Frick Says Strike Talk Over Negro Player Issue Likely Closed
National League President Ford Frick stated he believed a proposed strike by St. Louis Cardinals players over Jackie Robinson’s presence on the Brooklyn Dodgers was a closed affair. He noted Breadon acted alone to resolve the matter and avoided detailing how the issue arose. The Dodgers fell 8-7 as Andy Pafko hit a third season homer to cap a late rally. Brecheen starred as the Cardinals beat the Dodgers 5-1 in the first night game at Ebbets Field. The Red Sox moved within a half game of first with a 3-0 win over the White Sox, while Detroit’s hold on the league lead tightened. The Athletics beat the Browns 5-3, dropping St. Louis into AL cellar. Majeskie drove in two for Phil Marchildan, who earned his second win. Trinkle notched his third straight as the Giants beat the Reds 7-4 at the Polo Grounds. Cold weather affected the Yankees, Indians, Senators, and Tigers.
