ON THE LAM ... with Jim Lamhafer
One of the most disconcerting and disgraceful events in a long time hit the American sports pages this week.
Because of their color, Joe Louis and two other Negro amateur golfers were barred from the San Diego Open tournament, scheduled to start tomorrow.
The ruling was enforced by the PGA and its president, Horton Smith.
Louis stated that it was the first time ever encountered racial discrimination in sports.
The one-time Brown Bomber can be relied upon by Jim Croninis has been singularly rare in sports for the past few years.
Professional football banned the color line almost from the outset. The collegiate pigskin ranks tolerate it only in the Smith and Nassau Leagues at a few schools elsewhere.
On this past New Year's Day a colored man was sent the first time allowed to play against a White college in Texas, when halfback James Anderson led College of Pacific against Texas Tech in El Paso's Star Bowl game.
Similar encouraging trends are to be found in present-day collegiate basketball and other rahrah level sports. Ed Tucker, high-scoring forward, is the first colored athlete in the history of Stanford university.
Louis one of the great athletes of all time, refused to put the blocks to a fistic hopeful's climb to the top because, of his color.
Only such ill-advised phrases as "the new White bone," have established any dividing line in Fistiana.
Man has come a long way in the past few short decades in overcoming the superstition and bigotry concocted in the Dark Ages of Ignorance, nurtured through the Victorian Era, and allowed to creep insidiously into the modern world.
It was fitting that the right of the colored man to belong in professional baseball should be established the year following a war in which men fought side by side for a common cause, without stopping to notice the color of each other's complexion.
Golf has been the worst offender of all sports in permitting wicked racial discrimination. There have been numerous other incidents in the past few years of Negro golfers being banned from tournaments. The "Caucasian" rule is still there in the PGA by-laws, and its members have in almost every case foolishly chosen to enforce it rather than ignore it.
So the fault must fundamentally lie not with the rule itself, a product of the sports world.
Anaheim Bees Power Over Tribe 45-36; Face Loop Leaders Friday
Led by George Bishop's and Bob Stewart's 12 points each, the Anaheim Bee cage team jumped all over the Warriors from Fullerton, 45-36, on the Indian reservation yesterday afternoon to remain in conjunction for the loop crown, although they will meet undefeated Newport Friday on the local hardwood for the crucial contest of the year.
Coach Bill Hunstock started time allowed to play against a White college in Texas, when halfback T.J. Hamm led College of Pacific against Texas Tech in El Paso's Sun Belt class.
Similar encouraging trends are to be found in present-day collegiate basketball and other rahrah level sports. Ed Tucker, high-scoring forward, is the first colored athlete in the history of Stanford university.
Within the past two years, Negro women have been allowed to play in major amateur women's tennis tourneys for the first time.
Of course, this senseless bugaboo was done away with in professional baseball in 1946, when Jackie Robinson, with the firm helping hand of the wise and powerful Branch Rickey, established a precedent.
Contrary to popular belief, Robinson was not the first Negro in professional baseball. More than 35 years ago, the late John McGraw signed several colored boys for his New York Giants, and attempted to palm them off to the rest of the league as "Cuban imports."
Soon, however, he found it wise to release them. Baseball and the men who played it weren't mature in their thinking yet.
Boxing, the sport which made there have been numerous other incidents in the past few years of Negro golfers being banned from tournaments. The "Caucasian" rule is still there in the PGA by-laws, and its members have in almost every case foolishly chosen to enforce it rather than ignore it.
So the fault must fundamentally lie not with the rule itself, a product of the sports world of 20 or 30 years ago, but with the present-day golfers, from Horton Smith on down, who not only prevent its revocation, but permit its enforcement. Golf now is where baseball was at the time of John McGraw—unprogressive and backward.
It's time for golf, no longer the game of only the privileged classes, to catch up and get in step with the rest of sportsdom:
We'd like to see the Professional Golfers of America figuratively swing their clubs for something besides straight 275-gard drives down the fairway. We'd like to see them standing up and taking them cuts for true straight democracy and equal opportunity in their sport.
If they don't, they're betraying the confidence a whole nation-of-sports lovers have placed in them.

Coach Bill Hunstock started his reserves for the second straight contest and it almost backfired on him as the host team piled up a 5-1 lead and led at the end of the first period, 9-6.
However, the first unit got rolling in the second period to take a half-time lead 20-11 to give him a close hard battle for control of the glass backboards which were the first the locals had used this year.
Anaheim attempted 59 shots at the basket and made 20 of them for a percentage mark of 33.9 while the Brayes attempted 68 shots and made 15 for a mark of 22.1. Anaheim did very poorly at the free throw line, attempting 16 and making five for a mark of 27.8.

Frank Sedgman Hands USLTA More Problems
SYDNEY, Australia (UP)—Both Captain Harry Hopman and Davis Cup star Frank Sedgman gave the United States Lawn Tennis association a couple of new problems today.
Sedgman, who led the Aussies to a 3-2 defense of their Davis Cup, confirmed that he is unlikely to defend his American championship.
Hopman, a Melbourne Herald sports writer, wrote that he didn't think any of the world's first ten amateur players abided strictly by the rules of the International Lawn Tennis federation.
In an interview with George Crawford of the Sydney Daily Telegraph, Sedgman said:
"I couldn't possibly consider going to America on a private tour on the terms the United States Lawn Tennis association has given members of recent Australian teams.
"Last year they gave us only five dollars daily for expenses. You find yourself out of pocket trying to live in America on that sort of money. Anyway, the U.S.L.T.A. has not yet given me an official invitation.
"When I compete at Wimbledon, I will have had 14 months of continuous serious tennis. I would prefer to return to Australia for a couple of months of good rest before I start to rebuild myself to help Australia retain the Davis Cup."

