Contents Early innings. The crucible of white hot competition ; Twilight ere the noon ; The conspiracy of silence ; Oh, they were are pair! ; It won't work out! -- Runs, hits, and errors. If they come here, they can't play ; Il a gagné ses épaulettes ; They don't want me? ; The most costly trial ever given a player ; A lone Negro in the game -- Extra innings. Remember, all out boys can't be a Robinson ; A Paul Bunyan in Technicolor ; The only thing I wanted to do was hit the major leagues ; The unwritten law of the South ; With all deliberate speed ; They've just got to forget they're Black ; Baseball has done it.
