Many Good Negro Players Could Enter Major Leagues
Kansas City July 30. J L Wilkinson co owner of the Monarchs believes there are at least 25 Negro players of major league caliber. William E Benswanger proposes tryouts for Negro players as Landis had previously said no ruling against Negroes in organized baseball. Satchel Paige could be signed if offered a large sum. Paige has drawn as high as 2000 for a single game. Josh Gibson, the Negro Babe Ruth, would attract major interest with a .440 lifetime batting average and exceptional speed.
