COLOR LINE IN BASEBALL

Why? The Past Chief Companions'
Association of Oakland No. 3. What

The color line, drawn so tightly
around major league baseball, has
barred from major leagues field one
of the greatest pitchers the game has
ever produced. He is John Donald-
son, pitching semi-pro ball in Kan-
sas City. He recently pitched 30 in-
nings without allowing a hit or run—
a record without a parallel. "If Don-
aldson were a white man, or if the
unwritten law of baseball didn't bar
negroes from the major leagues, I
would give $50,000 for him, and think
I was getting a bargain," said John
McGraw of the Giants, after seeing
Donaldson pitch several games in
Cuba. Donaldson, just before estab-
lishing his record of 30 innings with-
out being hit, struck out 25 men in a
12-inning game—an average of bet-
ter than two strikeouts per inning.
Donaldson just now is twirling for
the All-Nationals, a Kansas City team
composed ot players of all nations
and an outfit that baseball sharps
claim is string enough to give any
major league club a nip-and-tuck
battle.

QUARTERS.
The committee for entertaining the
visitors, with headquarters elaborately
fitted up in Suite 96, Bacon Block, blows
up and the secretary resigns, takes away
the paraphernalir and decorations. Col.
Dumar Jones, ex-District Grand Secre-
tary, Past Grand Master and Most
Venerable Patriarch resigns from the
committee.; Attorney George Ingraham,
ex-District Grand Master, chairman of
the committee, threatens to quit work.
It ail happened suddenly and over the
appointment of one of Coi. Jones'
daughters as stenographer at the head-
quarters. Mrs. Capt. Shorey, District
Grand Master Most Noble Governor of
the Household of Ruttt, it is said, de-
sired to have her little daughter placed
as stenographer in the headquarters.
Now little Miss Shorey graduated re-
cently with a fast record and with high
honors, being one of the fastest sten-
ographers in her class, and Mrs. Capt.
Shorey most noteworthy desired to see
her girl placed in this position, not only
for the money but for the honor as well,
but it is said that Chairman Ingraham
had already appointed Miss Jones, and
then the war began and threatenings are
heard all through the Household of
Ruth clammering for a juvenile girl as
stenographer, one that belongs to us, as
some put it, one that belongs to the race
and knows it and associates with ne-
groes, others echoed. Loud and plaintive
were these responses until they at last
were hurled right square in the face of
Brother Jones, who claims to be a Ne-
gro and a dear lover of his race and
proud of it.
