SAFETY
Someone has said, “The quickest
way to get on your feet is to get
on your knees.” Perhaps one may
add that the best way to stay on
one’s feet is to stay on one’s
knees.

Thursday night the hard hitting
fast and skillful base running In
dependents downed the American
Foods team by a score of 13-8 in
the city soft ball tournament.
Skillful base running by Rogers
Louis and Shorty Botts gave the
Independents an early lead only
to have the game tied up in the
5th inning 8 to 8. Then a barrage
of hits including round trippers
by Rogers and Louis put the In
dependents back in the lead. And
from here they went on to win
13 to 8. Henry “Hank” McWill
iams, ace pitcher for the Indepen
dents, turned in an excellent per
formance.
Mr. Buddy Young, 5-foot 5-inch
speedster from Illinois, stuck out
like a thorn in the side of the
powerful Chicago Bears as he and
his team mates downed the Bears
16-0. Buddy gained an average
of 165 yards, mostly on passes.
He also picked up a number of
yards through holes opened up
by team mates in the Bear line.
The second Negro player to
join the Dodgers will be Don
Bankhead of the Memphis Red
Sox. Bankhead, who is 23 years
old, is leading the pitching of the
Negro American League. He has
10 victories and 5 losses with 113
strike outs to his credit. It is
stated he is to join the Brooklyn
j club immediately.
Herman Hill. Seal's Chief Speaks
San Francisco—Charles Gra
ham, veteran owner of the San
Francisco Seals of the Pacific
Coast Baseball League, gives two
principal reasons why a Negro
player won’t wear the uniform of
the Seals this season.
The first, and foremost, is be
cause the owners of the Cleve
land Buckeyes assertedly failed
to give him a full measure of co
operation when he recently at
tempted to purchase Sammy Jeth
roe, fleet Buckeye outfielder’s
contract.
Second, when it became public
ly known that he was negotiating
for Jethroe, he received several
hundred phone calls and letters
from good American (?) fans in
Frisco condemning his actions.
Meanwhile, according to him, he
failed to get one single letter of
compliment.
Forthright and courageous in
his stand, the grizzled pioneer of
the Coast loop has not changed
his opinion on the subject, and
is still of a mind to make another
try in ’48.
Sports loving fans in all walks
of life should drop Mr. Graham
a line of praise for his progressive
efforts at the Seals’ office at 16th
and Bryant Street in San Fran
cisco. These letters will serve to
keep his interest alive in the pro
ject as well as assure him that
there are still those who have
faith in working democracy.
