CHESTER, PENNA — Noble William W. "Bill" Cash, Sr., the Imperial Deputy of the Oasis of Minaret Temple 174, Prince Hall Shriners in Chester, Penna., was recently inducted into the Negro Baseball Hall of Fame in a most impressive induction ceremony held in Ashland, Ky. At the time Cash played baseball in the Negro National League, the only thing white was the baseball with which they played.

CASH'S baseball career started in 1939 with the Camden, N.J. Giants. He played in several Latin American countries, the Mexico Pacific Coast League, in Canada, managed a baseball team in the Dominican Republic, played with the Chicago White Sox, turned down several lucrative offers from the New York Giants and the Cincinatti [[Cincinnati]], Ohio Reds and then retired after 17 years and playing and traveling all over the world.

Cash was at one time in his career considered to be one of the best baseball catchers in the professional leagues, regardless of race. In the Imperial Council he is still doing an outstanding job. He is known to many nobles and daughters throughout the imperial domain as one of the best of his kind. The Desert Beacon salutes this great baseball catcher. May he live to enjoy many more days of resting on past laurals [[laurels]].
