Young Robinson, a Harlem "hep-cat" just a half-inch under six feet tall, is neither little nor does he bear much resemblance to the world's heavyweight champion. But the way the skinny 139-pounder brushed off onetime Welterweight Champion Fritzie Zivic-steel-tough, ring-wise and seven pounds heavier-in a ten-round match at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden last week showed that another Negro was punching his way into ring history.

Now 15, a strapping five-foot-ten, 165-pounder with a definite talent for baseball, young Charles Comiskey has one ambition-to be a great first baseman like his grandfather. If he makes it, he will be the first player-president in the history of the big leagues...
