league yet, but if we have I think I will hit enough"
 Robinson can hit run and steal enough bases to get over the hump provided it isn't made any higher for him by the injudicious enthus- iasm of the Negro fans. They all love him, he knows that, and he appreciates their support, but they can help him most by going to see him play and by just giving him what he deserves, no more and no less. If Robinson has the stuff to go as far as he has to open the doors for Negro players, it cer- tainIy shouldn't be too hard a job for those of us, who are praying for him to make good to keep our boosting down to a common sense 1avnI

Vets 0bjectives
Are Endorsed

CHICAGO-The objectives of the
United Negro and Allied Veterans
of America, an association of Negro
and white servicemen, were endors-
ed by Ebony, the cOulltry's largest
Negro magazine, in an editorial in
its May issue.
In an editorial tilted 1.-THE Ne
gro Veteran Tests America" the
magazine discusses the special
problems faced by the nations
100000 Negro veterans Of World
War II and charges that the Ne
gro veteran is not receiving fair
treatment at the hands of both
industry and government.
Analyzing the programs of the
leading veterans organizations, the
editorial praises the recently organ
iZed Negro Vets movement as "the
most promising of all veterans or
ganizations for the Negro"
With many white eX-servicemen
in its ranks. the United Negro and
Allied Veterans of America is con-
cerned with the very special prob
lens of the Negro soldiers-jobs,
housing, education, and most impor-
tant, civil rights" the editorial
states.
Learning a lesson from the Ne
gro heroes of World War I who
came home to the South to be beat
en- and lynched because they were
Too uppity'' in asking the same
rights and privileges granted all
eX-servicemen, the colored veterans
OF today are gathering their united
strength to beat back the tide OF
reaction in Dixie.
"As the first Negro veterans or
ganization in history is concernet
primarily with Negro rights. the
United Negro and Allied veterans
is a welcome addition to the Amer
lean scene. 1t con do much to-
wards changing concept that has
marked the treatment of white
CT as first vet, secondly and in
cidentally white man but the
Negro Serviceman as first a Negro
and incidentally a veteran"
Referring to the interracial char
acter of the new organization, the
editorial points out that Negro vet
Grams are finding new allies among
liberal white veterans who, it is
stated "are Joining the Negro vet
eran's battle in the grim realization
that defeat on this beachhead
means dangerous retreat for all
America"
