THE STORY published not
long ago that it was a can
ard" to claim the Sox had not
been interested in colored
players and had been eager
ly" seeking sepia stars, will
not be swallowed by this writ
er. The Lynn Red Sox were a
Sox farm club of the N. E.
League and the Sox had rare
opportunity to sign the tre-
mendous colored talent dis
played annually at Frazer
field, and sometimes at Wor-
ceSter and other New England
cities and towns.

THE SHORTSTOP chance of
Sox farmland Jerry Green of
Albany is now being discuss
ed in many quarters since
Don Buddin was benched
(.230) and his substitute, Milt
Boiling, is trying to fill the
gap. Larry Clafiin of the BoS-
ton American implies that
neither Buddin nor Boiling
may fit the spot in 1857. This
is a vastly different picture
than that painted at the start
of the 1856 season when the
Sox bench was said to have
been loaded.
STODY WARD, the cruSad-
ing Guardian sports editor,
was discussing the chances
of Jerry Green with me, only
a few months ago. At that
time we both agreed that
Green would have little chance
to come up if Buddin and Boil
lin were as good as publicized.
But today that chance looms
brighter. Jerry is a good
ShortStop. He is a switch
hitter, such as the Sox need
in the lineup. At least he
should hit as good as Buddin.
He might be a whole lot bet
ter.
JERRY GREEN and his
pitching team-mate, Earl Will
son, may or may not break
into the Sox lineup in 1857.
If they don't, they can realize
that even Jackie Robinson
didn't get the opportunity.
They can also be told that
even the great Satchel Paige
didn't land a Fenway contract.
But they can rejoice that Sat-
chel is breaking the barrier"
down in the deep south. May
be some day Boston may be-
come as democratic as Dixie!

Separation Of
Mail Sought
Bv Post Office

We SabaVV
With nearly 10000 pieces
Of mail moving through the
Boston Postal District each
day, 1t has become a matter
OF urgency to find ways and
means Of getting train and
plane mail cleared in time to
connect with late afternoon
and early evening transporta-
ton schedules which afford
the best mail service and per-
nit next morning delivery at
more distant points.
Postmaster Joseph P. w.
Finn explained that each of
these 8 million pieces must be
handled from four to eleven
times depending upon type of
mail, from of address and
distance. Further, it is rigid
regulation Of the postoffice
that all mail must be handled
IN the sequence of receipt It
cannot be assumed by pat
ron that 2 letter deposited in
a street letter box at six
O'Clock in the evening should
be delivered sixty miles away
the next morning because
that distance can be travelled
in the space of a few hours
by truck or train. When such
a letter is received at the
postoffice which may be
several hours after deposit, it
may necessarily have to fol-
low several million pieces
which have preceded it. When
1t is finally distributed and
ready for transit, the train or
truck may have departed in
accordance with schedule.
About one year ago, accord
ing to postal officials, a num-
Der of mailers with heavy
mail volumes were asked if
they would cooperate in a
tests program. These firm
agreed to the segregation of !
.ocal Boston Postal District |
nail from outside mail before I
deposit in the local postoffice. /
Special labels were provided I
~ the poStoffice to clearly
Indicate these two separations.
The adoption of this plan
made it unnecessary for the
'ostoffice to process all mail
rom these firms in order to
iecure the pieces to be dis
PATCHED by trains, planes or
rucks, which transportation
Mediums were scheduled for
departure within a matter of
lours after the receipt of the
nail. The packages of letters
e signated d "Out-of- Town
we're Immediately removed
rom the deposit and turned
'ver to the section handling
ne distribution of this mail
or the next dispatch so that
lelivery was assured as much
IS "a hours earlier at distant
POINTS.
Sufficient time was per-
nitted after the departure of
his out-of-town mail to
handle the separated Local
nail and make it available
Tor next morning delivery.
Postmaster Finn pointed out
hat it is the old axiom of
5he poStoffice to "get the
nails rolling" but this cannot
De accomplished until distri-
have been completed.
Any assistance given by the
public in the separation of
.ocal and outside mail at the
'ourcewill enable the post
office to bypass preliminary
distributions and complete
secondary distributions faster
with mutual benefits to the
service and to the mailers.
This is one sure way to
expedite mail through the
oostoffice," said the post
master, "and at no expense to
the mailer"

