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.

FRED DOWNER DISCOVERS ‘GENIUS’ DOLLY MORGAN
Chicago. 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.