Joe Louis Enters San Diego Open While Other Negro Is Booted Out
SAN DIEGO (UP) — Former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis was the winner today in his fight to gain Professional Golf Association approval to play in the San Diego Open tournament tomorrow.
Louis claimed it made him the first Negro amateur or professional, to gain such approval.
The decision to accept his entry as an invited amateur was announced last night by Horton Smith, PGA president.
Louis was paired with Smith and another PGA national committeeman, Leland Gibson of Kansas City, as a starting threesome.
Smith expressed pleasure at this arrangement;
Smith also announced that a PGA ban would stand against another Negro, Los Angeles professional Bill Spiller.
He said Spiller lacked PGA approval as a professional and also was subject to a long-standing tradition based on the PGA by-law that all members must be white.
Louis declared the by-law did not prevent Spiller being named an approved player by the PGA and insisted the ban was "just be cause he is colored."
The former ring champion he would play, even though he was ruled out, but he would continue his fight for equal rights for Negroes.
He said it was the last in which racial prejudice exists and that the PGA rules the major reason.
"This is only the first time he declared.
Louis said he had against Smith and that we called him 'another Hitler' in the week "it was not personally but the things he for."
The former champion had received congratulations grams on his fight from suites as Jackie Robinson, first gro player in white professional baseball, and movie actor A Menjou.
Smith said he expected that PGA annual meeting next ber would take some action clarify the situation and establish a uniform code other golf organizations approve of players.

Indians Scalp Colonists in Overtime Period, 45-44; Sailors Here Friday
Coming from behind in the closing minutes of yesterday's Sunset League basketball game played at Fullerton, Anaheim forced the game into an overtime period where they lost to the Indians, 45-44, for a very tough setback, what with powerful, undefeated Newport slated to meet Anaheim Friday night.
In other loop contests played yesterday the Sailors continued their race toward the loop title with a very impressive 38-29 victory over winless Santa Ana in the Saints gym. The Tar attack was so overwhelming that at half time the score was 25-5. Huntington Beach rolled over the Panthers from Orange, 58-43, to continue undefeated this season — their 12th straight.
Statistically, Anaheim lost their game with the Braves at the free throw line—making a mere eight out of 20 attempts for a very poor percentage mark of 40 while the host team attempted 15 and made good on 11 of them for a percentage mark of 73.3.
From the floor, Anaheim had the upper hand, in statistics, that is. The Colonists attempted 60 shots and made 19 of them for a percentage of 31.7 which is still below par. The Warriors attempt lerton dunked one in, followed by Conklin's running two-foot shot; however Dave Moody scored two quick field goals with five minutes left in the game.
Reserve forward Bill Gunn scored from the floor and with Owens scoring from the free throw line to make it 44-38, the game took on the color of a Fullerton upset.
Moody scored another field goal, followed by Johnny Steinborn's eight foot jump shot that made the score 44-42 with just three minutes left in the game.
For the next two minutes there was no scoring, but lots of action from the field of play as well as from the fans in the stands. Fullerton could sense victory, but they would have to wait a few minutes longer as Ira Webber, who had only attempted four shots at the basket all afternoon, shot with only 58 seconds left from 20 feet away and it dropped in to tie up the game and force it into overtime.
Fullerton controlled the ball almost the entire overtime with Anaheim trying desperately to get their hands on the ball. Once, their over eagerness cost them a foul by Leonard Kolb and Seals scored from the grout's line for an Indian victory.
It was the third overtime period for the locals this season and their third defeat. It was their second straight defeat of the year, and in league competition yet.

because he is colored."
The former ring champion said he would play, even though Spiller was ruled out, but that he would continue his fight to gain equal rights for Negroes in golf.
He said it was the last sport in which racial prejudice now exists and that the PGA rule was the major reason.
"This is only the first round," he declared.
Louis said he had nothing against Smith and that when he called him 'another Hitler' earlier in the week "it was not him personally but the things he stood for."
The former champion said he had received congratulatory telegrams on his fight from such figures as Jackie Robinson, first Nero player in white professional baseball, and movie actor Adolphe Menjou.
Smith said he expected that the GA annual meeting next November would take some action to clarify the situation and possibly establish a uniform code with other golf organizations on the approval of players.
He insisted PGA rules were not intended to "be difficult for any one but only to protect the game."
From the floor, Anaheim had the upper hand, in statistics, that is. The Colonists attempted 60 shots and made 19 of them for a percentage of 31.7 which is still below par. The Warriors attempted 59 and made good on 17 of them for a percentage mark of 28.8.
However, aside from the poor free throws attempts of the locals, the game was won for Fullerton and lost for Anaheim from the very start due to the outstanding rebounding of the Indians.
Led by Elvin Boyd, Larry Kraemer and Roch Conklin, ex-Anaheim athlete of last year, the Redskins controlled both boards or rather both glasses and that was the old game.
At the end of the first period, Fullerton led the locals by a mere point, 13-12, but with Harold Rees, Dean Philpott and Joe Clark scoring the Colonists overtook the hosters for a lead of 23-18 at the intermission.
In the third period guard Paul Seals and forward Leon Owens of Fullerton both scored freely to return the lead to Fullerton. The third period was the best for Anaheim, in their scoring output, but it still was far below the home team's output where they made a percentage mark of 41.2.
Going into the final period the score was 37-34, Fullerton out in front. Charles Ledbetter of Fultheir hands on the ball. Once their over eagerness cost them a foul by Leonard Kolb and Seals scored from the grids line for an Indian victory.
It was the third overtime period for the locals this season and their third defeat. It was their second straight defeat of the year, and in league competition yet.
