NEW YORK (GlobaD - Every
once in while the question comes
up as to who was the first Negro
to play in major league baseball.
We think we can settle it once
and for all. For the information,
we are indebted to Sol White, who
was a personal friend, and who was
one of the first outstanding base
ball players. He was born in Bel
laire, Ohio, June IL, 1868. His first
professional baseball was played
with the keystone Team of Pitts
burgh in 1887.
Mr.. White wrote book, "Color-
ed Baseball" in 1910, and in it he
states that in 1872 Bud Fowler was
the first colored baseball player
of note" He played on the New
castle, Pennsylvania team that
year. Later, the Walker Brothers,
Fleet and Weldy, played on promi-
nent college teams. White said:
White goes on to say that in
1886 Frank Grant played with the
Buffalo team of the International
League. In 1886 there were about
20 Negro ballplayers scattered
about in the smaller leagues. How
ever, 1889 was the banner year for
colored talent in the major leagues,
and such stars as George Stovey
were favorites.

He Trusts Nobody
But Himself
BY JUNE L'RHUE

NEW YORK (Gl0Dal)-We heard
a story last week that was most
pathetic. It was about a little
motherless 9-year-old boy who is
left to shift for himself all day be-
cause his father has to go to work.
Now, this lad trusts no one outside
of himself. AS the story goes, he
is aWfully wild, scornS all prom
ises made to him by others and for
gets, or fails for some other rea-
son, to keep his own. And we also
learned that he was leader of a
gang. Multiply this case by 1 mil
lion and you have good slant on
Americas appalling juvenile de-
linquency picture. Let us study
this child a bit.
There are always causes for such
conditions such as this. The boy
in our article did not just happen
to be without trust at this early
age of nine years old, the period
when most children are supposed
to have a lot of faith, not only in
persons but also in things. For a
boy his age is still very close to
the cradle days, when papa would
not let him fall, or mother was al
ways present to prevent, soothe or
quickly repair the hurt. He has
little or no fears because he has
lived a comparatively painless life,
surrounded by love and care and
other faith-breeding forces which
are due to be lavished judiciously
upon him in this period.
But there was no one there to
see this little fellow through these
trying days when he hurt his fin
ger, or when Johnny Doe took his
Could we not have a visiting
mothers program? Either that or
some other kind should be arrang-
ed. The experts should know. The
city and state would help, too, if
somebody showed enough interest.
Let us put wits and funds together
and save these little fellows.
During the winter of 1887, how
ever, the color line was drawn, and
Negroes had to wait until 1916

inson went to Montreal, to see Ne

plaything and would not give it
back; or when Harry Low said
something about him that was un-
kind. The father may not be
aware of what has happened to his
son and why. He probably is not
to blame for all this, for it takes
kind of social, psychological and
spiritual approach not always found
at this level for such. But there
must be an answer for this un-
toward trend somewhere.
The child has not committed
serious crime as yet, so society is
not concerned and not having too
much of preventive plank in it's
program, probably will not show
concern until or unless the GRIM
lnal point is actually reached.

Senator Dooms
|Curbs in Likely
Satellite Stand
By GOULD LINCOLN

Senator Knowland of Cali
fornia, Republican leader of the
Senate, said today he believed a
resolution expressing sympa-
thetic interest in the peoples of
the Communist satellite" ma
tions may be drafted and adopt
led by the Senate.
He emphasized, however, an
opinion that such a resolution
would in no way tie President
Eisenhower's hands at the forth
coming Geneva "at-the-summi
conference. The Senator said he
was satisfied that the Eisen-
hover Administration has had a
continuing interest" in the peo-
Piles of these Soviet satellites.
Senator Knowland played a
major part in the Senate's recent
action against the resolution Of
fered by Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin, which
would have made agreement by
Soviet Russia to discussions of
the status of the satellite ma
tions a requisite to United States
participation in the Geneva con-
ference. Senator Knowland in
sisted today that if a resolution
dealing with the peoples of these
countries is adopted by the Sem
ate, it will have nothing to do
with the Mccarthy proposal. 1t
will be merely an expression by
the Senate of sympathetic in
tereSt.
The draft of such a resolution,
Senator Knowland said, would
wait the return to Washington
of Secretary of State Dulles and
conferences with him and with
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator Knowland also dis
cuSsed recent suggestions that
Japan and the Western world
increase trade with Red China.
He ranged himself as absolutely
opposed to selling the Chinese
Communists strategic goods, :"
machine tools, railroad locomo-
tives and the like. which could be
used to build up the war poten-
tial of that country. He pointed
to the sale of scrap iron and
other strategic materials to the
japanese by this country before
Pearl Harbor.
Il suppose those who talk of
increased trade with Red China
are thinking of soft goods, like
textiles" Senator Knowland con-
tinued. II am certain, however,
that the Chinese Communists are
not interested in soft goods.
What they want is strategic
goods, and I am against selling
them any.
So far as japanese trade with
China is concerned, Senator
Knowland said he thought it
would be a mistake for the Japa-
nese to become dependent on
China trade in great degree.

ADA Demands Mrs. Hobby

After accusing Mrs. Hobby of

gram, Mr.. Rauh added:
Even more appalling is Mrs.
Hobby's crude attempt to escape
public disfavor by indulging in
the ordinary barracks type of
buck passing. Her first failure
was in failure to take RESPONSE
bility. Equally incredible is her
serene denial that the respon-
sibility and the failure were hers
in the first place."
He was alluding to a broad
cast interview last week in
which Mrs. Hobby said respon-
sibility for the vaccine rested by
law in Surgeon General Leonard
A. Scheele. At the same time
she said she was not criticizing
DR.. Scheele or the Public Health
Service and later issued a state
Iment to the same effect.
