NEGRO BALL IS FASTER
SAYS LLOYD LEWIS
Sports Editor, Chicago Daily News
Sees East VS.. West Classic

Lloyd Lewis, sports editor of the
Chicago Daily News, who graciously
consented to come out to witness the
East VS.. West classic Sunday and
compare the play of the two teams
with that of the two major league
teams, agreed that some of the players
could make the big league grade.
He feels sure that the time is not far
away when the big major leagues will
have to open its doors to the Negro
ball player" Just how soon that time
would come, he couldn't say.
In Mondays Daily News, Mr.. Lewis
commented on the style of play in
comparison with that of the National
and the American leagues. Says he:
HOW GOOD is NEGRO BASE
BALL? IT'S FASTER, FOR ONE
THING.
Twin-City herald., 1938-08-27

This column this week is taken from
the Chicago Defender. written by
Lloyd Lewis, sports editor of the Chi
cago Daily News, Americas fifth larg-
est publication. Mr.. Lewis points out
what the Negro ball players could do
if given chance. The late John Nc
Graw was strong advocate of Negro
ball players in the big leagues.
What we need is more writers thai
have the courage of men like Dan
Parker, Damon Runyon, George Bar
ton, Warren Brown, Lloyd Lewis, who
believe in fair play. The day is not
far when Negroes will be given a
chance to show what they can do.

Negro professional baseball, as illus
trated by two sets of all-stars in Co
miskey Park yesterday, is faster on the
bases than the major league ball now
being played in the American and Ma
tional circuits; it is almost as swift and
spectacular in the field; it lacks the
batting form of the white mans big
leagues; it has shortstop, Willie
Wells of Newark, who is as good as
dozen men in that position in the ma
jors today; it has pitchers who could
fill places in half the leading teams oi
the top white leagues.

matches which are played at Comiskey
Park between two Negro leagues, the

and the National, called the East, the

Afire with Speed

The game was afire with speed. The |
bases were run with swiftness and
daring absent from the white mans |
game for 20 years. Crafty runners
kept the pitchers worried, catchers
throwing hastily and infielders darting |
in and out to hold them to the bags. |
They took chances, ran out every bat
ted ball to the limit and gave the UNI
pires as hectic day as Comiskel
Park hasn't seen since its last world
series with the Giants, who under Johr
McGraw, played exactly that kind OF
baseball.
They stretched singles into doubles
they went down to first so fast that
no infield double play succeeded on
ground ball (and those infielders are
cats, too), and one of them, antelope
legged Robinson from the Memphi
Red Sox, made home run inside the
park. The aforementioned Wells
dragged and beat out as canny bunt
as Comiskey Park ever saw. School
boy" Taylor, the 23-year-old pitcher
from the East's Pittsburgh Crawfords,
showed class that was only rivaled by
the crafty old Double DUTY" Rad
cliffe, who slow-balled four shutout in
nings to protect the VESTS one-run
lead
A welcome sight in big-league park
was the willingness of Negro outfield-
ers to throw out base runners and of
pitchers to whip bunts to second for
force plays. Such risks are almost
things of the past in the white mans
major circuits, particularly in the
American League, where hitting has
become the criterion IF worth for
eight positions on team.
Only in batting are the Negro pros
inferior Lack of scientific training is
apparent in their unsmoothness iii
welding a bat. TOO many of them
preserve the hall-nark of the amateur

''Showboating' with Glove

A trace of nonprofessionalism also
cropped out here and there yesterday
when fielders, took throws or line
drives with one hand when two would
have been safer. Strong, the tall, mag
nificently proportioned first baseman
from the Indianapolis A.B.C.'s insists
upon 'showboating' with his glove, a
trick of vainglory which he should for
get even if one of his hands is as large
as the average mans two. (He is a
sensational basketball player of win
tertimes.)
But in throwing and base-running
the Negro All-Stars will remind you
if you see them year hence in their
rubber" game, more of the game
when it was in its golden age, the day:
of McGraw and Tinker and Cobb and
Chance, than anything around the big

Post-season football hysteria will

Most every team that compiled

pitted against an opposing eleven

TEAM ENTRAINS
FOR n. Y, after
LONG WORKOUT
BY CHICK KENNY

The air-minded Redskins will
change their offensive tactics
Sunday afternoon when they
clash with the New York Giants
in the Polo Grounds for the cham
pionship Of the Eastern Division
and a chance to meet the Green
Bay Packers or the Detroit Lions
in the playoff for the worlds pro
fessional grid crown.
In fact, it is foregone conclu-
sion that the Redskin eleven is
mastering a ground attack to
sweep the Giants out of the Polo
Grounds. With the entire squad
in fine physical condition, the
washington team is concentrate
ing or moving the ball overland
instead of through the air. This
means that Andy Farkas, Make
Krause and Don Irwin will be
called upon for heavy duty as
shown by the fact that all five
new plays given the team by
Coach Ray Flaherty this week in
preparation for the Giants. are of
the ground order. Flaherty adj
mitted that not a single new pass
play has been turned over to the
team in the last three weeks.
GREAT DEFENSIVE LINE
Against the Giants in the East
ern playoff game last season in
the Polo Grounds, the Redskins
gained more yardage along the
ground than through the air.
Cliff Battles, alone, rolled up
something like 252 yards skipping
over the frozen gridiron. This
is the prime reason for the con-
centration on the running game.
Flaherty and members of the
Redskin forward wall are riled
over the statement made by Coach
Steve Owens, of the Giants, who
claims that Washington's line Isl
full of holes and is one of the
weakest in the league.
Mara likewise boasts that his
forward wall is the best, defen-
sively, in the circuit, and in this
respect the roly-poly Giant mentor
is correct. According to official
league statistics, the Giants are
tops defensively, not only in the
line, but in the backfield as we'll
especially against forward passing.
LEAVE FOR NEW YORK
The Redskins leave for New
York this afternoon on the Capital
Limited. They held long workout
this morning. Upon arriving in
New York, the players will go Ill
rectly to the Garden City Hotel,
on Long Island. Nearby is the
st. Paul's School athletic field,
where the team will work out each
day until Sunday.
During the last few years such
teams as Notre Dame, Pitt and
other major college elevens ap-
pearing in New York for games
have chosen this site for their
daily workouts.
Last year when the Redskins
moved to New York in prepare
ton for their game with the
Giants they were quartered at
the Westminster Country Club at
Rye, N. Y, with the. polo field
of this exclusive sports center
serving as a practice field.
Can the change in prepping
sites be an i'll omen?
It looks as though the Red
skins. Coach Ray erty,
George Marshall, ct al, aren't
superstitious, that's all.
