Douglas organized the Spartan Braves o f Brooklyn, which became the New York Renaissance (the Rens) in 1923. Douglass talent and business sense enabled the team to survivi until the late 1940s. The players earned $800 to $1,000 per montl and traveled annually in the spring through the South to play Black college teams. On March 30, 1932, the Rens won their first world professional championship against an all- white squad, the Original Celtics, beating them 37-34. In a rematch on April 3, the Rens prevailed again, 30-23. The New York Renaissance was inducted into the Professional Basketball Hall o f Fame in 1963. The Harlem Globetrotters - In 1927 Black basketball was enhanced by the organization o f the Harlem Globetrotters team. By 1940 the Globetrotters were considered better than the Rens, but both teams were handicappet by the lack o f a Black league. After the integration o f the National Basketball Association in the 1960s, the Globetrotters lost their monopoly on the best Black players, and they switched to playing as an entertainment team using comical routines and fancy ball handling.

After two days o f unpacking in quiet and getting treated like a superstar in public, he’s looking forward to that moment. Only then will he start feeling really at home with his hometown team. what he can do out there,” shortstop Barry Larkin said. “I’ve seen the (television) highlights, I’ve seen the All-Star games, but I haven’t had a chance to play with him on an everyday basis. I’m looking forward to that. Finding out about Griffey as an outfielder is something yet to come. The Reds already have a taste of what he does as a superstar.
