Paige, at 40 has long been ac-
claimed one Of the greatest pit
cheers in baseball. That he did not
get an opportunity to play in or
ganize ball before 1948 is one of
the United States heart breaking
sagas Of Illustration and futility
brought on by rigid jim crow po-
licy in major league baseball. That
pattern prevailed until Branch
Hickey signed Jackie Robinson in
1916 and sent him to the Montreal
Royals. After successful year,
Jackie was moved up to the parent
club, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Jackie's debut into mapor league
baseball heralded the signing of
Henry Hank" Thompson and
Willard Brown by president Rich
ard Muckerman of the st. Louis
Browns Of the American League.
Brown and Thompson were subse-
quently released.
The Cleveland Indians broke into
the headlines by purchasing Larry
Dolby from the Newark Eagles,
with the owners Abe and Effie
Manley receiving $4,000, although
they reputedly offered Dolby to the
Indians for $4,000.
Dan Bankhead' purchased from
the Memphis Red Sox, had a brief
outing with the Brooklyn Dodgers
an played in the 1947 World Ser
les before being shipped to the
Montreal Royals an to Nashua of
the New England League.
Dolby got regular berth with the
Indians during the Spring but in
juries have limited his performan-
ce. Roy Campanella, farme out by
the Dodgers after being purchased
from the Montreal Royals, was far
med out again to the ST. Paul
Apostles of the American Associat-
ion.
Back to Paige, Manager Lou
Boudreuu said Paige would be in
uniform last night, when the Indi-
ans were scheduled to meet the
Chicago White Sox.

Speaking frankly at the Pan-Amer- ican conference, Marshall explained that the United States will not be able to afford blank checks for Latin America, although she is willing to do as much as she can.