SPORTS WITH STODY
BY RALPH WARD

Thursday, I dropped in on
the genial manager of the
Central So. theatre in Cam
bridge, and this fellow. john
ny Buckley, is "Ted" WilliamS'S
staunchest supporter and fri
end of many years. My pur-
pose in visiting Buckley was
to get true picture of a
much maligned ball player in
the person of Tied Williams.
Most of us have heard that
'"Ted" was definitely against
having Colored players with
the Red Sox. This statement
is mot true" according to
Johnny Buckley. Tied" as
sociates with the Colored play
ers and gives them "tips" in
batting just as much as he
does the other players, He is
friendly with Minoso, Al Smith
and Dolby; they have chatted
together on and off of the
field. SO if Buckley'S statement
is true and I have no reason
to doubt it,. we can eliminate
"Ted" from this would be
vicious circle" of prejudiced
ball players. I really don't
know what classification to
put Johnny Buckley in at
Fenway Park, he is all over
the place. I have seen him
in the locker-room, official
offices, press box, dug-out,
press gate and every other
niche and Granny of the base
ball field. What is his capa-
city? I frankly don't know
and I guess a whole lot of
others are wondering too. I
appreciate his giving me this
information so that ] can pass
it on to you so that it will
be much clearer in your mind.
&&A%#&&&&
At the rate that Frank Ro-
hinSon. of the Cincinnati Reds
is going this year, It is pos
sible for him to be the seventh
Colored star to win the 1888
rookie of the year" award.
Most all of the Colored stars
in the National league think
that he deserves the honor.
The other winners are as fol-
lows: Jackie Robinson, 1947,
Sam Jethroe 1850, Joe Black,
1852, Don Newcombe, 1949 and
Gillian, 1858, Willie Mays,
1851. Come on, Frank, we
hope that you make it. Dir
die" Tebbets, deserves a great
deal of credit for bringing so
many Colored players up so
soon taking over the reins of
the Cincinnati team. I wish
that we had more managers
like him, lots of luck, Birdie.
The present roster of the
team has the fol-
lowing Colored players, Frank
Robinson, bob" Thurman,
Brooks Lawrence, Joe Black,
George Grove and Scantle-
bury, quite an array of sepia
stars. Let's hope that we can
to get some of this
good Colored material out of
tne Southland for the Red
Sox.
&&&%*A&&.
Scouting in the New England
area for Colored players isn't
the easiest task in the scout
ing business, as the Colored
ball player has to have a
tremendous potential. It does
not matter which big league
team wants the player, he
must have more ability than
the average player to be re-
cognized, in fact, about thirty
percent more. Just scan the
big league rosters and see how
many of the Colored stars are
sitting on the. bench. At pre-
sent, we have about 4S Tan
players in the both leagues
and don't believe that there
are more than one or two
bench warmers. Today, if you
want to be a big league star,
you must have a very good
potential and to be constantly
developing into an all round
n1aver The first, thino to de-

velop is a good arm, without
it you may as well forget big
time baseball and to be able
to run real fast. 1t is common
ly known that big league OPP
orators expect Colored players
to be able to run faster than
the rest of the players. If
you can excel in these two
things, and if you have a
good baseball potential, the
rest should not be too much
of a problem with perserver-
ance, and lots Of practice.
Good hitters have been de-
veloped and good fielderS have
also been made out of only
mediocre f1elders. SO make
sure that you have the basic
principles to start with before
that you waste a lot of val
liable time. I am very inter-
ested in seeing a good Colored
player join the Red Sox and
if possible, right here in Bos-
ton.
I have been reading and
hearing a great deal about
pitchers using the "bean ball"
MORE TO GAL. TWO
on batters that come to the
bat with men on bases. per-
Sonally don't think that it is
fair to expose g batter to per-
manent injury or death just
for a base hit. An umpire, un-
less he is blind, can usually
tell when a pitcher deliberate
ly is throwing at a batter
especially if it is repetitious.
They claim that Minoso
crowds the plate, so what, he
is not taking any more space
than he is entitled to take.
This poor fellow has been
hurt and even sent to the
hospital from not wild pit
ches" but deliberate beanings.
Players refiexes are different,
some are fast and some are
slow, which means that if he
doesn't respond quickly and
get out of there fast, he will
be candidate FOR the hos
pital or the morgue. This is
the umpires and league off,
cialS responsibility. They
should be more alert to this
dangerous situation and to
take positive action, immedi-
ately.
We have a former great
pitcher here in Boston, viii
Jackman, one of the best.
1 have never known Jack"
to throw a "bean ball" in the
entire time that I have known
him and he faced the best in
the East. One of "Jack's" RI
val batters was the great
"Wally Berger" of the Braves.
who had won the home run
hitting title in the National
League. Jack" didn't have
to throw him any ''bean balls"
but struck him out four times
at Somersworth, N. H. in a
post season transforming
game. I have heard "Jack"
cry out a warning if he
thought that his pitch was
going to hit a batter and if
he accidently hit a batter, he
would walk down to the bat
ters box and apologize pro-
tusely. Another gentleman on
the ball field was Jacks"
battery made Burlin White,
a superlative catcher and
quite a fancy Dan" around
the plate. Whitley" was also
a good hitter and plenty
smart in back of the plate.

Althea Gibson, unknown to
many of you Boston tennis
stars, was coached and
brought into prominence by
none other than Spike Cor
bin Of Cambridge. He coached
her in many sports at Willis
ton High, Wilmington, North
Carolina. He claims that she
was outstanding in all sports,
even pocket billiards.
