Those of us who have followed base

that Di Maggie was great player But
baseball, like so many other activities, has

Two interesting things happened in
baseball over the past two weeks. Both may
have solutory effect on the fortunes of the
Negro in our great national pastime
Several weeks ago--in this space-it
was noted that friends of Joe DiMaggio had
appealed to him TO speak out and deny or
confirm a report that he had said he would
not play with the New York Yankees if
Negro were signed to play. 1t was pointed
out that il Joe refused to settle the queS-
tion and the Yankees subsequently, hired
q Negro, ii would lend some eredence-not
conclusive, however to the report of bias
This, many of his friends felt, would cast
q dark shadow over the noble escutcheon of
the Yankee Clipper. But Joe ignored the ap-
peal, and he has quit the game. Perhaps it
was difficult decision to make; then, it
could be that Joe thought his attitude was
a private matter. This would be true if it
had not been reported that Joe had uttered
the jim crow statement on several occa-
sion.
Some of Joes friends, trying to defend
him, observed that the Clipper had fire.
quently posed with Negroes; whereupon it
was pointed out that posing with Ne
gro for publicity stunt and playing with
him on the same team are quite different.

future about Negro player may 60 a long

The other event was the signing of Ed

Louis Cardinals. Stanky's case is just the
opposite of that of Joe DiMaggio. The pep

of Michigan: "The death of my
