Portland. Oregon, July 20 , 1929
T o the Editor:
Permit me to rati your attention
to an article in S aturday’s Oregon
ian, page 13 under the caption,
" F O R E ! M A Y B E M O R E " , by Bun­
ker Green
O n the face of it, its
a good article and maybe I should
not say what 1 ant about to say
Concerning it.
However, a few of
its paragraphs incite hy curiosity
and put ‘me on the inquiry
Since dissatisfaction with the "han­
dicap limitation” serins to have been
the only contention. I am at a loss
to account for the following p a ra ­
graphs :
"Some talk was heard around the
Multnomah clubhouse during the
week about the adviaihlity of drawing
the color line in the future tourneys,
hut none of it was put out hy offi­
cial»". then: "They (meaning colored
aspirants) will probably never get
a chance to win a m ajor prize in
either of these sports, as golf and
tennis are hedged about hy social
restrictions”, and: " W e have never
had a controversy over admission of
colorrd entrants in golf or tennis
competitions”.
Exactly 12 inches were devoted to
the whole article.
Only 4 inches
said anything about the "handicap"
which was ohstensibly the reason
for the article, while 6 inches were
d e v o t e d to the color question.
T he first paragraph quoted I con
»true as a suggestion for the A sso­
ciation to confine the tournam ent to
juniors of private clubs so th at offi­
cials may be able to bar colored en
trants in the future. If the officials
said nothing about the question, why
bring it up? The second paragraph
would discourage colored aspirants
in the game and keep the “forgetful
of the white race ever mindful of
social restrictions.
And the third
paragraph I interpret as follows
since "we have never had a contro­
versy over admission of colorrd en­
trants", its just about high time we
had. and there’s no lietter time to
begin than now! Especially is this
true since young Crawford is so
nearly white and so nearly won, we
hail h ettrr lie on our guard. W hat
a calamity it would be had this
young Negro won!
As a m other of two colorrd lads
who are more or less athlcticly ac-
