Coiored Ball Pluyers

Why can't the stockholders of the
Washington Ball Club get wise and scout
around for some good colored ball play
ers? Bucky Harris had the experience on
the Pacific Coast last year of resolving
any problems of handling colored play
ers, if any. Around the circuits, Cleve-
land, Boston, the Giants and the Dodgers
are accounting for good crowds not only
because of their stellar colored talent but
because of the liberal attitude of the
management.
1t is a sad commentary that Clark
Griffith's club looks for foreigners, some
of whom can't speak English, while over
looking some of the good colored Amer
leans. Sunday was Sell-out for the
covered stands. If one colored NAT"
were on the roster, the popularity of
the team would become as great as that
of Cleveland's team. 1t was no meaning
less remark Arch Mcdonald made Fri
day night, when he said, "I guess the
Indians must feel that they are in their
own ball park. because of the support
of the Washington fans"

Kindly inform your readers who the
partial instigators of the present scare
buying and boarding are.
In my business dealings in New York
I met customer who is an admitted
Communist sympathizer, if not card
carrying member. Taking me aside, he
informed me that he had inside informa-
ton from relative-a Government en-
ploye here in Washington-that the
President would invoke a surprise freeze
on certain foods and other articles despite
his public statements to the contrary.
Then this customer, whose business I'd
rather not have, informed me in that
sweet ust-between-you-a -and-me tone of
voice that had better get good supply
of the soon-to- -be-frozen articles in, if I
wished to have any in the future.
Yesterday met fellow businessman
who calls on the same customer in New
the same thing.
I am writing in hopes that you will
play up these instigators of boarding

the Reds are very largely responsible for
the present situation. Please tell Wash
ingtonians how foolish they are, falling
prey to this Red whispering sabotage.
