as saying he didn't know what ac-

under the league constitution a

CLOSEUP
By FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK (GlobaD - Some
wise guy on the Brooklyn Dodger
team made a crack about so many
NEGROES being on their roster.
81 don't mind them in the game,
but now they are really taking
over" he said.
"It's good thing they sent that
Pendleton to Boston," said another,
cor we'd have one in the outfield,
100"
Sore smart newspaper man who
heard these ugly sounds of racial
bigotry among the members of the
once happiest family in baseball,
rushed in the headline, "Racial Is
~uo Brews" in Dodger locker room.
Now that is about over and the
burning cross has been put out
they are trying to say that the
~Hame of this uprising was not de-
liherate, and they blame it on the
short sightedness of some Of the
players.
Negro batting remarks will go
on for years to come. The only
way these things can be abated is
for everyone to forget what is said
the moment it is said. All report
ers know what it is to overlook
any story which might create racial
dissension. Many times, because
their stories would cause injustice
to others, they have buried them,
and that is what should have been
done with this particular outburst.
For the past year, stories have
emanated from the various Dodger
fronts that Junior Gillian, the boy
who won all the awards at Mon
treal last year, had all the pre-re-
quisites for big Lacquer He was
invited to Spring training with the
idea of Seasoning" him and to make
him acquainted with the person
mel of the Brooklyn team, and then
send him back to Montreal until he
should be needed Of course, this
would be when and if Jackie Rob-
inson became injured or was I'M
able to play.
So now what happens? He has
become the sensation of the
/ Spring training games. Manager
/ Dresser saw fit to replace the
grand and glorious Jackie Robin
son at the keystone sack with this
new wonder boy. Jackie, who saw
him play in Puerto Rico, had al
ready said that Junior was a great
player. The report come out of
Florida that he fits and dances
around second base better than
Jackie did in his best days. Some
say he is even faster than Robin
son was when he was doing a bet
ter job of covering second base
than any other player in the Ma
tional League. He must be some
boy if they consider him better now
/ that when the great Jackie was the
greatest of the greats. Doesn't this
sound just little ridiculous on the
face of it?
With all this thunder, the Dodger

Signing OF Two Negro Pitchers By
Hot Springs Bathers Raise Storm
Clouds In Cotton States League
Senator's Manager First To Speak Out

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, April l.
(DSN)-A new chapter was writ
ten in the colorful history of Base
ball here last week when the Hot
Springs Bathers of the Cotton
States League signed two pitchers,
the first Negroes ever to be signed
20 play on a Cotton States League
team.
The two pitchers signed are Jim
and Leander Tugerson, two bro
theirs of Florence Villa, Fla.
The teams of the Cotton states
league are Jackson, Meridian,
Greenville, Natchez, Mississippi,
Hot Springs, Eldorado, Pine Bluff
Arkansas and Monroe, Louisiana.
Since the signing of the two bro
theirs last week there has been
growing indication of storm clouds
rising in the league First to COM
ment was Willis Hudlen, Manager
If the jackson Senators. On the
lay following the announcement
f the signing Of the two pitchers
Ianager Hudlen was quoted as
laying the Cotton States League

An entirely different note was
struck however by Manager Donald
Brown of Eldorado who expressed
the opinion that the introduction

In further development over the
signing of the two Negro players
reports were being freely circu-
ated here Wednesday that the
other teams of the league might
take steps to force The Bathers not
to use its Negro pitchers.

management decided to move
Jackie over to third base and Jack
les immediate reaction was, Glow
can | take the place of a great
third baseman like Billy Cox? But
I will play wherever the manage
ment wants to place me-" There is
no question about the value of
Jackie Robinson as a box office at
traction, besides his ability with
the big stick, and unless something
goes wrong, his speed on the bases.
On hearing about being replaced
at third base by Robinson, Cox. like
any other man, wasn't too please
since he believed he had earned the
right to become the Dodger regular
third baseman. However, these de-
cisions are left entirely to the
manager. When they say Jackie
can't play third base, that he is
losing his speed, someone must be
talking through his hat, because
Jackie will be around for long
time. Maybe Cox didn't like the
idea of being used as utility in
fielder, and maybe Robinson
wouldn't be the greatest third base
man in the world, but the fact re-
mains that the cry which went up
and caused all this racial feeling
should have been stopped before it
even started.
We hope the resentment shown
by some of the players will be ar
rested and that the feeling that has
existed among the players on the
Dodgers for the last four or five
years has returned. AS one of the
players said, "For five years |
have broken my back for you and
for five years you have broken your
back for me. I'll still do it, no
matter what you heard or what
you think. That's all | want you to
remember"

will do after that. the Repub-
licans must decide.
Benson in a Sweat
The problem has put Ezra

lican Secretary Of Agriculture.
in a sweat.
In his policy statements,
Secretary Benson has de-
nounced price supports that
encourage overproduction. To-
day, dairy herds certainly are
producing more than the
market will absorb at current
prices.
Since December /, dairy
men have sold to the Govern
ment-because nobody else
will buy at the Government
set price 40. 900 tons Of butter.
They have sold the Govern
ment 1900 tons of cheddar
cheese and $1,000 tons Of dried
milk.
The Government has paid
about $50 million for these
dairy products. This Is unat-
tractive to Mr.. Benson, who is
trying to put American agri-
culture-on the farm as well as
in Government-on q business
like basis.
But the preSsures for con-
tinuation of the high-support
program are tremendous. An
diversified advisory committee
from the dairy industry rec
commended almost unanimous
Evening star., 1953-02-22

housewives during the last
year have bought more oleo-
margarine than butter. One
reason is that butter costs
more than twice as much as
oleo. And one reason butter
is so expensive is Government
price supports.
A small minority Of dairy
men fear that IL retail butter
prices remain at present levels
by Government mandate
more and more housewives
may turn to oleo. And once
a housewife gets into the habit
of buying oleO, she may keep
on buying it.
Artificially high prices on
milk and cheese also may
cost dairymen some sales.
Thus some dairymen can see
themselves permanently losing
part Of their market unless
prices drop - particularly ON
butter. This minority says
the time to cut prices is now.
Secretary Benson must
weigh this idea against the.
better organized dairy inter-
eSts and farm State Congress
men. He must consider
whether he fairly can trim
price supports on dairy prod
ucts when the Government
for at least two more years
will continue high supports on
grains that dairy herds eat.
He must weigh the principle
he favors Low support levels
against the political and
economic howl that may be
heard from rural areas if he
practices what he breaches.
