whose colored stars make a great
showing against them. Whenever
they have played Cleveland, Larry
Dolby has been a thorn in their
side, and AL Smith has given them
many an uncomfortable moment.
When they play the White Sox,
Minnie Minoso wears them down.
And even when they play lowly
Philadelphia, they find it rough 60
ing against Vic Power, who was
not quite good enough to play with
the Yanks, but who is good enough
to "give them a fit" when he plays
against them. Powers arm and
batting eye are both factors to
contend with.
The Negro players, almost with
out exception, have been above
average players, and they have
been most colorful. They have
added great deal to the game of
baseball at a time when baseball
needed a good shot in the arm. But
for some reason, the colored boys
who play against the Yankees, get
even better. They seem inspired to
do their very best, and they almost
invariably do.
There is bright side in all this
for the Yankees, though. Whether
they win or not, people flock to
see these Negro stars, and when
the attendance is up, it's good for
the Yankee cash register, too.
