NEW YORK-(ANP)= Negro
baseball players seeking big League
iberths sre much in the position Of
the famed old film classic lover
the Hill to the Poorhouse. Ways
in those days said they not only
made it hard to get to the poor
house, you had to climb a hill to
get there.
Negro baseball players beside the
racial handicap which is always
present are plagued with two adj
ditional handicaps, age and tenn
permanent.
Everywhere az Negro ball player
shows up. there is the question of
how old is he n For instance, Sam
my Jethroe now Is said to be much
older than his official records
state. Authority for it is a white
ball player now with the Yanks
(who have no NegroopIayers at ALL.
Hank Bauer says he played against
Jethroe over in St. Louis years ago.
Perhaps he did-what does that
prove? Don Newcombe a strapping
big fellow had to put his age up
to get baseball jobn-so that add
ed two years he put on the appli-
cation blank, still plaques him.
The case of Satcher Paige is an
other one, but there is no doubt
that Satch was beyond the accept
ed age limits when he broke the
barriers to play two ssasnns with
Cleveland
If the Negro surmounts THAT age
barrier. he is always personality
psoblem. His temperament is still
wr0ng. He is either too dDciIe or
not dociIe enough. Sammy Bank

The picture in Chicago prob

between Bob Satterfield and Tom

the Chicago stadium. Even the
intercity Golden Gloves bouts be-

say the modern fighter is too con-

Sutterfield to Meet
Lee On0 In Chicago

In May, Chicago has the prize
fight of the month in the bout be-
tween Bob Satterfield, the clouting
young Chicagoan who has decided
to take pugilism seriously. and Lee
Oma who claims to be a heavy
weight challenger of sorts.
This is just the type of fight
satterfield needs in his continuous
climb to the top either as heavy
weight or a lightweight. Satter-
field is not quite ready for a title
bout yet, but he can use bouts
with good trial horse" fighters
such as Oma. gH H H
He should be happy to have
learned that Ezzard Charles would
not be available for the May date,
because he probably would have
lost to the champ and become a
nonentity once more.
II BOD Is as alert as he has been
in his last two fights he figures
to defeat Oma and score a couple
of knockdowns to boot. Since Oms
is not an extremely clever fighter
Bob's lack of boxing style will not
hurt him.
In theory, Satterfield has some
thing Of a glass jaw, but Oma is
not quite the slugger to kayo him.
In such a bout Bob should get a
chance to do a bit of good defensive
work to improve his boxing abil-
Ity. A sensational kayo would put
Bob right at the top. f
