THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Springfield, Massachusetts, January 18, 1952

* PGA Professional Golfers Association
* Ban of black players broken for the 1st time

This 40 page newspaper has two column headlines on page 36: "Kroll Shatters Course Standard at San Diego" and "Fire Seven-Under 65 for Three-Stroke Lead; Louis Becomes First Negro to Play in PGA Event"

This was the official report on allowing Negroes to participate in the PGA. The following tournament in Phoenix AZ allowed a African American by the name of Charlie Sifford to try to qualify for the PGA event.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Nice condition.
