Single page from President John Joy on "The Negro Major American and National League Base Ball Teams, Inc." letterhead is to a NYC sportswriter. Content is spectacular. "aNegro baseball must be properly organized, if it is to surviveaWe know some of our Negro players are being hired by the white majors, that is fine, if they can get these players at their prices or nothing, we may say, since they did not have to pay but a small price for these play-ersa" Page and closing signature are very strong. A piece of exceptional his-torical importance.
