BEATING THE GUN
By Alvin Moses
LET’S TALK ABOUT SHORTSTOPS
NEW YORK, (ANP)—JACKIE ROBINSON, most publi
cized ballplayer in the land, has gone off to Caracas, Ven
ezuela, to play on all-star Negro team there.
~ Being a shortstop, his prowess at that position hecalls
to my mind the names of other colored stars who in their
day rated with the best in American diamond history.
We know of four who rated high among white and colored
players, namely Bustamente (who died in fcis prime), John
Henry Lloyd, Chacon and Dick Lundy. It is of Dick Lundy
whom we elect to talk at this time.
What a name to conjure with in baseball annals was
that of Lundy, as great a manager and developer of players
-as he was performer between second and third base. The
son of Richard and Millie Lundy, he was born on July 10,
1898, at Jacksonville, Fla. His early school days were spent
at Florida Baptist academy (now Florida Normal-Industrial
institute) St. Augustine, and little is known of his baseball
playing there.
It was at Cookman institute (Mary McLeod Bethune’s
school) back in 1914 that Lundy broke into baseball as a
third baseman.

BOWED TO FEW MANAGERS
He was always successful as a baseball club manager.
In 1922 he was promoted to that role with the Priginal
Bacharachs playing out of Wilmington, D ;1., where he
stayed for a season with good results. The following year
he was back in Atlantic City as a player again under Pop
Lloyd.
Two years later he was given a free hand with this
club remaining as manager until 1928. During those years
Lundy won two pennants in the Eastern Colored league
and figured in two “ world’s colored championship” series
against the Chicago American Giants. In 1929 Lundy was
traded to the Baltimore Black Sox (then managed by the
late Frank Warfield) for Ben Taylor, Mack Eggleston and
cash. I believe that the gret Oliver (razor-tongue) Marcelle
figured in this deal. The Sox under Warfield’s handling
and Lundy’s great playing won the league pennants in
1930-1931.
Appointed manager of the Baltimore Sox in 1932,
Lundy was leading the circuit at the time the league
was disbanded. Ed Bolden, who had deserted baseball for
other interests, decided to return in 1933 and sent for Lundy
to organize the Philadelphit Stars. This Pennsylvania club
under the astute handling of this great man whipped
every team in the east failing to lose a series to any
opponent. This record remains as one of the finest for a first
year organization in colored baseball annals.
In 1934 Lundy was selected to play short as well as
manage the “ Eastern” squad in the classic against the
“ West” at Chicago, the easterners winning by a 1-0 score.
That same season Lundy managed and sparkplugged the
Newark Dodgers, owned by Charles H. Tyler. The club
had such players as Danridge, Lundy, Starks, Hayes, Bailey,
Owens, Clark, Byes, Johnson, Evans, Burbage, Quintana,
Britt, Arnold, Merrit and McCoy. That team was the run-
ningist outfit I can remember. Unknown at the start of the
season, Lundy won series from the powerful Pittsburgh
Crawfords, Chicago Giants, Cleveland and Nashville. These
were Lundy’s top years as player and manager.
My hat is off to scholarly Jackie Robinson and the best
that I can wish for him is the hope that he will develop
into S0'/o of the shortstop Dick Lundy was. If he should do
so you can bet that he’ll go from Montreal to the big

In recommending to the mayor

committee also submitted a six-

DISPLAYED NATURAL APTITUDE EARLY
One of his former teammates now residing at Raritan,
N. J., told me that Lundy displayed natural talents for the
game in which he became an outstanding star, even at this
early stage of his career. Came the end of the 1915 school
season and “Dick” as he was fondly called joined up with
the Jacksonville Giants. It was soon discovered that Lundy
could fill in acceptably a! ma»y positions, namely catcher,
third, short, and even the outfield. The following season
saw the 18 year old fielding sensation with the crack Bach-
arach Giants of Atlantic City.
Came America’s entry into World War I and Lundy
donned the uniform of Ed Bolden’s Hillsdale^ where Dick
remained until 1918. John Connors, cabaret owner and
one of the strongest men physically who ever lived in Har
lem, headed a combine who formed the New York Backrach
Giants.
Stars like Dick (Cannonball) Redding, Yank, Treadwell,
Rojo, Chanley White, Deas, Cummings and Handy were
rounded up as a neucleus. Lundy was hcosen to play short
stop in this great company. This club was positively the
best colored baseball attraction in the east. Like big league
white clubs, they lived the life of Riley. Luxurious, first-
class Pullman cars were secured for them. Believe it or not,
they had five sets of uniforms like big leaguers did. The
ranking white baseball parks welcomed them with open
arms, this team playing against major league ball clubs at j
Forbes field, Ebbetts field and Connie Mack’s Shibe park
stadium.
From 1922, the last season Lundy played with the Bach- j
arachs, to and including the 1933 season, Dick Lundy was
the equal of any white or colored shortstop who eevr
played the game, I thought. The modern counterpart of
Dick was Joe Cronin, when the Boston Red-Sox mentor
was in his prime. Lundy moved to right or left with
equal felicity. His arm might well be likened to a rubber
bullwhip, such snap and power it contained. His move
ments were the very essence of grace and muscle coordin
ation. No man ever possessed a greater urge to win than
did gentlemanly Dick Lundy. At the outset a right-handed
hitter, the studious Lundy practiced daily until he became
one of the game’s most respected left-handed swatters.
