PAGE SIX STEWART AND GIBSON SOUTHEASTERN TPii© Gun I | BY ALVIN MOSES j 3PORTMANS LETTER “NEW YORK (ANP) THAI) STEVENS, who.is with TED WIL- j SON from one of Harlem’s best known business associations on j Lenox Ave., the Harlem palace, is an all-around fan. His letters o j this column have been read by thousands of readers the nation t over and his points on boxing, football, baseball, etc, qualify him as an excellent observer. Says Mr. Stevens on the recent signing of a star Hampton gnu see by* the New York Giants Football club: 1 I rejoice more when 1 heal' of an athlete from one ol the lesser known’ schools of the country being signed to play for an organization like the Giants, than it he had matriculated at Yale. Harvard or lowa universities. ■‘Naturally, 1 do refer to Negro institutions ot learning as in j tins latest case Too often these .schools are overlooked and tnanv ; great white and colored performers are lost in the shuffle just be j cause tie- fanfait of big college publicity is not set tn the line point , n is at the larger schools. SPORTS - THE LEVELEH "How right you have been when you write from time to time that spends ii> general nave opened avenues of escape trom vaiious inequalities and social injustices for our youngsters of today. Foot t.aU offers SIO,OOO salaries to kids who click like Buddy Young, j Kenny Washington, Tunnel, former lowa -.tar, and hundreds o* : brownskinned lads who ns further years were completely o»tiacized | in this sport. -Fritz Pol laid, Paul Robeson and other grid immortals received much less pay and were the spearhead lor the break of the color bar in pro football of two decades or more ago. Incidentally, Alvin, you've written about Dean Cromwell, Olympic coach, and his snub of Negro stars like Harrison Dillard. Will you reprint what you stated English-bom Mr. Abramson as writing in the American war periodical, “Salute”. Thank you so very much, Mr. Stevens, The Abramson remark war published again in another paper this past week in the “Con j tidentially Yours'’ column of Dan Burley, Amsterdam News. Hero j is what the 1948 Olympic couch said in 1836.-- "The Negro athlete ;s a ruination of track in America.' Salute ; magazine further quoted Cromwell as sighing a racial restriction j covenant back in 1941 when he resided in a select Los Angel :, j neighborhood. On that occasion he is alleged to have shot nut j like this: “It 1 went to Tokyo or some other place like that and it j was made plain to me that I wasn’t wanted m a certain neighbor- j hoed. I certainly wouldn’t try to force rny way in.” ’ JERSEY" ROY —TALKS BASEBALL DURING THE PAST 25 years, * likable, tair-skinned pocket- i billiard player ot much ability named -Jeisey Roy, has enjoyed con- i siderabie success against all types or opposition the country over, j Roy gets incensed ovet Negro baseball fans who are so quick to j concede that white major U ;:gue player. excel Negro players who are major leaguers in everything but color and opportunity down thru thi| years. In an intrusting and factual letter, Jersey Roy; says in part.: ‘“Considering ait of the advantages white major league baseball I players have over Negro players such a* training, discipline- fin j anciai security etc. how would you like to bet your money on a i contest like this. Go t acts 25 years and I think you'll agree with : me that the lineups 1 submit to readers of your national column would be hard t«- beat I have tried to stress ali points of the game j with batting being especially checked.

''Even though Buck Leonard could if-.ateh bat-, with Stale.. Dcfcy could not match bats with Hornsby Garcia ant! Boudreau : are evenly* matched. This point would naturally be disputed at Garcia has never had a real chance to show the public what a really great player afield and at bat that fie is. Dandridge matches lidding and batting ability with any tinrd baseman in baseball. "With all due respect t* Foxx, Josh Gibson, could out hit any ; catcher that ever lived anyway you take it—for distance or con sistency* Comparing Ruth and Paige no contest, it .- all Ruth. Li the' outfield DiMaggio and Jethroe are evenly matched with tin Yankee jolter getting more distance in his woodwork Jethroe, however, is a mure consistent batter in addition to being faster ol toot. Both have a bullet like throw, perfect in every essential pei i taming to outfield pidy. DIHIGO, SIMPLY A MARVEL “For rny money and 1 know for yours, too, Alvin, for we have discussed this at length. Martin Dihigo -was baseball s. greatest all around player with no lespect to color whatsoever. Well concede that Tect Williams ha-: it over Dihigo on hitting, bur on nothing else. Williams does not compare with tn> giant Cuban as a finished player by no stretch of the imagination or—on cold either In right field Cobb would be a better all-around piayvi thSn the classy Kimbro. ... “Now to get to the final summation ar.d comparisons. You 1! observe that I chose Babe Ruth instead of Lefty Grove, Bob Fellei j or Walter Johnson as twirler for the white stars. That was done in j erd*i to give the .squad all the power possible at Bat Ruth was a j superb pitcher as his record reveals. As for Batch Paige, he ha.-. : beaten decisively all the great pitchers you can name except Dizzy Dean. Feller, Hubbel, Newhouser, Lemon Gomez and Defy Grove to name a few. PAIGE. SWELL MONEY PITCHER “I doubt if any white professional gambler who has followed i baseball closely for the past score of. years would wages his money ! against Satchel Paige when he is right.
