This yearbook features an article titled "Jackie and Johnny" on Jackie Robinson's arrival in the previously all-white professional ranks--a landmark achievement which also spelled the doom of the Negro Leagues. Other articles feature Smokey Joe Williams, Leon Day, Cumberland Posey, and Biz Mackey, who have since earned their own places in the Hall of Fame.
