DETECTIVE} GUARD
AGAINST THREAT TO
JACKIE ROBINSON
. ■ ■ • —it*
CINCINNATI, May 21 —IP— A
squad of detectives carefully eyed
the near-capacity crowd at Croslay
j Field Sunday while a casual-ap
' pearing Jackie Robinson played
standout ball for the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
The detectives were there because
Robinson’s life had been threatened.
But there were no incidents against
the Negro athlete.
Robinson knew about the threats
on his life before he entered the
doubleheader with the Cincinnati
Reds. But you could never tell it
from his actions. Jackie hammered
in four runs in that first game, in
cluding his sixth homer.
There were at least three menac
ing letters mailed in Cincinnati
about a week ago — one to the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, one to the police
department and one to the Cincin
nati Reds ball club.
Managing Editor Everett Boyd
reported that the letter the Enquir
er received warned that the senders
I were going to kill Robinson with
an air rifle.

"What game are you playing?”
