“I’m Far From Being Through,”
Elgin Baylor Tells His Critics
LIVING MPORTS
By Charles J. Livingston
ARE RACIAL BIAS AND
JEOLOUBY BEHIND THE DRIVE
TO SCUTTLE BOXING?
BY CHARLES J. LIVINGSTON
CHICAGO jANP) By now
reams of newsprint have been de
voted to the highlights, sidelights
and so-called behind-the-scene an
gles of Cassius Clay’s great upset
victory over Sonny Liston, so I
won’t belabor that specific subject
here.
But I am prepared to defend
boxing against those who have
singled It out for abolition.
Jnst what are the real motives
behind the ban-boxing drive,
anyway* And why Is there such
a belated clamor by sports
writers for the destrnction at
fist fighting?
Truly, when cm# examines the
situation closely there is reason to
suspect that racial bias and jealous
might well be behind the drive to
kill boxing. But Why? Negroes are
prominent in other sports tfiat are
not yet being recommended for the
slaughter house.
The answer is the case of boxing
might be found in dollars and
cents. Negro fighters perhaps domi
nate the sport too tightly and earn
too much dough from it to suit the
self-righteous sportswriters of the
daily press, whose vnemories are
short on the days when abuses were
even more rampant under white
ehamipions and promoters. They
seem to forget how promoter Mike
Jacobs and his Twentieth Century
Be dng Club used to exploit the
game in general, and Negro boxers,
in particular, through fight-fisted
contracts. And they forget the way
the white champions once manipu
lated their titles to keep them out
of reach of colored fighters. Sugar
Ray Robinson is a prime example.
Ray was recognized for several
years as "The Uncrowned Welther
weight Champion" while champ
side of Durham for the Eastern Dis
trict Crown.
Both finalists. Hillside and Dar
den. will participate in the State
Tournament at Greensboro this
week.

l "Mr

him a shot at the title.
Harry Wills is another case in
point. Dempsey managed to evade
him throughout the Manassa Maul
er’s reign as champion, while Jack
and his wily manager pulled one
shenanigan after another. Today,
Kearns’ oily tactics are regarded as
jokes by the same sportswriters
who sniff at everything in the
game.
Now everybody is up in arms a
gainst the return-bout clause in
title fight contracts, but I recall
that Tony and Graziano fought a
three-bout marathan without so
much as a whisper of protest from
the daily press. In all these in
stances few if any voices were
heard sounding the death knell for
boxing.
Yet:shortly after the Clay-Liston
bout, the Chicago Sun-Times came
out with an editorial calling for the
abolition of boxing as a corrupt
sport beyoond salvation.

LOS ANGELES (ANP) - Los
Angeles Lakers star Elgin Baylor
last week reprimanded some of
his basketball critics for suggesting
that he is “finished." He said he is
far from being finished and predict
ed that he will overcome a handi
capping knee ailment and - return
to top playing form.
“A let of people have my
career finished." Baylor said,
“but I Intend to keep on play
ing, this year and next. I’ve got
a lot of basketball left In me.”
Baylor is suffering from calcium
deposits in his legs and his playing
and the Lakers fortunes are suf
fering as a result. Defending cham
pions in the Western Divisions of
the National Basketiball Associa
tion, the Lakers are currently in
third place in the league, six garpo*
behind the pace-setting San Fran
cisco Warriors.
Baylor, who has brought hi,
weight down from 230 pound*
to 210 on the advice of the tram
physician to ease the strain on
his legs, was replying to sports
critics who have speculated that
his career might be behind him.
In spite of his physical hand t.;,
Baylor still presses himself on i e
court. “Right now. while we re ! -
ing to make the playofls. I ca
afford to be out of the lineup,'"
he remarked.
