Final Questions of 1949
NEW YORK CAMP Question
and answer time, readers:
Dear AL Moses:
An Amsterdam News sports
writer recently flayed Joe Louis
saying among other things that
Joe Cheshul could have kayoed
the Brown Bomber. / saw that
match and felt just the opposite
to this columnist's views. On top
Of that Louis now stiffens Pat
Valentino in the same round Ez-
card Charles did with much heavi-
er boxing gloves. Do you still
think Louis will flirt with public
demand" for another title fling
Richard WEIGH, Boston, Mass.
(A) Yes.
(Q) Why do. people grow so
violent in their discussion of
athletes separated only by the pas
sage of the years. R.. H. Gliddings
Savannah, Ga.
(A) Because most Of us are
married to the "heroes of our day
and our boyhood". In addition we
often have personal leanings that
clog up these discussions every
time they crop up.
co. CHANGING over a 1914 issue
on, Negro baseball, a supposedly
official year book on the subject
I noticed an article on page 8
written by Sam Lacey, sports edi-
tor of the Afro-American, which
states:
"Josh Gibson, in my book, mea-
sures up as a major Lacquer only
in the department of long-ball
hitting. He, (Gibson) like Roy
Campanella, is far below the stand
ards set by the average big
Lacquer as a defensive catcher.
He (Gibson) neither receives well
etc, etc.
The point I wish to hear from
you on, AL is how in kingdoms
name could anyone accuse Cam

sve, alert backstop even as Tar
back as 1914. I saw all NNL games
played in this city from the days
the league first operated and I.
think Lacey was dead wrong. Yer

(A) Wouldn't it be much better

has an answer that might serve
you far better than were I to at
