I I 1\ V > The Sports Front With Smoky The Goose and Golden Egg Many owners of professional baseball clubs have always eyed apprehensively the campaign to integrate our stars into major leagues. They have felt, and still feel, that the result would be a gradual lessening of the impor tance of their own organization and, finally, a decrease in box-of fice receipts. It is important, therefore, that our baseball fans should remem ber that it is the lone channel through which Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Don New combe might have traveled to the hitherto lily-white side. If future colored stars are to be delivered to the big leagues, they must definitely come from the rosters of the Negro National and Negro American Leagues. It was while operating in these leagues that Robinson was first scouted by Clyde Sukeforth; that Campanella first impressed Charley Dressen. Now, more than ever, the leagues need your support, and none of the smart-alecky disdain that some fans seem to be sudden ly developing for non-white lea gue ball. The golden egg is won derful and so is the prospect of others to come, but let’s not for get the goose that laid ’em. The next candidates for major league jobs are playing in these leagues right now.
