They are Larry Doby, second baseman; Monty Irvin, outfielder, and “Bus” Clarkson, shortstop. Irvin and Doby were the outstanding play ers on the Newark Eagles cham pionship club of 1946. Clarkson is a graduate of Wilberforce Uni versity and has played with the Pittsburgh Crawfords, Philadel phia Stars and in the Mexican league. All three are brilliant players and potential members of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The signing of these three play ers indicates that Branch Rickey has not ditched his plan to give Negro players a chance. There are now seven sepia players in the Brooklyn farm system. At least one of these players—Jackie Ro binson—is due to be promoted to the big league club this season. The Brooklyn organization is the only one in organized baseball that has seen the advantage of signing Negro players. The gener al concensus among baseball people is, however, that the others are simply waiting to see how the “Rickey plan” will work. If he succeeds, the other big league clubs are expected to sign Negro players. Rickey apparently is confhdent that it will succeed, and is snatching up all the promising voung Negro players he can get. The boss of the Dodgers is prob ably laughing up his sleeve at his reluctant colleagues. When they do awake, the shrewd Dodger owner will probably have the cream of the crop in Negro base ball well fixed in his expansive farm system. The Urban League Cagers once again made a bid for first place in the City League by defeating VA Medics 19-15. The Leaguers were paced by the fast breaking, sharp shooting Roland Delaney. In the National sports world we find a great group of vets really going in for the puck chasing game, they represent the Negro branch of the American Legion in Montreal, Canada. Here in Cana da we find the only all Negro ice Hockey team in the World. As for hockey very few Negroes have ever made much headway in the game, other than the famous Carnegie brothers and Manny McIntyre. Aubrey Carew, who is both manager and coach, is also one of the high scoring forwards. -o HONOLULU JOTTINGS By Rufu$ Mallory Honolulu, T. H. January 19, 1947 It was some what of a sad day for most people of the C. H. A. 3 when (2) two of the best liked and best know men of this area re luctantly mumbled their final Aloha, just before boarding a ship that is to take them to the main land and home. These men, none other than Mr. John Miller of Nebraska and Mr. A. W. Moore of New York. Both regarded their stay in Hawaii a most pleasant one, and expressed their desires to someday return, as all do who have once visited the shores, of these enchanting Islands. Twenty-two year old Henry Davis of Flint, Mich., who fought his first professional fight, or rath er the first fight of any kind in his young career here in the island less than two years ago, sports an impressive record of (10) ten pro. bouts without a single set back. In his No. 10 tangling with “David Kui Kong i Young”, Hawaii’s pride and No. 1 contended for Harold Dade’s Ban ton weight crown. Davis, I’m sure, has pulled the biggest surprise in recent years by holding the two fisted,' hard hitting, game Chinoman to a slashing (10) round draw. Most fans and of ficals feels as if Davis should have got the nod. Davis Profor mance against young not only greatly affected youngs status as No. 1 contender for the bantom weight title, but placed himself well up among the top ranking belters of that division. Davis is under the management of Mr. Robert Washington of Washing ton, D. C., who is very capable in his position. Mr. Washington was the pilot for such fighters as Terry Gipon of Los Angles and others who have done very well for themselves.
