All that a Jew needs to make him eligible to baseball or any other sport
on the same terms with other people, is to develop a sportsman’s spirit.
The Jew has crowded into all the lucrative sports, but only on the
commercial side of them, seldom if ever in sympathy with the sport as a
real sportsman. The Jews referred to as gamblers in these articles are
not really gamblers: they take no chances; they are not sportsmen enough
to gamble; they are “sure thing” men. The “Gentile boobs” who walk into
their traps are the people who provide the money. Even in the field of
money, the Jew is not a sport—he is a gangster, ringing a gang of his
ilk around his victims with as much system as a storekeeper supplies
clerks and delivery boys.
Lately the Jews have been endeavoring to prove that they are sports.
Venial sport editors are sometimes induced to write certain laudatory
articles along that line, and frequently the name of Benny Leonard is
used—Benny Leonard, the light-weight fighter. Benny forms an instructive
illustration just along this line. Benny declares that he went into the
ring without a scar and that he will leave the ring without a scar. Why?
Because he will let no one hit him. He will go a long way to avoid pain.
The true wrestler risks and often suffers physical pain. So does the
true ring fighter. But it is a Jewish characteristic to avoid, if
possible, the pain of contest, just as it is a characteristic to avoid
unnecessary effort.
Look at the other light-weight champions and fighters. Kid Lavinge
carries scars; his hearing is affected by the blows he took. Battling
Nelson was so badly shattered by his fights that operations were
necessary. Ad Wolgast, as a result of the honest straight fighting he
endured, went into a sanatorium. Imagine Willie Ritchie and Freddie
Welsh boasting that they never took a blow! But Benny Leonard is still
unscarred. It may be boxing, but it is not fighting.
Wrestling is so tightly controlled by Jewish managers, that a real
wrestler is absolutely barred out, for fear he will be able to show that
the handful of wrestlers hired by the Jewish trust are not wrestlers at
all, but only impositions on the good nature of the public. In order
that the statement just made may not be misunderstood, it is repeated:
the wrestling game at present is like the chariot race in a circus—the
performers are hired men and the race is only a sham. The Jewish
controllers of wrestling will not permit a real wrestler to
appear—indeed, they go to infinite pains to bar him out—because a real
wrestler would immediately show up the game. Wrestling is as much a
Jewish _business_, controlled in its every part, as the manufacture of
clothing, and its hirelings are mostly Gentiles.
