The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-07-20
BY Jimmie N. Jones

When Bill Veeck, owner of the
Cleveland Indians, stormed into
the joint meeting Of the major
leagues at St. Louis, Tuesday af-
ternoon, he did so with the intent
of giving critics of his deal with
Satchel Paige a piece of his mind
in answer to the editorial written
by the Sporting News under the
by of J. Taylor Sphinx, last week.
owever, the Indian boss found
no one ready to discuss the ques-
ton. Said Veeck, 81 expected to
receive additional criticism from
the league heads, but when l
made my appearance it was like a
condemned man. facing the gal
lows and had been invited to dine
with the warden instead."~
While the editorial pointed out
repetitiouslythat the writer had
nothing agaist the Negro ball
player nor the race, it did how
ever, point out that the American
League president, William Har-
ridge would have been within his
rights to have refused approval on
the signing of Paige to the In
dians, who's age is reported to
be above the SO line.
Doubtless the most surprised
man in the meeting held at St.
Louis was Mr.. Harridge when ap-
preached by me regarding the ar
ticle. Said the league boss, 81 did
not see or read the editorial, and
l feel that any league executive
would give serious thought before
questioning the fitness of any
player decided upon by any club
owner"
Veeck pointed out that nowhere
in the editorial did the item men
ton the purpose of signing Paige
to a contract was to win some ball
games or aid the Indians in bring
ing a pennant which would be the
nature Of any owner who wants

DANCE, BALLERINA!

really have need of the words"
For minutes he stood there, un-
moving, and then, when he could
no longer shut the realization of
what was happening from his
mind, he permitted the music to
enter into it, to take the place of
his thoughts, to flow into his brain;
to fill it to the exclusion of all else.
HE music swept out to him -
the Symphony of the Rain the
very last ballet in which he had
ever performed. 1t was strange
and beautiful music - soft and
moving at first. Then suddenly it
turned powerful and wild and
sounded like thunder shattering
itself crafty over the night. For
a moment it was Budapest - for
a moment he was no longer old,
and never had been - the crowds
were waiting expectantly outside
- the lights cleaned like slivers
of silver pricking ones eyes -
his hands moved easily. uncon-
sciously into position before him.
1t was a difficult piece even for
the male role, but for the ballerina
Gustav stopped, unable to un-
derstand his own thoughts. The
Symphony of the Rain. But she
was not yet ready! What had she
been thinking of? 1t was impos-

forth from the studio room. In
the shadows she was like a fragile
painting of gray and pink. Some
thing to be glimpsed but briefly -
alovely thing that made you catch
your breath and wish beauty could
be captured and held forever.
For a moment he thought that
she looked toward him, that there
was something that she tried to
tell him with her eyes, but no.
These thoughts were only the de-
lusions of an old man.
He turned toward the window
and looked down at the street.
He stared at the hodge-podge of
tiny houses and twisted sidewalks,
and it seemed to him for a mo-
ment that the thing they strove
for could not in the end be worth
the striving. A second. A minute.
He heard the music start, a faint
trickle in the room just behind
him, tried not to listen, to bury
his fears in the depths of his huge
hands pressing against his face.
loo many times he had seen it
happen: a ballerina not yet ready
to begin her career, a brilliant
start at first, for it is easy for
youth to fare brilliant for a time,
and then nothing. 1t must not
happen to Tanya. She was yet
50 young - still a child.
Then he thought, Il should
have asked her. For so many
years she has been obedient, and
kind, and forever understanding.
True, there is much silence in her,
much that feels and does not
speak. But always she has listened
to what l have said, and never,
never once has she said no, never
once in the years has she cried
when many times there must have
been things that she was lonely
for real home, other children
to play with, hand to touch that
was of her own flesh and blood.
She has been to me a daughter,
a loving daughter. 1t is just that
she does not speak of her love,
and sometimes, sometimes we

sible. Thirty years in the ballet
and then, only then had he dared.
Tanya had practiced it only once!
Gustav moved into the room,
but already the music had stopped.
As In a dream, as one unsleeping
and not awake, he saw the Impre-
sario standing next to the ma
chine; his was the hand that had
stopped the music. Il am sorry,
Gustav" he was saying. ''She is
good, yes - but it is too soon; she
has not yet - how shall l say it?
- captured the spirit. Later per-
haps - when she can understand
the beauty, the significance of
what she is doing. As yet it is
merely a gesture to her, beautiful
perhaps, but gesture that is
without meaning. Some day -
perhaps. 80" He was still shaking
his head as he left the studio and
stomped down the rickety steps.
Tanya stood in the silent room,
still poised as though in dance,
while, beside the phonograph,
Gustav stared at the barren floor.
He was trying to gather words to
ask her why she had done this
thing - why she had been so un-
thinking - so willfully proud to
think that she could execute a
piece she did not know " why
she had done the one thing that
was certain to keep her here .
But then he looked down, down
and into the smiling eyes of the
child who stood before him, the
child who did not speak her love,
the child who, instead, had done
this thing. This thing that spoke
for her in the truest words she
knew. So that he would know,
and be sure forever.
ONCE more he could hear the
words of the Impresario when
she can understand the beauty
of what she is doing - as yet it is
a meaningless gesture - meaning
less -" and the room spilled with
the laughter of his gratefulness
and hope, scattering forever the
dust of his loneliness. The End
