STUDENTS JOIN DRIVE ON JIM CROW BASEBALL New York, April 22 (CNA) — students of DeWitt Clinton High School, The Bronx, this city, took the lead this week in picking up the rapidly growing campaign to end jim-crowism in organized baseball. During the same week “Friday’’ a new weekly picture magazine, took up the fight for recognition of Negro baseball stars in a smashing article entitled ‘‘Base ball Needs Them.” Tfce article* quotes big league managers and players who have testified that many Negro stars belong in the majors, and cites figures show ing the amazing success of Negro stars in post season exhibitions against the big league’s best. “The addition of the battery of Satchell Paige and Josh Gibson to any of the first division Americ an League clubs would make the Yankees the best second team in the history of the game,” the ar ticle says. Petitions circulated at Dewitt Clinton High School met with an immediate response from the stu dents of the world’s largest high school. The petitions were issu ed jointly by the Frederick Doug lass Club, the American Student Union and the Shofar Society. Petitions quote the big league managers and players who asked for an end to Jim Crow last sum mer and say; “In the name of true sports manship in the American tradi tion, we, the undersigned, add our voices in demanding an end to Jim crowisim in Major League baseball.’’ Among its immortal athletes of all races, Clinton has had many great Negro sports heroes. Geo rge Gregory was captain of one of its greatest basketball teams and went on to become Columbia University’s first Negro Captain. The present crack football and basketball team have Negro stars of high caliber. The sensational Negro Golden Gloves winner of the past two years, Buddy Moore and Ray Robinson, are both Clin ton boys. The addition of the high school petitions will add momentum to the tremendous campaign launch ed this year by the Trade Union Atheletic Association, with 33 lo cal AFL and CIO unions and a membership of 300,000. The un ions have set up a Committee to End Jim Crow in baseball which is starting a campaign for mil lions of signature® on a national scale. The trade union and youth movements on the Pacific Coast already have begun cooperation. PITTSBURGH PLATE GLA^SS CO.

April 27 (Atlas News Service)—South Parkway at 4025 lives Dolly Morgan, a seventeen year old high school girl and her widowed mother, Roberta. Dolly was born on Friday the 13th. Since Dolly was a small chjld she has liked the various weird tones of soft sweet swing music, but never had an opportunity ty at tend a (music school because of the limited income of her mother. After Dolly finishing her daily chores, she would take a seat at her fourth floor window and watch the traffic go up and down the great South Parkway, day dreaming and wondering if and when her dreams would come true. At night, she would lie asleep and dream of a song, even the arrangement of the rhythm; upon awakening she would write the music down on the nearest thing to her, which happened to be shoe box tops most of the time. For more than three years Dolly was discouraged from writ ing swing music, but upon the advice of her cousin, Steve Thorn ton, she soon egan to compose. SEEKS OUTLET Fred Downer, Pittsungh Cour ier Chicago sports reporter dis covered Dolly. He helped ser con tact several Band leaders, and has sent several compositions to them. ‘‘INK SPOTS” are looking over one of her pieces “BLAME THAT THRILL”, Woody Herman is waiting for her fourteen piece ar rangemeiit of “YOU’RE STILL 1 ASLEEP.” Duke Ellington says her “PRE LUDE TO A DREAM” is tops, and promises to record this nuim ! ber for her.
