The first two issues of this short-lived periodical which billed itself as "The Great New Negro Sports Magazine."

The cover of the first issue featured Larry Doby, and that of the second, Monte Irvin. There are such articles as "Will There Ever be a Big-League Negro Manager" by Milton Gross; "The Lowdown on How I Cracked Jim Crow Golf" by Joe Louis; "My Feud with Leo: Jackie Tells What He Really Thinks of 'The Lip'"; and the provocative "Mat Glamor Girls: Bronze Wrestling Girls are Terrific."
