BASEBALL RF.8T NEW YORK — It's nn old ndagf I •naong %’Pteran pnrls \erilprs on I colored papers that the Negro fan I knows best, two major spor’s: box- I Ing and baseball. In recent years. I baseball is forging tr the front a.« I favorite spectarle for the colored l8port.i follower, but strange as h ■may seem, football is still tagging comparison with boxing and Va&cball. Of course, many colored Bans get their kicks watching the b«5-s on the cinder paths, the ten nis stars, the aolfers. and even ping pong player.c. but the«e sp- rls are definitely in the minor class in general interest. A study of sports page? in the colored press over the year.s reveaLs that basehall and boxing have en joyed the emphasis .nnd still r.c- cupy the column one position as more fans join the lists of those who want to know who knocked out who and is Satchel Paige greater than Bobby Feller. I got to wonder why football wasn't further up on the list as a major interest of the colored fan Among white fans, football is fops along with boxing, basehall, golf, basketball. The colored sports fans has also a keen interest ki horse racing, and countless thousands play the nags with an ideal to profit However, regarding football in relation lo the colored fan. it might he explain ed this wav: Football Is prim.orily a college sport Save for the institutions at Oxford.
