.625 .625 .571 .500 .000 .000 natt Tigers: CbeK Washington, Spoils Editor, The Pittsburgh Courier, Pittsburgh. Pa. Dear Must commend you on your recent comment in rerard to players Vincent and It was the most impartial and fearlessly written article I've lamped since the Honorable Ira Lewis stopped writing sports. The Crawford management should be penalized (fined) for still clinging to Vincent on the pretext of the Grays not paying any training expenses. Hello to the staff.

"Dizzy." Football without consulting Jim Taylor. Upon being questioned about this unethical step, he canceled a series of games scheduled with Chicago American Giants at Greenlee Field. Later on, he wanted to be rein stated without making amends In any form for the losses sustained by R. A. Cole, or disappointments forced upon the baseball public.

In conducting his periodic pastime, "Cum Posey's Pointed Paragraphs," ho referred to this writer as the "alleged" secretary, labeled the league headquarters as a oook in office for the Pittsburgh Craw fords, whined about a proposed trade of Gibson for Perkins and Cooper, which was never com ipleted; charged this writer with halting the presses of The Pltis burgn courier ana naving ine trade story stopped; concluded that after his expulsion the "Negro National League was history," and branded all the owners except Tom Wilson as "blockheads," or words to that effect. He raved and ranted. Underois tlmated everything which the Negro National League attempted. Turned sour on the East West classic in Chicago. The faults and wrongs 'which he listed made it appear that the Negro National League was about the worst, thing In our civillziation.

The wrong men wer at the head. Ignorant men were participating. The secretary had Juggled figures for Tom Wil son's club, and made It appear that games won had actually been lort. We read these charges In the newspapers and received some or ally. Knowing that they were, with out foundation, we tried to believe 'that they were not prompted by malice.

We thought of the days when Cum Posey could spend more money in one night for a big time than the average man could earn in a month. We considered the change in times, money shortage, unemployment, and destitute families on all sides. We mustered up an abundance of charity and decided that the affected conditions had forced him to draw heavily on his financial reserve and that he was somewhat upset mentally because he could not relieve the suf ferlng peoples as a man of his wls dom, wealth and philanthropy should. It required some clever. difficult acrobatic performances of the mental functions to deduct In this way.

But we got to this point and held fast. In January, 1934, the first meeting of the Negro National Association was scheduled to meet in Pittsburgh. This writer sent out notices and omitted all members who were expelled last year. There was no personal reason for doing thif. Mrafaey had indicated by his own statements that he had no regrets for raiding the Detroit Stars or canceling with Chicago without proper notice.

Hla reaction to the expulsion voted unanimously was to label all men (except Tom Wilson) with every adjective permitted In print This being the case, and baclefllea of The Courier will substantiate the statement, we had no Idea that Mr. Posey ever wanted to be connected with the league. To our" surprise, he Interviewed the chairman and inquired about the plans for this year. Mind you, he was not Invited, but evidently resented the fact that an attempt would be made to carry on without his membership. This change of front caused the writer to communicate with other club owners.

They were asked to decide on whether he should be Invited or not The replies signified a willingness to give Posey another trial, and on March 10th he was Invited to the meeting In Philadelphia. This writer believes that the owren made a mistake at that meeting by not electing Posey to the chairmanship or appointing him as commissioner. Everybody has been "picking" on the Homesteader ever since. First It was the decision which awarded Vie Harris and Morney to Crawfords. Then came the case of Vincent Crawfords would not train this player and turn him over to Mr: Posey at their own expense.

Cleveland notified the manager of Homestead Grays on April 14 that the Stadium could not be secured for May 13, and requested the game to be played Ia Pittsburgh. Posey said tfc Cleveland owners could get the Park, because, some "white fellow" said they, could. Ia the dispute, the series was called off and Cleveland" booked fa New Orleans. Four days before the starting date of the series Mr. Posey decided to ego through with it la PAGE SEVEN SECOND SECmON IbljL earn GOING GREAT I IIIIIT Hill II H1M MATLOCK Former Gray pitcher, now with the Crawfords, who 1 going great this season.

Pittsburgh. The Cleveland owners were contacted and agreed, in the belief that they could cancel in New Orleans. But this could not be done, and on May 11 all parties concerned learned definitely that Cleveland would not be on hand. Posey states a number of facts in his "Pointed Paragraphs" last week but he withholds the causes behind them. He forgets that he was expelled from membership in the league last year, and that negotiations with Vio Harris and Morney were carried on before he was reinstated.

In the case of Brooks and Vincent he failed to exercise his option, because the award provided that Cleveland and Crawfords be reimbursed for train ing expanses and loans to these players. About the best way to sum up the "songs and prayers" of Cum Posey Ls that he simply cannot get bis status fixed. He still believes that he Is playing old time politics In Homestead, where an wrongs are right when Posey ls Involved. He believes that his every claim should be honored, his views accepted without modification, his decisions final. His word ls the first and last on baseball and everybody connect ed with he pastime.

He forgets that he ls Just an as sociate member of the Negro Na tional League. He forgets, also. that In the regular schedule he secured booking of his own choice. He forgets that where all other things are equal in a dispute, he is not entitled to the same con sideration a a full member. These and other things, however, are not hard for Mr.

Posey to forget His alert and resourceful mind makes no record or impression of wrongs which he commits or conditions in which his status is not superior and supreme.
