Too few black base ball A greats in Hall: Powell "Former stars of the black baseball leagues are being short changed by a decision to select only a few of them for the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y.," says Richard Powell, onetime general manager of the defunct Baltimore Elite Giants.

Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard have been picked so far by a special committee. Only a few more, with the final total probably less than are expected to be named later. Powell insists that's a miscarriage of justice. "Thirty or 40 would be closer to the truth." he says. "How the committee arrived at a figure of about 10 I'm certain is a mystery to anyone acquainted with black baseball for any length of time.

How can anyone believe that out of the thousands of players in over 75 years of play from the 1870's to 1950 that, given an equal opportunity, only 10 merit Hall of Mame inclusion?" Powell, now fiO and a retired civil service senipiye living, in Baltimore, was involved' in black basebjll for more than three decades at various positions from tint boy to executive, lie he spent much of that liinr with the Bailimnrc rlub of the Negro Naiiona League, serving as general manager in in Hie waning days of the league's existence.

Aaron's second homer of the afternoon, his 22nd of the season, came with two out la the top of the loth inning off Don Gullett. The homer ended a seven game losing streak for the Braves and gave Phil Nie kro the 10th victory agsinit 10 losses.

Vic RaKhi, the onetime pitching ace of the New York Yankees who wound up his career with the St. Louis Cardinals, threw the pitch which Aaron hit for his first major league homer. That was back in 1934, or, as Aaron put it Sunday, "A long, long time ago."

Black baseball had a rich heritage, says Powell, and the fact that so many players followed Jackie Robinson into the majors proves the high caliber of the talent involved in its long history.

"I also recall that the late Branch Rickey said the year he had Jackie Robinson playing first base that he had the greatest second baseman in baseball playing on first.
