It was in 1947 that Robin son, now retired, became the first of his race ever to play with a major league team when the old Brooklyn Dodg ers called him up from the minors. He subsequently be came , one of the . National League's finest players. That same year, Cleveland of the American League sum moned Larry Doby. who soon became a regular for the In dians. Every Other Team Since then every 'other team in the major leagues has had a Negro on their roster at one time or another - ex cept the Boston. Red Sox - who maintained they would call a Negro player when they developed one of major league caliber in their farm system. Tuesday1 night, . Pumpsie Green became that man when he was sent in as a pinch run ner in the eighth inning of Boston's 2-1 loss to the Chi cago White Sox. .

'' ' First of His Race Green chalked up another Red Sox first at spring train ing in Scottsdale, Ariz., when he became the first of his race ever to don a Boston uni form. But it was this and his trip back to Minneapolis after a fair spring showing that set off a controversy in Boston. That and the segregated hous ing allegedly ' provided for him by the Sox in Scottsdale. The Boston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple (NAACP) charged the Red Sox with discrimination and urged the Massachusetts Com mission against Discrimina tion to censure the club. The state commission held a hearing and Red Sox General Manager Stanley R. Bucky Harris said it had never been the club's policy to deny chance to a Negro ballplayer, i And, said Harris, the Red Sox would call Green up from the minors if his play war ranted it and the team needed him. The Red Sox subsequent ly were cleared of the dis crimination charges.
