HE marks-not that you won
or lOst-but how you played the
game"
Grantland Rice
GKANTLAND RICE, a halt
century Prince among sports
writers, has completed his
chores on Planet Earth. Like
the late Ernie Pyle, GrantIand
Rice dared to be rebel against
the intolerances of his time.
He was a friend to the poor,
struggling and oppressed. 1t is
most significant that his last
column was in praise of col
Ored American, Willie Mays.
FIFTY YEARS of journalism
is twice as long as the humble
endeaVOrs of yours truly. But
in those fifty years, Rice, Wal
ter Van Camp, Doc Amy, Nat
Fleischer, and a few choice
Others rose far above their
paleface brethren in the re-
cognition of Tan Yanks. They
had courage to speak when the
majority of their fellowmen
stayed silent on race injustice.
ALL-AMERICANS, like Fritz
Pollard, Robson, Duke Slater,
Brice Taylor, and others OF
yesteryear, hardly could be
totally ignored, but they I'M
GQubtedly would have been
given less sports recognition if
it had not been for men of
such democratic dimensions as
Rice and Van Camp who were
pioneers in selecting sepia
stars. They set a pattern of Ii
beralism in American sports
which has been good for our
democracy.

DRY. Even to-day, most Boston

JACK JOHNSON proved that
some journalists were sports
writers and Others were just
poor sport. Also color blind.
One needs only to read some
of the written reports of the
Jack Johnson era. All through
the long years a spOrtswriter
who was "fair' to a cOIOred
man was as rare as Uranium.
Men like Grant Rice helped to
straighten these boys out.

THE BASEBALL Writer'S AS
ISOLATION could land should
have toppled the Major League
color bar many decades ago.
1t did nothing. 1t was the long
SO year crusade of colored
sportSwriters (who even corn
cred Judge Landis) that did
the trick. Men like Fay Young,
Rollo Wilson, Ches Washington,
Wendell Smith, Sam Lacy and
many more finally won over
men like Rice, Powers, Egan
and others. Previously we had
polled all League clubs.
THE TIME existed when col
ored sportswriterS were banned
from press rows at sports events
open even to foreign language
newspapers. And without any
fury of protest from any size
able proportion of paleface
brethren. Men like Rice helped
remove this barrier. In lates
years met real fine sports
writers as I sat in press rows
at Harvard, the Garden and
Arena, Fenway, Braves Field
and other sports centers.
TO APPRECIATE the good
works of men like Grantland
Rice, one must understand the
conditions that existed during
the bitter years before color
bars were abolished. To young
er readers these hard times
may read like fiction. Many
may never experience such an
era of intolerance. OF that
there is no guarantee. But 1t
was the ability to rise above
such times that made Grant
land Rice a genuine good Amer
lean.
