ft,. ? NOT FORGETTING-NED IRISH
~ NEW YORK^CANP) AROUND THE TIME PEARL HARBOR was
- attacked, we fought a local, "lone wolf" campaign against Basket?;
hall's undisputed czar..
Today he is the eyes, ears and heartbeat for the--?ix-hundred millionaires
Who operate and own the stock of historic Madison Square
ir- Btnien* Temple of Sports in New-York City: J
-? -To be sure the iiume bf that towering figure in a sport that com
. rnands the attention of SO-million fans is Ned TrUh?_ ?
It ould be most difficult to convince us that Mr. Irish is free of
a type of bias that would permit the relaxed association of colored

t the Harlem YMCA. This we say in light of these facts:
(a) Our files contain not less than 20 return-registered-receiDt
cards -sent over an eight, year ,st,rofi'h to Mr- Iri^h with never n rcour
pointed atacks On this subject (?) ^
(b) In a day in which the trend to at least make "Sports" interracial
has swept aside the blistering virus that was" major league
baseball's damnable 'Unwritten Law* which served to bar Negro
player alone, Ned Irish has consistently resisted our plea for recognition
of CIAA (colored college) quintets, worthy of competing against
opposition in the universities of learning whose student bodies
are predominantly Whites (?)
While here and there the walls show hrcprhpi and thi? m ih.it
Negro school or professional club plays ever and again our unremitting
crusade plunges ahead, until all Americans, have equal entree
to the baseball picture with its $20,000 salaries in the profesSiOXE

? HOW-ABOUT-THIS, MR. WILLIS???
Harlem has only one outstanding membership in. which, billiards
can be'played under'observation that lifts the spot out of the average
poll room atmosphere. That would be the Willrose musicians
club, 168 W. 132 St., just off Seventh avenue. Herbert Taylor, Jul'
ias Byrd, and Kleeber ("Dark Prince") Willis", are the well known
Harlemits who overseer the club's activities. We address our self
to Brother" Willis since We are a constant "victim'r of^his at the
popular game of "One Pocket"; Look, Kleeber, if the public-demand
(an advance ticket campaign) warrants enough interest in
the community, would you and yUor associates consider staging a
pocket Billiard match to decide the "Uptown Champion???
Players'we would nominate for such a tourney, all local_men-aro
as follows: Paul Grah;my-(T>otroit~STtTh) Hafiv Colo^ "Skirmvher?+-1
