[from June Rankin's column] The general impression is that Crothers was about right when he refused to have his picture taken in a group with Higgins, the “Coon.” This thing of ringing niggers into white clubs and compelling the players to associate with them is beyond common decency, and Crothers deserves great credit for showing his manhood. If Syracuse wants a colored club there are plenty of niggers to be had, but this thing of having their teams made up of half black and half white, like many of the International League clubs is really disgusting and, if anything, degrading.
