* Jackie Robinson
* Major League Baseball
Pg. 3 contains a full page article headed: "Robinson Stir Recalls Earlier 'Strikes' ". with other heads including: "Tigers' Flareup Over Cobb's Suspension in '12 Only Incident of Kind in Majors" "Walkout by Ty's Mates at A's Park" "Movement Against Jackie Started on Dodgers as Far Back as '46" with various photos as well (see below). This article focuses on the concern of allowing "negroes" to play in the Major Leagues.
Pg. 4 is entirely taken up with several articles having a banner headline: "Game's Officials Silent on Robinson Incident" with the subheads including: "General Strike Conceived" "Jackie Will Get Equal Chance, Rest Up to Him" "Essentially Right & Factual" "Good Conducts by Negro Fans Urged" "N.L. Firmly Behind Robinson--Frick".
Interesting thoughts on the effect Jackie Robinson made on Major League Baseball. You get the complete 40 pg. issue, a bit irregular at the spine with small binding holes at the blank spine margin, a few tears at the edges.
