Saturday night, Januai'y 25th
the Urban League Cagers travel
to Omaha for a return game
with the Omaha Y. M. C. A. As
it now stands we find the Omaha
cagers one game to the good on
the Leaguers. In the city league
the Urban Leaguers now holds
down fourth but are fast making
their bid for a higher spot.
Jesse Owens, former Olympic
track star, has now given up his
running and has settled down to a
comfortable living afforded by his
sporting goods store and home in
Detroit, a baseball club at Port
land, Oregon and a basketball
team. He is now bent on winning
the greatest race of his career—
against intolerance.
What Happens to Jackie
, Is Still Big Question
NEW YORK—(ANP)— There
' is much pother about where Jack
ie Robinson, stellar member of
the Montreal Royals baseball
___ I
team and valuable baseball chat
tel of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is
going to train comes February.
Petitions from many parts have
poured into the Dodger office
asking that the mighty Jackie be
permitted to play with other
teams against the Dogers. All of
which has the Brooklyn man
agement in a dither.
If Jackie returns to unhospit
able Florida with the Royals, he
will be in competition against
other Brooklyn farm teams, St.
Paul, Mobile, and Ft. Worth, even
if they have to play in private
without the benefit of native
spectators.
All of this planning and count
erplanning could be avoided if
Robbie were hauled up to the
Dodgers. But this will not be
done, Rickey states, until and un
less the head coaching staff under
Leo Durocher decides he rates
the honor.
Right now, there is no such hint
of such a move. Thus Robinson is
holding up completion of the
training plans for the extensive
holdings of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Rickey’s farm teams include some
700 players distributed among 25
various teams in different leagues.
Last year, the chain numbered 20
teams with 15 of them first divi
sion outfits. More have been add
ed since last year,
