He was signed to the Chicago American Giants in 1950 by Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe with the support of the team’s owner, Dr. J.B. Martin, who was concerned about black players joining Major League teams. The other five young white players were Lou Chirban, Al Dubetts, Frank Dyall and Stanley Miarka.
